Truthing Thru Illusion

Was never meant to fit in, a vibrational bridging poet musician, a spiritual firestarter piercing the veil of illusion, a mirror of soul truthing, staying slow and steady, some folks they just ain't ready, but since Lil Nas X's success exists, if I can consistently create and persist my potential is limitless, y'all will eventually come around, cuz both my art and I are rather quite profound, an openly gay white scholar child of teachers from the middle class, who writes and performs original songs where he sings and raps, a one man show/class act, which simply kicks ass and that's a fact!

Vained Fame

Why bout, when I'm all cried out, over u, already played the fool, ain't goin back, no matter the character attack, I stand firm, y'all will eventually learn, this is who I am, I'm not a scam, my authenticity is real, I eloquently express how I feel, if u can't deal, or I'm not mass appeal, I can live with that, I'm done focusing on lack, I'm definitely blessed, inherently I guess, humans have no control, however I will never sell my soul, especially not for fortune nor fame, praying engaging in my artistic life wouldn't ever be in vain!

Reform Norms

Channel messages meant to uplift the soul, challenge the status quo, low ego, with a revolutionary conscious flow u know, right away, not that I'm gay, but a poet philosopher truth teller, a genuine gentleman and masculine fella, all about authenticity, from rural towns to every major city, the epitome of a musical nomad planting seeds, making y'all think and explain about what we collectively believe, not ur conscience lecturing right or wrong, musing and using the lyrics in my songs, as artistic activism in consumption form, helping to redefine presumptuous assumption and stereotypical norms!

Wisdom's Kingdom

I'm a spiritual gangster, a radical fairy/soul flower with a whole lotta anger, enough is enough, I truly believe in authenticity and love, it simply conquers all, fungus will surly fall, losing to light, if we come together and fight, we outnumber them by a huge margin, democracy freedom and natural rights are not up to bargain, done arguing with fools, or with the devil's tools, I see thru evil, I ain't mad at the sheeple, they've been programmed that way, of course it takes awakening understanding like discovering ur gay, but the blessing is it does come with some unique special wisdom, slowly selecting chosen ones to welcome into my high vibrational frequency's kingdom!

Bliss This

Slowly but surely working shit out, flirting with wit when verbally spit/bout, my life is a poetic rap battle, won't spill tea or tattle, tell ur story and I'll mine, can be fine yet at the same time bitch and wine, simply having relatable conversation, I'm trying to imprint some conscious integration, bringing back common sense, the level of incompetency's intense, a convicted criminal con man is president, all y'alls complicity is pretty clear cut and evident, so I take no accountability for any of this, while making music in non political business bliss!

Atonement Moments

Found out some interesting news, I no longer have to see him while drinking my booze/brews, he got banned, the flames had been fanned, to the point, I was way past annoyed, I grew insulted, his lack of compassion or empathy is just repulsive, treat people with kindness and grace, say shit to someone's face, not behind their back, that's whack, deal thru accountability, look at battles with surmountability, pick ur moments, but always remember when wrong to make peace amends and atonement!

Existence Persistence

Trying to dust myself off again, mail issues on top of losing a few friends, has been really challenging my joy, one of my straight bestys just had a baby boy, reminding me about the cycle of life, at a loss for words between grief and strife, like this suffering's defining my very existence, I'm proud of my persistence, cuz it hasn't been easy, and as the world turns more greedy and sleazy, believe me I'll carve my own path, avoiding this blatant matrix trap's wrath, I see thru these illusions, can meditatively drown out all this noise's confusion, finally following my own intuition, wishing I'm living up to my consistent conscious authentic and loving disposition!

Outspoken Broken

Today was another pretty bad day, in an angry sad way, I'm such a good person, undeserving of all this suffering and hurting, please I need to catch a break, my faith isn't easy to shake, but I really can't take any more, misfortune telling me supposedly what's in store, a damn lying shame, ain't enough patience to play this crazy waiting game, for karmic justice to make things whole, neither can my heart nor soul, continue functioning so broken, I've lost my will to be unfilteredly outspoken, I mean really what's the point, shooting the messenger's becoming expectedly annoying, yet again the scapegoat/patsy, just remember in the end y'all are the reason u no longer have me!

