Owned by no man

I’m a Lost man from the middle of nowhere.

I’ve never done drugs and I’ve lost all my hair.

 Yeah so, I’ve been here, and I’ve done that

Shot at, blown up, heard the Doc yell STAT.

Lost some good brothers and cried my heart out

But now I’m just RAGING while I SCREAM and SHOUT

I can’t believe the state of this land I’m seeing

I’ve grown to hate every single human being

Every False Prophet thinks their word is the gospel

Spitting in your face, expecting you not to get hostel

Without your crowd you can’t do it on your own

Without a crowd you’re scared and leave it alone

Where I’m from REAL men don’t have to be shown

No talk, they act, because they are in a league of their own

They handle their business without ever picking up the phone.

Unless it’s to move somebody that won’t make it home.

I surround myself with people that live by a creed.

If you don’t have the backbone get behind  me!

We never give up

We never give in

If you don’t have my back

Then the currency we call friendship is spent

If you’re going to say something about me or them

Then you’re going to reap what you sow in the end.

True friends are loyal, honest, and have integrity.

Imposter’s that front are going to feel the severity

Of my truth in your face as painful as breaking bones

Tuck your tail between your legs and hobble home

If you can’t run with the big dogs this place isn’t your home.

You shouldn’t run your mouth if you’re as fragile as glass

Cause I stay quiet until I relive my past

Drag your soul through MY memories

Let you experience the dark sin’s inside of me.

You’ll feel abandoned as you watch me walk away.

Reenactment of my trauma is what I’m trying to convey

Ethnicity doesn’t matter

We’re all made of dust and mixed together

Styrofoam tray or silver platter

When life gets real, civilians  scatter

memories fade, but our mindset truly matters

your inequities show through your price tags

People Talking nice to your face, not knowing who I am

Evaluate your circle and see what it lacks

Take the less traveled path, and be owned by no man!
