A Ghetto Poem - Red Music & YMI

Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday I ran away to a room here on the bay Interrupted life again, another new beginning Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay Through the darkness I would walk in the streets Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay And looking out to a different sky will disengage me Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade I do not seek and do not intend to find A calmer ocean or a sun that never will rise My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts, and I'll move on and then forget you all over again Moving on, I can forgive you all over again Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's ok And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade

언제부터인지 그대를 보면 운명이라고 느꼈던 걸까 밤하늘의 별이 빛난 것처럼 오랫동안 내 곁에 있어요 그대라는 시가 난 떠오를 때마다 외워두고 싶어 그댈 기억할 수 있게 슬픈 밤이 오면 내가 그대를 지켜줄게 내 마음 들려오나요? 잊지 말아요 지나가는 계절 속에 내 마음은 변하지 않는단걸 아나요 그저 바라보는 눈빛 그 하나로 세상을 다 가진 것 같은데 그대라는 시가 난 떠오를 때마다 외워두고 싶어 그댈 기억할 수 있게 슬픈 밤이 오면 내가 그대를 지켜줄게 내 마음 들려오나요? 잊지 말아요 꽃이 피고 지는 날이 와도 이것 하나만 기억해 줘요 그댈 향한 마음을 언젠가는 우리 멀어질지 몰라도 나는 그대라면 기다릴 수 있을 텐데 시간이 흘러도 내가 이곳에 서 있을게 그대 망설이지 말아요 그때가 오면

You're too far to bring you close And too high to see below Just hanging on your daily dose I know you never needed anyone But the rolling papers for your grass How can you give what you don't have? You keep on aiming for the top And quit before you sweat a drop Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot Start out playing with yourself You get more fun within your shell Nice to meet you, but I gotta go my way I'll leave again cause I've been waiting in vain But you're so in love with yourself If I say "my heart is sore" Sounds like a cheap metaphor So I won't repeat it no more I'd rather eat my soup with a fork Or drive a cab in New York Cause to talk to you is harder work So what's the point of wasting all my words? If it's just the same or even worse Than reading poems to a horse You keep on aiming for the top And quit before you sweat a drop Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot I bet you'll find someone like you Cause there's a foot for every shoe And I wish you luck, but I've other things to do I'll leave again cause I've been waiting in vain But you're so in love with yourself If I say "my heart is sore" Sounds like a cheap metaphor So I won't repeat it no more I'll leave again 'cause I've been waiting in vain If I say "my heart is sore" Sounds like a cheap metaphor I'll leave again cause I've been waiting in vain But you're so in love with yourself If I say "my heart is sore" Sounds like a cheap metaphor So I won't repeat it no more

This ain't no play, no actor I don't really fear, no factor I was eighth grade Making minimum wage Playing mista don't play by Patta Projects and the trapper Prospects plus the lack of Resources made remorse so Police forces don't matter No hitting and running, no batter But I wanna mix yo batter But I can't fix what i really wanna fix So I'll hand a bag of tricks Or rather Cry behind my laughter Pride before disaster Please don't, please don't flatter me Lately I've been feeling like My egos too large for a shrink El niño went far in a blink Used to skate at the rink Way before your ass could drink Way before you had them kinks Way before I had this ink But now my egos too large it won't shrink I've swam too far just to sink I was born on the brink I don't blink I just wink Thank the lord I ain't sleep No more sheep, I'm bo peep Bitch! You think you want me But I'm kamikaze Way too self destructive And you too seductive What am I supposed to do? I've been running running round with you Girl I'm feeling like its deja vu And i know that it might sound taboo My egos too large for a shrink El niño went far in a blink Used to skate at the rink Way before your ass could drink Way before you had them kinks Way before I had this ink But now my egos too large it won't shrink I've swam too far just to sink I was born on the brink I don't blink I just wink Thank the lord I ain't sleep No more sheep, I'm bo peep Bitch!

Now you can see she got good brain So I call her Mojo Jojo You can see I've been through pain So they call me Quasimodo Every day a nigga train Like I live inside the dojo I'm the unexpected hero, shit My nickname should be Frodo Play with me you'll get burned Put your ass in an urn Pressing me you'll get permed Fuck with me you'll eat sperm Heard it's your last term Heard it's my first turn Never been the one for confirmation but I swear it's been confirmed Never go against the firm Leave you out with the ferns Wanted more for returns Want some cheese need to churn Y'all kids need to learn But that ain't my concern Ain't see me like a germ From the dirt like a worm Well what do ya know Was sitting on gold like the El Dorado Santiago Turned a whole brick from the avocados Colorado To Japan shit, 'Arigato' Shit I already got those But I'm stuck in auto Like I won the lotto Cause I'm desperado But what do ya know I was sitting on gold like the El Dorado Santiago Flipped a whole brick from the avocados Colorado To Japan, shit, 'Arigato!' Shit I already got those But I'm stuck in auto Like I won the lotto Cause I'm desperado But what do ya know I was sitting on gold like the El Dorado Santiago Flipped a whole brick from the avocados Colorado To Japan, shit, 'Arigato!' Shit I already got those But I'm stuck in auto Like I won the lotto Cause I'm desperado Yeah I put my name on it Cause they're trying to put their claim on it Got precision when I aim on it Mojo Jojo, got my brain on it Yeah I put my name on it Cause they're trying to put their claim on it Got precision when I aim on it Mojo Jojo, got my brain on it How bout that? Old Ford van to a Cadillac Run it back Ain't no need for a quarterback How bout that? Old Ford van to a Cadillac Run it back Ain't no need for a quarter bag Yeah I put my name on it Cause they're trying to put their claim on it Got precision when I aim on it Mojo Jojo, got my brain on it Yeah I put my name on it Cause they're trying to put their claim on it Got precision when I aim on it Mojo Jojo, got my brain on it
