Lullaby

Ima lull ‘em to sleep,

I write on the paper, what i see is dark shit,
Written infarction,
Verbal darkness,
Potential, spark it,
My failure: applauded,
I’m used to being hunted , they call me “shark bit,”
More like shark week, they prey on the weak - supply scrutiny as opportunity sleeps,
They all scary, not a sound , not a peep,
Dial tone obsolete at the sound of the beep,

Behind closed doors they talk that talk until they hear the lullaby, yeah right, boy silent night,
Put up a fight before you join the crowd of mfs who threaten me thinking that it’s right,
Behind on bills, no time for the thrills, I’d imagine you’re also sympathetic to that plight,
Future? Not bright, no blinding light, ima lull ‘em to sleep, so hear my lullaby,

They say my pen was slick but it’s never been sharper,
Crisp like the f’ing temp fade from a barber,
Ships ain’t the only thing sitting in the harbor,
I harbor ill-will for the poor excuse of a father,
Don’t call me a martyr,
If you’re not the fam, i swear i couldn’t give less of a damn,
If you knew who i am, you wouldn’t offer a gram because drugs don’t contribute to the pen in my hand,

I saw my mom get beat so i beat on beats instead hustling with dice in the mf street,
I look at stormy waters, my pleasure to greet this outward manifestation of the pests that eat,
Crush skeletons in my closet, mosh shit like mosh pits , undivided deposit,
More like withdrawal,
Detached & deterred, more a man of action, im a man of less words,

& ima lull ‘em to sleep,

Tip-toeing, I’m growing, through stacks of cash: I’m blowing, like a Leapfrog screen I’m education loading, soothe my seizures with phenytoin, you’re not even rapper you’re just a wannabe show-in, I’m showing, an affinity to do this to infinity, setup, metaphor, punchline, the holy trinity, mention me,
Bars to hard to stay locked in the jar of my mind, this pen would take me far,

Behind closed doors they talk that talk until they hear the lullaby, yeah right, boy silent night,
Put up a fight before you join the crowd of mfs who threaten me thinking that it’s right,
Behind on bills, no time for the thrills, I’d imagine you’re also sympathetic to that plight,
Future? Not bright, no blinding light, ima lull ‘em to sleep, so hear my lullaby,

Play my music? y’all never choose it, i actually discuss more than a street shooting,
I actually have talent unlike the one hit wonders who wonder if they’ll be an absolute plunder,
I’m under,
Influence but not due to drugs but to ignorance that y’all sweep under the rug,
Damn, shoulder shrug,
Y’all got a poisonous touch,
Ima lull ‘em to sleep, stg I’m done,

I saw my mom get beat so i beat on beats instead hustling with dice in the mf street,
I look at stormy waters, my pleasure to greet this outward manifestation of the pests that eat,
Crush skeletons in my closet, mosh shit like mosh pits , undivided deposit,
More like withdrawal,
Detached & deterred, more a man of action, im a man of less words,

& ima lull ‘em to sleep