Not to be too demanding, but isn't it all about forgiveness peace and understanding, don't wait and hate, give grace and communicate, have some taste and class, like Red would say "u need a swift kick in the ass", perhaps sometimes, and that's just fine, but try and learn to grow on ur own, let go of what u think uve surely known, embracing what is, assumed irrelevant cuz I ain't got a wife nor kids, every piece of art to me, is like a metaphorical baby, part of my legacy I'll leave behind, manifesting me believing in achieving my dreams inevitably over time in kind!

Hasn't even been a year since mom passed, and I'm still reeling and dealing with that, I've proven I can hack, getting my own back, but it's nice to be watched out for, how about I globetrot on tour, live life to the fullest, the Joe Conscious stock market's bullish, these days, seems these gays, are ruling the world, to all the boys trans and girls, let's all unite together, engage to make every precious day better, spread more smiles and hugs, vibrate at a higher frequency like authenticity or love!

Lost 2 friends in 1 day, they were both so young and gay, this is getting hard to take, all these funerals and wakes, reminding how precious life is, hope y'all lived fully and with righteousness, had fun and found joy, who cares if u were or weren't employed, how much love did u have, if ur happy than I'm glad, let's celebrate making it this far, despite strife and plight perpetuating hard, gotta discover my resilience and strength again, guess technically we're all destined heaven sent!

Another young gay friend gone too soon, I don't wanna name but change that tune, aging is getting harder, seems like humanity can't go any farther, the older we get, the more they become inept, the quality of life gets worse, the pain from grief hurts, no matter who it is or was, are u defined by how much u accumulated and made or what one does, did u leave a legacy, or u looking at me with jealousy, I may not have had kids, but I followed my heart soul and dreams while I truly lived!

Up Ur Level Of Love

Nothing better than a blunt and a conversation, definitely the opposite of confrontation, let's discuss the misunderstanding rationally, what I'm asking was to walk ur talk actionably, my genuine authenticity happens naturally, I don't take promiscuousness casually, cuz actually that ain't safe, u can have a platonic soulmate, esp a fellow artist, that lifestyle is the hardest, being an entrepreneur at ur core, whether musician actor or whore, takes grit guts and passion is must, fame almost becomes lust, and y'all couldn't quit it or give up, cuz duh...it's on a whole other level of love!

Mix Persistence With Resilience

Persevering persistence, mixed with unconditional resilience, is what family does embodies and teaches, the most important learning isn't thru lecturers nor preachers, in fact life is the best school, education's cool yet experience is the handiest tool, true wisdom's preferred over common sense knowledge, we deserve and need free health care and college, morality isn't only formed from religious discipline/rules, they use propaganda to divide conquer and control fools, our government's become numb to how much they’re so corrupt, it no longer serves to collectively better and protect us, but please never ever give up, believe in humanity's hope faith and love !

Can't always be sunshine and rainbows, I'm fine with letting my vain hoe show tho, once in a while, have that sexy devilsh smile, mischievously smirk, a leather zaddy side lurks, underneath an average exterior, hides a kinky well built thick non trick much hairier, than what's on his head, who'll revolutionarily spread truth love and consciousness til he's dead, and well after, in perpetuity said with laughter, throughout the universe and cosmos, when finally viral the effect will go down like dominoes, so seemingly sudden it's almost magic, redefining a Phoenix rising homosexual/faggot!

Hidden Precious Treasures

I'm not trying to be political, I feel it's simply critical/pivotal, to stand and show up now more than ever, u and me are in this together for worse or better, so let's hope for the latter, we all individually matter, don't let them fool u, be another used abused tool too, we're smarter than that, shouldn't have to take the same crap, already vanquished, why spread so much chaos and anguish, life is beautiful and precious, everyday is a blessing and the people we meet can be hidden treasures, finna wait and keep the faith, truly believe it's gonna all be ok!

Corrupt Luck Sucks

What if none of this mattered, would u line ur pockets fatter, or would u share the wealth, care about health, or is the point just fun, who lost vs won, when it's all said and done, do we walk slowly or run, does time exist, do u try to prove u lived, no holds barred, was love dealt in the cards, or is it all reproduction, focus on deconsumption, money replaced with bartering, sick of all this MAGA martyring, it's embarrassing, not to mention globally harassing, nobody likes us much, and apparently our Congress and Supreme Court lack even a touch of guts, I'd wish good luck, but this country just sucks and is super corrupt!

