“The Death of What I Had in Mind”

I pray your pain helps you to find your purpose just as my pain has helped me find mine.

Let’s get 2 work!

…. “We could’ve had it all, old memories, your energy, it’s hard to uninstall,

I gave it all up, to give you everything, you were my everything, now you my nothin’,

These days, everything microwaved, 10 years thrown away, guess I was…too much like an oven,

She aint wanna wait and see, what I coulda came to be,

All this time I’m thinking we good, whole time she hatin’ me,

I was on the ground for a second,

I was just down for a second,

And when I needed you, where was you, somewhere wit legs spread,

How u play a man who care, who’ll be there, when you sick, when you low, beauty fade and you old, but you chose, 20% over 80 instead,

It’s all good mamma,

Knew better do better, wish we all could mamma,

At least I’m back 2 writing, I was down but it’s a new round and I’m back 2 fighting, i feel like Tyson,

It’s not about the dates on ya grave it's about the hyphen,

Get somethin’ real don’t let it go cuz it’s like catching lightning…,

I’m ok, but i’m not ok,

we went from speaking everyday, to every other day,

to “wish I never I called”,

to not speaking at all,

I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna feel liberated,

I can see my vision clear but my fears outweigh it,

I’m stuck between “he help those who help themselves” and “he also help those who waited”,

I can do this, gotta say it, I’m dope, I’m the greatest, positive mental playlist,

All of them negative thoughts, soon as they come, slay it,

I know they like a giant but what’s Goliath to David?

This ain’t all your fault,

I cast my line in muddy water instead of the ocean sea, so it’s really on me the type of fish I caught,

Every lesson ain’t free, silly me I thought,

Since I married you and gave you my name, raised your kids like they were mine, though it caused me pain,

That you couldn’t give me, none of my own, even so I remained,

Loyal and committed, I thought at least… I’d get the same,

But I was wrong homie,

The death of what you had in mind it’s like, such a sad song homie,

I thought forever we would go,

Now you just someone I used to know.”
