Ma Thoughts As I Pick Ma Hair
Ice13urg
Kevin Straughter


Bein around u I felt so elated,
Dat ma knowledge of yo nature is oh so belated.
Everyone said cut u out of ma life;
Took me too long to see what was so trife.
Gotta purge some things out of ma life,
And I've arrived at the conclusion that I pick you.
Eliminating the pointless is how the manes of wisdom grew….
Now don get me wrong, ur apart all of me:
ma world
an ma soul,
But now I understand the hole,
You’re sort of like a mole,
The space I thought u filled will jus make a hole.
It's no wonder I feel I need you to be whole.
Ma head is da tree,
you’re like a leaf in fall, all crimson an red,
so wat I'm sayin is get the fuck out of ma head!
