Its been years since I had done so little,
years since my mind was so brittle,
decades since I found that road down the middle,
centuries since my people learned to be civil,
days since I last had a penny earned,
weeks since I last got hurt,
months since I last spit a verse,
years since I had a lesson learned,
I often write when I find the time,
I'm lying, I never have the time to rhyme,
I'm trying, but the words are hard to find,
I'm crying, cause I swear I'm losing my mind,
With pride I would wave it as a banner,
it was once an unquestioned answer,
but now its sumthin I can't handle,
a prognosis of Soul Cancer,
My lungs are weak, they can't breathe,
My heart is weak, it refuses to beat,
My tongue is weak, it won't speak,
My eyes are weak, they can't see,
No worries, thats all old news,
Now I'm forced to make weak muscles move,
Forced to make a point that wasn't proved,
Forced to win, cause I forgot how lose,
I write to write what I once wrote,
to spit what Max called Gunsmoke,
to bring back what I need and know,
I need no cure, just hope....
