You Call it Rhymes, I Call it Clearing out My Mind

Makes cents ( my first ever ha )

A penny for my thoughts
A nickel for my pain, a dime for every girl I truly liked but the outcome was the same
See Love is a funny game 
Girls give mixed signals without a reason
They change minds like the earth changes seasons
Fuck what you read in magazines I’ll give you something to believe in
So my thoughts travel to my hand
Hand to the pen
Some people are afraid of the truth no wonder why they rather pretend
Fight first, ask questions last
Looking towards my future instead of dwelling on the past
When i was younger I always used to wonder
About how my passion would be motivated by my hunger
But all of this has been hard, I’ aint denying it
I’m writing down these lyrics as a product of my environment
Ive had a lot of pain in my heart 
That’s why I started writing it
Now god I know you try and do what’s best for me
But do you mind if we sit down and negotiate my destiny?
Some say if it’s too hot stay out of the kitchen but I follow my own recipe 
And that’s why you never see me settle 
I’m always escalating levels and never let the hard times get to me
Just wait and see, I write my own history 
And even after a cancerous day I
Sit back vibe to hip hop cause music is my chemotherapy 
A penny for my thoughts
A nickel for my pain, a dime for every girl I truly liked but the outcome was the same
So I’m asking for something different something new to finally begin
Im tired of these mixed signal giving playing hard to get girls cause I’ve been with enough that it could fill a trash bin to the top
I’m only giving my heart and soul to the only thing I ever loved, and thats hip hop


Kinda Happy

I wanna be Christmas day Kinda happy

I wanna be a kid waking up to saturday morning cartoons kinda happy

Jam out to you favorite song singing your heart out in the car kinda happy

You know what I’m talkin about?

How your first crush made you feel, Unsure about the feelings you felt cause you never

felt this feeling but you like the way she makes you feel and you wanna tell her how she makes you feel hoping she feels the same way kinda happy

That first kiss kinda happy

The wagging tail, Happily ever after fairy tale kinda happy

Wake up every morning to see this perfect female next to you wondering how you got

to be so lucky kinda happy

I’ll be a maybe in a room full of no’s cause you make me stay faithful in a room full of

hoes Cause this time I actually found a lady A woman I can call my baby and maybe,

maybe I’ll finally get to introduce myself

She’s like a blank check cause her smile is infinite and I dare you to look in an index to find a word to describe her existence

She was god’s blank canvas and he drew her beauty endless, painted her perfect, every second spent on her worth it

She makes Angels mad at him for making a woman so angelic Make me wanna get on my knees cause your worthy of praise

 she’s academically eloquent cause Shes worthy of A’s

Sweeter than honey from B’s

carries herself like the oceans and C’s

And don’t think you need to throw some D’s on this chick

Classy girl but a dirty side I admit

Take her to Something romantic with the candles lit

Even tho I want her to stay, I know she has to leave in a bit

Cause you see she’s not from here, she’s the girl from my dreams

And as crazy as it seems I feel like I know her so much that I wanna give her the ring

I know im not that good but I’ll serenade her everyday cause I know she likes it when I sing

I’m like a crack fiend cause you got me so addicted

Your body is a like a symphony,a smooth dope melody, you know I wanna listen Killing me softly with your words

The treble clef is filled with notes for every curve

A jazzy instrumental no need for any words

Im Below the heavens, but you take me higher no need for any herb

There’s so much I dont know about you but I’m eager to learn

Your love is so hot, when you’re gone it’s so cold but it feels like i got burned

You’re the melody to my song cause our hearts are in sync

She like the championship with out the ring

As you can see I’m not in it for the material thing I’m in it for the feeling

I hate that I’m so constricted to only one visit

Shes got a swagger and a smile that’s so vivid you can’t miss it

I can’t tell you the things I’d do to her cause it’s too explicit

But If you ever see her, tell her she’s the reason why my smile has been so consistent


Past thoughts( old)

I hate that everytime I hear a love song, I think of us

As if they opened my heart, spilled my feelings on the pages, dedicate them to you,But it wasn’t enough you lead me to a trail of regret and pushed me off the cliff I was good to you

You beautiful catastrophe destroyed me like Katrina

No where to hide from the hurricane of obstacles and all the was left was a wreckage of shattered hearts

Although I never spread those legs apart, I loved you like the first time you heard your favorite song

Loved you like a Fat kid loves cake

Like a bboy loves breaks

and like a liar is so fake,

My friends said it was a mistake But for once, I decided to take a chance

And I don’t fall for girls much as a matter a fact I’ve only fallen for 2

and ive got up dusted of my shirt everytime except for you

And i hate to admit it but It’s true what drake says cause you don’t need any make up to be beautiful

But these mind games you play with me makes me feel unsuitable

This may be a classic case of wanting what you can’t have and the feeling is so unusual

And as bad as I want to hold you in my arms

Your condescending actions refrain you from ever letting me break down those walls

I’d be lying if I say I’m not gonna miss those late night texts or those face time calls

