Slay These Demons

no sleep, no relaxation

haven’t touched down in the crib since five this morning

no food, no water

i have been cleansing my dormancy

no tears, no empathy

i started to turn heartless

no peace, no silence

my eardrums have been rattling by your chatter

it’s time for me to slay these demons

i said that you can’t live in my body no more

why are you still here, i don’t know but

you’re about to move out, you got thirty days to relocate

or else, you know that i ain’t playing

don’t tell me dat’ i never gave you any notice

ever since we lived under the same roof, it’s been nothing but quarrels

fussing over who gets to vacuum the floor, wash the dishes

cook dinner, make up the beds, do the laundry

leave it to me, i don’t need you anymore

this home was never plentiful whenever you were around, u wrecked it with a bulldozer

tore down the structure of our bonds, we never got along

it was always about what you wanted, never wanted to make any compromises

we parting ways now, had enough of you

we parting ways now, don’t serve me no more

it’s time for me to slay these demons

better things are happening in my life right now, about to get up outta my momma’s house

on my way to a world that i didn’t think would exist, let alone i’d become part of

you just wait until what the faculty at Kean see what i’ve created

Maliki Raymond’s son

the best writer from the Bricks who exists in the 21st century

i got a treasure trove of valuables, i spent years working on it all

i lost countless friends, followers, and potential lovers because i openly devoted myself to all this

you know what i’m referring to, that’s all right though

look at how successful it has made me, it’s going to keep pushing me

those same people who left me out in the rain are going to be the ones trying to get underneath the umbrella

by then, you be done missed me

too late, idiot now get soaked you peasant

it’s time for me to slay these demons

may you rest in peace

may you never walk alongside me again

may you wither away without any regret

and no, you won’t be missed

watch how i hog spit on your gravestone

it’s time for me to slay these demons
