This is 64 without the hook repeated twice. i hope thats ok.
Good luck TheReturn. breathe easy

"The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy. "
Alfred North Whitehead

...End Of A New Beginning...
I travel my destiny, with all things testing me,
And my lack of cash
my burlap sac of a smile, optimism and integrity
While I walk my mission You best believe,
I pass fools, hassles, and mad •••els
But I still manage to have dues

I might pass benevolent heaven sent signs and elements
But that’s my life paths intention/ design
Divine interventions and blind intersections offering intelligence
I just hope that at the end of my journey
I’m not yearning to learn more past the gurney

As I wonder along this privileged pilgrimage
I ponder long about the importance
Of self assessed images
I get into it, rearranged the distortion
That is filling kids
Frankly, It gives me the heeby jeebies
Thinking about how easily
These emcees on Mtv’s CD’s
Feasibly can weaken knees.
creating the weekend tease. -ladies?-
With their sleezy scheme
Of money honeys and cream
Creating the illusion that they own legitimate dreams.

[Hook]
The definition of children is the life we lead
Before the tragedy of television and hi-fi feeds
Telling them what their life has to be as it magically
ignites with ease, torching up a path of sci-fi dreams
Of being astronauts, or pet vets, our best bet
Is to keep sight not what we haven’t got. …But what we had……
And ignore the ramped talk of these affiliates of silly kids

This dudes too cool!
Me? Just the usual,
Sitting in a cubicle
Pickin at my cuticles
Hoping this isn’t the extent
Of life intent,
My incentives were beautiful
Push, but I choose to pull.
This goes to those too cool to roll,
What ever happened taking the school bus
Back in the past,
When we'd act like we didn’t know what cool was
When there were no rules to bust
When we needed stools and it was tough
to get to the top shelf
When we greeted news and got help
When we weren’t conceded fools
Dwelling in our lost self.
Cause life is a moment in space
So fight the self loathing disgrace
Only homies want to chase
Through this land of ass and tits
Me? Lend me and a hand and my abacus
I’m not having this!!

Wisdom is my map
Wonder is my gas
Living is my task!
With women and sinning being one of the many
Spinning Impossible obstacles I’ll pass
Through tricks, dips and feats
Please keep your eye on the prize
Try not to defy your signs
Otherwise you’ll find yourself 6 feet deep

[Hook]

trying to stop you with their rampant talk

It's all good iwth the line limit...fuck man I've had a long week. I'm drunk right now. I'll post what I have of the verse I was working on for this week, just so I won't no show.

Death sleeps in the eyes of those who love you

Eyes bathed in a green ocean, you were never one to be seen hopin'.
Just tossed me out of the nest, and prayed that my wings opened
Or that Momma would be there to catch me, but she's dopin'.
She's with a fiend, smokin', and you're too busy free loadin'
To take responsibility for a seed who might as well be homeless,
The aftermath of an accident that left a condom's seam broken.
And now my dream's hopeless,
Cause you told Momma you loved her and would keep focused,
That everything would be okay and that we'd flourish.
But now she's hurtin', and her kids have to rough it more,
It's y'all's fucking mistakes, what do we have to suffer for?
We live on the toughest floor
Of one of the worst buildings in the area of Rucker Park.
He was so fuckin smart, till he messed around with crack and shit,
And since Dad's a bitch, he had to snitch on his baddest friends.
I saw death in his eyes, when it came up and he had to split
Provin' stereotypes true, running from his favorite accident...

Those eyes are a gripping blue, mother dear, you're living proof.
Used to always laugh and hug, try to give some of my wishes truth.
Now you make me do your laundry, and clean the dishes too
And on top of that I have to be there to watch what my sisters do,
Making sure they don't mimic you, too quick to befriend a dude
And make your mistakes,
Wouldn't that be pitiful? If they lived a life just like you have,
I'd hate to see them grow up, having kids without a true dad.
I could never imagine, letting that happen would be too sad,
If they live that life I've failed, and I could never do that.
I'd beat the dude's ass
If he walked out on my sisters, the same way that you have.

Those lovely hazel eyes, batting lustifully in the wake of night
The perfect way to describe such a sexy and abrasive type.
Your glowing skin and that melting smile on a face so bright,
With stories of a bad past, I was hopin' I could make it right.
Just lemme get a taste tonight, then it's me and you forever
It's always us two together,
I'll do anything you want, but with you it's just whatever.
I don't know what you're doing, dunno if you wanna screw me,
Or just wanna hang out, and get a free ticket to the movies.
But I do know I can't handle this pain that you're inducing
Cause it's too grueling,

Those crimson eyes, masked behind this reaper's grim disguise

Sorry I oculdn't finish dude, some shit came up. This is all I got man, good lucky with eveyrhting in the league. I gotta sign out.
