“Succubus…The Cure”

Feeling like I need a fix,

Heart ain’t broken, but I’m hoping for a momentary glitch

Actions contradict what I think /

Addicted to her kiss,

Fiendin’, seems like I’m leaning towards the abyss /

Looking forward to instant bliss,

Even if for a brief moment I’d take the risk /

She frees my endorphins, instigates a metamorphosis /

She has a morbid sense of humor, twisted like a contortionist /

The intercourse is priceless /

Attracted to any crisis /

The type to leave you stranded without reason /

Yet I’d Travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic in any season /

No tease, straight to the point,

No need for cheese to get to the cow’s tenderloin /

She doesn’t indulge in compliments or coin /

Exchange ideas, she makes you feel wise /

You better get them copyrighted before the ink dries /

Wicked adventures,

Waking up twisted as pretzels /

This one you cannot stencil /

She’s gone in a second like poof,

A witch with no broom /

It’s too late once her elixir’s consumed /

No anecdote,

The best that you can hope for is doom /

She just wants enough to quench the thirst /

She preys on the weak that seek to get purged /

I am told I am different, I am of significance /

But the moment I show self-discipline, I am no longer sufficient /

She prefers to wreak havoc on those that won’t regain innocence /

Am I free to come and go as I please? /

While you spread your plague I contemplate retreat /

I may not be here when you return,

I’ve found the cure for this disease /

“Ratchet/Commercial”

Using words like ratchet, that’s just flat-out unattractive

And if we ain’t fucking…

Then what’s the point in listening to your racket?

It seems nowadays this is the type of music that’s poppin’

I’ll bite, kill all their mics and get off, Johnny Cochran

It seems sophistication is not an option

I’m out of options, it’s about time I just make it

Should I shift gears or give in to product placement?

Can’t listen to current airwaves

DJ’s carelessly playing dead weight

Get thrown curve balls, it’s hard to keep my head straight

All these curved drawers keep my head straight

Lovely lady gets on her paws, but make sure she’s not intoxicated, I’m fair-play

Forget the foreplay and climb the stairs until you reach the top of the staircase

But using ratchet in every other sentence is gruesome

I’m not amused, I’ve blown a fuse trying to comprehend, but what’s the use?

Plus you start adding other words that don’t make sense, I’m just confused

The bae? Are you referring to ‘Frisco?

All I hear is insults and how they’re loading up missiles

I guess everyone is carrying pistols

Everyone claims to be a criminal selling dope

I just sit back and keep my words moving like envelopes

I need a brain to go along with this centerfold

Are you ratchet on your Snapchat?

Are you ratchet because you have a tramp-stamp?

If you’re so ratchet then where’s your man at?

“Candidates”

I could sell the shit out of anything!

Floating like a butterfly and armed with a deadly sting
I bring cool shit to the table
While they string cheese together and feed you fables
Can’t place a label on me, I’m here to leave behind the impact of a creator, believe…
Believe in a greater power that allows me to build concrete towers
Withstand meteor showers
Why does the media waste hours?
Eradicated many views, but it’s time to state ours
Distasteful material I vomit, not worth the profit
It’s absurd, but people cop it
No co-pilot in my cockpit
I’m confident in my abilities
Don’t compliment me, just mimic me
Vibe out and picture the design vividly
Candidates hand out laminates for blind support
Corruption where votes are ghost, promote false reports
Can’t be fought in court, it’s all a show
Do you understand what I’m saying?
It’s like a séance, I’m speaking to man that’s decayed or decaying
Praying for a better tomorrow, but I put in the work for countless hours
Got goals to accomplish
Shut myself off from the world like I’m Amish
Paying no homage to these amateurs because they sabotage their own diameter

“Rampart”

What an offensive philosophy

Officer get off of me, there will be no colonoscopy
Weren’t you trained to investigate properly?
These atrocities separate race like apostrophes
No drugs found on my physical or in my residence
False imprisonment, witnesses recording could result in dividends
No signs of evidence, but I’m face down on the sediment
Your partner’s looking at me with sentiment
Bad cop, good cop
Can’t wait to carve into your division like wood shop
What makes you credible? You’re human like I am
Extort prostitutes and taking bribes while hiding behind the siren
Latinos and blacks with no chance to counterattack, race card
Resisting arrest, pleading no contest to the fake charge
No funds for an attorney, the public defender’s a rookie
Innocent until proven guilty, but I’m headed straight for booking
Video clips all over the news
There’s a chance to pursue a lawsuit
Psychological damage to add to the bruises
When the EMT’s arrived at the scene they thought I might need a transfusion
Bloodier than a tampon

Another day within the division of Rampart

“Trending”

What's up with all this nonsense? (I’m hearing)

Same topics are constant, they need to step up their content

Do I need to keep it simple like they’re imbeciles?

