Overstanding

[Buddah MAC]

overstood what I could 'til I saw where that leads
last man standing looking down where my deeds
let yall down under as I got over,
left yall ground under and I'm up to snatch the clover
off your grave, 4 leaves of luck lifted
before I leave duck the dead stares I'm gifted
by those below portioned in lots to blossom fortune
for those who left them there to rot, coursing
boiling blood, well, would be if heart pumping
had it broken when love left for sumthing
beyond what they could offer, left 'em cold
nothing that they proffered could keep a hold
even off death grip fists, walked on without them
coattails tugged enough, began to even doubt them
being real, feel something behind me
checkin' the time reminds me, no spare tic for rewinding
finding that mindset causing coffin contortions
rolling over like Rover as I footprint their portion
of earth and offer no treat for the trick
adds to their anger as their hallowed home sticks
to the bottom of my shoe, no disrespect intended
but stomping on ceilings, can't see they're offended
for as I moved on and they played my yesterdays
they had their tomorrows that my thoughts never gave
and as the rest laying claimed 'em, I ain't around to name 'em
so buried with no marker and I'm deaf to their exclaimin'
as they scream for me to honor their memory
if I knew, I would, and even more, I should
have done it back when I was standing even with 'em
take 'em with me and deny this solitary prison
