To take those encores

As if the cult of self presupposes either optimism or a dilettante's attitude toward life

With the righteous showmanship of a depressed addict       As if your   isolation is staged   and emphatic    cave   for one   alliance         in a faded California      

Do these niggas nurse sadness for soul

Or are they     ecstatic   and you ain't  been told


Next, we all warmed ourselves in the evil of opinions   and the fast ones got emotional   like  exact histories   of the lie    that reliable    lie    told your hands to rise  like this was   the other   routine


I saw Biggie Smalls strolling through the other routine     smile  on his   meaning       said he just missed   holding   the   pen   sometimes     and can't remember anything       clumsy   like war  and bookeeping   as if   the  slated   distance    means a future
