Playing Me

You know I thought you was strong.

But it seems you were playing me all along,

You're one more face in the throng

Somehow, I thought you was strong.

I managed to figure you wrong

Posing that cliché of young and dumb

While you rapped my feelings like a song

Last time it worked, this time it bombed.

If I Fail

If I fail 💔

You'll find bombs 💥in your mail 💌,

And I, gone without blazing a trail. 🛣️

I got the tiger 🐅 by the tail,

And I don't care if it showers 🌧️hail.

If I don't get this float ⛵to sail, 🌊

Ama get 🔫 you even if you's in jail 

Or when I spy 🕶️ you coming

Home 🏡 after you post bail.💰

I just got to get my sumthin'

And I'm not one to wail. 😭

I'll ride 🚲 this one-way train 🚂

Against the grain🌾

Or it's chain⛓️ you to the rail.

So if I fail, 

I'm coming down⬇️on you

Like sledgehammer 🔨on nails.

No blackouts,🌑 no interludes. 📺
