"Throw In the Towel"
  by drmbabyboy


I’m ready to settle down and retire my jersey.
Everyday I ask of God to forgive and have mercy.
There’s so many times I hurt you I don’t know where to start.
I know that I did you wrong, misused your trust and your heart.
I wrote you poetry cause loving me created the art.
That’s the only thing I made and gave that set me apart.
I’m not near perfect or smart, still I proceed to go hard .
I made mistakes, I raised the stakes, and never asked for new cards.
See life is chess, I played some checkers and some bones in the pen.
I lost my share of commissary losing more than I win.
It’s a regrettable thing to give up all of your dreams.
I used to be a king, now I’m a joke cause I have no queen.
Fate must be laughing at me. How come this irony stings?
I hope your happy living comfortably with your new main thing.
I can’t be mad at the ring. My heart was broke with no sling.
You used to be what gave me flight it’s hard to fly with no wings.
Disguised intolerable actions, so now I’m sorry Mrs. Jackson.
What should have been forever turned to never.
How could this have happened?
Andre 3000 was rapping about how mishaps can happen.
I finally understand his point of view, forgive me for napping.
Oh Yes, I love her like Egyptians! Now she’s missing now highness.
Subtract the years and add the tears. Now positive is a minus.
I take a whiff through my sinus, recalling her panty lining.
A paradox within itself no longer free, I’m resigning.
Remembering perfect pictures. Painting’s of me being with you.
I need you more than a scripture. Please bare with me cause I miss you.
