DART Daydreams

They didnt like it in useless blabber... or didnt get it


I rarely understand, as I'm riding thru the land, on the public transportation, feeling aggravation, I was looking at the city, the day was hot but pretty, but often riding DART makes everthing outside look shitty!
Rumbling up Preston, near Royal I'm guessin', the houses look like palaces, the feudal lords of Dallas and they're all just born into it, or by some twist of fate break thru it, the struggles and the pressures, the learnt-the-hard-way lessons,
But most of us don't get it, take buses, walk, and sweat it,
Resentment in the brain, as we choose to pass the blame, cause that's the easy way, and for now you feel ok, or some fools give up all the way, fall to their knees and pray!
But prayer's not for I an I, though I've had my share of sins,
I'd rather not just beg the sky to feed and clothe my skin,
So I practice my headspins I bruise my knees, elbows, and shins,
I often let the beat take me far from this place we're in,
But it's hard to sit and grin, when your apartment's made of tin,
And your neighbor has a mansion for his wife and two lil brats,
I see their Lexus passing by thru my wall's numerous cracks,
And damn, I swear, it just ain't fair, what about me, but no one cares, no one wants to kick me down a little bit of wealth...

But no one ever built a castle by thinking of themself...

but that's exactly what I do, so quick to ask for help,
Do I give it though?
It's true you know, rewards go not for what we are but what we give, though savages will curse and fight, we'll not get far if that's how we live,
It's irony, it confusing, I think, as we pass thru Highland Park, where Cheney prospered more from being slick than being smart, and I might remark.. some of these men never gave the world a useful thing, inherited trust funds and went shopping, I've known their kids, somewhat intimately, even as a youngster it occured to me that of their endless ego stuffing, I wanted nothing... but yo, I must have been bluffing, now i'm tired of roughing, now I want everything, how embarrassing, how my judgement stinks, it stings so hard I can't bear to think,
So I take a drink, just a couple more, as if being wasted will even the score, as if anyone even keeps count anymore, but the suits in City Hall do I'm informed, and all of a sudden I'm twenty-four, the police all too often appear at my door- after all, all the good boys are away in the war, so the folks with castles can remarble their floors, and the Jaguar collectors can purchase one more, and the tyrant had murderous weapons, they swore, wasn't that why we flooded their houses with gore, we burned Babylon and its ages of lore, books from when Jesus and Buddha breathed, even before!
What a gyp! That should make anyone sick, but what can ya do, ya gotta eat, gotta keep your loved ones off the street, so well designed, the master plan, and we're eating it out of their manicured hands, bowing down low and saying "thank you Ma'am", will it ever end, will the best men win, will they ever provide what they say they intend, i doubt I'll see it, but I'll go on and pretend, my driver's informed me we've reached the West end,
So it's time to walk, just a couple blocks, and forget I ever had this train of thought, and after all we're just simple folk, we can't rock the boat, and work with such ideas would be so difficult, and I'm here, time to punch the clock, to try and kiss more ass than the rest of the flock, i'll keep rolling the dice, and rolling my eyes, until maybe one day I'll get lucky, surprise, or maybe more likely, one day I'll just die. Burn me, toss the ash into the sky, play reggae, garage, and hip hop and cry, burn a spliff for me, the best dank u can find, and smile, like I smiled as I closed my eyes.
