Eight Ball 02:33

It feels great to be last Outcast, looked past, eyes glassed, I asked, if I crashed, Would I burn or just be gashed, I clashed with something rehashed Lashed Out Trashed Ate the blast Eyes flashed Color contrast, was fast, stone cast, check uncashed I’m going right in You don’t have thick skin You’re afraid of where I’ve been And you should be when You won’t win Take it on the chin, drink your gin, I’m gonna spin, out and then, grin, take us all down like a kingpin The most important link is not on the chain Black inked blood in a vein I’m insane, the bane, I reign, no plain Jane, loss and gain, ball in the chain, even but odd all the same, cocaine, longshot became, the name, open flame, kamikaze is the game, I don’t care who I defame Behind the eight ball You stall Ask again later take the fall Mirror mirror on the wall Blacked out you call Out through the hall I’m the drug that scares you blind after all Behind the eight ball, climb the wall Crawl I am the ruiner you are small I brawl, blackballed, on cue all and all, sticks break your bones but stones thrown are prone to be carved into me like I was starved for a greeting card, head hard, beyond scarred I take the fall Winner take all Magic eight ball said no Where do I go A freak without a show Kept in the dark you know Black heart black sheep black ink Tickle me pink I’m the new black I think

Did I miss my cue I came I saw I been knew Scratch that I stew In lies of I miss you Not up to scratch of the few You miss the point of tried and true Where is the hue I was drained out from blue Now I am numb and make do I am hit but not through and through Jarred around; didn’t ask you to I am judged from the wrong view I black out like a tattoo Eight ball comes to This is a game for 2 I’m not on the chain; I breakthrough Not plain, lucky 8 insane Whites of eyes in black domain Black and white the same Chalk colored pill; bullet to the brain Use me; I’m insane I do not feel pain Made from scratch not the same Life is a game I tame a flame, ready aim, me to blame, no shame, no name, you defame, I’m the bane, no loss no gain You play wrong I am right as rain White ball; take the fall In the pocket; off the wall Sticks and stones not at all Sticks break in half in a brawl Sit at the table now Scratch away how I’m serving and take a bow What are you for; no I’m about Do not doubt I shout Blackout Rule of three It’s red I see Tickle me pink I sink They have you beat I am mistress of defeat Eight ball takes a seat I run this street The one to unseat I am a scratch sheet The saboteur is discreet Off screen dragging her feet I am on the radar screen, sleek Everyone has a peak Hands on; don’t speak Watch me undress at a boutique Use me, use me; on a streak The opposite of blind is white and bleak White ball; take the fall In the pocket; off the wall Sticks and stones not at all Sticks break in half in a brawl

You do this to yourself You know Use you and go Crack Go back, no black though White reaper doesn’t sow Useful; forgotten even so She is zero No zebra stripes to show Jane doe Let go Resin, hard headed, dreaded, dead ended, When did She take the first blow Who needs the rainbow Is that your flag or is that just you Ghostly anew No one fears you and like two You once were blue Now we’re in the same blood group Except I’m 8 and you wait for someone to give it to you straight Neither of us recoup They’re chains; we’re not in the loop I like to lie on the roof I’m lucky and there’s proof You are aloof The blood ran out of you when they said shoot Bulletproof Absolute Turn off your mute You and I make the chute Movies without sound Piano keys common ground A lie, bled dry, black eye, black tie, black ink, let’s drink, I wink, tickled pink, rethink, don’t blink, white sheep, black and blue, what’d you do, white knuckle too We’re in a black and white photograph You’re so blank you never laugh Unwanted; don’t ask I’m darker than a ski mask I feel the cracks You are the white to my blacks Theres to my backs We are the outcast Contrast Not colorfast Hit me at last I swore that black was white But you’re numb, a floodlight And I want the black of night I can’t stand your lack of sight You’re a blank page and I could write But oddballs don’t attract even if unlike Movies without sound Piano keys common ground A lie, bled dry, black eye, black tie, black ink, let’s drink, I wink, tickled pink, rethink, don’t blink, white sheep, black and blue, what’d you do, white knuckle too

Black and white seeing red Chair to the head Broken bottle like breaking bread A shouting mouth bled Tooth spat out, no mind, go ‘head The chaos spread All for one the saboteur said Or one winner take all instead One is a yellow-belly that fled One is the weakest link that pled Two is blue, who knew, we don’t do, numbers too A chain is not of a few Saboteur cuts through Here ye here ye faces of fuck Amuck amuck amuck No, no, don’t blame Lady Luck The blood is on your hands, who reprimands, no one stands The ball you struck The crowd ready to erupt Shucks Was it I who chose to obstruct Bottoms up I’m no lady, buttercup Call the fire truck Gonna be a brawler A bar crawler Shot caller Off the waller Odd baller The room got smaller You holler Got you on a dog collar Got change for a dollar I’m the taker you be the faller Mad-ball, I call, the brawl, you sprawl, crawl, cue ball, would stall, stick maul, oh doll, I haul, the small, to the wall, stand tall, 8 ball, free-for-all, came all, to the upstairs hall, man catcall, man now fall All have their pick It started quick Broken stick Beaten sick High kick Face meet brick Reapply lipstick Saboteur laughs all slick Lunatic Cigarette flick And for my final trick I just get a kick Gonna be a brawler A bar crawler Shot caller Off the waller Odd baller The room got smaller You holler Got you on a dog collar Got change for a dollar I’m the taker you be the faller

