@LyrikTheArtist

I haven't been around,

I went off the track,

now I'm back in town,

people cheering loud,

because Papi's back

Back to

the 9-5,

back to

greatest alive,

if not right now

maybe next time,

you say I’m the worst

and maybe you’re right.

Maybe I’m still that kid

that played

in my nonna’s basement,

maybe I should grow up

maybe I should face it,

where I am right now

is more than just placement,

I put myself here

now I have to pick myself up

or at least until I make it,

nothing is gonna change

if I remain complacent.

Fake it till I do it,

dug myself up

after I was in ruin,

blaming others was

pretty foolish,

I’m glad I cooled it.

Taking it back to where it all began,

before the boy grew into the man,

before I picked the game up and ran.

I was just a kid dude,

take it back to 3052…

I haven't been around,

I went off the track,

now I'm back in town,

people cheering loud,

because Papi's back

Thick Walls

@LyrikTheArtist

Laying down in my bed

I can hear my neighbors,

Lisa's mad at Gary

cuz he didn't save her.

She robbed down the block,

by a tall man

with a glock.

Lisa screamed to Gary

but he wasn't there,

she thinks he didn't care,

the truth is

is wasn't even there,

he was at another

woman neighbor's place

ruining the time they shared.

I wish these walls were thick.

I can't sleep

I can't sleep

I can't sleep cuz these walls

are thin,

I can't help but to hear

all of it,

your secrets within..

Laying down in my bed

I hear what's next door,

a man locked himself inside

while his ex wife was outside

with her eye sore.

He beat her locked himself

inside with their son,

she was hurting and the blood

couldn't help but run,

someone called the cops

cuz no one knew if he had a gun.

They broke the door down,

I can tell by the sound,

cops busting in to make sure

the kid is still around,

the man went downtown.

I need thick walls..

I can't sleep

I can't sleep

I can't sleep cuz these walls

are thin,

I can't help but to hear

all of it,

your secrets within..

I guess shit happens..

What’s on your mind?

I hope it’s me,

that thing that you

struggle to find

that’s me,

I’m free,

but I miss my leash,

the things I miss

are these,

memories,

of me and you,

don’t know what

to do,

I’m screwed.

Maybe she forgot

about me,

maybe she found

someone new,

someone who

gives her love she needs,

do things

I didn’t do,

won’t fuck shit up

and make her do shit

I put her through,

the less we talked

the colder her shoulder grew.

Maybe it’s just me.

I didn’t know

I can feel this sore,

it’s not your fault

I needed space

but you deserved more,

attention,

love

trust

and affection,

I gave you aggression,

plus other shit

not worth a mention,

if I hang up

it’s because of poor connection

Ironic, The Song She
Sings

@LyrikTheArtist

Unaware of the beauty in the mirror

she starves herself,

memories of her ex are displayed

all on her shelf.

Remembering the bad things,

her life isn't as bad as she thinks,

ironic the song she sings.

I wanna give her tons of flowers

so I should be a florist,

it's so sad that sleeping beauty

don't know she's gorgeous.

She doesn't understand

how she deserves a better man,

not me

I'm not all that,

but you can settle for me

and know that my offer still stands.

Ironic, the song she sings..

She's upset because no one

knows what she's about,

she likes to sing

and play her music loud,

then dance all silly

like there's no one else around.

She's like magic,

she takes people's breath away

like they're asthmatic.

It's a fright,

this angel wants to cut off her wings

mid flight,

it's too early for an angel to die tonight,

oh no she's starting to cry...

Ironic, the song she sings..

She made some mistakes

but she's only human,

she likes to think that it's

other people's lives that she ruined,

she has had dreams that

she quit pursuing,

she has an imagination

that people tell her to stop using,

her creativity is forever bruising.

Let's never forget the happiness

that she brings,

she hurts herself for your smiles

ironic, the song that she sings....

I’m twitching

not from the coffee,

just the way she’s got me.

I’m twitching

not from the coffee,

just the way she’s got me,

it’s like the caffeine.

I’m hooked

and wide awake,

a coffee shop

I couldn’t stay away,

go there all the time

just to see her face.

