To Whom It MAY (The Intrusion)

I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Yes, you. You're so genuinely happy for me and you take an interest in my well being. You hear me clearly as I speak to you. My bad I got distracted at Popeyes but I'm back in it, you hear me clearly as I speak to you. You hear me clearly cause I tweet to you. And if you keep paying attention then you'll see it through. Started this two days ago but it's a newer day. Let me time stamp the picture for you, bout to go to June from May. Putting in work on my craft like two-a-days. And even though he doesn't read em there ain't a dam thing I wouldn't do for Dre. Back in it, this is belated work. Took a break from the world on Dre's date of birth. Enslaving the pen the way I make it work. Now I'm sitting here thinking where I should take it first, to make it last. My mother's son shining like he on the break with Nash. Called outta work like screw it I'll make it back. Cause now I understand my drive so no one else can make me crash. Broke as my shoulder now but I'm knowing the pen'll make me cash. I don't consider myself paid until I can pay my dad.

My parents gave me way more than I could pay em back. Right now my money is a joke but I don't hate to laugh. Black and tryna be surrounded by green like the Jamaican flag and have the haters and naysayers wishing they could take it back. Ain't got the paper but I'm stating facts I could explain my bars with emojis, picture me painting raps  Caribbean dinners, better take it fast. I'm giving out food for thought, you know the plates get (w)rapped. Your mind just probably went insane with that. If you didn't really catch it you should play it back. It's like I've been trained to spazz. I enslave the pen & my mind runs away, let me bring it back. It's the month of May. Happy belated to my brother Dre. The flow's too smoove, too cool. I'm a genius, screw school. I shouldn't say it but if you judge it then screw you. I don't care, I don't give a dam. Cause I can paint a picture and then post it up on Instagram. Speaking of which, let me take a second. To show you that my Will's about to make me legend. I'm lucid dreaming, I see it coming true. Popeyes the EP: A Short Film, coming soon. I turned my month into a movie, you thought it was a joke. Even I hadn't seen it when I started what I wrote. 3381 words, started as a quote. Swaggyspeaks, and I swear he can write yo. You see these bars on twitter, peep the link in the bio. Or not, your choice. No beef but I'm pro-choice. Cause you can't tell somebody how to speak if it ain't your voice. You can't tell somebody how to live if it's not your life. Try it with me and you'll get left behind cause that ain't your right. But I'm just here to let the people know it'll be alright. That even the darkest times can turn to shine because we're all bright. They're seeing rhymes on their TL & now they're thinking 'yo he's alright'. But they don't understand that I could keep doing this all night. Save the real, spare the fools. Take a look back, 3 There's, I'm here for you. There there, and an extra with a pat on the back. Rewind it cause I'm blessed to use these patterns with raps. Save the real, spare the fools. Take a look back, 3 There's, I'm here for you. Take a bite of the food for thought that I've prepared for you. This is a silent film, you see it & you hear it too. Performed at a spoken word show and got a little spiritual. Slipped up painting the picture but they saw that I was lyrical. Didn't even fully portray my vision and they thought I killed it, cool. This feels way better than the days that I was failing school.

This feels way better than them days I had to plan to lose. Access(Axis) Power bars, provide damage and make the planet move. Axis Powers, dropping bombs with these bars. That means I'm really doing harm with these bars. I'm a threat for bearing arms with these bars. Illustrated my joy, while they're observing my heart. Axis Power, I turn the world with these bars.

And I love my girl's brain cause she keeps up with mine. But sometimes I wish the pen could keep up with my mind. I'm slipping and losing highly intelligent rhymes. There was a (point where Wave and Brendon had to tell me to rhyme) Now I share my thoughts clearly through parentheses rhymes. S/O my first performance. I got that chance before I ever worked for it so they couldn't really fully feel my words. Watched the video, realized that the camera blurred. Didn't have a mic for the first half, could barely hear my words. Spoke it before I'd even ever read it so I smeared my words. I've got a gift so now I'm rapping again. I pause for applause and hear em clapping again. Spitting fire so I'm feeling like a dragon again. On the contrary bars colder than Alaska my friend. Ain't gotta work for slave wages cause I mastered the pen. That blew (blue) your mind so much you just read (red) it again. Was stuck on what I mastered so I said it again. Mastered the pen, wrote notes with the pad. Spoke to my mom, wrote notes to my dad. Directed the lost, gave hope to the sad. Word to my greatest pain I had to shoulder the pad. Hooping I fell so hard I doubted that my shoulder's intact. Told the little kid I was okay, although it hurt really bad. The first part was on twitter, this is what I wrote with the pad.

