industry (interlude)

sammie

i gave my all to her three times

invested years in her

shed tears for her

but deep down inside when i looked in to her eyes i seen a

major fire that was ignited

my dreams distorted my vision so instead of seein the obvious

percussions i should have taken was replaced with excitement

false hope helped me cope with the fact that her love and

my love would never be the same

shes corrupted i'm not

shes cold and i'm hot

and anything of importance she can care less about she say

oh i'm sorry baby i forgot

and i be like damn

i stay up for you

lose sleep for you

rehearse my dialog put a melody to it and when it was just right i sing for you

i perform for you

fly through storm for you

not eat get sick no sleep let you pick where and when and how

i gave my all to you

stress beyond imagine

so for confident to get away i discovered a guilty pleasure

that consisted of liquor in a bottle

conversations without substance

try to go deep wit her but her plot is a model

shakin my head at her

how could i be mad at her

searchin for love in the club is insane and i'm sane so i should know better

wheres the ambition

whats the mission

why isn't she working a decent job just to help out with the tuition

i wonder

but i lower my standards and precede to undress her later

and let her take me under

damn

she got me on in

when i reflect when i had a choice not to let the ink bleed from the pen

but i signed in

i lost my brotha to greed

he tried to kill me and res-erect him in attempt to be me

he was mad that i'm famous and the one on tv

but i never cared for fame that's just beneath me

back on the subject

i went through hell for her

lost my world for her

no privacy no piece of mind cant even fuck my old girl for her

my mom was right though she said that this would happen

ill love you so deeply and when i got me you would leave me

now all i have is my pen and my pad and my thoughts

what about a house and our private outdoor

and the bills that we accumulated together

its all on me and all you can say is whatever

cool ill take that

all i ask is for my freedom

hell my name you can take that

god gave me the gift but mankind thinks he owns it

by the way her name is industry

and i'm sick of her shit

i disown it
