1 The Road

 

I remember Natasha sayin' that Andrew was a good kid

That's about the time that my imagination began to run more wild..

If..

Man, with my cousins I felt that free

I decided to smoke weed

"Nothin' that fixed couldn't be"

Accordin' to me a sin's not exactly what it seemed

Oh and please, excuse my baby cousin, Larry, Haneen

After a smoke cypher, Andrew had said "I try to escape reality every chance I get"

I hadn't felt it's effect

I, honest, had tough skin growin' up but longed for a softer heart

Be careful with what you wish for because I broke down over the "God's good" part

Yea, I've been guilt trippin'

On MyFreeCams for nothin' in return 15 K+ tippin'

 

2 Dissapointments

 

Dissapointments don't shake you

Struggles don't break you

Your heart wants to take you

 

3 Still

 

I'm tryina shower in the rain and rest beneath the stars

Let's set short term goals to reach our dreams even if they seem so far

You can't quit as long as still beatin' is your heart

Even if you only got to the moon how special those memories are

 

4 Tan Rubber Bands

 

Pink clouds and blue skies

After dissapointment you may sigh

Your feelin's in your heart lie

Tan rubber bands get a bleached black tee tied

After heartbreak you may cry

Don't let that take away from the fact that you tried

 

5 I'm Tryina

 

The seagulls flyin' in the distance keep inspirin' me

I see courage admirin'ly

I'm tryina be the moon's entirely

My deams keep goin' the fire in me

 

6 Rest

 

It's dark out and the rains pourin'

Take a break from your vision and ideas you've been explorin'

It got cold this winter, not warm out, at night nor in

Rest from everything you've taken in and take more in

 

7 The Love

 

So much time spent out by the shore under the sunlight

The love of the goals you plan to reach matter even if your dreams comin' true just might

What a sunburn so pink so bright

Overcomin' obsticles and challenges are just proof you're reachin' higher heights

 

8 Your Aspirations

 

If you take a look out into the world, you can see such a wild meadow

As long as you keep tryin' your aspirations with failure you have met no

That winter breeze blows and it gets cold

The goin' may get tough but remainin' innocent you'll have kept gold

 

9 It Hasn't Been

 

The Bronx Bombers on my back

Kids with beefs drawin' bats

It hasn't been all that bad

I have fond memories of bein' out playin' catch..

Atleast I have that

 

10 Passion and Romance

 

The sun is dawnin' on the road

Passion and romance unfolds

As much as you have to give don't forget what you expirience told

We're on journeys with paths unknown

Some reach their destination young, some old and others don't

It's not about gettin' somewhere, it's about on the way makin' the most

 

11 The Watchtower

 

Embryos and fluids

More sez smoke than a Buddhist

Not such a bad idea have the nudists

Never has Alicia Silverstone looked so clueless

 

12 The Fall

 

A bright sun comes out with its heat

Then a cool breeze blows

Nana's place on Howe ave

Frosted Flakes

Pink and purple beaded bracelets

They say that time's money but really I'm just tryina waste away

 

13 August

 

16 years old shoutin' and screamin'

A head full of dreams dreamin'

The sun beamin'

Sweat off of skin steamin'

 

14 '08

 

Peers all smokin' weed

Talks about how fun it'd be

Just turnin' 16

Google then sneak

About the 10th session later, lit deemed

Gettin hooked a bit seems

Somewhere to smoke, not too but

quietly

Bein' out on the street

 

15 Paradise

 

A pretty much harmless said drug

Hooked, assaulted over and again, fed up

Acceptin, im bein a pothead, much

A bowl, blunts instead of

I see, all jersey beach water wet, sun

Get drawn, lines in the sand

Lit's a couple tenth's of a gram

 

16 Lost

 

There's the bridge, to the right

Just over a hill, a cold winter 3rd Ward night

It's dark but a bit lit

A snow storm with an inch

Not too many but just a few people on their way

Not too late

On such a lost path

All that's left behind's so sad

 

17 Anime

 

Iriko dashi in the air from a miso soup steam

On a table's unsweetened green tea

Black wave curl locks shag on pale skin

Black, a bit round and square frames tipped over half shut brown eye's lids

A light grey hoodie and burgundy joggers transition from Osaka to skater fit

 

18 The Berin' Strait

 

Your skin's got tanned more than a bit beige

Past this time before we've stayed

It's already dark

A mess my room and head are

I'm just layin' down in bed

The air conditioner's to the coldest set

My phone plays music that I'm listenin' to on my chest

This heart pumps the sqwak's of seagulls at sundown but you could feel the stress

Then as well, the smallests of moments spent'll carry on in our steps

A couple of flashbacks stuck of what you had said

I reach for the chilled water and receive a notification of 1 of your texts

We met the loneliest of nights in a cold winter

Those summer vibes have been 'er

She's a girl just like you but brown

Ever findin' her I'm not sure of in my small town
