Lost control? Lost your role? Like a loosened bolt, another plate of metal gone Boastin' bold, but ya walls knocked down in rows, dominoes You evva been a broken man? a broken man? a broken man? A broken man... Tell me I'm trapped in all corners Go ahead 'n' believe that I'm climbin' these walls, off course I breed rap Empowered ranger morphin ma writin' like a danger Treated wit' mighty morphine More than meat, can't afford me More uvva beast, havoc wreaks Smells stain the underneath I warp sheets, stains seep the floor beneath Floorboard held upheathed of fiber string I been bored, an' hung by a corded fleet Best foot forward, I floor ma feet Ma pen performance chorin' tha beats I frequent heat, inkburns aflame an' triggers my pen, finger eager, ink bleeds Each beach soaked, sacrificed blood of a beaver, damned within, writin' a list Sins remiss The rinse begins Chrysalis in burnt reflections Led burst 'tween the lense Split sights See me in two ways but the middle ground a crisis Glass shatters the sights heightened Some shit just bigger than life Picture enlargens Broken man of the population Do I put the pen down?

An angel winged and grasped? A broken man who snapped Undetermined prestacked Barely hangin' on Preserve me in candle wax Strike the wick wit' ma match I been livin' like I barely know me One step closer to a never been A has been Forgetting all I've ever set! Out ta be
