I walked into the station, ran into a Chad dark bags under his eyes, a sedated kinda sad here for a class reunion, feeling kinda fresh loosened up my belt, popped my collar an’ all the rest feelin fresh dressed, baggy jeans but they pressed adidas matching socks Imma pass the test Chad said how ya doing, and he asked me for my name i said you must be kidding, what’s wrong with your brain we dissected pigs together in biology class paid you for a paper but it didn’t even pass // 20 years ago, I was 40 pounds lighter don't you know? I’m a skilled rap writer drink my cider in a snifter// red wine by the pint // prom date with your sister, she lookin kinda fine she dumped me in the end, then I took her friend.... chad didn’t care, or remember we were bros I swear he was a square, cat with boogers in his nose tried to be a decent fella, cool with everybody wanted to be kind to jocks, chicks, and fools who were nutty Chad tried to sell me somethin, i wished he had a bong stick your stupid slogan in, and we can sing along Bruce Wayne of this rap game, got gadgets that are insane don’t have super powers but I got some Lois Lanes: Vicki Vale, Rachel Dawes, I got probable cause dawn of justice, let’s get real, a rebel to the laws i don’t get these fools not knowing who I am a pretty big deal when I’m up on Instagram don’t need to flake or flam, y’all fools know my jams Chunjay from Royal Ruckus!

Money, hoes, honies, flows. Lame stale flow no mic control, no fun, no soul I’m no battle rapper but I’mmo hafto go flip the scrip', hip-hop palate cleanse then honies line up, “how much your album is” <flatline: Royal Ruckus take the stage and tell a few jokes got some laughs and shouts, break up songs provoke finished up my set with a round o’ applause (background effect) took the rap crown, despite my own show flaws girlies at my table asking <flatty girl voice: “do you have a sharpie?” <sounds cocky> you can call me Clark Gable of the flirtation party this girly bought my shirt for her boyfriend over there and a trendy rubber bracelet, I swear I saw a tear she was gushing with her words and blushing on her cheeks she said <flatline in a girl voice: “I was a Jesus Freak an’ a Ruckus Nation geek my name is Megan, I like all of your songs if you made my town your station, I think we’d get along” I said “that’s cool and all, I think you’re really sweet “but my girl’s a Russian beast, and she’d pickle both my feet” I thanked her for listening, signed her compact disc gave my beard a rub for luck an my cheek a little kiss

got the first text about it that night, 6:30 / Saint Patrick’s day but I was going home early / got in the Lyft as your message popped open <Lyft notification> / asked if god would judge a man who lost all sense of hope and / took his own life, it’s the only way out / I know you too well, I knew what it was about / It's your girl, your job, struggle to exist in this life / “well this world came unfurled, I’m not sure that I’ll survive “got a plan to end it, put a stop to this pain / “it’s selfish, absolutely, but these thoughts eat my brain” / wasn’t sure what to say started crying for my brother / and I bowed my head to pray "please save us today"/ Not gonna spray those old cliche platitudes / but I had to make sure you knew my attitude it was three years ago that we started on our path I’ll still be your companion an ill help ya find a map life gets us twisted and mixed on up / we are strongest when assisted by friends in a rut / So I pledge to have your back, and be a better man / Cause when it comes to messin up I'm a decorated veteran / I need the help as much as next, maybe more / // much respect to my friends tryina be better than before / can’t make a promise, sure as hell imma try i got your back when you're down, I ain’t a let you die / cause I know how it is waking up in a sweat / some days I can’t find Jesus, that I must confess / a disciple but I’m lost, like the both are true / I feel like you been beaten up, broken and bruised / I haven’t worn your shoes but I get the pain in what you sayin / past present future like doc and marty get shaken / walkin on the path and my homie, you off track / when you think that it’s over, Imma help you get on back /
