Perseverance

They criticize me for flipping out like Simone Biles
For going the distance, going the long miles
Y’all mistake my halo for a gold crown
Y’all mistake a Micheal Jackson laugh for my pronoun
He-He, yea they stutter cause I’m twice the man
That they pretend to be, I curve the energy just like the letter C
You fashion clothes, but I fashion a better me
My drip is a frequency
That’s higher than white supremacy
Taking a space flight to the moon
It’s witchcraft how I’m fly as a witch’s broom
As I’m making room to improve
Don’t ever call me a coon without the C-O in front of it
A fool is easy to spot by how they ridicule
Anything impossible, my hustle makes a difference
For instance, a river cuts through rock by its persistence
Just how the king flow, adaptable, like a stream
I’m the softest thing overcoming the hardest things
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
Every W is different, some come in the form of a weapon
The best L I’m taking is in the form of a lesson
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
Every W is different, some come in the form of a weapon
The best L I’m taking is in the form of a lesson
You cant see the god, your eyes aren’t wide enough
I molested silence with the Midas touch
That is why my silence is golden
A volcano lives under my nose for me to put my gold in
To meltdown just like a Karen
A modern-day pharaoh is how I’m a pairing
Like a Bluetooth, just to introduce you
To my voodoo that gets you higher than the Iron Man suit do
When I give a tip, it’s the spear from a Zulu
Warrior, I'll make a point, and send it through you
Sickness is one way that death will seduce you
If real recognize real, they can never confuse you
Power drill for a middle finger, saying screw you
Third eye is the Oculus for me to view through
Good times, they are never too few
Your only Ford Tough, I’m Built like the Pyramid of Khufu
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
Every W is different, some come in the form of a weapon
The best L to take is in the form of a lesson
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
Every W is different, some come in the form of a weapon
The best L to take is in the form of a lesson
When immaculate conception meets immaculate deception
It’s not about perfection, but it’s all about progression
Black man going through hell but I kept going
They tried to belittle me but I kept growing
Became a fan of my self so I kept blowing
Kept cool swimming in lava, I’m the best showman
Stood in the desert, then I sweat oceans
That designed my oasis
My center of greatness
Today is yesterday’s preparation
My elevation won’t stop, no matter how slow the pace is
Like a cosmic hospital, I have infinite patience
I broke a marathon down into several races
Like Johann Blumenbach
I persevere at the bottom but I’m humble at the top
My success is not an accident, I’m just scratching the surface
I’m a Hangman when I’m executing the purpose
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
Every W is different, some come in the form of a weapon
The best L to take is in the form of a lesson
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
They say the end is near, but I will persevere
Every W is different, some come in the form of a weapon
The best L to take is in the form of a lesson

Exhibit X
03:05
|
|||
I’m Bishop from the X-Men, riding in a Tesla X
Middle finger at Exxon, treat them like excrement
Wisdom is always under examination
My example is exempt from exaggeration
Every movement expected to be exact
And much deeper than the meaning you extract
From it, this is a lyrical exhibition
Where the spirit in my words gets released like an exorcism
Experience the existential with an extra-sized
Lexicon, excellence is what I exercise
I’m on point like an exclamation
You come with excuses, I come with an explanation
Of my extraordinary expressions
Making rich dialogue, every word is expensive
Don’t let it go to your head like an Excedrin
When I expire, my breath of life will be extended
As I exhale, you can’t cross my eyes
No x’s in them, cause I’m still alive
Signature flow, the beat is where the X is
But this is not a song for the exes
Life is like a box, some hate it so they check it
For me, it’s all love til the day that I exit
Signature flow, the beat is where the X is
But this is not a song for the exes
Life is like a box, some hate it so they check it
For me, it’s all love til the day that I exit
The world, but I will still exist
I’m in this life long, at least to an extent
My life is an ongoing exam
Each time I pass, my soul body expands
Like an explosive
Fruitful when I multiply like exponents
Forbidden knowledge deserves exposure
Free slaves are the equivalent to ex-convicts
And that’s why freedom seems to be exotic
Like triple X sex with a moaner
I got X-Ray vision, I only see her when I bone her
My dick is Excalibur: Hard to pull out
Put so many kids in her mouth, it’s like a full house
I judge a book by its excerpts
You judge by the exterior so that makes me the expert
Jay Electronica gave you Exhibit C
Here’s Exhibit X and it’s exemplary
Signature flow, the beat is where the X is
But this is not a song for the exes
Life is like a box, some hate it so they check it
For me, it’s all love til the day that I exit
Signature flow, the beat is where the X is
But this is not a song for the exes
Life is like a box, some hate it so they check it
For me, it’s all love til the day that I exit

Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Took a step, then another step
Then another step, with another breath
Beating out my chest, took a hard right
But the soft left was a tougher step
Got a million left
To the finish line, with a new life, I’ma finish death
Lemme pump fast
Lemme jump past like me and me and me
Beating time
Like it did the crime, didn’t do itself
Didn’t do the time
Shitting on the clock: doo-doo time
Like do once, do again, one go
Therefore double time
Too fast, whiplashed by a
Speed test just passed
Obstructions, on the road, instructions
Introductions, interruptions
Beat the times, beat the time
So much that it became percussion
Then a metronome to my life symphony
Off the beaten path, on a higher road
Put that on my Sol, light energy
Dark energy: what a cool force
Gotta refuel for the full course
That’s ahead of me
Only one race and my skin tone is eternity
Gotta run fast, no I Must-Dash, Ron Burgundy
So I step-step, till each step is a two-step
Then reduce breath to a few breaths
So it’s easy, even though it’s not, but it’s breezy
Cutting through the air like a butter knife
'Cause the life smooth like butter, right?
And I talk smooth like it, but I write
Much better, but that’s neither here nor there
Unlike me, 'cause I’m going here to there
'Til you hear me there from here
That’s an echo from years
Ago, where I didn’t stop, didn’t break
Anything but the sound barrier, my bad, my mistake
I’ll replace that later on
Mach 1, but I mock none
Cause I’m too wise and I’m not dumb
And I’m not done with the next step
But I’m on one
The next one is an up-step, I be upset
At the wrong one
Gotta elevate
You gotta Escalade, I gotta escalate
Go, go, go levitate
Go, go, go, I escape
To the stratosphere, ionosphere, the air thins
I’m preparing for the air lift into orbit
I'm scared just for a moment
Footprints in the clouds
Looking like footprints in the snow
But the pathway is a high way wonder if anyone will know
That I w.u.z here
Like an Ocean view, I Sea/See Clear
Destination: unknown
But I’m almost home
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin'
Loving on my Gina
Solid moves like Tommy
With a Pam beast inside me
Born in hell but I made it heaven
The world might be ugly
But the prettiest women always come and find and cosign me
Call it luck, I'll roll a seven, and another seven
And another seven, and a hard eleven
And another seven, you dumb as hell if you don't get the message
V.I.P., lemme get ta reppin'
If we ever party, it's a different section
We the plug like the circuit breakers
Fool these nighas but they caught it late like April 2nd
We emerge like a hard lesson
That hit you right in the solar plexus
Pause, deep breath, now reset
Naw this ain't no recess
Poetry cut like a C-Sect
I wanna live slow with a quick death
Exhale, reset, oh yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta stretchin'
Old Otis don't play that shit
I ain't Dragonfly, don't say that shit
I'm from the Himalayas where they made that pimp
Learn love and apply that tip
People gonna try to offend you
But it's a choice to go and live by the myths
Confidence, you should try it quick
Before fear enters your mind and reclaims its bitch
Run and tell that shit
Lip makes them slip, but I don't trip
I run, I skip, I jump, I flip
I move, I shift, aligned with gifts
That all uplift
I'm Martin's dream, I'm Malcolm's wish
I'm Harriet mixed with Frederick
I rebel strength, I revel in
Thoughts that bend this 3D world with Aquarius
Tell the truth, I'm the Darius
I'm outer space these Stars don't wanna war with Anakin
I Darth a hater, Bad Boy
Good guys finish later
Dropping on your topless like a hot potato
Poets cool, I am greater, God's the greatest
Rest in peace to Ruthie Abrams
Know you proud your grandson made it, yea, yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin'
Oh, nah
Martin Payne, lemme get ta flexin'
Yea, yea
I feel Martin's pain so I know I'm destined
I'm Martin Payne how I catch a blessing
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin'
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Yea-yea
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’
Martin Payne, lemme get ta steppin’