Ever since SpeakEZ I been speaking even clearer to you. Cause now I'm more than painting the pictures, I bring em here to you. Now I've learned to put on a show, pull up a chair for you. Now I've learned to put on a show, buy out the theater for you. Cause when I isolate it I can make it clearer for you. I call you pal, cause the pen brought me nearer to you. I was behind bars, I kept them locked away. This my 3rd time saying that I spit my heart away. But that's line's a perfect 10, it's only something Shaun would say. Tim Halpert on twitter, that kid's just giving art away. Right now it's MotherDuck the money, I would give my car away to help somebody else ease the pain of those harder days. To help somebody understand that I'm not afraid, to show em that I have a God that I've gotta praise. Word to Vegas I beat the odds they can not appraise. You see I take these bars high and I keep you climbing. Then I drop a couple gems, I'm the King of Diamonds. Keep climbing but don't look too far, if I say I'm watching The Office don't look too hard or you'll be like DAM HE'S EVEN DOING STRIP CLUB BARS??! And nobody else caught it to quote it but my girl know that Office Bar was the coldest word to the A/C, painting pictures in HD, man they're about to hate me. Bars take em so high that they're worried about their safety. The flow's going deep and they're worried about their safety. 4th & 99 I ain't worried about a safety. Double sided coin for the football fans. Spitting lyrical rounds hoping that the clip don't jam. I'm boutta get some bands but I ain't with no scam. Young and on a mission, see the kid's grown man. Oh wait, triple entendre y'all don't get those, dam.

Sometimes I feel I'm overlooked cause y'all don't understand me. I'm putting on a show, you see it on a grand screen. Cooking up a grand scheme. Point blank, I don't need a Plan B. To Whom It May Concern so real it could've won a Grammy. I'm leading a climb, shoutout to the people near me. I be spreading love so much that all my friends a family. I be spreading so much love that all my friends are family. I be spreading love so much they really can't compare me. I be spreading so much love cause I give em the real me. I be spreading love so much cause I can make em feel me. Showed em that my heart's a home and then I gave em realty. So they know even when it's behind bars, I'm not guilty. I express my joy as explicitly as I express my disappointment. It's funny they love you for your concern until you voice it, To Whom It May. Let's review the day, about to go to June from May. And I don't have a clue of what I'm gonna do today. The one I'm dating just picked her school today. How ironic she got hired as my mind flew today. Gotta bring home the bacon, flow sicker than swine flu today. I think I could use a break.

