walking with initiative

I’m walking with initiative pressed between my fingertips

It’s not a cigarette, but it burns just like a hypocrite

I’ve played the same beat

About twenty times deep

A rewind freak

Just trying to find my speech

I’ve climbed mountains and cast my hook into the sky

Reeled in all the stars and used the light to spark my rhymes

Sure, it helped through darker times

But they’ve passed

I’m living in the now

So bartender, fill another glass of gin

It used to be my courage

A cure for all the nerves and a fuel for the current

Nowadays the nerves settled

And adrenalines revving

Man I live for the stage and the microphone peddling

I heard an old quote and its read as labelled

                             “Do what you have to now

                              So you can do what you want to later”

And what I want is what I have

To make you all sway

From on stage with no strings attached, all day

It’s all of me inside of you

And you inside of me

Repeated over this beat

So move your feet

                “It’s all of me inside of you and you on top of me”

It’s the air that we breathe

And the freedom of our dreams

It’s the A’s and the Z’s

And every letter in between

When life can be smaller

Than a decimal seen

Were all giant beings

Equipped with infinite beans

To the sky

Why people try to

Cut our stocks I don’t know why

The same story goes for the nerds and jocks

It needs to stop

But it won’t cause its innate

It’s like communism on paper

It sounds great

To pick on the weak

To get what you want

But this is my boulder

So get the funk off

We need to stride through these rough times

And ride through these tough tides

And keep our eye and passion in mind

Cause there ain’t enough time

The key to survive is replacing you with I

But when the two meet together it’s a beautiful sight

Like two tigers on the prowl but they share the fight

Or finishing each other sentences like

                                                Au-weirdersen- Good night!

I knew a woman

Who shed a tear every day since birth

Not of her own- but of her sons curse

Tears were dropping

But the tears were of joy until she lost him

The world opened up its arms and caught him

Embraced him and taught him

How to be a man

He went from holding hands with his fam-

To a global span

Thailand, Taiwan, Korea and Japan

The Asian fevers sinking in

He’s drinking in this quicksand

But he skipped to South America

Now amidst the Amazon, Aztecs’ and malaria

He’s come a long way

From growing up in Ontario

Smoking weed

Chasing girls

And blowing out the stereo

And everywhere he’s been

And everything he takes in

And every song he sings

And everyday the sun brings

New life to this gentle-

Man who reminisces about this woman over instrumentals