I'm liberal grammatically

If you can't comprehend me I will explain it gradually

I'm not trying to sound condescending

Just trying to understand all this garbage that's trending

Basic material, all styles are adjacent

I guess a little recognition makes you complacent

In a compromised place

I guess the monotonous is an acquired taste

No batteries required when the fires misplaced

I get it, you have to capitalize since the future’s uncertain

I remain determined to make a change even if burdened

We’re on the opposite sides of the spectrum

I didn’t choose this gift, I was selected

I don’t write about hoes, guns or fast cars

But, if I did I would run circles around them like NASCAR

I would describe getting dome from the finest feline

Showing up the competition as I stroll away throwing up the peace sign

“Poltergeist”

When the future seems bleak

You have to be discrete and consume the weakness

The ego floats and carries you straight to the deep end

Stay afloat in a frequent search for a beacon

You find yourself speaking to yourself questioning what is felt

Emotions can be stealth

The subconscious acts on the cards that are dealt

Some linger on the edge while others summon from another realm

The energy must remain intact, in fact the energy must overwhelm

It must ward off the succubus, fluids or substance

Guard the circumference and abstain from rambunctious functions

Still shower in will-power

Stay consistent or the momentum will cower

State the truth

Living transparent and don’t question proof

Remain on your side of the spectrum, don’t expect a truce

Business suits and recruits alike, anyone can pay the price

Ample ammo to prevent a heist

Won’t give in to threats of a poltergeist 

“Soul Mate”

Tan skin with a deep voice

Typing on your keyboard

The friend zone was a decoy

 I'm ready to deploy --- into the war zone

Rearrange your hormones

Our exchanges are informal

I engage your torso --- like a physical

Excavate your labia for minerals

It’s a mystical location

I think I just might pursue this vocation

Urging you to become my permanent patient

Doc Hank Moody, truly here to stay

Always lure me in the way you wear lingerie

You don’t have to be nude for me to get active

My imagination has me seeing through fabric

A couple of encounters while we’re sitting in traffic

Public  situations, in the rain on mud

This is lust, not love, but there’s trust, no glove

We have the occasional role play

And never discuss topics like soul mates

Nothing’s off limits, love to watch her face grimace

A mutual respect, we connect until we both finish 

“Irony”

A drowning man smiled on his way down

Holding onto an electric guitar hoping to hear his final sounds

A sequoia tree collapsed with no one around to assist

The tree thought to itself, “this is the most beautiful gift”

Eternal existence was not for either entity

Both most certainly witnessed something menacing

A racecar driver crashed and burned during the last turn

He survived the crash and said, “why the need for this urn?”

After recovering for weeks he decides to walk the streets

A drifting drag racer loses control and takes the man without being seen

 A witness in protection from the cartel is in great danger

Nearly escaping demons he’s gun down by a border patrol ranger

The bridge is wide and we’re fighting for funds

The most civilized man will lunge forward for crumbs

No irony, just reality at its finest

The globe shows love and protection through violence

“Balance”

Equal parts intelligence, place equal parts into a bowl

Equal parts universal that neutralizes my soul

I never stress that which I can’t control

The formula didn’t compose overnight

It takes observation to impose foresight

My thoughts are the remnants of a melting pot

I cross the T’s and reveal the dots

It’s an easy process to think outside the box

Take the initiative to water dying crops

Impulsive behavior can become greatness

There must be a balance between the attic and basement

Illusions are the truth from a different dimension

Too strong for many so the world offers many forms of prevention

I take the good with the bad there’s no two ways about it

I tread a narrow path to stay away from the crowded

The birth of a prominent figure that has no filter

I don’t fear to say what I think because this is my motion picture 

“The Boxer/Champion”

When you’re hungry you don’t sleep at all

See Goliath and watch him fall at the hands of the guy who wants it more

What’s the purpose in keeping score?

