Upon a Star

Yeah,

Hook:
Alive but dead, fed up with negative,
What happened to God’s creations being heaven-sent?
Extending my reach, but what i grab is nonexistent,
It’s a fool’s errand to turn a dream into fruition,
To see the completion of the mission,
A father & a life are all that i’m missing,
Convincing,
That alone is a burden in itself,
Communicating with what ifs & where fors like Santa’s elves,
Looking to the stars, maybe a wish will take me far, rising to the occasion, because i have a highly set bar,
They say time heals all, then why do i have all these scars?
They say forgive & forget, then why do i still have memoirs?
Shit don’t add up, i swear this life ain’t right,
A product of all humanity’s unrelenting spite,
I can speak to the masses with this god-given gift,
Hopefully he’s up there listening to fulfill my wish

Verse:
Twinkle twinkle, ageless expressions deprived of all wrinkles,
Looking to the heavens to right my every wrong issue,
Debating what life is, because it shouldn’t have this many tissues,
Is it weak of me to embrace the fact that i really do miss you,
It is what it is, you get what you give,
I don’t renounce my hopes & dreams, i stand my ground & commit,
I admit, i may not have the talent to make it with rapping, but the purity of my resolve 100% surely isn’t lacking,

Keeping tabs on my progress like it’s an order I’m tracking,
Pulling out my dreads, now I’m nerve-wracking,
Double-checking my success, now I’m double-backing,
Not seeking revenge but that damn sure is what I’ve been exacting,
Protracting,
Bending back for those who don’t sympathize,
I guess greed & contradiction isn’t equally despised,
I surmised that i would walk alone in this life, so the prospect of me doing that grants me little surprise,

Verse:
Riches & wealth, deposit in banks not in shelves,
I’ve been dreaming about tasks that i have yet to delve,
Equalizing my debts, feeling like I’m Denzel,
Quote on quote “fell in love again,” got me under a spell,
I fell, but who could tell, I’ve never been helped to my feet,
They observe your shortcomings but rather make a retreat,
I tend to hold my tongue because they don’t listen when i speak,
Salt & sugar look the same, so what about compassion & greed?

Listen to me plead,
Brought down begging on my knees,
Why can’t i have reassurance, i need something concrete,
How can i draw breath but aspirate simultaneously,
How can i receive a component if the pieces weren’t made for me,
Stunted growth, a rotten branch of a maple tree,
Shackles removed, from bondage - set me free,
A life full of happiness & without envy,
That outcome is up to the all-knowing entity,
