Driving through the noir sky



Premonition



January 26, 2006



As I drive through the noir sky

Another day another hour goes by

Another blessing another curse devoir my trys

I harness these grains of sand, you still see empowerment

In these sleepy eyes, the reapers hides and waits for me to drift away

Behind these wheel and crash then my soul will lift away

I wake up become alert but I’m so damn tired

I feel like a crash test dummy at night, during the day i'm wired

Open my lids and stare into the void of the night

Will success, peace, and happiness be deployed in my life?

Or will I be another pawn, a toy in the black mans plight?

I consciously look inward; become Sigmund Freud when I write

I look At myself and life, driving to work alone

Floating, when I’m in thought there's so much that can be shown

Turn off the radio and just by the silence I’m awed

I’m so busy it’s the only chance I get to talk to God

And that’s a shame your first words you utter should be his name,

Spending that time with him helps you withstand chaotic games

My graveyard shift is robotic it’s the same ole same

Its simple plain my faith sooths me like a hypnotic rain

When I start to lose hope, my natural narcotic remains

That is this writing that houses my dreams

The concept that came to me looking at Baltimore’s city scheme

The lord knows I’m tired of this repetitious running

Be patient my son, because your time is coming.

Another clear black night here we go again

Getting ready for my night shift before it starts I want it end

Friday night too man I don’t know how it feels

To go out somewhere or my girl spend the night and chill

I get ready so sluggish my snails pace signifies my drive

In my warm bed with my baby I wish I could take a dive

I thrive to end this suspended record of mine

Playing 3 nights a week man my drive is blind

I look for my keys, make sure the burners off

Ok the iron is unplugged, got my phone, and then I’m off

Get to my car need did I lock the door

My obsessive compulsion leads me back once more

Yeah the doors locked, it’s time to hop in the whip

Almost running late, from the things I forget

I really need to plead the blood over me

So tired I usually just rush and leave

Then drive listless thru the cold b-more streets

Ready to get to work, to ironically sleep

I got a green light so I gain a lil speed

I know this fool aint turn in front of….

Screeeeeeeeeech!













Driving through the noir sky



     The collision



10:45 pm



Screeeeeech!



Damn if this is the end, well here we go

I have a tenth of second to swerve no place to go

But head on this car is dead wrong

Here comes a skip in my 3 night song

I try to avoid by turning to the right

It’s was too late, so here come my plight

Our cars crash all sound to me just cease

We hit hard but at least I’m in on piece

I sit for a second in disbelief

Then I pull over and get out, this fool I have to meet

He said “Man I wasn’t looking; I didn’t see you at all

Let’s just exchange info, let’s keep it moving so I can bounce and ball

He said it was his fault, insurance has the cost

Get in the car and once again I’m off

Called me coworker and told him what had transpired                         “Walt take it easy, I have a lawyer you can hire”

Well this woke me up my unconscious ride

I guess you leave a space open the devil will hide

But nothing in this world will stop the lord’s plan

I’m grateful I was in his grace, the palm of his protective hands

It’s time to wake up and listen when he talks to me

I Bare witness this collision, when the angels walked with me.
