From beginning to end
to end to beginning
the image ain’t faded
it’s only the people
who in it

So, smile for the camera
at least this once
and think about the memories
that now turn to rust

Think for a second
‘bout everything
in your mentions
Think for a second
‘bout everything
in introspection

Think for a second
‘bout everything
that you’ve lost
and everything we forgot
before our second thought

Realize thinking is
a lost art
realize thinking ain’t
dreaming while woke

I hope you realize that
I’m thinking about
how to defrost hearts
who thinking
that I’m sinking
into sequins
of the sweet tarts

I thought I double crossed
your mind more than once
logic and reason don’t apply
to whatever “It” was

I’m thinking my ink blinks
lost in the game of chicken
I think back on the tracks
that I wrote now I’m reminiscing

You think I’m awful
not the thoughtful
person in my raps
Well, hell,
Old Friends 4 Sale
never thought of that

Realize reason and thinking
can causes the lost in thought
to be caught off guard
we are who we are
so, have a heart

From beginning to end
to end to beginning
the image ain’t faded
it’s only the people
who in it

So, smile for the camera
at least this once
and think about the memories
that now turn to rust

You thinking I’m speaking
about you
You thinking I’m scheming
aren’t you
You thinking that I’m keeping
secrets
early in the evening
believing, aren’t you

You thinking you
know my thoughts
I’m thinking
I assume too much
I’m thinking opinions
are always twisted
on our own bias

Oops, I thought I said
“by us”
Never thought this would
end like this

This is what happens
when abstraction shrinks
The ruminations of how
I think in ink

Look, heh
The hangouts
the hang-ups
and even the hangovers
are the products
of our cold shoulders

I’m thinking maybe
this will entice you
Phantosmia
in the image of
your perfume

The Light Blue
Dolce Vita
when I Wonder U
Signing blues on the moon
while hitting snooze on the move
as I chase dreams

Jean said your lips
are copper wire
When I think of you
I think Chicago
with that proper fire
Your genius so Oppenheimer

From beginning to end
to end to beginning
the image ain't faded
it’s only the people
who in it

So, smile for the camera
at least this once
and think about the memories
that now turn to rust