Now I have a coffee problem

and I’m okay with it,

I like that shit,

I take a sip,

as long as I get my daily fix, of her.

I’m twitching

not from the coffee,

just the way she’s got me.

I’m twitching

not from the coffee,

just the way she’s got me,

it’s like the caffeine.

Wide awake,

my mistake,

dreaming with wide eyes

been doing that all day,

bought more coffee

and face-time cuz I got paid,

knock me dead

decayed,

she drives me crazy

but never late,

I know she don’t feel the same,

don’t know my rap name,

but I’m to blame,

I’m too lame,

gotta stay in my lane,

she’s no saint,

she don’t like wearing

beauty paint,

but she will if she has to

nothing’s fake.

whole in her heart

needs to be filled,

she tried pills,

does thrills,

wants mills,

so her dreams are never kills.

I’m twitching

not from the coffee,

just the way she’s got me.

@LyrikTheArtist

It’s not easy being me,

I may look and sound

like I have this shit down to a T,

but I’m going crazy

every morning

midday

and evening,

I’m actually falling apart

faster than I seem,

grown man

but I’m still chasing my dreams,

facing the music

life’s not as easy as it seems...

We live and learn

we rise and run,

chasing opportunities

for more than fun,

for making a living

the beat of our own drum,

during the dark days

being our own Sun,

for people like me

don’t worry kid

you’re not the only one.

Metanoia

@LyrikTheArtist

I don’t know where I was last night

but I’m the king of there,

they said “if you can make it here

you can make it anywhere”,

but I’m not scared,

I’m just prepared.

Metanoia

They want a penny for my thoughts,

they’re gonna need more

if a penny is all they’ve got,

welcoming back rhymes

cuz my ex had them clogged,

not to mention

all her paintings I bought,

love ain’t something to be taught,

it’s something we feel,

I can’t fake it well

I want something real,

I’m looking for a long time

not time to kill,

now I let the ink on my pen spill,

that’s real.

I don’t know where I was last night

Mama I'll be

home soon,

I hear you made a gym

out of my bed room.

I haven't seen y'all

in a minute,

nothing personal

it's my life and I'm in it,

people think

your boy's legit,

I'm like their drug in it,

with all the rhymes I have

I don't think they're quittin,

I never thought I'd

fit in,

now I'm at the Grammys

sittin,

next to a celeb telling me

I'm a Beatle like Lennon,

normal folks want my picture

and I'll let em,

take it,

thankful emotions

I can't be fakin,

and you're responsible

for makin, me,

how're Niko and Bri,

haven't heard from them in weeks,

and haven't seen you and dad

since spring,

I'm sorry I had to leave,

just now my mind's not

weak,

I'm smart with the words

I speak,

people say your boy's

unique,

people use to think,

I was a freak,

now they beg for my

rap name written in ink,

it's as crazy as it seems,

who would've thought you

raised a beast,

I promised I'm coming home

in one piece...

I love you mama

I'm flying down

for Christmas,

damn I miss it,

I knew this life had

something missin,

and that's all of you

y'all helped me grow up,

you're all the reason

for my blow up,

and I promise you

that I'll show up,

y'all show my

flow love,

and I'll give y'all the album

for free just cuz,

I can,

mama you made me

this man,

and I mean it when I say

I miss the fam,

damn,

it's been while,

I should be home

in a mile,

can't wait to see your smile,

mama did you know

I have you on speed dial?

I'm sorry I haven't

called that much,

baby boy blue up,

now they're showing him

much love,

I wanna thank everybody

even uncle Ray up above.

You're one of my reasons

and my muse,

you formed me

and my humble attitude,

especially my lyrical attributes.

They ask "LyriK

why is Warr;or so depressin,

and why is your shirt

so fluorescent?"

Cuz it's a true story,

about someone else's

glory,

made it through thick and thin

fuck you if you think it's boring.

Mama you made poet

you made an author,

you made an amazing

future father,

I plan to make it farther.

I didn't mean to say this

through a call,

but I'm give life my all,

have a ball,

none of this would be possible

without my ma.

I'll be home soon,

I love you ...
