Topic: You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering.
Henri-Frédéric Amiel


Heh, the normal life just wasn't meant for me,
A king stranded in a peasent's scene,
Nothing van-quished stress but weed,
All else would be a vasectomy(sp?),

Blessed with grief, and a pen that leaked,
I learned most lessons are left unseen,
Just gotta catch the best, and get free,
Maybe then we'll be blessed to rest, and then peace, left grief,
I can read, see what's between the lines,
If I didn't learn, visions burn, leaves me blind,
I learned there ain't no point in showin' off to dad,
So why show off to these cocky cats,
Insults were thrown like always, sad,
But now, insults are water rollin' off my back,
Cuz if I took to heart, all the sharper jabs,
Recallin' back, I'd be long gone, off the map,
Caused the cat to focus on his soul when he vents,
He's always depressed, death sets on his hopes so they jet,
His opus is yet to be shown,
Soul thrown in a deck, grown from cold shoulders thrown to his friends,
But we gotta hope to ascend,
Otherwise we'll crumble like coke blown, nose to ya head,
Maybe pride was the sacraficial lamb,
Cuz now I write raps with my pistol hand,
I learned, sometimes, the best thing to do is leave,
When all you see is a scene that is bruised from grief,
Usually, it's too bleak to see,
Truthfully, I lose sleep too b,
Over this hopelessness, it swallows you up,
It follows you like hounds would do and then it's bottled and dumped,
That's when shit starts evolvin',
Thinkin' you can solve it without human involvement,
But truth is, that bottle pops, out comes everything,
A wound too long left festering,
But I never let it censor me,
Cuz I swear to god, I'll never let it get the best of me...
