In the back of my mind I write rhymes freehanded,
Stolen from thoughts like a telepathic bandit,
My flow seems to flow from right to left handed,
My memories are caught like cameras so I guess you can call them candid,
Dam I cant stand it,
Smooth yet hard like granit,
I guess I tip-toed through the back of my own mind in this rhyme,
I'm falling back through my own windows of time,
Yet every window allows me to glimpse into a possible future of mine,
I need a moment from myself but that's impossible to find.

This trip is like living your life in reverse,
You begin from the Grave and progress to your birth,
It's like knowing how the movie ends but not what happned 1st.
So I'm glued to my dream,
watching myself scene by scene,
This is something no man should see..... You know what I mean?
But for reasons some spaces are dark or unclear,
Dam I'm seeing loved one's passaway I need to get out of here.
I mean don't get me wrong it feels good to see the fruits of your labor,
But not all the fruits bear a good flavor to savor.

I'm floating and watching everything within a blink of An eye's speed,
This silence is so deathing it makes my ears bleed,
I'm down on my knees asking the Lord to sow a seed,
That will deliver myself from my own thoughts and deeds
Tell me did I need all this pain to write the poetry that I wrote?
Because everytime I speak it my tongue burns my throat!
My eyes catch ablaze and my teeth start to smoke,
My words chared my soul until I hit the last note.
I wasnt searching for fame just a vessel to release the strain,
Thoughts slideing through time like the snake in my name....

Like some annaconda flick,
Caramel serpent entwined and combined on thois pen called a Bic,
Mt pen is a "Blood" and my paper is a "Crip",
Doing scribe By Poetry as my mind takes a trip.
To reach this altitude,
your mind needs an attitude,
Within my own longattude and lattatude
I backed tracked this map,
profiling my own thoughts in this dream like trap,
Like an annarexioa wraped within their own mental fat!

I just wish I could thake 2 mic's and take flight,
then recite unheard words that would cure a crack addicts pipe,
Bring children into the light when things bump in the night,
Take Bush out of the office and I know that's right!
Make everyone read just once The Purpose Driven Life!
Join one nation under God and do the right thing like spike!

In my own mind I am recieveing my Finishing Touch,
As a matter of fact I guess this aint so bad that much!

In the back of my mind!
