The Cave

"I stopped combing my mind so my thoughts could lock . . . "
-Saul Williams, the dead emcee scrolls

I'm digging my way to China
Through the concrete I walk on
Away from the Sun's Heat
Into promising darkness, that which becomes me
Swisha, I'm far from Sweet
So feel free to put it Bluntly
From where you at, I MUST look a fool
While U Enjoy the open air, letting the wind blow your hair
Filthy niggas, trying to boast with flair
But only few can rule
And in my cave, its hard to lose my cool
Unlike U
The block's hot, feel me?
Let's hotbox, feel me?
Living in a cave does not limit my flight skills
And the fan's blowing
so I won't lose this cool

Feel me?

Tip-toeing around these black holes
For bankrolls that draw me in like stencils
By the fortune-tellings of fortune
drawn in my mental
Watch my Step, I scale the Stairs of Time
While they aim for a Strike, I'm just trying to Spare their minds
In this Stage of my Life
I don't perform for the critics
Just exploring the mystics
and pop-lock, feel me?
I pop locks, feel me?
No Doors Could Keep Me Out
You feel me, now?
As I dictate in this cave
never losing my cool . . .
Just intake the Swish blaze
and play Pool with the crew
Marco Polo, anyone?
Ha! I guess Zu IS a fool
You can laugh at or with me . . .

. . . Most likely I've been clowning YOU for years, fool.

You know how when sometimes

you get to happy and filled with joy

and love you cry,

well I associate tears with love.

So when I'm penny-less, homeless, and in the midst

of my saddest moments in my life,

moments that cause me to emit tears,

I will at least if nothing more,

have love.

recently I've had several deep thinking days, what with learning I probably won't be continuing my colligate career at the University of Houston, how I can't stand the same old same old of home, and realizing in the next two to three months I will, by whatever means possible, be living in a different state (and no I am not referring to a mental state). And one thing that has kept coming back in my thoughts of how everything will work out is that as long as I have the support from family I'll be fine, and friends as well. It's not that we need confirmation of what we do in life but to have someone tell you they don't know why, or completely understand your rational, that they still support you is something only a true friend, and family could do for you. So as corny and lame as this sounds, just realize when you got no cash, no positive thoughts, to be told I love you, but someone who you know actually loves you it's a much needed positive energy that gets passed to you that can keep a person going.

LETS SPREAD THE LOVE!
