I tuck my sadness into bed
Maybe when I wake up,
Things won’t be so bad
Don’t turn back
Don’t forgive me

and i know that you disagree, because for you this is just how things go.
but though i know you don’t care for it, you can’t just ignore all my texts.
My name is Jacob
I dont wear make-up
I am a man
I dont live in a van
I need money
For my honey
I see fog
I need a job
I am special
I like to wrestle

Then I thought I was a caged bird
Lame, old and helpless
Now I know, I was but a bird’s chick
I was tangled around the spider web you’ve
Been weaving throughout your life
Messing around always keeping me down
But then why did I want more?

I can't make it out from the rest anymore.
And I hope, just hope
One day that it grows large enough to suit me.
Longing for a place

The Vernacular that so-called “real Niggas” use to define the Lame.
The allusion blatantly used, not behind, but in front of their irises,
Addicted to organization
through words, throughout your thoughts
Addicted " to a certain kind of sadness"
within your fears and your doubts
Addicted to the words that bring you up