I was victorious before I walked through the door

Adrenaline sweating through my pores

I’m an animal and a carnivore

Taking the title regardless of the sport

A one man army taking over the fort

Killing opponents I should have a stake in the morgue

Excel at my craft just ‘cause I’m bored

Don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t afford

When you’re hungry you don’t think about food

You ain’t a badass just ‘cause you’re up to no good

You ain’t a badass ‘cause you grew up in the hood

Don’t need a gun to fire off at my targets

We could go toe to toe to see who hits the hardest

You’ll be sleeping on the canvas, I’m the knock out artist

“Resilience”

Plugged in, initiate contact with the unknown

Living in modern times trying to connect with the spirit, what a conundrum
Ask and ye shall receive,
But you don’t get what you want, you get what you need
What more can you ask for?
Good health, wealth and the desire to explore
It’s hot in the kitchen,
But I’d take a couple of stitches instead of living in fiction
Nothing makes you stronger than a little affliction
If you say it, mean it, don’t be a contradiction
The Richter scale’s magnitude is on a frantic mission
There’s no need to panic when you hold your ground
No restrictions, you decide what is allowed
Turn the corner and never look back, no statements to retract
When you’re always on the go there’s no permanent place to rest at
Beggars can’t be choosers, but can only control their ledger
No hedge fund, it’s a must to seek out treasures
Reap the benefits of repetition to get better
Witness greatness without paying attention
Attempt to expand on the brain’s retention
The design fluctuates like a hydraulic
The signs are exposed, but are they truly acknowledged?
Even the wisest messages get a “return to sender”
Resilient echoes of the purest agenda

“Law of Attraction”

Maintain sanity in the sewer of life

Maneuver like a legend until the engine ignites

In plain sight with nothing to hide

Raise the stakes because a bluff won’t suffice

A poker face that mutates with hippie hair

Survive the coldest nights like a grizzly bear

Fermented blood, demented mind

When you least expect it your lease is up on rented time

I have no time to entertain fantasies

My thoughts won’t be held down from soaring by gravity

Bend the rules of nature naturally

The ratios are against those that think rationally

Words transcribed can be words of action

Intent attracts in the Law of Attraction

Knowledge is the gas that replenishes

Without that petro I’d have a brain hemorrhage 

"Who Am I"

Have you decided your path or is it up for debate?

Are you a spectator or a part of the parade?

Do the choices you make hurt you or are they beneficial?

When your day has come how many people will miss you?

Do you feel other people’s pain or are you indifferent?

Are you proficient in communication or are you a misfit?

Are you a recluse or a person of dialogue?

Are you driven or do you just ride along?

If you’re hungry do you rely on someone else or do you check the cupboards?

Are you open to advice or are you stubborn?

Would you extend your arm to someone falling off a cliff?

Do you forgive or forget if ever you’re pissed?

Would you admit to your faults and attempt to have them fixed?

Is your house built of straw, sticks or made of bricks?

Are you a team player or are you a team leader?

If you had great knowledge would you keep it to yourself or would you teach it?

Would you take vengeance on someone that was deceitful?

Are you a preview or are you the main feature?

Are you a model citizen that follows city ordinance?

Do you allow yourself to be persecuted or are you an insubordinate?

“The Ones”

Writing’s a privilege I will never misplace, never disgrace

When you’re hungry you do it with taste

A palette for extravagant delicacies  

For true energy willing to take a vow of celibacy

The line extends around the corner

Rather keep the loyalty and keep the line shorter

Inspiration comes in various forms

A song, a movie or a baby that’s born

I have no mercy on enemies because I have no foes

Stay close to the ones that were there for the highs and the lows

The ball is in my court I’m always ready to get the ball off

You have my back, I have your back ‘till the wheels fall off

When I commit there’s no stopping the train

If it derails you’re the only that you can blame

A lot of bloodsuckers lurk in the dark

If you’re smart you can spot them from afar 

" The Vision is Now"

The vision is now, a commission is formed

There’s no compromising the ability to perform

Abnormal drive that increased overtime

Adapt and transform like Optimus Prime 

The best of the best, survived many tests

Time is pressing one must dress to impress

Western territory opens up for the taking

Spaghetti strings to go along with the cheese that I’m grating

Is he a human or is he a zombie?