If you’re tuning in, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning out, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning in, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning out, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
I was one, now I’m splitting me in two
Two is my name, but it’s really short for Du All/dual
Through mitosis, I was divided into lower
And higher frequencies, so I became bipolar God split an atom and named it Eve
The Greek Numeral represents me as a B
The Roman Numeral is a picture of I
Getting beside myself, so ahead of my time
A Double Date is a Two-Day vacay
On a Tuesday, which is To-Day
Man, you already know - Touché
I’m too real, like a cavity they toothache
That’s duality, I’m too Black, hair is too curly
I double-time, so I’m too early
Yea, if you’re too live put your twos up
Been saying two so long, you think it’s too much
If you’re tuning in, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning out, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning in, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning out, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
I’m giving a parallels/pair of Ls, a lecture, and a lesson
A race against time won first in one second
Two, the first number to be separate
From the one, here and there were the first directions
Manifest a diagram in this third dimension
With a million dichotomies yet to be dissected
By my sharp mind, meditation in my fly zone
Forever young, I won’t die old/diode
Like semiconductors
Split personality, as I look in the mirror
So I’m a pair, my object is closer than I appear
Two versions of myself: that’s a diversion
One shadow, one light, they are divergent
In my dialogue my dialect is diametric
Kiss of death is sweet, but I am diabetic
My diaphragm is a pencil, it draws breath
So many ways to di/die but I ain’t talking bout death
If you’re tuning in, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning out, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning in, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up
If you’re tuning out, throw your twos up
Throw your twos up, throw your twos up

Moon Child
Instru: Reminder by Bvtman
Mind like an Ax when
I cut the bullshit with a question, ‘cause I’m sharp enough to ax/ask em
I’m walking axiom, self-evident
The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is my melanin
Dark skin, light body, not a shadow of doubt
They think negative like their overdrafted accounts
I’m optimistic by a massive amount
Just to balance it out
Hustle hard but you gotta be intelligent too
Nighas buy attention, then resell it to you
They buy into bullshit and retail/retell it to you
Don’t ever let nigha tell your story better than you
And don’t misquote my shit
I mean whatever floats your boat, but I’m all about ownership
Owning up to your what’s on your mind
Owning real estate is great but not many can own their time
Believe what you wanna
The moon affects tides and oceans
Meanwhile we’re 70% water
I’ll give you a word, and make you look it up
I’m a living word, too many people wanna book me up
They’re getting booked for drugs
I took drugs in the form of books
Destiny called and like a silent tambourine, I wasn’t shook enough
To let it ring, uh, there’s no debating with that
Been in the prison of my doubts, so I’ve been waiting on that
Call to purpose, do you have the patience for that?
Won’t say it louder for the ones in the back
Just catch my echo when I leave here
Hope no one suffered so I can be here
Running out of time but it’s faster when I leap years
Silver Surfer tendencies, I wanna be clear
When I say Who Raw it’s not a Marine’s Cheer
I’m asking who’s authentic beside me here
Of course, everything that glitters ain’t gold
And everything that’s gold ain’t worth your health
Especially when you're old
Enough to realize the true value of family
And your sanity, yea
I’m gonna live long enough to give the world the florals
That it deserves, a gentleman never quarrels
I’m protected by weapons, even more by my morals
My higher mind sees the paranormal as normal
I dumb it down to be cordial
Address me as your eminence if we’re gonna be formal
What’s a lifetime when you know you’re immortal?
My love is supernatural, all that hating is abnormal
Just cause your winning, doesn’t mean that I’m losing
I’m a real man, I never needed to prove it
I became the storm right after I lived through it
Realigned my movements beyond where the moon is

