Missed a Stop

I ain't missed a single bump in the road
Behold
Every toll on my path of fire lead me to trailblazing
A war vet surrounded by shell casings
No weapon formed prospered but prosperity itself
Disparity of wealth
Filled by only charity of wealth
Given by each carrier of stealth
That somehow dodged my lariats
And parried em with help
Oh sweet chariot
Please before you carrier me home
Let me board flights just to sight see Rome
Let me have fights ending in fright of what
I'd do if those people were gone
Let me appreciate the lows for what they are
The highs for the marks of how far we've progressed
The stars we admire from afar to assess how small we really are
How big it is to truly live this life with intent
Let me feel the tension
Let me be cemented
Eat my fruits of labor
Then let em start fermenting
Once I earn my pension
Make sure my people enjoy the full limits
In the times I'm timid
Let me feel the indig-
Nation that replaces it with bravery beginning
Every time I'm placed in that predicament from then on
And let it be relentless
Let me feel greed
So I can know that giving
The only way I'll truly feel at peace with my provisions
When I make decisions
Make sure that my spirit is more sentient than vision
Build me up for battle
To find the love in scrimmage
Use me as a vessel
Then let me sit and listen
Let me know that starting from beginning to my ending
All my steps were blended in a way that kept me centered
From a sinner to repentance

I ain't missed a stop
I ain't missed a stop
Tell my people I ain't missed a stop
I ain't missed a stop
Tell my people I ain't —

These is just my psalms inside a sonnet
Heavy thoughts I ponder
Ain't thought inside the box since my genes was in a punnet
Prepped to be a pundit
As I reach the summit
I embrace the plummet
Knowing that you have to meet the people where they are
Seek to be a star
And burn when the gas finally cease
Me
I seek a different niche
I'm slated for some plaques
Tracks that hit charts
And the darts that hit marks
On my goals and remarks
That were sparks for my start
Once I was startled by the dark
Till I saw that lights could be harsh
Till I saw that glowing was a farce
Till I saw that idols just the people who ain't show you who they are
Until I saw that freedom seem tangible from far
When you close you just learn it's an ever moving mark
Awards are just a way to leave your sacrifices tarped
Parked car convos
On how far we'll take it
Daily affirmations
I once met God in the middle of a statement
Told me words hold life and that's truly breath—
So these days I'm a lot more quiet
Take in every lesson to apply it
Hoping that the future just as vibrant as the climate we endured
While climbing on a hunt to get to scenes that we admire
I ain't missed a stop
