Heart to Heart

I’m calling attention,
To those counting their blessings,
To the single mother stressing ,
To the school kids who don’t know the lesson so they resort to second guessing,
I’m questioning,
Is society damaged beyond repair,
Why does it take the almighty to rectify despair,
Lord are you there,
Are you seeing these transgressions,
Are you hearing my confessions,
I don’t want to waste your time but can we talk about reflections,
These imperfections,
Things in need of corrections,
…
Okay okay,
I’ll stop,
I know you’re busy & you created us to put up with a lot,
Or not?
Why do people do wrong,
Why is there so much pain portrayed by these artists as they make these songs,
Are we too far gone,
Are we at the threshold of the great beyond,
I swear people are thongs,
Like is there something up ya ass,
So much convincing just to let the nonsense come to pass,
Need a helping hand to grab,
A hay-filled scarecrow for you to f’ing stab,
Or a nameless tomb to engrave your name on the slab,
Don’t brag,
Conceit is just a poisoned good,
A feeling to make you feel more so than you should,
More so than you could,
& not even that you would,
You better knock on wood,
If i were a street rat, I’d say I made it out the hood,
Why am I misunderstood,
…
Who knows, who knows,
I’m told with age, maturity grows,
But nowadays, it seems maturity goes,
In the opposite direction,
Due to y’all’s ignorance we all must repent,
I guess the way that I’m feeling is irrelevant,
Despite the fact that it’s for the betterment,
Yeah,
…
Just let me collect my thoughts,
Let me right these wrongs,
Let me tug at your heart,
Strings & things to go back & forth as the background sings,
I look at my mama & see how much joy her children brings,
So surreal,
I try not to conceal the way I’m feeling because that becomes a scar that is impossible to heal,
Is this the real deal?
Interview with the police, so you mean you squealed,
…
Ain’t this some shit here,
You said you were down, so now I guess you’re up there,
On that plateau,
On that pedestal thinking you’re above death row,
I mean I guess so,
Whatever floats your boat,
In crunch time, don’t choke,
I’d follow that advice is that weren’t a f’ing joke,
When have you known me to miss an opportunity,
To the BS i have complete immunity,
I love to see unity,
It loves to see me,
You can’t refrain a sound man because his third eye sees,
To all degrees,
Grant me a reprieve,
Can I have some peace,
Give me release,
…
Yeah,
…
Only so much I can take,
A shattered household, I’m sure several thousands can relate,
Or hate,
The fact that our lives are complete shit,
Looking to the heavens to ask “why is it like this?”
What happened to bliss,
What happened to Chris,
He’s in another country, god bless him & his eyebrow slit,
…
Get back on track,
I’ve seen deers with more attention span, so how about that,
You ever needed help but instead made a full retreat,
I watched my mom get beat so now I beat on beats,
I watched my sister cry to sleep, so now i say words deep,
Damn
…
What a life this is,
Like companion, it went from the pos to the negative,
I have so much to give,
Yet so little to gain,
Squeaky clean attracts people to want to leave a stain,
Wanna blow out your brains,
Make you pull out your hair,
Make you look at remains,
I stay on top of my shit, because it sure ain’t above me,
I don’t need a whole lot, but Bela is great company,
…
Yeah
…
Closing remarks,
Did you even grasp the premise from the very start,
Are you a tag along?
Are you the smoke to my bong,
Just wasted,
Expelled like hot air,
You’re wavering no wonder you don’t even f’ing care,
No surprise you weren’t there,
No surprise there were stares,
No surprise you’re taking pictures so that you can compare,
Can we all just be cordial?
Can we all just make peace and discuss being mortal?
I guess it’s too much to class,
So high in the clouds, they smoking too much grass,
Damn,
Little blessings, maybe one day there will be kids, I’ll be adjusting their bibs, babysitting with sibs,
I ain’t mad because my mama can live,
Little to gain yet the whole world to give,
I’m gone,
Yeah
