Lyrical Analysis of...
A Pen Pal
- I wrote this from a distance, call me a pen pal
- It's so bittersweet because it has been a while
- I bet you're still burnt, the fire is in your wounds
- You can't remove the dark side, I am the moon
- You are the sun, and I remember days
- I would ab sorb so much energy from your rays
- The concerns of my mind would find another place
- My soul and the sun occupied the same space
- For a moment, I let her in
- And then, who would have known it?
- The true colour of her heart
- She done shown it
- What fragile pieces I had left
- She done blown it
- I write this from a distance, now a days we are pen pals
- And it is bittersweet, cause babe it's been a while
- I bet you're still burnt, it won't leave your wounds
- You try to remove the dark side, I am the moon
- You are the sun, I remember the blaze
- I would ab sorb so much energy from your rays
- When I looked in your eyes this Hell was a better place
- I would forget entirely about time or space
- ___
- This is the start
- The start of the end
- I planted all my seeds
- The growth of trees begins
- Never needed a guide
- I wrote it myself
- This is a dedication
- To the women in my past
- All the time they took from me
- Like my hours was cash
- Before I had never felt such a strong desire
- So strong it could turn a man blind to the liar
- In a race through the heat don’t get caught by the fire
- Don’t let the bridges you cross turn into bridges you burn
- J. Cole said once I ain’t say it again
- I walk alone down these roads filled with homeless and hoes
- I reflect on yesterday and design tomorrow
- I escaped the Titanic, my peers drown in their sorrow
- I reinvent myself until the version is final
- Escaped the war zone with two or three of my soldiers
- And let one round off for all of those who didn’t make it
- The socioeconomic ladder has a couple rungs missin’
- At the bottom, take a step and you’ll start slippin’
- When we get to the top
- We will remember your name
- And while you’re still at the bottom
- I hope to God that you pray
- Cause even at the top of things this life is still wicked
- My brothers have no faith in our so called leaders
- My sisters have lost faith in our so called feeders
- But I haven’t lost my faith in all of the above
- The love will out last I keep it alive every day
- But still my brothers sleep on concrete pavement
- America’s chain is strong but the links are all weak
- All I can do is give my all every time that I speak