Sweet voice, like cake, icing
Like stars, I shine, I blink
Eye pain, eye red, eye bleed
Cold heart, cold shoulder, Icy
Heart eyes, look around, I love
Like eyelids closed, I hug
Teardrops ain’t nothing but eye cum
Fight like Cyclops, I Won
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
Eyes connected to everything
And that’s why I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
Eyes connected to everything
It's obscene what I've seen, out of sight
No I's on my team
I don't fall back, I forward slash when I lean
When I drop the whole scene's Visine
Got the juice, I sit low and high see
Oversee the whole C, my I.D.
I'm armed, lending no arms to I.Vs
I seek, I find, oh, I see
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
Eyes connected to everything
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
Eyes connected to everything
Visine, eye drop, I rise
Naysayers got hate in their eyes
Optometrist, I am, cause eye check em
Dissect them, LASIK, I correct them
A symbol lies, means that iCon
Big mouth, no words, I yawn/ion
Like protons, neutrons, high vibe
Windows to the soul get broken, blind eye
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
Eyes connected to everything
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
Eyes connected to everything
Eye jump, I thump, then I fight
No vision, I state then I cite
Contacts, left those in hindsight
I teach, I keep pupils in my sight
Behind shades, right there, I stand
I thought, therefore, I am
What I see is all that I know
Windows to the soul, now blinds closed
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything
I’m in everything
All eyes on me
All eyes on everything
That means everything

The Black Magi

Chakra crystals on my wrist
I’m in tune with the vibrations
May the ancestors sip of these libations
I don’t chase, I attract
I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
I don’t chase, I attract
I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
Like diabetes, I am not the type 2
Give my life to
People that’s quite rude or wanna spite you
Keep a bird’s eye view on those claiming you’re taxable just to write you
Off, I’m taking shots, don’t pardon my aim
Your heart attacks, my heart beats, our hearts ain’t the same
Remember, I don’t chase, I attract
I told you, I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
Sometimes it’s friends, sometimes it’s kinfolk
Sometimes proving you’re the best is an insult
Save your energy for what you deserve
Don’t be afraid to take an L if it’s something to learn
See, it’s not good vibes only, it's good vibes mostly
Those good times know me
I don’t chase, I attract
I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
I don’t chase, I attract
I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
Mimosas in the AM, swimming in the PM
Phone stay dry but the queens flood the DMs
Bulletproof vest on they all wanna wet me up
Trying to Color Me Bad, they wanna sex me up
Because the king got a body like a Maserati
Mahogany paint job, but this is not a Uber party
iPhone is Nagasaki, blowing up with clients
Money talking too much, need a moment of silence
I’m an ice cube with the cool drip
Got new kicks for the movements
I’m summer in the flesh, I’m the smoothest
Snacking on edible, but high off the music
I resurrect dead presidents till they clone themselves
How you know the ledge before you know yourself?
Why follow the followers trying to go to hell?
Just cause you don’t wanna be alone, oh well
I don’t chase, I attract, whoa
I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
I don’t chase, I attract, whoa
I resolve what I lack
I go the distance and I keep my social distance
From people seeing my growth as the competition
Chakra crystals on my wrist
I’m in tune with the vibrations
May the ancestors sip of these libations
Sincerely, the Black Magi