My best friend's ex and I ain't spoke in months. My (ex)(best friend) and I haven't spoke in months. Now I'm talking to myself, and saying (that was tough). So I'ma tell myself to (run it back), dam I'm acting up. My best friend's ex and I ain't spoke in months, my (ex)(best friend) and I ain't spoke in months. Became inseparable as friends once we were broken up, now I don't get to tell her about the girl who brought me home for lunch. Guess that's part of growing up. I wasn't wavy but now the flow is up. And I told you that the world was mine, now I'm blowing up. I showed you that I was bright, now I'm glowing up. You knew the flow was kinda sick but now I'm throwing up. We were once strangers, I didn't notice love. But now as soon as I feel it I know it's love. And now I'm trying to help em see that we're supposed to love. I felt like David Blatt, I couldn't get the most from Love. I once wasn't w(hole) but now I'm close to love. I'm painting pictures of people the kids have posters of. And yeah I hung up my jersey but my team still attached. Some of them are sleeping on me as I put my dreams in these raps. It's annoying but my team's still intact. You were on twitter reading those raps as they were beating the raps. The game was in Cleveland but tonight they brought the Heat to the Raps. Say a prayer for Chris Bosh as I put Heat on these Raps. I'm doing things that even I can't believe on these raps. My shorty on her point blank, me I just bleed in rhymes. And wow I'm so sorry to hit you with those egregious lines but I just have to do it sometimes so you can see the light. Told the homies I've got some G's for us, that's word to Jesus Christ. He was the one that jumped in and helped me win all those demon fights. Let me scroll up so little that you can see the lines. My shorty on her point blank, me I just bleed in rhymes. I thank God that I'm still a kid, not a father. It's been a couple days since he seen his daughter, it's been about a month since I seen my barber. I'm just hoping that my dreams can change realities. My girl's 3 months from a salary, and right now I'm feeling like I'm 3 minutes from a masterpiece. Fact checking, had to Google Johnny Appleseed to make sure I could tell you many will come after me. Missionary, or pioneer, call it what you want. I could get this whole EP recorded in a month. Then drop it for the ones who stayed down to come up. 10 toes down regardless of who may run up. I'ma stay down while trying to get my funds up. This is a short film, you can give it two thumbs up. I just directed you to the answer, God is love. Life is like Tristan Thompson, it starts with love. I've only got a small chance but my heart's above, like Kevin dunking on the mini-rim, shuffling through synonyms. As a kid I wanted the jacket with the M&M's. Back then I was ignorant, now I'm tryna be eminent. Feeling like success is imminent. Killing it, yet the witnesses know I'm innocent. Because they're watching me put on a show for their benefit. Shuffling through synonyms and found a bunch of homonyms. At night I think of these rhymes, I am the running man. I'm on a run like Russell, painting pictures with candid flows. The picture's loading as we speak, word to D'angelo.

My best friend's ex and I ain't spoke in months. My (ex)(best friend) and I haven't spoke in months. Now I'm talking to myself, and saying (that was tough). So I'ma tell myself to (run it back), dam I'm acting up. My best friend's ex and I ain't spoke in months, my (ex)(best friend) and I ain't spoke in months. I can't front, College Algebra was hard for me. Now my bars use the distributive property. Check the parentheses, I'm painting pictures that no professor sees while writing my legacy. I'm even ready to leave the swoosh if they try checking me. Like I'm giving the gift of time, right now I'm w(rapping) up a Master Piece. Told you the story's backwards, the intro's the conclusion. There's a lot going on so it could get confusing. Breaking into the game, this is the intrusion. I'm a winner, you can miss me with the losing. I'm painting pictures you can see my vision through illusions. I turned shooting my shot into a biblical allusion. A dollar to my name but still in August I'll be moving. I put it all in writing so there's nothing left for proving. A genius with the pen who didn't pan out as a student. Now I'm cooking for thought and you can tell me how the food is. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't get it cause they're stupid. But that's their right, I'm sorry that was kind of rude man. I'm enrolled in classes but don't want to go to school man, cause when I tried to put my heart in the books, the devil moved in. Look at how much I wrote in a week, they couldn't grade this. If I ever submitted this in a Dropbox, they'd degrade it. But I don't give a dam what they say, Popeyes the greatest. I spoke to God so clearly in May, that I got saved kid. I was once stuck in a maze, now I'm amazing. Had everybody near me in May, so I'm elated. Told my job they can keep those hours, I'm putting days in. Even my friends sleeping on me, so many people dazing. But once I'm getting dollars I'll see everybody changing. I'm just writing without thinking, how many words is this. This is pretty long, thank you if you're still observing this. I didn't have a choice, I just knew I had to murder it. Thank you for giving me a voice when I thought nobody heard the kid. You gave me a voice, I gave you my heart. You gave me your attention so I gave you my art. You ain't really gotta thank me I'm just playing my part. I'm just here to shed light to those chasing a spark. Rhymes gotta take you high because I'm raising the bar. Fruits of my labor, I put raisins in bars. But the flow never dries out so they're still grapes in these bars. In the days where foreigners would ask me for Nike airs. Chasing my dreams cause I was sick of my nightmares. Pro-choice but still giving em life here. You read the tweets in order. I'm boutta meet her father. And he's gon know that I'm the reason he don't see his daughter. And how do I get this teacher to see she's not a bother? Yes of course I hate school but I could never hate you and you know if I ever say it there's no way it ain't true. I always speak the truth, I never tell a tale in bars, the flow is well suited so I guess I'm spitting tailored bars. One Outro to another, and a shoutout to my brother. I'd do anything for him, he's annoying but I love him. I'm never home and it's annoying my mother. My dad's reading my thoughts but we only speak about sports, but I appreciate the silence cause I see the support. And my aunt just called me and I needed that talk, she's always given me a chance to speak on my thoughts. I'm so wavy that my world's (whirl's) in a wind. I think I've found a healthy balance between my girl and my friends. Came back because this part was supposed to go at the end. I've been staring at this scratch off hoping I win, so I never have to be shackled by my brokeness again. My girl's out with her friends, my parents outta the crib. 12:06 am, it's my dad's birthday. I know even you're surprised by this wordplay, sad that I can't really afford a gift, happy birthday dad. This ticket in front of me can take the shackles off, so I'ma look to God and say a prayer before I scratch it off.