It only takes one person with guts, to stand up and remind all of us, how powerful we are when we're united together, it helps fight tyranny better, these are outlandish times, no accountability for crimes, at least not for the president, it's pretty clear cut and evident, if rich ur above the law, apparently he can start a war, without Congress's approval, the Supreme Court is corrupt or delusional, where's the checks and balances, I'll continue to fight using my larynx, this is not democracy, billionaires are the new oligarchy, simply wicked sick and tired, wish we the people could say this whole administration is fired!

Noticed with age, let go of rage, seems grief tamed, since it's all just an illusion/game, none of it's in our control, I know I'm a beautiful soul, and that's enough, a huge source of light and love, but I still am sick and tired, of hypocrites and liars, our government is inept, should be disgracefully fired or impeached for corruption greed and neglect, they're supposed to serve and protect, I'd bet he's illegally president elect, everything he says is projection, changing this country's complete tragection, the tyranny he's errecting's effectively negatively infecting democracy's legacy as a whole, so I propose a poll imprisoning this entire administration goes to a popular vote as a very necessary unifying global goal!

Wasn't gonna write, cuz I'm tired of the fight, honestly I often wonder what's the point, do I inspire or annoy, how did I go from consistent thousands of views, to barely 22, maybe it's time to say deuces, cuz the truth is, y'all are missing out, popularity doesn't equate talent success or clout, I often ponder how, do I seize the here and now, when I can't fix save change or help, anybody else but my damn self, no longer can afford to be a people pleaser, putting me first's giving fans Joe Conscious fever, are u a true believer, or think I'm a goody two shoes overachiever?

Still very much reeling, from the thought I hurt ur feelings, it confounds me dumbfoundedly, I was simply trying to create a healthy boundary, I gave u too much, and u hadn't reciprocated true love, just spouting empty words, not showing up for me really hurts, especially when I called u out, I can't cyclically keep fighting this bout, so I let u go, didn't expect ud pretend I never existed tho, again where's my grace, I can feel ur hate/distaste, that's why I no longer match ur energy, I'd rather forgiveness and understanding be my legacy!

Yesterday was a hard one, wish I had to spar none, but the level of incompetency bothers me, we are victims of the devil's sodomy, it seems more recently, y'all have lost human decency, we are pretty much the same, and I refuse to play the hating game, we let them win, when we don’t blame the origin, the reaction becomes the focus, politicians use evil hocus pocus, to distract us from the tyranny and greed, I'm angry at the gaslighting and blatant hypocrisy, boomers perpetually control and hoard, they are responsible for letting this country go so far off course!

Why does it seem God, enjoys making life so painfully hard, like he's encouraging, nothing but suffering, I can't take anymore grief, I've lost all faith/belief, how on earth am I supposed to live, got nothing more to give, depleted dry, all I wanna do is get high cry or die, the latter is preferable, I thought family and friends were supposed to be inseparable, instead I'm alone and lonely, and I don't think there's anybody who truly knows me!

Today was the first I wanted to give up, all I want is love, don't seem to be good enough, or have that type of luck, what's wrong with me, if life were weather it would be stormy, never been a normy, nor got in line conformingly, rather be a rebel, to the umpteenth level, I may appear disheveled, but this journey has been incredible, now I'm done, evil won, I no longer want to be here, nobody even cares, if I were gone tomorrow, I doubt there'd be palpable sorrow, in fact I'm sure I'd be forgotten quickly, like Nick ud probably be happy to be rid of me!

It's hard to let freedom ring, celebrate dance rap and sing, with this tragic big beautiful bill passing, all I can think of asking's what happened, where's empathy compassion and love, then blaming us for not being patriotic enough, respect is earned not blindly given, their complete incompetency is disgustingly sickening, and the massive following of sheeple, is straight up emboldening enforcing evil, these are some seriously dark times, rampant spiritual warfare on our collective hearts souls and minds!

Part of finding clarity, is choosing peace over popularity, imagine those who hate respect u, but the reverse is also true, that means ur doin something right, I no longer fight, I've learned to disengage, I'm just not interested in being phased, or negatively effected by low vibrational people, yes the US is ruled by evil, and conservatives are to blame, he treats us like a corporation in a monopoly game, can't wait for the pendulum to swing back, y'all ain't ready to stand up and attack!
