Spirit

Overdose

Notice me
Know this me
Know this thing
That we call love
Dopamines
Dope to me
Overdose..

Black feet- black cleats- Athlete- Black dreams

Black fleece- bah bah black sheep- black swan

Black Maybach, black man in the back seat- black streets

Black mask- black duffle bag- black thundercat

If money is over everything..then name everything under that

Black heart- black eyes – black tar, add veins

Black pain- back pain- got a lotta weight on me,

And my family waiting on me- so it’s hard to be patient

Pacing- angst in fate- facing hate- placing blame

Ached with shame- chasing gains- til you make it rain-

Til you make a name- but still, oiled skin,

Add rain, black horse, add reins- black trophies,

Add chains, green paper, add change- black life, add strain

Black face, add vain- black hoodie, add aim!

I promise you a lot of things

I promise you, I’m honest…about a lot of things

I know the problems promise brings

The problem is…

That promise is the only problem worth promising.

I know how it feels to lose it all –

Because of a mistake or have it taken from you

To withdraw – you don’t feel any part of your heart

Not that it’s breaking, it’s just breaking from you

To feel naked, vacant, ached and displaced

When facing something or someone adjacent to you

To lose faith – but that’s satan or your own creation

Taking up space so revelations don’t make it to you.
