The moment when you’re feeling down

Giving up don’t come to mind….

We get the kick to jump around

Right behind our mind that’s fine….

We think about our superheroes

Save the world from losing hope….

Pay that bag man full of zeros

Save a life I find that dope….

Times are tough It’s getting rough

Had enough don’t call my bluff

Find a way to up my weight too

Why don’t I just take a puff

Can’t do wrong boo If I have to

I’ll feed myself until I huff

All my weight go up and down

But I know I’m getting tough

Through all the struggles

I kinda juggled

What was the dream I got so puzzled

Mouth was muzzled was kinda baffled

In the end went through the troubles

Might sound silly what I say

Free Willy any day

Watched them movies eating cookies

Learnt alot stayed out from roofies

Call It crazy but won’t phase me

Need the pep talk along the way

Am I lazy? I’m Captain Haychie

That’s a story for another day

I seek for freedom with all the wisdom

I pray my way for me to stay

Either feed him or cause a problem

Ain’t no way I’m here to play

Might have time for fun and games

Writing rhymes and taking names

Am I to blame? Man that’s so lame

I’ll use my flame forget the fame

I did my searching and I’m surging

To be the best that I can be….

Why I’m lurking head keeps hurting

Found myself to a degree….

All them years I kept on building

Ain’t talking about bodybuilding

My mental strength not mental health

Is that why I’m good at lifting

Bones are growing when I’m flowing

Take a look coz I’ll be showing

Worked for me It will work for you

Don’t tell me I don’t have a clue

Having faith Is what we need

Keep stacking up those deeds Indeed

Yes Indeed not Need for Speed

I’m un the ground like Assassins Creed

Time to feed my heart not bleed

Plant my seed and allow the greed

Take your thyme not waste your time

Smell that freshness bun the weed

Just listen closely honestly

Proud to come from poverty

I saw my vision properly

Came down to consistency

With the pep talk around my block

Beat the case for holding a glock

Looking back with blessings B

Standing strong for my family
