Born From Ashes

Signed... The Dreamer

By Steve James LockhurstPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I was forged in brimstone

I was born from the ashes

looked back at my past

set light to the matches

left the anger behind

now I look for compassion

my fingers are magic

spreading it to the masses

I paid my dues

and I paid taxes

they are massive

like a chamber, gases

with every word I write

the surface scratches

time to fill the holes

I'm creating patches

I will starve myself

to spread the rations

mixing words together

in immaculate fashion yeah.

I shine like gamma

king of the alpha

I swim with sharks

you swim with Purana

get in your own lane

I'm pushing forward fast

there's no catching me

I will always outlast

never gassed,

like a cannon blast

I'm forever young

so I will ever-last

so advanced

combat

while I extract

the contract

lyrics impact

the masses

having trouble keeping up

get yourself some glasses I'm done..

Signed... The Dreamer
