Can't Be Undone

Surrealism imprisoned fucking the court system

To go from corruption and criticism to positive thinking

Tribulations and venom holding my pen up

Embellished with thermal vision relevant freedom

I bust...

This wolfs avatar cuz I'm a predator

Until I return to the dust, my bones rust

And turn to dust on this page but I'm immortalized

This is my stage...

My prescription to get away from the games

Unknown to the fame it can't be undone

Where have all the souls gone wrong?

A worse case scenario a mystic pharaoh in Babylon

Tainted with the blood of a sparrow in Avalon

Black apparel...

Follow my gallery of blasphemy in shadows

National anthems for eargasms...

It can't be undone.

Sometimes, I wish that I could...

Turn back the hands of Time, regretting lies of the past

Illuminati grasp, educated minds vast

Journey through time travels masts

The captain of this ship, surpass in all your greatest efforts

I amass...

Greater knowledge of Da Vinci code marvels

Cool like carvels you star struck pardon me God

Eclipsed through the fog, intimately involved

With hip hop's resolve, a mental orbit revolved

To dissolve hallucinations in the jungle

I'm your oasis...

As you read my script; a page turner

Public motivational speaker or journalist

Or maybe a greater contributor through Hell's furnace

Just searching for a better predicament

But they're knocking on my door; the witnesses aint getting shit!

Leave them pamphlets on the floor I wipe my ass with it

Where have all the souls gone wrong?

Blatantly shines through this poem

Soldiers fallen but the war isn't won...

There's still a battle in my head like murder, like redrum

born in the slums

It can't be undone.

Yesterday, I took a trip down to memory lane

To the block of my childhood days...

Scared to death to enter through my name

The center for all my pain but, contradictory to the source

Of my prodigal name partly insane

To walk the streets of Saint John's place

Where shots rang and your heart race

Decipher where it came from in the darkness

Corner store where I'm rocking some hot shit

While drug money whips circle the block for days

Graffiti on the church, blood stained graves

Gum merged with cement planes

Through hard times sufficed with silence

A single bullet in my revolver

I click twice...

To throw dice in the alleyways in a city where it's always night

It's just the story of my life, to say that's where I come from

The sun will always shine tomorrow

But it can't be undone.
