Reality

lyrics

I rip twisted sides of me
Just to be free
Of my empty exempting L-I-F-E
I try to cancel my number
And forget my name
Cuz I'm to blame
If my game
Is trained to find fame
Sane is not as plain
As you might expect
Cuz you gotta act crazy
If you wanna catch wreck
No regrets except
If your not hearing the next
Mic check from Lefspek
Coming correct
The souls of my vans
Are tasting asphalt
While of the soul of this man
Is facing mental assault
For a time it locked me down
But now I opened the vault
Add a sting to the sound like vinegar and salt

Transforming matter
Like paper from pulp
To connect your heads and toes
Like a somersault

I'm coming from my own reality
It's mine alone so frown or smile at me
Yo I'll hold it down so the sound keeps unique
Context till the next
Time we meet

I face freakiness
When I place this on pages
Cuz the creepiness
Of existence keeps chasin'
The logic of my mind in time and space
I wanna tell the truth now
With no need to erase
So my rhyme finds facts
To build my case
So I can break the shit down
Like a solo on bass
Remember what I say
Before you recall my face
Then I know I turned it out
Without being replaced
I'm about as underrated as honesty
And who's my worst critic?
Yo c'mon it's me
But with every rhyme I write
I feel more free
And connect to respective
Destiny

Negative shit
Is always tempting me
Away from a life
Meant to be exemplary
To block out and lock
Spot fought mentally
And to stop all the thoughts
That God has sent to me
It divides my time
Like the turn of a century
Everything I learn seems to burn
With intensity
Lighting up my life
Like a new forming entity
Some say “Life is mine”
Now I see that it's lent to me
To hold a bit of time
To be spent intentionally
Making love to my world
Inter-dimensionally
Mind body and soul
With exact contempt for thee
Blackness that in fact just
Wants to empty me
Of the elements that I keep defensively
Like war on my life and I'm in the trenches deep
With automatic rounds
To pound the sound till I dent the beat
With automatic rounds to pound the sound till I dent the beat