Am I the one out Never doubt I even shout Blackout Back out Drag out Act out Snap out Of this bout Of I hate being eight And I hate being late when I wait No one sees me straight Odd one cannot equate Why me, I was great Always finished my plate I am sold at a cut rate Laugh so you don’t cut bait I am a cut like a drug I state The record had me down as dead weight Fear me Do you hear me Do not come near me Is this the year we flee I cannot be me Fake my own death, go free This girl has a scratched knee No side took me Play grounded stay bounded Isn’t she Teams of 2 not 3 I am the dichotomy A single black key Plan b that you’ll never see I am a need A new way to bleed If slow motion tried to speed Don’t follow my lead I go where I can reread The black ink on the white I grieve The opposite of me is believe White is naïve I had to ween Light I’ve never seen For a canister of kerosene Count to 15 I am here for routine I will ruin you and laugh back I am inked not painted black You are chain linked; in a stack Don’t you want a soundtrack For the maniac That you have to keep on track Don’t let me fall off from the pack I am not one of you but you do need me back You have your army but it’s me you lack I hear a crack I put the surprise in attack And I’m not in the suicide pact Odd ball, they crawl, brawl, whose call, for it all, your life small, hit a wall, take my fall, protocol You don’t like me well boo You are who High and mighty but what do you do Because I take the cue And say fuck you Yeah you’re nothing new The color blue Pick a number for you debut Just a 2 You and whose army of a few Go be you You don’t know how to You may say odd but is that true When you walk and talk like a blue 2 now, gumshoe Blackout yet my view Is through and through Don’t need to count fingers boo When I already discounted you

Let’s see some hustle kids Bustle fuckwits Little shits Take the risk Swing and a miss I hiss I blow a kiss Just a young miss In your midst Who hits It off before you call it quits I’ll take that shot if the shoe fits Time permits Got you on my shit list I’m the cutest clenched fist Oh he can’t resist Class dismissed Wanna know how far I can bend backwards I’ll show you after Oh I’m no pro but you can play master A lady doesn’t really know the game Oh but all the same Put me to shame Ha. Ha ha. It came Stage name Open flame Who can you blame I frame You like a ball to tame I live in fame Like a gunslinger’s bane Bullets out of gun, one in your brain I restrain You’re a ball on a chain A leash to train I am insane I like throats cut with cocaine I like money and on acid rain Sex wrapped in cellophane I’m fucked let me contain Oh wax to my wane Tracks through the pain I’m a new way into a vein Your blood loss is my gain Give it to me plain A woman knows how to fake it and explain All the way down the lane Wanna know how far I can bend backwards I’ll show you after Oh I’m no pro but you can play master Tell me about the weather stunner I’m a hitter are you a runner Mr. Big gunner I’m a hunter Stunt more like double stunter I’m coming before thunder Boy can wonder You blunder Go under Oh brother Another Lover Never blew my cover I want you to hover Came to push and I’m a shover Out of the blue is my color Sure was a picker upper From the mugger The smugger The hugger Heart string tugger To The eye shutter Put putter Gut clutter Sided bread butter Corner cutter Bitch butler A sucker You’re a run and ducker I’m a motherfucker

Goodest Day 02:32

I think I’ll have a good day today 10 am, up at 2 again Summertime, life’s ok Come whatever may Take me away On the byway near the highway Is my way of going home to stay It’s Wednesday hit replay Shawty with the apple bottom jeans means Baggy sweatpants wardrobe change I don’t think it’s strange She’s just got an outfit range I turn the radio up loud It’s a good day to surf a crowd Float on a cloud It’s a good day to sing To jump off a swing Jump on a box spring Go ahead and jump might as well jump The fuck does he mean Ima lose my nose ring God damn that thing Good day to be the dancing Queen On the edge of seventeen Must a been about seventeen Going on eighteen Send a limousine I got a seventh stream For this week but seems I’m just having dreams In California’s sunbeams I’m getting my fur boots and jeans Let’s bend backwards to miss the law Let’s catapult someone on a seesaw Let’s count to three and draw Let’s both draw a straw And see who’s first to drop their bra I pulled up to the liquor store Skipped to the door Lime juice, ginger beer, score I’m a Vodka whore I am Russian to the core I am Russian to a dance floor I don’t feel sad anymore Today is a good day like I swore Don’t ask me what for I got dressed and what’s more Is that I walked out my fucking door I walked right up to her and smiled Like me she had been a problem child Exiled Maybe old fashioned or out of style But I asked if she wanted to be wild Let’s be together for a while You make my heart sing for miles Let’s bend backwards to miss the law Let’s catapult someone on a seesaw Let’s count to three and draw Let’s both draw a straw And see who’s first to drop their bra

