Humility Part II

It's funny how we all learn about humility
Some lessons not as poignant as others But some aren't as stoic as others
So maybe their lesson came and went
Money...spent
Clothes...lent
Emotions...sent
Via email
You know we all got them smart phones
Engaged to our hands
But like men they slip up
Like liquor in the cup
Just waiting to be drunk
Matter of time life gets its licks in
Sneaker heads know it
They gonna get they kicks in
Bj Penn
Silva
St pierre
Throw them hands and got some elbows mixed in
Life don't hold back
It goes back and brags about it
Yea I just whipped him
Life death and fate chilling playing super smash brothers
Trippin
Kirby link and mario pulling strings
No hittin
Listening to our plans and saying humans are wicked
Acting like they have control over shit
Sickening

I'm tryna meet Em
And tell Em how I found humility
We met on the corner of faith and heartbreak
Serendipity
at the time I was stuck between arrogance and tranquility
Standing tall in the face of life like
Obstacles were just Mannequins
You know
Life like
Any time a problem come
I Fight fight
Till you win
Then again
Nobody finished with a perfect career
Story ends
Then I spin
Around and see my mindset don't work
For here
There is no perfect
Success equals learning
And just to be sure I got the message
I got pulled down by the Cape
Now I'm guessing

As high as I fly there's always kryptonite
Walked like kings bowed to me
Then Exposed to the green shit
I ain't about that life
Worked on being the best
A labor of pride
But life has no mouth to warn you
Fate no ears to hear your lies
Death no eyes to see your cries
Their plan don't change just cuz you wanna play the game
Shit
They been mario link and Kirby since the beginning of time
Fuck ya plans got over the divine?
Not a damn thing not even a simile
You think you superman
Heres kryptonite
Now that's some humility

iAdmit...

always knew it wouldnt be shits and giggles forever
at some point we'd be giggling shits for better or worse
coerced into being just under the completion percentage
at a century see her and me
told nothing was perfect
so striving for the 99th percentile
seemed worth it

see, cole gave me the catalyst
to tell this story cats have missed
and its imperative
it come out with directness
cuz as i vibe im transported back to them days
like 08
when i was feening for it straight
on the tip of my tongue your essence
i wanted to chase

but shit was real
cuz i was in a situation where happiness was a tuesday-thursday kinda thing
but it made sense to my monday-wednesday-friday brain
damn
what about the weekends?
and im going thru life like i thought i should have
living out dreams that were 5 years old
on paths that had me places i thought i should be
tracing, tip taping along them lines of duality
until they got crossed like Malcolm
and she gave me a taste
mine as well gave me a hand full of spades

heard that song and instantly knew it was a classic
then in my contrarian way
i downplayed it
she had me on some longest crush eva type shit
freshmen year sophomore year
settling
for other chicks
got me up all night
contemplating my life
asking myself do i wanna be tuesday thursday type happy
incomplete
sitting round playing love songs like i was case studying

now my peoples knew my situation and thought it was cool
and im still scared to ruffle feathers
so im playing big bird trying to please everybody
mind still wondering back
like when hip hop had its shit together
im telling myself you cant fight city hall
the establishment runs shit
why go against it

dont let your heart life block
my current chick e&j
but she...ciroc
goes down smooth and thanks me for drinking
this shit deeper then it being cold outside and needing someone to bun
my current chick insignia
but she....samsung
her tats tell of beauty and growth
id be happy to kiss them slowly slow
decision made
hard to be with someone so long and then let them go
my last chick old ass PC
but her...macbook pro
and im punch drunk
head spinning
mind wheeling
brain hurting
heart thumping
seeing stars
my life like a bag of bats
shit crazy
im down in this pit tryna see the sanity that sat above
then it occurred to me

to ask

"would you believe me if i said im in love?"

what?

known her for years but that shit hit like a ton of bricks
and i start spazzin
thinking them useless females' attention would make me snap out of it
like ima fill my heart with the approval of lesser chicks
but her essence still just wouldnt go away
and here we are

"had me up all night....
all im singing was love songs"

and im really down with singing em more
writing more love poems
cuz i cant take that tuesday thursday type love
i thought id be good with the status quo like tax time
but shit with my last chick was like studying poetry for years then
finally learning the meaning of rhyme
useless
she gives me purpose
and everyday i cant help but ask myself

"would you believe me if i said im love?"
hell yes
