Cold Coffee & War Plans
• Written by DreadfulMenace
Cold coffee, war plans on the desk
Dark thoughts pourin' while the world gets rest
I don't dream, I design, every move been a test
I ain't chasin' no crown, I just came for respect
Ash on the page, fingerprints on the glass
Plotting empires in silence, let the moment pass
While they post for the gram, I just draft and dash
Got the future in the folder and the past in the trash
Paranoia in the steam, blueprints in my stare
Every line been a lesson, every breath been a dare
They don't see the work, just results in the air
But the nights I ain't sleepin', that's the throne I wear
Got scars that I study like maps of the soul
Learned peace ain't passive, it's takin' control
Wrote a thousand little battles on a half-ripped scroll
And still drafted verse ten while the first one sold
I play chess in the storm, think clear in the blur
Speak less in the room, but my silence occurs
Every sip is a sermon, every bar is a stir
Cold coffee, war plans, I prefer it like this sir
