This poem is for those who lie.

(LIE = lying to others, lying to self, breaking promises)



"Knock On Wood"



*singing* "How sweet it is to be loved by you..."


...and you.


...and you.




It just happened ?
Well SOME things should NEVER FUCCIN HAPPEN
you LOVE Aladdin but you over here fuccin' w/ Jasmine ???
Touchin & Laughin
actin like it's nothin
Attraction stuck in the dash
but you SHRUG when Mu'fucaz is askin


Energy knows before the **** is exposed --
but you say i'm 3rd eye blind.


Energy knows before the **** is exposed --
but you say I'm out my Mind !!!

To think you just might do what you said you'd NOT do

I guess pilgrims , republicans & Judas
forgot to Knock On Wood too !





but... you be like :

" Hey - i wouldn't do that, you ain't got nothin to worry'bout
whatever you heard about, that **** is word of mouth.
Please, I know myself - just ignore your gut feelin
I'd never do those things you fear,
for you i have too much feelins.
Trust me. "

But if you bust "me" in the act in then
they'll be say "that **** just happened"

Well SOME things should NEVER FUCCIN HAPPEN
If i was a thug in my actinos
you'd be full of slugs w/ a passion
all the time, I might as well been huggin assassin
cuz your word is NOT your bond,
liars just be yappin.



Energy knows before the **** is exposed -
but you say i'm 3rd eye blind.

Bones are feelin' it comin' over the horizon but you promise
otherwise.


Energy knows before the **** is exposed -
but you say i'm out my mind

... to need some re-assurance for the umpteenth time.



and then.... you do it anyway.


You know...

that which you promised that you'd not do.

But hey if my promises were empty I might forget to
knock on wood too.

Cuz your mouth is writing checks your actions cannot cash.

Letting others hang their faith & hope on your word
and you KNOW them funds are insufficient up the a s s.




Yes, things DO change - but how much will you compromise
when somebody's tryin to trust you enough to let
your WORD straighten their spine.


Is sacred in the house ????

Is sacred here ??

Is there ANYTHING that's still sacred ???


Oh - and this ain't no hateration or a colder shoulder
this is principle on call waitin but you won't click over.

and...

who am i to try and call it ?
There's plenty degrees my character is lackin.
But i'll bend Heaven and Earth to ensure my word being
broken
doesn't

"just happen".



Knock On Wood.
