2 O’clock in the Morning

2 o’clock in the morning, I should be busy snoring

I’m scratching my head because I’m awake in bed

These ideas seem to come out without warning

I must admit, at times I want to quit

Sometimes things just don’t seem to fit

While at other times, it feels like I got this

But meanwhile, I’ll admit, I’m frustratingly confused

Wondering what else is there really more to do

Reach out for the crowd and say this one’s for you

Somewhat of a ham, take me as I am

Sometimes I think I could give a blooming damn

But what the heck, I’ll do this for the fans

A Pitter and a Patter

A pitter and a patter and nothing else matters

The way I deliver things, I’ll serve it to you on a platter

I am who I am, so why try to change me

No need for hypocrisy, I’m highly sophisticated

A twister, an enigma, a brilliant kind of thinker

My spin on things makes many others want to give up

It ain’t right the way I choose to fight

Because I’m bright; I know that I’m just that nice

I’m an original, don’t need to be biting

Off someone else’s idea. I think it’s rather frightening

God made me to be creative so creating I will go

Just a little tidbit, in case somebody wanted to know

Authentic, you know I do my best to bring it

If this were a song, you know they’d know the lyrics

I’m climbing up toward a higher latter

I’m bringing it with a pitter and a patter

According to You, I Don’t Belong

I know I’m just here, coming to you sincere

To you it’s all the same, but let me make things clear

Know I’m kinda fierce; I belong in this rap game

Don’t think it’s a hoax, not trying to bend you to a frame

Not trying to hear what you see, so get ready to take notes

Plainly and simply being me, I’m about to rock this boat

Before you scratch your head, trying to recapture what I said

Let me drop it like I’m hot, I know I’m being led

Listen to me instead, busy giving you everything I’ve got

Yeah, you’ll clearly pay attention once you see me hit that spot

On every word I happen to mention, realize I got you hooked

You’ll be surrounded by tension when you see how it finally took

Think over your rejection ’cause I’m not a quitter, you see

I’m totally by the book; you’ll finally be facing reality

So keep taking your notes because I’m hot and spicy

Finally aware that I can cook, I’m as cool as iced tea

Guess you played the fool, not playing by my rules

That’s all right; I’m still standing strong and cool

Finally looking at me, feeling all kinds of wrong

Because according to you, I don’t belong

Alone

Alone with my thoughts again

I don’t know what else to do

Somehow, I wish that I could pretend

Not to know what I’m going through

These thoughts seem to be overpowering

Coming toward me from every direction

Feelings that I seem to be harvesting

Is overwhelming me with no exaggeration

Receiving a strong pull from everywhere

It seems to be driving me over the brink

Can’t get these thoughts under control

I don’t know what else to think

So here I am, on board again

Expressing what’s authentically real

Unsurprisingly, I find myself struggling

With things that I wish that I didn’t feel

To some extent, this may sound puzzling

The way these feelings are being expressed

Give me a second while I sort out my suffering

And somehow get this off of my chest

Swarmed with a million thoughts

All coming toward at me all at once

Not fully aware of encountering the cost

Somehow, this sounds rather blunt

Why does this drive me over the roof?

Maybe bothered about what others may say?

Cautious of how I handle the truth

Well, it looks like I’m out here today

A warrior of a different kind

Not doing this thing on my own

Thank my Lord and my Savior Jesus Christ

That I’m not really out here alone

Another Bit of a Masterpiece

Another bit of a masterpiece; I’m legit I mustn’t quit

My mastery has no limits; this piece of work is unlimited

I’m becoming like a rapper, I’m hype, and primped and dapper

I’ll put your face in the hoe hay, you know it’s just not that proper

I’m crazy, and that in itself amazes me

That you’re still not into me, I leave your thoughts all hazy

I want to be godly, but I’m right down an odyssey

And I swear I don’t understand for the life of me

Relevant, straight up elegant; I’m a nuisance, even my haters

Know I’m amusing, and that I’m an influence

Hopefully good and not just misunderstood

Because I don’t do things as I know I often should

My skills are raw, straight from the street

Get out of the way, if you can’t take the heat

’Cause I’m vindictive and quite vicious

What else am I planning to hit you with, stitches?

I’m like a genie in a bottle, rub me the right way

And I just may show you how you may be able to portray

The grandeur that’s right in front of you, a prophetic kind of seed

Stand still as if you somehow knew I was another bit of a masterpiece

Back to the Drawing Board I

Back to the drawing board again

My mind manipulating me to write

At this time, not sure if foe or friend

All I know is I’m down for a fight

I know that I’m bad in so many ways

Not giving into any kind of excuse

Actually ready for the unsettling maze

That gets me tied up in the fumes

As I go on, I have to stay strong

Drawn to another battle, of course

Motives many may sound wrong

Drawn like a saddle to a horse

Settled and I must stand firm

But please don’t sound so alarmed

Assured there’s no need for concern

For I possess this undeniable charm

Sounds entitled, well of course, it does

Otherwise, this wouldn’t be me

Delivering news like I know I was

But someone else is holding the keys

For my mind is not really my own

Someone else is guiding my ways

Though the picture not clearly shown

I will be giving Him all of the praise

To some, this may sound so confusing

Might get caught up in questions for days

But for one moment don’t be assuming

That He won’t be getting all
