Roulette

Feelin
So amazin'
Nothin' fazin'
Me as i'm makin
My way
Though the day in
This place 'n'
I'm takin'
My time
Yeah, a casual pace
Cuz I'm not on the grind
I'm on vacation
I was only racin
Through the subway station
For a train
To take me to the airport where the plane
Was waitin'
But now Imma flip
The script
Like bacon
Or more precisely a switch
That's fadin'
A bright
Light
For the occasion

I stay creatin'

Thought i told ya before
I'm always ready for a beat
Like a soldier for war
Feelin incomplete
If i don't rhyme words or
Find a creative way
To speak
And say
What's on my mind
Or what I'm thankful for
Today
Or what I'm fearin'
What I'm reverin'
Which way i'm thinkin of steerin'
Most of the time
I'm just clearin'
My mind
Of these thoughts that stay try'n
To climb
To the forefront
When I'm try'n to igore'em but
They can't cramp my
Syle
Can't reverse my smile
Can't tamper
With my peaceful state
While
I'm in escape
Mode

Feel the freedom
As i'm roll-
-in down the road
To wherever it goes
Let it take
Hold
As i explode
And break
Molds
I never fold
But i'll bend
Before i crack
And if that
Hap-
-pens I'll snap back
Then
See what's hap'nen
Catch up; get back on track 'n'
Keep trappin
Reality in my rappin
While I'm runnin' my yap 'n'
Speaking on opinions and facts 'n'
People, organizations and factions
Ethics and technological contraptions
History books that paint pictures with inaccurate captions
I have a passion
For human interaction
Discussion of impressive or disgustin' acts
Discourse
About intercourse
And sexual satisfaction
Involuntary spasms
From orgasms
Or just laughin
Doing the math 'n'
Addin, subtractin
Multiply, divide
End up with a fraction
That i can't hide
So you get a better look inside
My melon
Once I was a young felon
Now i'm older and doing well 'n'
There's no need for drug sellin'
No need for me propellin
Myself in some careless direction
I've got my health 'n'
I've got a wealth
Of knowledge and wisdom
That i use at my discretion
As a weapon
Against depression
Hit 'em
Up with it, when they stressin
If they've made a good impression
Cuz it's good to stay
Checkin'
Up on folks these days
So many ways
I'm which life can wreck in
Just a second
I reckon
So gotta be in protection
Mode
When the life of
One you love
Implodes
From all the stress and strife
That contribute to the lows
Outweighin'
The highs
Displayin'
Warning signs
Like they behavin'
Resigned
Suddenly not much is weighin'
Heavy on they mind
And they sayin
Things that you probably find
Concerning
Don't be burning
Time
Spring into action
At the drop of a dime
You're interaction
May be be the thing
That brings
Them back over the line
And that's real
Cuz I've been over that line before
Know how it feels
Don't wanna live like that no more

So this is how i do
I start with a deep breath
In through
My nostrils only
Then out
My nose and mouth
Slowly
Homie

Then i remind myself that the stress can't hold me
Back or down

Then i gradually come back around
Again
Ready to swim
Cuz i can't drown
In
This
That would a terrible end
Just
Imagine

So i do
And that keeps it from hap'nen

I hope that you
Find a way to do that, too

Before the curtains close
And the world starts clappin'
Cuz it's the end of the show