(I won $5)

Now I'm talking to everybody at once, like this a session and I'm passing everybody the blunt. You see I'm keeping it real, cause I can't keep it concealed. And now they're starting to agree that I'll be reaching a deal. I'm never faking so they see I'm for real. I told them about my pain so they can see that I've healed. I don't blame you because I didn't see it for years. I didn't see it this clear, but make sure this is reaching your ears. I'm the one. I've got what it takes. Never been the one to make a promise I would break. So much drive I throw my last dollar in the tank. As I see the others are not in my lane. Because I've found the perfect balance between my heart and my brain so now I'm putting the pad in the coffin again. Tragic, I'm so fly that my thoughts can ascend. You hear me behind bars, yes I talk with the pen. Windows down, losing thoughts in the wind but bars still hitting hard like I'm assaulting the pen. Like Kevin coaching himself I put my heart in again. I know KD and Russ wish they could play with Harden again, they probably laugh about how nobody could guard em again. I know James remembers they weren't starting him then. Some times. People change. Shaun won't. Time flies. Things change. Bonds don't. They still haven't stopped making 007's. This is food for thought and you're gonna want seconds. I really ain't got it so I'm really not flexing. My job could fire me tomorrow and won't owe me no severance. So that's why I learned to put my homies first, no second. Don't ask me if I love em cause they know it's no question. Hadn't posted it yet cause I guess it I wasn't done with it. The intro and the conclusion, decided to have some fun with it. Painted a picture for em then I switched up the illusion. Caught up in the middle, this may get a little confusing. Interrupting the intermissions, it's the Intrusion. It's payday again, had to head to the swoosh to pick up a check. Right now I'm not getting money but I'm getting respect. Standing at the ATM, what am I thinking about? 30 seconds ago, there were 3 0's in my bank account. Got a scratch off hoping to add some weight to my account. Then I turned back looking for a lotto ticket for a chance to live a dream with my peers. Then I ran into Noesha I hadn't seen her in years. So much to catch up on, no way to say it all. But if I showed her Note To Self it would explain it all. How far I've come, and how far I have to go. Like 7 dragon balls I've got the glow. I'm taking after my hair, let's see how far it grows. Same world, different day. Gucci's out, lemonade. Picked up the phone and hit Herb for a fade. Only the hoop fans are understanding this line, my barber nice with the clippers like Elton Brand in his prime. Spotted a familiar face in another chair. Same shop, different barber. Thought to speak but it's been a while, didn't bother. Pulled up on my old job in a new whip, but no intentions to flaunt now. Used to deliver pizzas but I'm serving food for thought now. No intentions to flaunt, no position to brag. I'm broke but somehow I know I've gotta get me that bag. $50 too many for my financial situation, but when I laid my eyes on it I knew that it was fated. Wish I had the bread to head out to New York with Jalen. I ain't got it now but I know that I'm gonna make it. It's just a matter of when, so I don't have to pretend. I'm just grateful for this time that I have with my friends. I make the best out of today cause I won't have it again. Tomorrow became yesterday I'm writing too long. But I can't stop, it's almost like I'm writing two songs. But I know as long as I can write I'm even right when I'm wrong. It's coming to my head and I'm just typing it all. I hear him real clearly like I'm skyping with God. I told you I'd be giving em life here. Chasing my dreams brought me out of my nightmares. This is way too long, I think I'll end it right here.
