Dream to Reality

Fast forward and rewind, at the same time

In front and behind, on a steady climb, and I'm

In a world with no signs, bounderies or fine lines

An existence with no limit, where an hour = a minute

So stick with it until you make it

And take it but don't forsake it

There are reasons for why things happen

Like why I'm so good at rappin'

Your future depends on choices

So choose it like I did music

And use it before you lose it

Choose that one thing

That makes you wanna bring

A reality from a dream, and live your fantasy

Be all that you can be

But as for me, I'm gonna see

What it takes, to set me free

The harder path and the uphill struggle

But I can juggle, my heavy load

While I tiptoe through the road

Walk the tightrope eyes closed

Hold my breath 'til I reach the end

And on my skill I will depend

To complete my mission

And finish in first position

Never Too Far

There was a point in my life when I lost all my fear

And the answers to questions became perfectly clear

But inside of a mirror I saw someone who looked dissimilar

To the person of whom I’m now vaguely familiar

Your face is a reflection of the secrets to your mind

So look at me and try to see what answers you can find

I only wish that I could slow down and turn it around

Until that someone inside of me I used to be was finally found

I’d hear the sounds/of a flashback to my past

And wonder how the time slowly passes by so fast

But in that moment when you’re stepping out onto the ledge

And your conscience is about to tread right over the edge

You see your future flash in front of your own dim eyes

And you realize/you already know what to do

The answer was always there standing in front of you

And maybe who you once were isn’t too far away

And all you have to do is do the right thing today

So come back around and put your feet back on the ground

Learn to survive/discover how to live your life

Overcome your complications and surmount each strife

Be thankful for what you have and content with who you are

And what you want in life will never be too far

Insomniac

Insomnia: The prolonged inability to take due sleep

That’s the eccentricity that I keep

How I dream to fall keen on a deep, deep siesta

After eating covetously a full-size fiesta

But instead of a rest up/my head is just messed up

I’m in and out of sleeping/till my alarm starts beeping

And the clock makes out ten/I missed my chance again

I’m a freak, I can’t sleep and that’s just a hallucination

A figment of imagination, this delusion of conking out

Goin’ out with a dream about/bein’ hit by a stout clout

But I count my seven hundred and thirty first sheep

I’m lying in bed, shooting for just a wink of sleep

Yeah that’s the eccentricity that I keep

I’m an Insomniac, a maniac, it’s jacked up that

My head’s so whacked and I’m mad capped

From no catnaps, I need to crash and not come back

‘Cause all I want to do is just catch a few ‘z’s.

I’m down on my knees begging Sandman please

I’m like “G, what’s the matter with me, just let me be”

But he’s never answered me/not a solitary plea

So now I’m left with no choice but to knock myself out

Like a lout, with that stout clout that I was talkin’ about

I’ll have to smack myself on the cranium with a crack

And never will this Insomniac be comin’ back

Fatty

All day Fatty ate and all night Fatty ate

Hoisting and heaving his hazardous weight

Putting 2^nd’s and 3^rd’s and 4^th’s on his plate

He made sure that he ate all the food he could eat

He ate bread from white to wheat

Meat from red to brown

He ate all the meat in the whole dang town

Fee Fi Fo Fatty

I think Fatty wants another hamburger patty

One day Fatty was so hungry that he

Cleared out Gatti Town along with Mr. Gatti

Since last November Fatty’s LB’s have doubled

Dairy Queen and Burger King have been turned into rubble

Farmer John’s Corn Stalks have been cleared into stubble

The Nation is in agricultural trouble

An economical issue, a technological halt

A political breakdown, and it’s all Fatty’s fault

We really need to look at this problem sincerely

Cuz Fatty is reaching five hundred and nearly

The size of a hot air balloon on New Years Day

If you popped him he’d whistle and slowly float away

But wait turn on the TV and flip to Fox News

There’s a banner saying “Fatty’s Got Pounds to Lose!”

Cuz the people of Texas are starting a riot

They all want Fatty to go on a diet

The Infamous Attack

Allow me to start the timer

I’m cleverer than MacGyver

Let me pick up my weapon and get to work

Beam me up Scotty, its Captain Kirk

I’ll set this off like a stack of dominos

I’m a fugitive running from Tommy Jones

Don’t try to keep up, you'll look like a sucker

Man don’t act like you know me, I’m Chris Tucker

I’ve got more clout than Buda

I’ll roll out! like Luda

Sink a hole in one like Happy Gilmore against Shoota'

Leader of one of the 12 tribes, you can call me Judah

Now that my identity's known

I’ve gotta relocate ‘cause my cover is blown

But I bet you didn’t know I had a backup plan

My real name’s not Clark Kent, it’s Superman

And like the Deputy Dog, I’ll take a bite out of crime

We’ll make Captain Planet with our powers combine

But you can’t tell anybody what I’m talkin’ about

You’ve gotta keep this covert op. on the low down, no doubt

I work for a government agency called Men in Black

And when I flash you with a neuralizer you won’t remember jack

Except for a whack rap called the Infamous Attack

So as Schwarzenegger once said, I’ll be back

Blinded

Alone/left with his thoughts and nothing else

Overcoming loneliness takes over/his heart melts

And he's thinking/what it would be like to do normal things

If he could see he'd be QB for the Varsity Football team

With a new beginning

A chance to be born with perfect vision

He'd take all the right chances and make all the right decisions

He'd try all the things that he's never seen

He'd beat the 100 meter record by the time he was eighteen

If God would only grant him his sight

He'd make a difference in the world/he'd do everything right

But it's so hard for him to change/or look on the bright side

Or have any faith without having his eye-sight

So when his last daydreams fade away

And he’s alone at the end of the day

His lost hope turns into a desperate prayer

And he asks God why life is so unfair

A Walk Down the Avenue

put on your coat

wrap a scarf around your throat

take a walk down the avenue

this is what you always do

you say the weather's nice

I think it's cold as ice

but you always pay the price

to watch the sunrise

this is what it buys

a front row seat

to see with your own eyes

the morning light of the sun

illuminating the sky

and when the afternoon has passed

and long shadows are cast

it'll set on the other side

and dissapear in the night

that's when you'll watch the sunset

it hasn't come quite yet

but I've got my watch set

to go with you tonight

and see if you were right

those beautiful rays of sunlight

seeping off the edge of the earth

darkening the world

this is what I've heard from you

when you walk down the avenue

The Beach

Shells on the ground, kites in the air

Feeling the wind blow through ur hair

Sunlight heats the grains of sand

This time we're havin' it jus grand

Let's go swim with the fish in the sea

There's no other place that I’d rather be

Sun comes up and the rays come down

Heatin ur body till the skin is brown

Put on ur shades and apply the lotion

Lay on ur towel and enjoy the ocean

Those giant waves from the mighty deep

Crash on the shore as you fall asleep

Rhyme Makin' Machine

why I'm writing this poem I do not know

the words pour out of me in a never-ending flow

too fast/wait

I'm tryin to get my head straight

musta been somethin I ate

cuz I got an every-muscle-in-my-body ache

and I'm wide awake

only able to spit out these words I bake

from scratch

like throwin' in a cookie batch

so crisp and clean

I'm like this rhyme makin' machine