A man that you won’t be ever disarming

The weapons are in place for a successful endeavor

For the first time in a long time he’s held together

His blood strain is universal forever

Looking to make it rain regardless of weather

The vision is now, the vision’s prolonged

Forming unbreakable bonds 

“Temptation”

She’s a contortionist, an avid abortionist

Many judge her and find her abhorrent

Yet, many women pirate her style more than a torrent

She’s an evil genius with indifferent intentions

An intellectual with impressive credentials

A sexual creature, a hypocrite when she spews lectures

She says, “Do as I say, not as I do”

Is she confused or is she amused by playing these dudes?

Not a gold-digger, she stacks her own money

Is she a model or is she a playboy bunny?

I never figured it out, but that’s none of my business

I’m the only one that survived her hit-list

Now we’re friends, and it’s interesting to sit back and witness---

Poor delusional fools falling for sexual favors

Sure, we had our encounters, but I never thought to tame her

Monogamy is blasphemy to her earlobes

She’s seduced businessmen, artists, and weirdoes

She says she’s well protected, she doesn’t jeopardize her health

But, I’m debating temptation as she reaches for my belt

“Illuminated”

Freedom of speech

Ignore the demons that preach
The semen that reached beneath the surface
Must turn this birth into a purpose
Convert from the circus
Desert the serpent
Emerge from the furnace
Remove all curtains
A clear view, a clear path
Left the wrath in the rear view
If you’re a sheep, they try to shear you
If you’re a wolf they might fear you
If they don’t, strike twice so they hear you
Make ends meet in the deep end
Monday thru Sunday, no such thing as a weekend
Fight the good fight against the bad guys
No retreat until one of us flat-lines
The wasteland is illuminated by flashlights
The energy is siphoned by the powers that be
Cowardly attack from the sky and comfortably attack from the sea
FDA approved to reduce the health of society
They feed us contaminated and ruined facts
Protect Ya Neck, but there’s no need for aluminum hats
9/11, Sandy Hook, Michael Jackson
JFK, CERN, blood sacrifices for satisfaction
Rituals by rich people dressed as gods and goddesses
Same people calling the shots and making false promises

“Infatuation”

Spotted you from across the room as I consumed

Is it the poison that enhances your allure?

Or is it pure? I had to find out for sure

Steady steps in your direction

Instincts persuading me to pursue a connection

Never felt this nervous when thinking about the opposite sex

What do they call you and by what are you impressed?

What are your habits and would you answer if I called you collect?

I want to put you in a movie that I fully direct – and co-star in

Play you like guitar strings, I’m not trying to be charming

Not your ordinary duo, together we’re misfits

I could lose myself for the rest of this existence

You’re worth every second

 I would trade in this life of living reckless without question

You’re my lover, my therapist and my best friend

My ambition to overcome dead-ends

Before I get ahead of myself would you care to conversate?

I know the thoughts are real, I’m still in a conscious state

Reassuring jargon, I’m sure you’re a target to most

I’m sure you’re approached by gross, ill-mannered folk

I’m different, my intentions are not merely physical

Want to make you laugh, cry and feel miserable

Your beauty’s overwhelming, need to find out if your mind is similar

We can indulge like crickets in the night

And have a picket fence that ain’t white  

“24/7”

Fearless encounters, dealing with outbursts

Life’s a 24/7 job that’ll never be outsourced

Layers reveal the pain and the healing

Home is where the heart is and it has no ceiling

The wilderness is peaceful

But, people try to burn the wilderness down with diesel

Don’t claim to know the secret, but if I did I would keep it

No leaking, deep in the game, never been seen in the bleachers

A wordsmith with the urge to be purchased

Nothing’s what it seems on the surface

First and foremost no cutting corners

Face facts, everyone’s ancestors were foreigners

Indigenous state of mind wherever I choose to recline

Life’s a 24/7 job I refuse to resign 

“Stress Reliever”

Stress reliever, confessions can make you a believer

The clock’s persistent and leaves no time for a breather

A few yards away from the goal-line

I’m a writer, not a fighter

I have a lighter side, but if you test then you’re playing with fire

Hair blowing in the wind against the tension

Dwelling on the ability for ascension

Transformation through many phases

Awaiting to finally experience stasis

I could be contentious in my convictions

Positive affirmations can make truth of predictions

I can only offer blood, sweat and tears

Either you’re conquered by or you conquer your fears

A revival of literary and musical recital

Just started to learn to stay away from false idols

The battle may have resulted in victory

But, war won’t cease until one side experiences misery

Even though not a participant, one must acknowledge

Many forms of distress; geography, beliefs and economics

Many perspectives on what defines an under or overachiever

Still searching for the stress reliever