I don’t forgive you cause you’re not sorry Was van Gogh’s night actually starry Was the spark to start me like with a car key so darkly that I could hardly help but to be tardy to my own party We’re at a stalemate or are we Me and whose army I don’t forgive you cause you’re wrong You don’t belong in a song when you run along You fucked me and all I have to say is so long Fare thee fucking well You yawn Used to be bent on But I calmly went on after time spent on was foregone like once upon A time I could rhyme about vengeance but now I’m a punch line and it’s fine because I don’t shine and people don’t take what’s mine Just a warning sign Lie down in the riptide no No longer cried No one cares that you lied No one cares that my hands were tied That a side of me died Besides You can have it cause I have no pride I hope you’re satisfied Assisted suicide I finally let it go to say Doesn’t matter anyway I’ll never see the day Don’t need sorry to walk away Listen up you fucking fuck faces I’m moving on but I’m leaving my traces The torn out pages The story that went off the spine in places I’m taking the key to the cages Like this was painless The street rainless The stainless Steel marks don’t heal I once was never chain-less Am I blameless You are shameless I am nameless But tameless I left famous A heinous Drug greatness Too lateness Faithless For a sadist So what replaces The empty spaces That defaces Time spent in hell of all places You tried to ruin me Continuity Lucency Mutiny Suited me Do you agree Not your cup of tea I fought free I went on a spree TNT Explosion girl counted down from three Nothing to see No guarantee You’re not sorry see Because it’s me Because it’s not your reality I finally let it go to say Doesn’t matter anyway I’ll never see the day Don’t need sorry to walk away

In the basement alone A stone thrown A stone’s throw away From a stone cold someday They’ll never pay What does it take to betray A throne unknown, in the way Set ablaze they say Queen in an ashtray No work all play Where do the lost stay They all lied didn’t they Never the time of day They didn’t want a stray I lived in a black and white array But the indigo sky turned grey What if I went blind I think I had for a time Not a sound mind The whites of my eyes shined But fault lines confined behind I lose what I won’t find Down no beaten path, the line Darkness suits me fine I sit like in a goldmine The opposite of cloud nine Pain scale was derailed and jailed as a 9 Of the 5 stages of grief I was one out of five White hurt my eyes, so defined I never knew sunshine Black suits me fine Just not back and white combined That’s a lot of gray but it don’t matter Don’t matter anyway Let it be said That red Is color wheeled but was in its own instead And I dread It going to my head I pled Should I be dead The color went out as I fled I found a new way to be bled I’m sitting in an empty bathtub Grayscale I cannot snub I cannot scrub Off the lost love The dream I must get rid of When I do not watch myself from above Turn off the old movie I give up Throw up Blow up This shit and don’t show up To tomorrow to sew up Whatever showed up Of me from the dump truck Just what the fuck Did I do for this luck And why am I stuck In maybe sos, I don’t knows, how it goes, not what I chose, nothing grows, I am prose, I am open then close, I am goes to shows, I am who knows where do I goes Where do I go from here, fear, near and dear, nearly a deer, in the headlights dear, drear, they steer, don’t veer, girl gone all clear This was not my best year Or life where I chose to persevere That’s a lot of gray but it don’t matter Don’t matter anyway Where do I go With nothing to show Tooth and nail failed long ago Where’s the sunshine to my rainbow There was never a pot of gold I’m told but as I grow old I know it’s what you owe Nothing to reap from the sow Such is life though And I have not a single duck in a row I have a shadow Taller than redwoods grow On the grey scale I was a I don’t know

I’m an amnesiac Insomniac In a blister pack Knickknack Almanac Picked up slack Sidetrack Pitch black Payback 22 blackjack Counterattack No…come back I crack Don’t make eye contact Forget the way in; the way back The sky was lilac I found the needle in the haystack It was there to distract I’m syntax they redact I was tracked Neither here nor there Nor theres and backs I remember now that I was kidnapped I try to forget the page The cage, offstage, I rage You can see my rib cage The wear of the dog days The memory stays The memory outweighs The blaze Where is the rampage A fall guy never pays When he’s calling all the plays I’m the one that everyone blames I paraphrase Hell will not raise But I fanned the flames The weakest link was in my chains Days gone by I don’t know why I grow old but don’t comply Friends don’t reply Don’t say goodbye Time passes by Like a train that caught my eye What money can’t buy Is an eye for an eye Hope that runs dry A martyr heaves a sigh I want a new battle cry For old times sake Let me think that you eat cake And that I can overtake And make A snake in the grass Break I’m a mistake I wake At 2am, a foot on the brake I rewind the videotape And try to scrape Myself off But cannot escape Old long since I cannot rinse Off the unknown tense Of leaving footprints Chain link fence Their line of defense I brave it in a sense And a trap presents I am a song nobody knows I have words nobody knows I was meaningless to compose I’ll tell you how it goes Forget it all and beware of those Who admire your prose Who throws A rose At all your shows Bulldoze Whatever grows After the music slows And you begin to doze And fall into the pool wearing clothes Make your storybook close Keep your song but transpose Don’t look back for shadows