Sometimes
03:10
|

Sometimes Black men will cry
Sometimes what is on my mind
Is how racism is alive
And it makes me really wanna die
Sometimes, I can hate the mirror but I always love myself
Sometimes the ones who don’t support me
Can’t even support themselves
But I try
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes I don’t wanna be here
Sometimes I don’t wanna be there
Sometimes life is too much
Sometimes I really don’t care
Sometimes I don’t wanna be noticed
Sometimes I don’t wanna be seen
Sometimes I don’t wanna be woke
Sometimes I forget how to dream
Still I rise
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes I’m really too humble
But too proud to ask for help
Sometimes I can do for everyone
What I can’t do for myself
Sometimes, I don’t wanna be honest
I don’t wanna be bothered
Sometimes, I can be a good neighbor
I think I’m a bad father
Sometimes, I don’t want your opinion
I don’t need your advice
Sometimes, I will say that I’m wrong
Just so you can feel right
Sometimes, a mistake can become
The best decision you make
And when you go out on a limb for them
To save yourself, you gotta amputate
Sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes I don’t want to do
The things that I want to do
So everybody else won’t know
What I want to do, sometimes they
Bring you down, cause they look up to you
Sometimes the things I want the most
I’m least prepared to have
Sometimes when I wing it like an angel
I believe that God did not have that plan
In mind, still I pray
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes, I feel so alone, when I’m with someone else
Sometimes, I feel my best, when I’m all by myself
Sometimes I need some time
But time doesn’t heal all wounds
Sometimes we gotta lie
So we can know what’s true
Am I right? Well
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Fly On
04:55
|
|||
In all of this beautiful mess, we move like we knew we were blessed
Renewed and refreshed
Like a butterfly from a cocoon
We die in one life and move to next
Fighting for love?
Like a Lumberjack, I am Fighting Forest
Feel the light where your core is
Then sound off with the chorus
For this moment, I’m your florist
Giving you flowers, from the bottom
Of my heart where the ocean floor is
My ancestors found freedom there
Through this music, I will bring them here
They were great way before us
So we gotta push it forward
To the sky, and I’m soaring
That's how it goes when you give me the green light
For this serene life
Confidence so loud
Why they saying “turn it down”?
Along with every opportunity for my feet to ever leave the ground
So I let bygones be gone
Like me as I fly on
I fly on
I fell down and I got back on my feet
So I can fly on
Yea, you know I wear my heart on my wings
I fly on til I’m gone
From the dusk 'til the dawn
I fly on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Funky how these evil people do
Treating you, like you’re a god
Say your name in vain
At the same time, they don’t believe in you
Conceited eyes never see the truth
Typically I’m not a selfish dude
People will use you for their benefit
Then pretend that they helping you
The haters get salty 'cause a brotha got flavor
And the substance
Like a sideways V, I determine what’s greater
My words sound better in person
Looking better on paper
Bless more, curse less
Find your purpose
Nighas speak so deep
Well, only on the surface
They the type to embarrass us
Mixing the ignorance with the arrogance
The devil tried to purchase my soul
But I don’t negotiate with terrorists
The key to freedom is awareness
And I love God for preparing us
I fly on
I fell down and I got back on my feet
So I can fly on
Yea, you know I wear my heart on my wings
I fly on til I’m gone
From the dusk 'til the dawn
I fly on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on
I’ll save your savior some time from saving you from your whims
Just to make you responsible
Responsible for your sins
With a mind so bright
I save daylight in midnight
In mid-flight, as I astral project
To another place, different time, in a space with the divine
Mover, long-range like a sharpshooter with a Ruger
Impossible feats that’s hard to complete
You see my ugly, my beauty, my heaven, my hell
My yin, my yang, but do you see it in yourself?
The universe is my snitch, in due time it tells
The truth, life is a school, the cost of living is death
I pay my own dues, what about you?
Feet planted in a room where I grew
And I took off my shoes, opened up the wings
Head to the moon, it’s my time
Both hands up just like noon
I fly on
I fell down and I got back on my feet
So I can fly on
Yea, you know I wear my heart on my wings
I fly on til I’m gone
From the dusk 'til the dawn
I fly on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on

