06 Expensive Dreams

from #StoriesAboutSongs · host RedefineHipHop

Starts with life experience, the pros and cons Flows in songs convey all the rights and wrongs The night is long especially when the fight is strong Our light is gone, trauma in its brightest form I was warned, but by then I was worn Facing scorn, fabric of reality torn Sound the horn to drown any doubt that’s born Count the score, escape from a time forlorn Scout the field for questions, then fill/feel the form The field I’m on there’s no room to mourn From night to morn, a knight to the oath I’m sworn It’s not the norm, I don’t serve kings or queens With rings and things, focused my own regime To stay clean, cleanse my soul like saline Like sailing, just trying to take in scene This take obscene, but only if you look in-between The rook is team player, or so it seems Things deceive, let’s reprogram the machines Slanderous schemes you think would only work pre-teens But we’ve seen unfolding of sins in streams Tense extremes, focused like the prince of thieves Sense my needs, indeed, then I commence to feed Hence I’m freed to rinse off the blood I bleed Cut me deep and leave me with a pensive theme The ones we don’t follow be the most expensive dreams
