That cupid chick - is a hell of a marksmen
shot me in the ass with a poisoned dart then
ran and played it off nonchalant when
the venom sank in and I was vulnerable an
never gave me the warning to proceed with caution
so I went forth like an idiot charged with awesome
intentions and hopes but batman needs robin,
instead I was robbed when we stopped talkin'
long talks in empty parking lots we parked in,
but I started running when you decided to walk it
but that's just me, endurance was never a problem
in life or in bed - c'mon poet get off it,
alright I'll stop it, but was is a man without his sense humor
That's a man who can't recognize his profits…
You've been the conduit for me to ponder my wrong doin'
and conjure a strength
to foster a change
make me stronger in ways I hope will benefit us,
but strange
that although I'm stronger I gaze
at the distance between us and on this stage
where all the worlds men play character - charades
I can't find your face, although in LA,
every night is a masquerade where fools play
dress up and posture themselves to gain...
But I know, I know you're tired of my postulates
and think to yourself they use to have a Charm to em,
but I guess it's gone and your games - I'm on to em,
always thought our names doubley had a bond to em,
Used to be drawn to it in a way that I could never explain
but Hey…the only promises we ever made,
was if you're over this shit - to move on - don't stay,
appreciate you keeping your end of the bargain,
The only time I discuss yesterday is when
an old friend asks - How are y'all doing?
And I break the bad news to 'em, We ain't doin',
we ain't laughin', we ain't kicking it, we through kid,
we ain't talkin-I went all out but lost it,
she ain't havin it-I ain't persuin-
no more makin love in soft sand by the light of the moon,
I gotta keep it movin', they like who you fooling,
ahhh screw it, laugh it off, play it cool,
play it off, like let's get it then dog,
I order a couple of drinks - they like - who you screwin?
a couple pretty things help take the sting off,
see if a jump off will brush the rust off...
I'm trying tho, I'm trying yo, to find tho,
a balance, between losin my-self and makin her smile tho,
What I'm supposed? Yeah.. I know,
They say if you let it go,
and it never come back - Yeah, Adios,
Is it that simple? do I gotta let it goooo…
Till we got wrinkles --that's where we were headed tho,
You know that foreva eva foreva eva,
Now we on some - It is what it is SHIT,
like yeah -Whatever,
Whateva's Clever - and my endeavor,
But I'm gettin shut down straight clowned and beat down,
For every effort,
Without me it seems - the queen, is doing better,
Check mate the King, I was a Pawn used in the set up,
You need time - you got it?
You take it baby - You on it…
The problems were getting crazy,
You saw it and were a Goner…..
Well get up, Poet, get up, - if she fed up, it's for the better,
Cause better now! than find out how when you not around she LEFT…
It's not that I chose to lose, I chose the truth,
and I was always straight up when it came to you,
backfire on that guy, so I lace the booth,
While you and your chicks in the club and you raise the roof,
why nice guys finish dead last - Here's the proof,
I shoulda painted you a fantasy - drank the juice,
Where’s the Dragon, in the book, in the fairy tale,
The is beast life, two people gotta make it through,
Which two, I guess you know better than I do,
it's not me and you?
Good luck I hope that you find Dude,
