Vending Machines
Words about life as I perceive it.
Where it used to be water fountains
Now it’s vending machines
You see how they be bending our dreams
I was thirsty, but look
They done fucked up the scene
And wonder why people acting so mean.
Imagine if this was the scene as a teen
When a broke ass was all I was scratching
Believe
I might not have made it this far
Fuck it
Might as well get a drink at the bar
Caught in the scam
Caught in their claw
Try to drive home
caught by the long arm of the law
They want me to drink but not drive
That’s not a policy flaw?
They say no
but you know the tale is too tall
Kevin Durant
Tryna hit the kiddie pool
Don’t even know what they did to you
But wonder why getting money is pivotal
Gotta buy the clothes so your Mr cool
Played to a T
This life doesn’t pity fools
Full of strife if you don’t get no pretty jewels
Some people get rice and shout out
This is pretty cool
Perspective
I can’t give you directions…
That’s the deception
You gotta understand your infections
Because you got the medicine
Nothing else works better than
The inside track on self love that you have to give
I wish there a fast lane to the finish line
Just like how I wish this whole world had dinner time
But those in power got different spines
I stand on mine
Theirs, they still tryna find
It’s a funny fate
Having dinner plates belong to invertebrates
Ask for answers
Ones they are sure to fake
Try to break free and they’re sure to hate
Sure to demonstrate
How your intuition leads to nothing but wishing
Wonder why everyone’s has gone fishing
Just know that’s the mission of politicians
Ignorance makes you heartless
Not only spines they are missing
Really their spines are there
But reserved for the wrong
They stand for hate
March to move it along
Think you can move to a king
But we’d rather fawn over being a pawn
