"As the Mandarin Sun Sets"

The last of the "Shanghai Tapes"...all in an attempt to be a poet/artist. Back to reality during such challenging times. Therapy on display.

lyrics

Listen, this is,
Game 6, Pippin
D’Angelo, spittin’
Brown Sugar soul, drippin’

The veil’s my soul, hidden
Dr. Du Bois, written
Believe in life
the wisdom that the
ancestors givin’

What is your soul wishin’
in your mind’s prison
Revitalized mission
with my eyes steady dippin’

The demons chase me
The heathens hate me
Demigods ain’t me
they devour the saintly

She be my banshee
electric boogie who will move me
more than a Black Widow
who would love to just consume me

I’m duly noted
I truly wrote it
all these sanctified rhymes
that I’ve truly quoted
you know it

I know you know it
you are my focus
You’re a hypocrite
who’s always preaching the bogus

I know you know it
you just rule by fear
Many of peers have come
to me with their Amnesia Tears

Because you ain’t collaborative
your management style
negative with adjectives
so, I’m asking this

Why you causing
so much conflict
But, as I sleep, my dreams
develop into mosh pits…

You came with the moves
that were no-go
I came with the blues
and the solo

You stayed with the fools
who were slow-mo’
I stay with the game
and the logo

You lames ain’t really
that pro, though
Cheap shots who love
to do BOGO

This be that photogenic
effervescent
Anything you want
will always take some time, though

In time, though,
I hope you’ll be like
Rajon Rondo
Handing out assists towards
many goals and titles

So, hurry up, pronto
It’s time to change your ways
cause karma has a nasty habit
of overstaying its welcome

The tribe you ride with
they dislike this
guy you ride with
so why don’t we try this again, friend…

The tribe she ride with
they dislike this
guy she ride with
so, we rathers well try this again

These are your friends
like bullies in Shanghai
The type to leave you
high and dry with the
tears in your eyes

Collaborative my a$$
all about mandates fast
I hardly curse on record
but when it comes to you

I never “shuck and jive”
for imposters
All about the “gotcha”
the opposite of a doctor

Conceited, I see it
一直走 (yí zhí zǒu,), Ichigo
Did you know that
I came with a different
type of flow

Cause, though I am brave
vagueness is safety
Cause, people like you
would be reasons just
to hate me

Is it my race
Is it my age
Then again, I hear you
treat women the same way

The same way your forefathers
probably treated my ancestors
Micro-aggressive
in the hate that you fester

But, they allow it
Your superiors
could vote you
out of power if they
understand the integers

That’s whole equation
I’m not playing
You tried to scar me
like Obito when I’m
really Super Saiyan

Most bullies in Shanghai
got trauma enormous
that’s why they feel as
if it’s so important

To extinguish my flame
you better come the same way
I’m like her who runs away
runs away…

I disappear in the smoke…
