A Day In My Life

Let me put forth a narrative of a person in sight

He wakes up one morning and sees the sunshine bright

So he etches out a rhyme and works endless nights

To put forth his work to people, ain't that right?

As he thought that he was just blazing tracks

On the contrary, though, they see its wack

Even if knowing the motive just wasn't worth it

Yet he was defamed, did he deserve it?

There were some days when I didn't wanna write

Cause of all these people hating just day and night

Behind their desks on the keyboards to pray I fall

Maybe I set the bar too high, but I'm not that tall.

You call it disrespect, I call it envy

That's why I walk around like nothing offend me

Cause my mind's my armour but my rhyme's my sentry

Thoughts are dark but heartbeats are empty.

I don't mean to be mean but that's all I am

I'm cursed to just curse cause that's all I can

I'm immersed in my world, and that's all right, man

And when worse comes to worst, that's all fight, damn.

In this world of executioners and adjudicators

Cancelling people for their stances, they're posing rejuvenators

Revitalizing society, but they're nothing but fumigators

And if they are just rats, then I am the exterminator.
