this nigga...

Starin at this box o chicken, like a nigga
Full fledge wit it hot sauce and biscuit, like a nigga
For my drink? Brugal and pineapple, like a nigga.
And to top it off... Its in a red cup, go figure.
Tryna reason wit myself "its ok 2 do Nigga" so long as I'm still this nigga, not that nigga.
That nigga rushes thru life and usually dies fast. This nigga open doors, holds em and never walks past. This nigga tucks his shirt in his pants...its in his genes.  He tucks his shirt in his boxers to show his....its not in his jeans.
That nigga tells her whatever she needs to hear to get inside.. I told her I aint really want it and jus treated her real nice.  She ended up wantin me more 'cause I aint bite...damn near cursed me out cause I aint want inside... She's a nigga.
 In a lot of ways me and that nigga start out similar but I leave a tip and that nigga he's usually short on dinner.
We often times are mistaken for one another... similar stature, haircut, vernacular and such. Waffles and chicken for brunch... don't kno or care the difference between a pouch and a clutch...
Never show emotions.. "What's the matter?" "Nuttin much"
But the similarities die where he lives "The Land of Don't Give a F---"
Watch how I move closely and compare it to he...
On certain issues I'm indifferent to save stress, that niggas different he just don't care none the less.  This Nigga plays devil's advocate at times to hear the other side, that nigga lives in Stubborn and is on a diet from wise.
I luv that nigga like a brother does... 'cause ultimately... who am I to judge?
But I keep him at arm's distance...His alistfullness quiets his mind like a mime. He's why I'm...endangered like this biscuit.
C'mon my nigga.

Lauren


Across the third lane of the expressway/ i spotted her look my way/ 
bluetooth in ear conversin wit friend or fam/ long as it aint her man ima eazy-pass some class her way/ 
this day.. a Thursday of mines/ my day out the week where my superpower's inclined/ 
so im at 72 a lil too fast/ she prolly 65 or 67 on the dash/ so i ease up on the accelerator and hit my right blinker/ 
ease into the third lane n she corner-of-the eyes smiles a "nice to meet ya"/ mmmm hm
i smile back in recognition/ now here's the mission: to make a connection 10 miles over the speed limit/ 
stay subtle n semi-suave still avoidin any collision/ 
"can u read my lips?"/ she nods yes "u a trip, wats ur name?"/ 
Reggie. - "Danny?"/ No Reggie. - "Debbie?" - No b*^#h, Reg-gie!! - "Reggae?"/ 
Cot damn, my exit up next and she tryin my patience/ she cute but not worth the frustrations/
but the mission is worth completin not wastin/ so i deep breath n try sumthin else/ 
"Sweetie... where's ya phone?" n she holds it to the window/ "punch these numbers in n then press send"/ 
"ok, im ready" -"seven-one-eight, three-oh-oh"/ i lip her the rest n she dials em up slow/ 
mission complete i exit n she exit rite behind me/ now she in my rear-view... umm kinda weird... but ok cool/ im up the FDR Drive thru the BX into Pelham Park, slide out Tonka n she still behind in her car/ 
she still in her convo so i dont approach jus yet/ casually walk to the BBQ and spot my Auntie Lizzette/ 
she says "Hey Earl" and waves to shorty I jus connected to/ now my face is slightly screwed/ 
"you kno her Auntie?" / "Duh Earl, and now u do too- meet your cousin from Florida, Lauren" ........
"um... hey, nice to meet you"

Once upon a rhyme


Once upon a rhyme I met this dope flow... soothin to my senses, shorty cud rock so i rolled.. Wit her, Mister...Ice Cold followed his nose, on a lyric-driven road exact change on the tolls... perfection.   
Shorty made sense way too soon, no difficulty as if i knew her... She was so easy a caveman could do her... Gave my pen Geico, All State for the page... driven circles round the lines, insured switchin lanes.   
She gave me metaphors in fives n sixes, simlies by the dozen, imprisoned and wishless was my writer's block- My night Lite laid nines to my glocks and then ticks to my tocks... all i ever needed was a rhyme and reason, feeel like rhymes before her I was bein cheated.. never seen a flow like this before... 
whether mic pen or qwerty, i need some more... 
Gimme some.

