CHALLENGER'S RAP

• Used to speak
• Sweet with sympathy, tease to mimic me
• Sunshine every line you ever sent to me
• Heaven sent, heavenly scent that later crippled me, shit
• Simple men don't learn, where was your empathy
• Couldn't see the fork in the road
• Kept straight forward, straight towards a humble abode we both hate more
• Now that I fumbled and folded that open letter said, dead men walkin' don't dream
• You taped yours, and you told me I could rent it
• Thought it was invented for my viewing pleasure
• Human error, the apprentice turned teacher, preacher turned God
• Couldn't reach ya, just a façade, the main feature
• Modified for blogs, podcast the past
• Hi-definition, she laughed, pass the message
• Now I'm guessin' that the jokes on me cause I'm the only one threatened
• The wretched by the windows sketchin'
• Pencil mural of the method, don't sweat it
• Techniques turnin', burnin' incense
• Listening to Billy burn my intent, definitive days that turn my nights to fiction
• Friction-less, just a pen tryna pimp this stress
• Cause I couldn't keep a lid on my life
• Naïve as the dry leaves on the ground
• Lookin' past the tree to the blue sky askin' "Why me?"
