Rich Pauper, Poor Prince

Some new lyrics in the works...

I find /beauty in the little inconsistencies in life
_ no hesitations got me up late nights
_ I shed a tear because the struggle got me here
and with/out it, I wonder what I might be like

_ some type of lifeless, loveless mess
hand /caught on the temptress' dress, I digress
_ but it's about time to free that mind
mean that rhyme and be that shine, so one time


I'll be the /_ rich pauper _ the poor prince
and if the /shoe fits, I'll probably cop it soon as I can pay rent
_ collect the payment at the end of my day
and praise /God because He made me this way





and it's a /struggle .,. I got a lot I want to say
sounds of /silence got em talking away, "it's okay"
_so try to play me like a broken Nintendo
it /won't work .,. no matter how how dope these men blow

See me at the show and say hello, nod a head at me, fel/low
and we can meet up on the sidewalk and flow
try talking slow, but my jargons quick
and thick like asphalt, hot making it stick

_ pockets full of lent _ rockets heaven bound
_ jot the betterment _ God sent, leather bound
_ not significant _ I'm not better now
_ got the rhythm it's magnificent whatever sound

_ off and on, _ lost and gone
_ found in town pounding mountains down to lawns
_ surrounding pawns _ flanking fakes
_ the clowns are wrong so I _raise the stakes


To be the/_ rich pauper _ the poor prince
and if the /shoe fits, I'll probably cop it soon as I can pay rent
_ collect the payment at the end of my day
and praise /God because He made me this way



_ Who got the right to first refuse it in this music
listen /cool kids I ain't stupid, I improve with time and prove it
rhyming /fluent climbing through it till I'm standing on the top
_ a new year, and you can't wait to hear the bomb drop

_ so who's dropping the ball, I'm still on top of it all
_ rhyming more proper than ya'll finding on top at the mall
_ still you coppin them all, flailing and floppin
in fall/ fashion .,. yo is that what you call smashin?

_ I'm all passion, and blastin the fiberglass
like cars /crashing from driving too fast, you find the rhyme and you laugh
_ It's prime time that you ask and do math,
cuz you /rapping is a flag at half mast, true dat

_ with boom bap, yo who's that they say he need
a new /hat and yo his shoes are too old but he's cold
when he flaps jaw raps he haw you play the ass
crack a /joke and stay literate, ill and plus legitimate

_ you get it yet? it's a sentence for life
run /on and tell that, and autotune your new life
_ you do right, I do like I know best
and praise /God I got a treasure in my chest, aw yes


I'll be the /_ rich pauper _ the poor prince
and if the /shoe fits, I'll probably cop it soon as I can pay rent
_ collect the payment at the end of my day
and praise /God because He made me this way




_ so what's my net worth? unknown and unheard
repping open microphone sessions still blessin with
One /Word, One Truth, One Life, One Way
one /Lover of my soul, ill so no other would stay

_ "no wonder he sways when the wind blows," they say
"come on over here and learn to walk this way, " but wait
You oppress the poor with your political support
and beg to differ claiming morals got you doing it some more

_ see I'm all for Life like no other
_ I think a solid family's one father and one mother
_ but when you start talking political your story gets
pre/dictable and ripped with holes you tore in your own brothers

_ give more to the poor, or watch the welfare rates soar
ex/tend arms to the woman your law labeled a whore
love labor is giving birth to old truth for new life
and /many want to sing the song, so few that get the tune right


To be the /_ rich pauper _ the poor prince
and if the /shoe fits, I'll probably cop it soon as I can pay rent
_ collect the payment at the end of my day
and praise /God because He made me this way