a e i o u

Smoke-filled haze... not the lean you kind/ but the room was laced... wit summer summertime/ top two button-loose kinda night/ shirt slight tucked on the front n right/ crisp knit collar secure the loose tie/ and it didnt even matter what surrounded the ice/ because the cup wa'nt the sole source o courage that night/ it seemed that I... couldnt lose  if i tried/ this smoov string of 5 this Monday thru Fri/it painted rather stroked the tonite quite nice/ it was a mural o the manifestation of the making/ a mirage of the moments of the matriculation/ an assemblance of the acts, activities and such/ that had me really not wanting to give a ...dollar to my coworker when he humbly requested 10/ but i pondered n figured it come back so i lent it/ Pay me back, Pay it forward i mentioned/ and i forgot about it i wasnt payin attention/ and found 10... not bucks but the assemblance of the acts, activities and such/  back to the haze summer solstice swarmed this place/ if i cud call it euphoric it wouldnt be far from the truth/ the bass then her face was all i heard n saw in the room/ i watched Lame James, Corny Rory and Dick all make horrendous attempts at this chick/ couldnt help but smile as she pleasantly rejected the lines/ she was fly but i'm in this on my lonesome zone tonight/ so i wasnt really on it... until... she glanced my way, then looked away real quick/ fingered her hair glanced back and i swear... Shorty made me blush/ so i smiled kinda shy and started chewin my lime/ had to hide my slight fluster/ noooo associations with the busters/ No nope. So i'm back i coped/ reaquainted with my dope and thought... Should i approach?/ i'm walking across the room dodging wac punch lines and moves/ gettin closer... I stroll slower, actin like i gotta sway and let by erybody in my way/ really jus buying time/ wish i had that extra 10 I lent to buy a dime line/
4 steps away.. Should i horoscope? Nope/ 3 steps think ima jus slide left n forget it/ oh! she saw me cant bail out now/ 2 steps away... damn can i buy a vowel/ and that thought came through.. My words to her  In a smoov raspy voice too/ A e I o u... She laughs n laughs grabs my shoulder n shakes her head/ looks up at me then she asked "Boy wat u said?" /Without hesitatin i told the truth/ baby i said "a e i o u.. And sometimes y"/ she straightens her face n looks at me real sly" then she asks "a e i o u and sometimes why?  Well, Baby i owe you, and dont ask why"/ She took the cup out my hand n placed it on her waist/ she stole me the rest of the night.. Face to face/  i taught her how 2 Dougie then she did it better than me/ she pretty girl swagged and all ...the girls ...were on me... damn/  So the mural of the manifestation of the makin/ framed and featured this friday's feautre presentation/ and all it took was the absence of a clue and a deathly original "a e i o u"/ whenever the summer springs up out of his slumber my Monday thru Fri feels like borrowed time/ maybe i owe you and sometimes why.

At Lease


I'd forfeit this freedom if Fancy found her way 2 me...
Decided that day's a decade away cause the future aint wat it used 2 be...
Close-minded perhaps. Clothes-minded adorned in clear-cut caps n hats...
Liking moving Moms I'm a transparent... With evident intent: Need nothing and am hesitant 2 bring in the rest.
With that said and still... there aint a bone in my body that aint poised for feminine thrill 
So the dichotomy runs rampid... daily lapping my desire... 
Could have what u want but wanting jus fuels the fire...
It's like... My heart's warm but my chest r thick n freezing and all my feelings are subject to a lease agreement...
So what once was "with u" has grown to "6 weeks conditional"...
Honey sweet kisses that once lingered long after lips left now can't stick for sh*t n are avoided in due circumstance...
And only quality is allowed on this lot... Our clientele doesn't attract lemon drops...
So she's dope, and that ride was smoove but the hood don't vrooom after the lease is thru...
Never voluntary or forced... perhaps i shud just walk. Exercise my thoughts n perfect my course so when Miss Fancy's day comes after that decades falls... the lease will at least come with an option 2 buy.
But till then... "Baby...It's not you it's me"...flying solo thru seasons as the fall guy.
