Takeoffs And Landings

She Told Me

She told me that I don’t deserve her,
Even though most of what I do is to serve her,
She said all I ever do is to hurt her,
The longer we stay together it gets harder,

She told me she lost all her respect for me,
Changed her mind later then she came back for me,
Told me she’d push her ego to the back for me,
But ego never left and it left everything black for me,

She told me that I talk so much it’s getting tiring,
That’s why sometime she phases out when I try to tie her in,
The words fly through the wind as she slowly dies within,
I try to keep her in but I can never win,

She told me that she loved me now I’ll never truly know,
Cos every single fight it doesn’t really show,
Always wondered if I didn’t try to fight would she really go,
She did, guess it was never meant to truly grow,
Guess now we know.

Papered Up

So I got out, to the real life,
Degreed and papered up feeling real nice,
Might have costed alot but that’s the price,
No money, no guarantee, no job, no compromise,
But still we climb ladders searching for the better,
So you got a bunch of papers how does it matter?
If you don’t utilize, you won’t realize,
On the daily most of what we read are lies,
But still we swallow it like a hungry kid,
Or better yet, swallow it like a kinky chick,
No questioning, we take it in like a stupid bitch,
And complain everyday bout not getting shit,
Yea that’s the irony of the situation,
They say it out loud but scared of confrontation,
While many mistake the silence as patience,
Get it straight, that’s the problem of the nation

Modesty

It’s funny how we act like we know it all,
When matter of fact is we don’t at all,
Easy to forget when having a ball,
But the higher we get means the harder the fall,
See when we’re up high we forget the low,
But when we die what is left to show,
Every year I learn of how little I do know,
Travelled many places but there’s many more to go,
Seen many sights but there’s plenty more to see,
Played many roles but there’s plenty more to be,
Learned of many things but to say it honestly,
The most important lesson to me was modesty,
It’s easier to learn then it is to not show off,
Knowing is appealing but to brag is a turn off,
Some would say anything like a man trying to get off,
Better fix your act up before the bell sets off
