Scrimmage

So much on my mind that I can’t recline
Breathe deep, feel it in my spine, in the nick of time
I am a wishful rhyme-sayer, slang my piece of mind
For my peace of mind, relate through beats and rhyme
So all my nickels, dimes, quarters, please seek rewind
And all Hopie to my supporters ‘cease to speak of mine
‘cause though the meek inherit earth, I seek eternal
Words I’ve sowed on pages so my youthful roots are fertile
Driven through hurdles that this world placed to wait, for my fall
So all the latent hate for your girl can’t take its toll, no not at all
I live la dulce vita
My caramel colored skin has seen things worse than terse demeanor
So don’t be foolish, fall in love with gifts and simple image
It’s a game, you can’t win, it’s just a scrimmage
So test the limits, test the boundaries and seize the fear
Cease to fear, the sweet taste of victory is near