I Knew You
03:28
|
|||
I knew you
I knew you
I thought that I knew you
I thought I knew the truth
When I met you
I thought that I knew peace
Guess I knew a ruse
I thought I knew the rules
I am such a fool
Pride killing the vibe
You’re not your true self
Rather suffer alone
Than ask for some help
Falsely I assume
I’m under a spell
I knew you
I knew you
I thought that I knew you
I thought that I knew you
It’s common sense to analyze your inner circle
But you’re in a box, you ain’t in a circle
Home is where the heart is, you’re facing an eviction
You’re used to sleeping with strangers
And nothing’s stranger than fiction
You’re causing all of this friction
Life is a mother, you usually rub her
The wrong way, I mean you used to love her
You’re not learning
That some respect is not worth earning
I see your fire is bright, but it’s not burning
And like a voice dial, you’re really out of touch
Self-esteem as high as your funds
That’s not saying much
Just 'cause you knew better
Doesn’t mean you choose better
Assumed if you knew the cost
You’d pay your dues better
Doors closing, there’s no room for building
High hopes that’s not used to a ceiling
I forgive you for the times that you’ve given up
And the high standards you set, but didn’t live ‘em up
You say you love me, but only when it’s convenient
I say love you, but you don’t think that I mean it
So many secrets
Was I ignorant or was I naïve?
You know I tend to hear what I already believe
I’m asking that you explain who you be
But that’s like describing a color you’ve never seen
All your life you were taught you were only human
That’s nothing more than the sum of his own excuses
I say I know who you are, I just wish it were true
Old ways, new days like this but who knew
I would know by now there wasn’t a new you
And you is just me who I thought I knew
|

Nerdy, chill, and shy, Virgo is your sign
33 years old, looking like 20-fine
Easy to please, you’re such a rare find
I just wanna make you mine
Make you my sun goddess
I’ll be your midnight
Will you be my sun goddess
And I’ll be your midnight
Your midnight, uh huh
Rumor has it, your ex was a peasant
I’m aiming to be your excellent-cy
Your exception
You remind me of my ex-wife
Correction: you remind me of my next wife
Slim thick, caramel melanin
Quirky and intelligent
For you, I yearn/iron like the natural element
And I’m in that
I’m a single man, that’s a single sentence
I hope that you can end that
Tied down is where I wanna be, I’m hoping you’re Knot/not
Hope my compliment finds you well when you open your inbox
These are thoughts I have before I send a DM
You are the daylight, I’m practicing carpe diem
Don’t wanna control you
Not even remotely, only console you
The gamer type, we play alike
We’re so alike
Communication is Key, hope you’re the Pro-to-Type
Back, don’t wanna box you in
Like these comments
Just being honest
Nerdy, chill, and shy, Virgo is your sign
33 years old, looking like 20-fine
Easy to please, you’re such a rare find
I just wanna make you mine
Make you my sun goddess
I’ll be your midnight
Will you be my sun goddess?
And I’ll be your midnight
Your midnight, uh huh
Tell me bout your dreams and that feeling behind them
Tell me bout your haters so we can remind them
That love is the only law, who are we without it
Been wearing masks before the COVID, can we breathe without it?
After 4 months of texts and video chats
I saved enough confidence to visit at last
Desiring to dip and delve in your pink dungeon
Dig out your deepest secretions
I mean secrets
I mean we can do what you wanna
Ménage trios wiith Mary Juana
I hit it 4 times, you hit it like 6
It was 6pm
I’m ready to feed you a large meal of my own
We have Italian instead, so we’re hitting the road
You ramble for 40 minutes about injustice and crime
As I get lost inside those cocoa-studded eyes
A buffet of smiles being served
Can’t get enough of yours
If I keep this up I’ll be obese
With happiness for sure
Nerdy, chill, and shy, Virgo is your sign
33 years old, looking like 20-fine
Easy to please, you’re such a rare find
I just wanna make you mine
Make you my sun goddess
I’ll be your midnight
Will you be my sun goddess
And I’ll be your midnight
Your midnight, uh huh

