(V1) Steering wheel in the hands of a driver On his way home from the end of a cypher An all-nighter, the sky brightens Like the end of a tunnel when a life ends Teeth clenched, could feel my jaw tighten Mind lost in a verse I was writing Brainstorming, thunder and lightening I raced forward trying to beat up the red light when A car had cut me off, I was busy fixing my zipper The window was rolled down, the car rolled, shattered my fingers Ribs cracked in half, back glass broken in A limb was severed at the ligament, my other leg was pinned The glovebox, it unlocked and the contents within We're thrown to the side of the road, gone with the wind Torn cardigans and cartilage, the carnage of a carriage flip Saw a flash like a camera clicked (V2) Have I survived? Or have I bleed out? Am I alive? Or am I dead now? You see I don't recall the ambulance, or any of the doctors? Airlifted, but don't recall the choppers The amount of meds probably knocked me out Cause the facts can't be verified by anyone's account But suddenly I felt a draft, I was tossed onto a slab And tumbled out of what appeared to be a body bag And what I saw next was horrendous Scalpel across my scalp, a sliver of my appendix A shiver went down my spine to the pit of my stomach Took a good look as he dropped my heart in a bucket Lungs were gutted black, too many years of the dutches Once said, "if I die why not die with a blunt lit?" An injury's circumference, the size of a quarter Broken rib sliced through an aorta The coroner called it quits, said it was getting late Liver temp indicated TOD at 5:48 I arrived with no signs of life, no vitals A car crash with no chance for survival

Ok let me get it straight, cause every point I make is valid My talent is like a helmet, I couldn't bump heads without it If you have yet to love it, I know your judgement is clouded Perhaps you will not doubt it when the vicinity is crowded And gets packed out, next morning you read about it was a packed house The energy was electric. you just passed out Angry you were neglected, you lash out But pride is no protection, you'll get backed down First round, out of the gate, we on the track now Heard about a way to the surface without lost ground Kingmaker, as to say that I bust crowns Break bread from LA to Bucktown True vet, give my dogs pounds Whole pack full of aces, no bust downs It ain't funny, stop smiling better face facts Leave you laced up, face up, called it face mask To bury good and evil are the same task So I do this for my people, cause I see you Everyday as you toil and you slave for a wage And they say in way, time is nothing you can payback So this is payback, You're a one-take wonder cause even your engineer don't want the play back Queens on the river, we don't play Jacks Thread through the eye of the needle in the haystack (V2) How much more of this can I take? It's so hard to sleep when your soul's wide awake Releasing tapes to the masses Took a toke of the roach, inhaled the smoke then I passed it And that last hit, it got me blasted Brand new sounds from the first round draft pick Conduct the flow like a mystero's symphony Party up, 92 till infinity Picture me perfectly through metaphor and hyperbole Patterns in pitch switch mic circuits to currency And now currently, I gett'em open like a surgery Eyes burdendy, so def even the deaf have heard of me The potency of poetry, prose poems like potpourri Supposedly everyone needs a high, I do it vocally Hopefully you know you ain't holding me back Closed caskets for tracks, overdosed on raps
