Today you made my pen fib...
Had me penning rhymes as if I was EVE and God created me from your rib...
...NO WONDER MY CHEST HURTS...
Thought my heart was done with THE BREAKS but u sliced the stitches and left it bleedin thru my shirt...
I thought what we had was GRAND...I worshipped u like my MASTER...but u dissapeared in a FLASH...
I never wanted to ROC Another FELLA...and still u treated me like any other DAME the day u decided to DASH.

...U had me spittin off key...

Sloppy stanzas slipped of my tongue instead of spittin sixteens.
I wander the STREET aimlessly...wondering what happened to our DREAMS.
Cuz see...I fell for thee...ILLMATICally...
Thought I found that ONE LOVE who would never had a REASON to be ABLE to DOUBT me...

...But YOU CHANGED...

And like a leaked album I have to push my emotions back...
Slow down the tempo to my heart and re-arrange the tracks...
Cuz without u...the beats no longer play the same...
The SONG within my soul sheds musical notes...and my eyes CRY like SUMMER RAIN...

For you...I woulda went RUNNIN" across storm clouds to the PHARCYDE of the sky...
But like a disgruntled bus driver on Sunday...you just keep PASSIN' ME BY...
I shoulda went with my intuition and KICK PUSHed your love emotions into submission.
But u obstructed my optics when normally I have pyrex vision.

...I just couldn't forsee...you hurting me...

I read the creases in ur smile with my fingertips as if they had a braille lining...
Guess u can call that a love that's blinding...
I thought I was the star of THE SHOW...but I guess my smile didn't SHINE as bright...
How stupid of me to actually belive that I was un-COMMON enough to be THE LIGHT...
Meaning...when you told me U GOT ME...I thought it meant for LIFE...
Come to find out I was just another BLACK THOUGHT that met it's demise in the night...

I loved you more than I love C.R.E.A.M...
I cherished u like the last DOLLA BILL I found after the wash cycle crumpled up in my jeans...
I believed ur every syllable like when PAC told me nothing was more beautiful than A ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE...
But now I feel like a thorn in your side as opposed to a leaf from your stem...dying ALONE IN THE STREET.

Never thought you would be MY DOWNFALL...I thought you would always HOLD ME DOWN...
The sound of my teardrops hitting the concrete is more melancholy than the sound of PENNIES falling on the ground...
Losing ur love got me feeling like "14 days...I'm just too weak"
So I'll sit here and outline my heart in chalk and play hopscotch with the beats...


Everytime you went into the booth I thought you beat those bars specifically for me...
But Un-LUCKY ME...seems like I was just an IMAGINARY PLAYER ghost written within your cd...
To me...u embodied all the attributes of a God Emcee...and I breathed in your flows to the point of suffocation...
But I shoulda never trusted you to LET THE BEAT BUILD in my heart...I shoulda just changed the station...
