Down Hearted Verse 1

Every since our encounter
My life is a downer
I’ve turned to a frowner
Who struggles with hope to counter that

Don’t judge a book by its cover
But what I discovered when seeking a lover
Is she was bare under the paper back

With no sense of her wealth
Dispensing with self
Affecting her health
With almost every single act

But Im not the solution
To stop the pollution
The constant regrouping
The dropping and scooping
And taking back

So now I have to respond
By moving along
By proving her wrong
I proved right
That I am not the one

Still when I see her react
By feeling attacked
I want to retract
But I cannot keep intact the bond

And so it seems that its strange
Cuz now we’re estranged
Traveling lanes
With feelings in vein
But no overlap

But she could not understand
That me as a man
As strong as a I am
Cannot stand
To watch her collapse

Every since the day we met I’ve been down hearted baby

Verse 2

In wanting success
Adopted the stress
Jostled with tests
Was searching for more but ended up with less

Thought my home was a void
Was always annoyed
Seldom employed
Me and my boys
Hoping to make noise

But falling on ears that’s def
Seeing peers near to death
Wanted to steer clear with few years left

In my 20’s
Had mere glances
Near chances
Till fear of being obscure
Made me appear frantic

So in a panic
I dashed off
To Mass Law
Searching for a cure
For a dream deferred’ s glass jaw

Thought another degree
Would really just be
A way to turn
My not realistic
Into reality

And it exacted a cost
Still often I’m lost
Never better
But somehow worse still
For the plateau I crossed

Academic Anemic
When he’s not rapping he’s squeamish
He’s still searching for a purpose
tell me have you seen it

Hook (sample)
Every since the day we met I’ve been down hearted baby
Down Hearted Baby

So in conclusion
How soothing can a delusion be
If I am aware that its fake
Is it still real to me

I know some people
But not how they appear to me
The human body is really not sheer
But they were clear to me

Thought they were dear to me
Furthest thing from near to me
Standing side by side
But falling slowly to the rear of me

Which I aint understand cuz that’s my mans and them
Couldn’t comprehend jealously damning them
Or was it damning me
Seeing them with family
Cars with car seats
While I only had to plan for me

It wasn’t logical
Me with no obstacles
Them with otter popsicles
Baby Momma’s lots of bull

But they had lots of pull
House keys
Apartment Pools
Big TV’s
With DVD’s in their arsenal

I had hustle
But hustle don’t keep you warm at night
The cold game is it was me not conforming right