No more of your sweet smile taking me back to my childhood to when I was a kid again,

when nothing else mattered Instead you shattered every thought of me and you having a future together

I don’t know If I was blinded by your beauty or my ignorance

To tell you the truth I don’t know what the difference is

You didn’t have the decency to be honest with me

Are you that pretentious leading me on Or are you one of the girls who likes playing with emotions

But it’s ok, you taught me what not to look for in a girl

Not only material things but to giftwrap the globe and give her the world

You taught me to love a girl by the shine of her soul and not her smile

You were just in love with the thought of being in love

I was a fuckin stunt double in your scene till you got it right

Till you realized men like me deserve chance at the spot light

So when those guys get what they want from you, and you try calling me

I won’t be there to wipe those tears

Cause I won’t pick up my phone You’ll be alone just like you left me

So This is my farewell to you, cause all you are now, is this poem and that lonely ringtone

Dream girl

So There’s this girl and I’ve known her for a while
Love the way she walks and in love with her smile
But im not really sure where her heart lies
I’m trying to separate her legs like apartheid 
And it’s not like pharcyde cause you’re no longer passing me by
Walked up to you couldn’t look away as I fell for your eyes
Cause you’re like something from gods vibrant plans or his beautiful designs 
Your smile can brighten through any weather like the sunshine
And I know it’s no surprise but I guarantee I’m not like them other guys 
So let me take this opportunity to say you’re so radiant that you make me want to speak Spanish so fluently
And this is more than just a line see
Be comfortable walk into it blindly 
And you got that filipino swag thats so right for me
You also have more then a body so It makes me wanna get into you mentally
And you always coming with the freshes fitted clothes
Making me rethinking about all of my wardrobe
And I’m not trying too be forward but I I was thinking we start off
Me on top of you and taking our clothes off
What I’d do to your body is freestyle but our love is written
And I know you like my bed but you love the kitchen
I can’t help that your name sounds so good with mine
And it can’t help it that you are so damn fine
Better yet let me say that I find you are Devine 
I see you in my dreams stuck in my conscious 
You and me are like the record to the needle don’t ever touch the off switch
I’ll ease the pain sending chills down your spine when i touch you with my fingertips
running them up your thigh making your goosebumps show cause I love it when you bite your lip
Time will stop and we can get away from everybody
And we’re becoming one, cause I’m melting into your body
And I can take you into ecstasy our souls will get lifted from this planet
I won’t be like your past guys, I refuse to take your figure for granted 
I know it’s not like we planned it 
But ill make sure you’re like a well oiled machine, and I’m the mechanic 
But imma stop being sexual cause it’s much more than physical
You’re poetry in motion you’re much more lyrical
And you take me to higher levels cause it’s that much spiritual 
The way you carry yourself you know what you’re doing
The world is at our hips can we please keep grooving
We can dance to the melody of our hearts that you and I are able2 hear it 
And we can create the greatest song cause if I’m the music your my lyrics
Our love would be so authentic and so expressive, no aggression but more progressive, we’ll make mistakes and learn the lessons, have a fight and make up with sexin’, just messin’
theres nothing to lose but so much to gain
Had a rough past I’ll repair the damages I can take away the pain
And Not with flimsy bandages
And even though it rains I know we can manage this 
No need to be apprehensive life’s about risking it
But you are still scared and hesitant on what you want to do?
this is the girl from my dreams
I’m doubting it’ll come true?
So until then I guess you’ll be just the girl that I never knew

Never said

I wish I was more lyrical
Or maybe it’s cause I’m so self concious you would be so critical
Then I could write a love poem that’s fictional cause honestly, I never been in love before
I’ve been in lust 3 times but I don’t think about those girls anymore
And I wish I can express my emotions in witty metaphors
But sometimes im overthinking so much it’s like I’m on a game show and I have to choose between 3 doors 
And I wish it wasn’t so hard for me to write
Despite all the thoughts running through my mind, I find it hard to put words between these lines
You might call it rhymes but I call it clearing out my mind
And the only memories I have of you are the bad times
I know god is kind but recently he’s only been giving me the bad signs
But it’s ok cause it gives me an excuse for writing
Maybe me and you didn’t work out cause I always seem to have bad timing
But what I’m finding is that in a room full of darkness you’re the only thing that’s shining
It seems like some of us are living different lives, were 2 timing 
Lost souls rarely seen across the surface of the looking glass
Some of us are passive, conform to the masses, only thinking about whats the latest fashion
Waiting for a magazine to design the latest style
When you dress your pain behind an empty smile
You think too much a feel too little
Attempting to read your thought is like trying to find the answer to a riddle
Trust me it’s not that simple
Constantly shooting me down like you’re firing the pistols
Bleeding out my regrets, from the thoughts in my head
Speaking these words like I’m confessing to the Feds
It seems like when I’m with a different girl, you pop up instead
Late night thoughts when I’m laying in my bed
I wish I could of told you what you really meant to me, but these will be the words I never said
