Before I Self Destruct (Get Up) by JigsawKillah(m): 5:14pm On Oct 19, 2017 |
Lengthiest poem I ever wrote It's not deep, it's just dope It's just thick, like my smoke That's about to get me choked To my dying day, I'm close Still living the wrong life I chose Still living after the overdose Ignoring the threats my addictions pose Cute picture, I know I'm maybe God's character in a funny show Action packed, and with a tragic end Am I the protagonist? Hell no Lost friends to the hustle we did Made friends, it was the hustle we breathe Colleagues dying in tens It's intense, our hustle to live Carpenter's son, no I wasn't bluffing Only work was carving my peers coffins And every single night, the mac blares I stood, facing death with blank stares It could've been me being buried Patience saved me sometimes While some of my friends hurried Their mothers woke us with cries I'm rewriting for the umpteenth time Hoping every word comes out right Hoping I grow the will to live this life Hoping fear never wins this fight Get up Jigs, get up mi'jo You never wanted to look weak You never want this to look deep You're too wolf to be sheep Get up, Jigs! You're not the same child You've got in with wolves, and stayed mild Get up, Jigs! You're not dumb The overdose doesn't mean you're now numb Get up, Jigs! You wanna self destruct? Remember your son, every word you talked I think I'm failing him, without question I'm here OD-ing, your mom; she's out stressing Get up Jigs! Look in the mirror How many stronger peeps you know? Life's deeper than smoking weed And thicker than the smoke you blow Mentally unstable, me Always been unable to see Life from the views as a teen That were impressed on me Every morning I wake Self destruct, self destruct And all the time my hand shakes I get the means and couldn't get defunct Showing of weakness, that is your strength And it is probably my death 25 years, that is the length I fear death is out for its debt Get up Jigs, living is fun Stop romancing suicide Gasping for breath after a run You wonder what to do with life You remember the friends you lost To survive, the boundaries crossed You don't want that all in vain Your soul in hell would be pain Get up Jigs! You understand Tell me you wanna see your son Being raised by another man And you; forgotten, gone People are funny, they say talk to people But when you talk to people, they're evil And they get you in a position to really Be alive, while you're dying in self pity Get up Jigs, suicide is weak You really want to self destruct Take time out and think About the people you'd hurt Get up brother, get up sister The wisdom is not in giving up It's falling and getting back up Strength is falling and getting back up © Jigs 5 Likes 3 Shares |
