The hug

call me soft, delicate

aint enough 

enough of this misunderstanding mess 

try nah 

die hmuu 

 

no bull, the more i run, try

the more those horn stab me left and right from the steering path in front of me.  

 

love nah, people would tell me stop chasing it, but ight no one understand 

 

graduated, got a four year degree in singlology, aint no one understand 

 

red wires, popping veins, my heart glows like a fuse, cut the wrong trap trip. 

the truth of the matter is aint no one know if it goes bang. 

 

damn, no me and you 

but who are you 

you, 

 

love is so symbolic, people like to lock and put it in the back of their pocket

forgetting not the mean but also the feelings

 

felt of a snow drop, waterfall that starts with drip drops, 

falling in love

nah hole trip, never wanting you to come back

 

because of the way their body moves

dudes hustling over you like a bunch gnats 

not looking for love, aint no kind of word integrated in their vocabulary

 

no comment, no concerns, aint no worry in the wondering world 

smash and pass

nexus hours glass

no relative real interactions 

but time just pass

 

what I look for aint no girl notice that or understand

just a stand up act 

really look at the guy, that caught your eye 

compare to the other guy 

standing up act

 

our generation is a bunch of jokes, 

"men" locked up behind some metal bars,

rappers spit sick, separating their disease

a growing apocalypse 

young girls diffled butter, 9 months later babies in and out

mother can barely get a G.H.D 

Really G.O.T.D. 

nah "nigga" G.O.M.D. sucking me for being at my top best 

sink to bottom dont mean bring the other that rise to the top and are not trying to stop

 

shout out 

SHOUT: to the girls that aint got the little boys got them fading 

SHOUT: to the boys that rose above those so called "men" 

 

At the end of the day, making the same mistake twice is OK but third times the charms makes you the fool

fool of lies, caught up drama, and separate aside desires

 

-Always keep pushing forward
