Leaving an ancient mark

Before those old fashion and overgrown lizards (dinosaurs) left this earth, they were sure to be discovered and factored into the scale of historical significance. Well I figure that even through I am not old, that since I think like an old soul, I might as well take a page out of their book( through they definitely didn't have books back then.lol).

When the peculiar species of Rhetorical Artz is extinct, I want my bones to bare witness to the heart felt story of why I was hear, and what I was roaming around this earth for. May my fossils forever foster the endeavors of my souls passions, perspectives, and positive energy that I emitted within this worldly existence.

When scientist look at dinosaur fossils, they are able to tell us both what the particular dinosaur ate and how they looked. When scientist look at my fossils, may they see that I devoured food from the depth of love, meaning, and contribution. May they see that I looked like what I felt like on the inside- a fine work of art.

Despite the whole being wiped out thing, I think that dinosaurs got somethings right. So like I have always been told, I will take the good and leave the bad of these crazy beast. I'll particularly be leaving the whole getting extinct thing behind. Not really diggin that dinosaur quality too much.

Why I go Wild

Why do I act up?

Cause I am changing for the better

And am bringing attention to it so that the world can catch up

"Realities" Reflections

Take off the hats and chains

Of telling dreamers their insane

Take off the shorts and shirt

Of treating people like dirt

Take off the sock and shoes

Of telling people they'll lose

Now look in the mirror

And ask how that reflects you

How I got here

When who becomes what, and whats becomes how

And how becomes why not

Where-you-wind-up-elicits-"wows"

Crowd don't always get it

They ask-how-you-got-to-where-you-are-now

You skipped some steps

Answer's not there yet
I'm still breaking barriers down

So I guess if I was to give an answer on the fly

You'd be surprised

That the reason why I got "here" is because...

I never really arrived

Talk is Cheap

Advice, only adds to my vice

Of eatin up what others say like cheese to some mice

Instead of being good to em, I’m just being nice

Which is currently the currency I use to pay the price

Why- do- I- sacrifice- what- I- write- for- others- amusement

When what they say to me with a smile ain’t that amusing

Taking in what they say makes life ser-i-ous-ly confusing

It’s ser-i-ous-ly- to- abusive- for- my- mind- to- even- use- it

Yet- I- tie- it- like- nuse- around- my- head- to hang

Why the hell won’t the world just let me do my thang?

Sayin I shouldn’t ave sang the last lyrics I dropped

And- I-Adopted –your-words

That’s the only reason I stopped

But-no-more-will-I-sacrifice-my-soul- for-sounds-your-blaring

Cause- words-that- your- saying- are- only- based- on-what-your-fearing

That-I-might-just-be-successful

Making life less stressful

My glass is half full

Won’t make it empty for fools

I let people say what they want to say
They want to talk the talk, but they don’t want to walk my way
I would let people try and show me the way
But the blind can’t lead the blind
So they won’t be paving my pathway
Nah, Nah, Nah

I’m always in aw/ in how they look my flaws

Making them so much worse/ then what they actually saw

Com-ing- at me- like-a-saw/ They- cut- into- me- raw

Every cut is colder/ and I’m unable to thaw

These words ain’t geishas

For your entertainment only

I expect you don’t neglect these words

But treat them holy

Cuz their wholy apart of my soul

They console me

To be, calm and control instead of calmly controlled-see

Cause- that’s-how-they- ya

They, tell ya to rememba

To be sure to think first and not lose your tempa

But-they-won’t-tell-how-losing-it- at- times-forms-a-reunion

Between- the-mistakes-we-make-and-what-really-makes-us-human

It’s-time-to-take-communion-with-emotions-that-are-brewing

Blend them into your soul, and feel the renewing

Theirs no rewinding the clock

Theirs no redoing

But-their-such-a-thing-as-getting-back-up-to-keep-it-moving-so…

I let people say what they want to say
They want to talk the talk, but they don’t want to walk my way
I would let people try and show me the way
But the blind can’t lead the blind
So they won’t be paving my pathway
Nah, Nah, Nah

Time to reload

When nights feel so low

And hope can’t be seen with a microscope

I might be able to cope if I had a rope

Pulling me towards some clarity

Cause this much man is clear to me

People in this country are working without a cause

Working 9 to 5 while denying their life flaws

I don’t need a clause to back this

Just look at the people who claim their Moms and Dads but lack the practice

To focused on their practice in professionalism

That they won’t teach their kids how to beat the system

Making them into victims

Lacking the know how

Of how to dilute the pollution that killing their youth now

And if society was a tank, their shooting blanks

Lacking ammunition from those of higher ranks

The higher ranks are those who have some insight on topics

But won’t give a little unless they gain a little profit

I’m not doing this for cash or flashy clothes

I’m doing this so that your souls guns can re-load

So you can decode , this superficial road of false gold

So open up your mind and let life’s mystery unfold

let life’s mystery unfold

So you can decode , this superficial road of false gold

So open up your mind and let life’s mystery unfold

I let people say what they want to say
They want to talk the talk; but they don’t want to walk my way
I would let people try and show me the way
But the blind can’t lead the blind
So they won’t be paving my pathway
Nah, Nah, Nah
