DEFENDER'S RAP

• I don’t take lightly to ridicule for attempting to be a good person, that’s why I sit in darkness
• And slowly try to nurse myself back to health, I’m on my shark biz
• Anxiety pops out of nowhere and decides to give me a quiz
• Electroconvulsive shocks bounce off each bone like pinball till’ my hair is poofy and frizzed
• It feels as if my road is coming to a close, but as long as I’m alive, I know there’s no dead end
• My high buoyancy allows me to tread life’s waters, I’ll never submerge or suspend
• I speak out against depression in attempt to make amends
• But sometimes like Aang, the air in my lungs gets bent
• Then I once again can’t speak, I hear a voice saying “you may only continue when allowed”
• But the human body can only take so much, I always rip the gag off and scream back aloud
• These mosquitos tried sucking my spirits dry until I projected myself like a TV and prowed
• Myself forward past insecurity so my parents could one day say they’re proud
• Like Lincoln you gotta be loud and assert dominance over your ailments, emancipate yourself
• And proclamate the sane membrane inside your brain so you don’t go insane, cause that’s just bad for your health
• I was draggin’ at first, but had to push emotions aside and tell em’ “oh welp” (whelp)
• Cause you gotta have a functioning mindset in order to bring in green, like Spongebob with kelp
• The cards life dealt me were a bad hand, but I’m no joker to games anymore, I got a full house to support me
• They allow me to jack my spirits up like an automechanic so I can eventually be set free
• And grow as a Phoenix born straight from the ground capable of of sprouting into the finest ash tree
• The world can no longer cut me off, like a pair of capris
