Tajai Katana - The Consiglieré's Choice

Damn pops how can I watch you in pain
When you gotta watch yo moms wither away on her cane
I know it come wit old age but we all shouldn't feel ashamed
Frustrated by these feelings yo siblings create a cage
Between themselves and each other in this later stage
Of life where our life is a light in the shade
But I'm like it's alright but it's ice in the gaze
As I write am I right To incite on this page
An incendiary thought that's ablaze
l feel comfort in its flames But now we no longer feel the same
It's like underground cave systems connect by chains of darkness
While I pray it won't send you I selfishly want the change
We all gotta take on Stacey but where do we place the blame
Is it fair to share the fair share of hate and disdain
Even if I bought a plane can't get on a leveled plain
Wit yo peoples and you family that peddled yo last name
Let them tell it a derivative of agony it came
A soliloquy of silence and crack cocaine
Left to you to clean those stains I guess the after effects
Had a lasting effect on yo first and last kids brain
Everybody either displaced or estranged
Not to mention our financial stability is strained
Still humility remains futility is utilized in games
But when life then becomes one you become LeBron James
Perhaps the one that's clinically diagnosed insane
Could be padded in an injury free white enclosed frame
Still the mental can't be tamed unless the spirit has been slain
Only a few can refrain in this fam from the devils fame

Is it Genetic Coding inheritance or a phase?
Does that make us the predators we ain't giving no praise
Is this just his conviction we in the wrath of his rage
Of him and us we afraid so being black is a plagued
But giving trust to strays is bringing us back enslaved
But now that's a way when yo safest zone is deranged
In yo home a road has been paved in vain of the unsaved
Even through the scabs and scars you the one that stayed unscathed
How would you feel while you laid a killer sings as he bathes
But that killer is a mirror of ya self as he shaves
Off the idea that killin for his family isn't brave
Or killin a member of the fam that misbehaves
Is such a far fetching thought as far as he can aim
Those emotions is reserved like the army 1st brigade
That you can't separate like the Roman church and state
All of us mess wit death but some of us flirt wit fate
And both got a date as I contemplate what we gain
Pops you know when she go ain't none of us gone be the same
Like when Jamie Bowe left us he let us falter in rain
As they huddled in a puddle of their tears necks would crane
Even if yo name was Bruce I bet yo confidence would wane
Even when we tell the truth you think our honestness is lame
How the fuck we get to you and now our problem is in range
How we solve it is it strange like Steven inside his lane
Or maybe Gwen's act of kindness is somn Paltrow couldn't play
Jackie couldn't get on track like Joyner Kersee on a train
Start wit Barbara Keith ain't have a chance this shit is fucked up fuck
