My Nemesis
is dying
My nemesis is dying
Her brain cannibalizing itself
Chewing up and swallowing her
Essence and soul like a
Hunger crazed bird of prey
Picking at a slimy, rotting carcass on the side of the road
Grabbing and twisting and tearing apart
Everything her soul once cherished
Everything she claimed she stood for
Denying her the chance to look
Back at her life and possibly feel
Remorse for the pain she has caused to
Me and the others she claimed to love
A love drenched in selfishness and rampant ego
She is now locked in the dark oblivion
Deep in the caverns of self-denial
She’ll never say ‘I’m sorry.”
She’ll never ask for forgiveness
And I can’t find it in my heart to feel
Anything but relief as her light fades away
Allowing others to heal from her cruelty
My nemesis is dying

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
