lyrics

The Payback
listen to
the audio
that plays that

Listen to
the audio
that plays back
all the memories
that I’ll take back

All the memories
that are luscious
Everything we need
can be rustic

Everything we need
Don’t you trust it
Everything you read
is comeuppance

Trust it
Touch it
My hear is here
Don’t you love it

What is peace
without justice
I’m not at peace
without justice

Okay,
everything I say
is intense
everything I say
now represents
all of the dreams
that you professed

All of the dreams
that you professed
everything you said
in your conquest
I guess all your games
are a contest

And, I’m Dennis Rodman
Ejected…Rejected
New lessons…New blessings…
I’m not going to mention

How you used
to use me
and then said
you loved me
to fool me

Foolish me I
couldn’t be
what you had
wanted me to be

I’m clueless, see
couldn’t see
the forest for
the trees we leave

How could it be
Why can’t it be
For you and me
in unity

I truly be
what you will need
In Ensenada…
Diamonds Bleed…

Bleed…Bleed
Bleed me
Leave me
Bleed me
See me
She’s me
She’s me
Misery…

Misery
loves company
Can’t you understand
luscious me

Don’t you
understand luxury
I understand if
it were up to me
you and I
would be something ‘G

I’ve lost my patience
because of statements
that they would
make so often taken

Out of line and
out of time
The canvas falls
no more disguise

All
are analyzed
by those who crossed
the battle lines

Pocket full of M&M’s
you cherry picked
Hard in the Heart
like the very pit

Containing cyanide…Johnny Appleseed, so, 2 Can Dine…

I want to remember your name…
I want to remember our games…
I want to remember your ways…
How the voice split lightening like blades…

Things have changed over time
But it’s all good for 2 Can Dine…yes, 2 Can Dine…

I was never given the
benefit of the doubt
even as a feminist about
equality ‘cause
first and foremost
I’m a Black Man
and, more or less,
we’re seen with criminal intent

So, I guess it’s easier
and less stress
to marry someone who’s
not the opposite

But it’s funny
as much as they criticize
my family would never
wanna see you cry

And neither would I
at this point in time
Peep the vernacular
spectacular a fool of a mind

I was wasting time
and I understand I know
If I knew what I knew
what I know now
5 years ago…I wouldn’t never let go…
