Imagine the feelings that he felt
With the cards he was dealt
Mad at the world, directed it to himself
Swimming in an ocean of liquor
The Black alcoholic Michael Phelps
Ryker's Island, the bars surround by sea
Can't decease, may desist
Can't resist the cause & effect
Feelings I harbored I can't neglect
Kill the barber that made a mess
Shaped up, he don't need a fade
Can he evade the negativity coming close to his proximity
Coming down the hill, yelling loud on Yosemite
Calamities on the same streets where the motherfuckin' hammers be
cll the victories, can he handle defeat
cll the enemies want they hands on the feast
But the guest list on this table is limited
Fulfilled energy & he just can't limit it
That doom we hear coming is imminent
Light so bright please come & try dimmin' it
cll my height, the beanstalk ain't feelin' it
cll that might even He-Man ain't killin' it
Bob the Builder tell me who's drilling it
My sixth sense tells me who is feeling' it
I'm the bait, to give you what's reelin' in
I leave space for in's & outs that's fillin' in
I'm the space in the light, I'm like filament
I'm so Black, white women love my melanin
I'm so rich, the freestyles, I'm sellin' em
For a fee, upbeat
To get they heads noddin'
Like I'm on that beat
Like Jay-Z, in that meme, no glasses
Cos niggas see what I be
How I want a new world
I'm still far from a fascist

Tears run from a face, puddles turn into lakes
Uh-huh
Yo
Look
Huh

Runnin' again, slipping and fallin' all of a sudden I'm gone with the wind,
But it's all for a win, to keep it a hunnid,
I never saw what would cause me to bend,
Till you caught at the end,
Where no long talks, phone calls and hugs, and all love could cause it to mend,
Quick lookin out lil homie it's all from within

Tears run from a face,
Puddles turn into lakes somehow,
Last leg of the race,
Hollerin just in case I'm down,
Tryna keep the pace,
Feel like I'm runnin' late, but how
Nothing is guaranteed let's keep the speed till sundown

Come here

Look at the statement of the greatness implicated by the hatred and unsatiation
cll this information cause the timid to seek validation
We literally all derived from the elation
Of a woman's patience
cnd a man's cadence
The rhythm of life, the feeling of strife, plight
Trepidations and the wonders of mine a wonderful mind
Deprived of a beautiful time
The bliss in her eyes it seem to-
Seem to tell me how she feeling inside
Come play with my mind
Don't play with the lies
I play with the lives
Of verses and lines
The poets don't try
I am poetry and the poet is I, Ed
So scream my name from the rooftop and open the sky
cnd if you love me you should rock with me until we a die
We never a die
We never a-
We never say never because we seem to be better on days when we never would try
csé
So tell me stories of your hatred when you feel depressed
I tend to love her so much better when she underdressed
The emotions see connections when when they not compressed
cnd black crime wouldn't exist if we not oppressed
So stop the bitching and just rock with me they call me Ed
cnd when you lonely you can call on me and hold my hand
It's the promised land the promises of the contraband
Higher than highest can
Rock with they me Ed
