Dollar Sign Eyes

And there I am at 28
scraping nacho cheese off a dinner plate
with what once was immovable faith
starting to shake, shiver, and fade
praying please god won't you take me away
i can't tell if i'm insane or courageous and brave
one minute i'm wholesome
and the next i'm depraved
one day i'm a genius
and the next i'm a shame
tell tales of the living while i'm digging my grave
i swear the pen and the pad have been the one saving grace
but the older I grow the more equipment I gain
to navigate the troubled waters that done rattled my brain
blueprint the ways how we worship and pray
the light we seek through god, allah, or yahweh
the blood of the lamb baby
the weight of the word
the image of a prophet
the length of a curse

this is everything I've ever wanted
now that it's here i'm not sure that i want it
engage the come up but the hustle's haunted
all these dollar sign eyes proudly flaunted

so you see
theoretically
if you reach the stars you'd burn to death
so stop reaching
take a breath
fall in love with the pain from the goals that you never met
let the indifference swallow the stress

give wisdom
rafiki
eye of the
black mamba
harness my
big pile of
mistakes i
don't speak of
because when
i expose
naked skin
you judge me
you judge me
you judge me
run a smeer campaign with a thumb tap
an america king with a lunch packed
no room for growth like a sun trap
but your silver tongue in the gun strap
if you let em grow
and shed the woes
in which they were clothed
then derobed to expose
how we never know
what the future holds
then the moment starts to show
all the bits and pieces that comprise the whole
and everything aligns like whoa whoa whoa
i will not be destroyed
by the habits that i formed
before i knew the meaning of temporality
god is good to me
god is all i see
now that the devil sleeps right beside me
