I recall sitting in th back room
telling stories to my siblings
they were siting on the floor listening
inventively standing on every word
word I didn't have to say allegedly
or reputedly for I speaking facts
I had their attention the whole time
didn't need intermission I was so
entertaining they didn't wanna watch
television felt like a circus clown
trying to divert the crowd from the
sh** that was going down it was
always a elephant in the room
a monster in the house skeletons
in the closet couldn't get 'em out
bones on the table washing the
dishes solving problems making
decisions in the backyard training
pigeons to go and come flip and
roll witness something 3 years old
till this day never told a soul
didn't talk to ghost brag or boast
yung and responsible I talk like
I'm old I'm not I'm in my prime
in these times the time we're in
the time of life the test of time
it ain't the best still it ain't the
worse took some time broke
the curse no tanks for that no
pat on the back in the front
room telling stories to the
offspring still in the game