Shopping for snacks for our hotel retreat
Your physique is a treat that’s simple and sweet
I couldn’t tell if you’re being discreet
Or short on words like the simplest tweet
Our conversation is deep as the dimples in your cheeks
My body’s shredded like mozzarella, my jokes are cheesy
I wanna walk the talk, keep it going, keep it easy
Look for something on tv, Big Bang Theory
You say I remind of you Leonard, I guess I’m clearly, seri
Ous and nerdy, that’s a compliment
I rock with it like paper, scissors
I wanna cut but not really, I’m indecisive, it’s silly
I’m attending/a tendon to the matter like the heel of Achilles
Getting comfortable by the hour
And the hour is you
I’m the clock that wants my hands on every minute of you
But every second is wet, I feel you slipping away
Then you decided to stay, I’m just glad that you saved
Enough light
To spend the night
I just want to be the space where you’re feeling the safest
Won’t come off as invasive like demanding where the safe is
The vibe is platonic, but I’m half-naked
Adjacent to the first queen I’ve ever played with
In a game of chess, in this game of love, I don’t play with
Hearts, my feelings, I’m guardin'/garden like a plantation
‘Cause sometimes I’m just a slave to them
Would liberate them only if you could relate to them
We show each other memes, lamping in the bed
Itching to be close, but I scratch my head instead
I massage your back, gotta keep it cool
Knowing damn well I was getting in the mood
“Your pressure is so good, it’s making me sleepy”
That’s what you say as I’m massaging your back more deeply
As time gets closer to midnight, so are you
‘Cause I’m you’re midnight chocolate
And you are my sun goddess
As I’m laying in the same bed with you
I wonder if your kitty always stays wet like the sea floor
You’re the conclusion that I wish I can reach for
Little Shop of Horrors, I wish that I can see more/Seymour
Of your contours, the way you move is a detour
Shy girl persona with a caramel decor
Lick you till your shyness comes out of hiding
The mood is a candlestick that I wanna lighten
I wanna meet you where the light ends
Where the mystery of our life is
You’re a whole word and I’m whole word
It would be nice if we could connect like a hyphen
It’s all about the timing
Deciding to make move in the morning
If ain’t do it by now, I may not do it Biden
Like Joe, love isn’t blind, it’s clairvoyant and psychic
And I can still see your light skin through my eyelids

You can call me master
Master of my fate
You can call me master
Master of my fate
Who will you call?
Before it’s too late
I will call my master
Master of my fate
Life is a revolving door, sometimes, we have no handle
On it, but everything will be fine as Tisha Campbell
In the 90s, the pages of a book is where you’ll find me
The watchmaker, your attention span is so timely
A contract for eternal life, you can sign me
Up, in these clone wars, the way to win/twin is Siamese
I be in deep water, luckily I have high knees
Became the Skywalker everybody thinks so highly
Of, and I never been afraid of solitude
No need to complain if they don’t wanna rock with you
The only validation I need is of my own
Stars shine together but the sun shines alone
You can call me master
Master of my fate
You can call me master
Master of my fate
Who will you call?
Before it’s too late
I will call my master
Master of my fate
Whatever you believe you give it value
Truth don’t entertain, it doesn’t exist to wow you
Netflix to distract you from your afflictions
Claim to see God while hiding behind religion
Misquoting scripture to support your bad decisions
It’s not enough to have good faith but lack precision
Won’t take advice, too cheap to pay attention
They can take your money but they can’t take your wisdom
Glass is half empty, but drink it like it’s the fullest
The type fall then bounce back like a rubber bullet
And run into a clock 'til I ran out of time
Living in my heart which stands out my mind
You can call me master
Master of my fate
You can call me master
Master of my fate
Who will you call?
Before it’s too late
I will call my master
Master of my fate
Rather master my mind cause I don’t know how to gamble
Rather be silent cause I don’t know how to ramble
Why lead with your words when you can lead by example?
The intelligence I show off will never get canceled
I’m on a higher plane
It’s Mach 3 when the heir/air travels
Top to bottom, from my crown to the sacral
Chakra, flow so heavy, make a gallon follow the liter
Your faith don’t mean shit if God don’t believe you
Do Re Fa So La Ti Do
I’m saying mind your business don’t worry bout Me
Yo, pray for the miseducated negroes
And manifest quietly, you never heard a tree grow
You can call me master
Master of my fate
You can call me master
Master of my fate
Who will you call?
Before it’s too late
I will call my master
Master of my fate
What will you call on?
Who will you be?
Before you pass on
Who will you be?
