THROWING FIRE BALLS AT GLASS HOUSES
Rule makers bother me, you haven't made the game fair... quite the opposite you exist solely to choke the life out of it, but unfortunately for you the fires here and if not me than every single one in hearing distance... everybody rise up and start demanding more... you deserve it these rules don't mean a thing... fucking idiots your ruining everything! Call me impatient, but I want you to do the right thing already and I want my opportunity your obviously in need of some taming!
WINNING
We're all looking for the finish line... but I just bought some chalk and drew my own right behind me I don't need to prove anything to anybody. ;)
SUNNY WITH A CHANCE OF CLOUDY
While you're trying to perfect complicated, while you're racing to the edges playing right into their hands I'm trying to perfect simple and keep from moving at all... I want to be right in the middle and let everything else rotate around me.
I DON'T TALK I'M JUST A WRAPPER
But
perhaps thou art dissatisfied with that which is assigned to thee out of
the universe.- Recall to thy recollection this alternative; either there
is providence or atoms, fortuitous concurrence of things; or remember the
arguments by which it has been proved that the world is a kind of political
community, and be quiet at last.- But perhaps corporeal things will still
fasten upon thee.- Consider then further that the mind mingles not with
the breath, whether moving gently or violently, when it has once drawn
itself apart and discovered its own power, and think also of all that thou
hast heard and assented to about pain and pleasure, and be quiet at last.-
But perhaps the desire of the thing called fame will torment thee.- See
how soon everything is forgotten, and look at the chaos of infinite time
on each side of the present, and the emptiness of applause, and the changeableness
and want of judgement in those who pretend to give praise, and the narrowness
of the space within which it is circumscribed, and be quiet at last. For
the whole earth is a point, and how small a nook in it is this thy dwelling,
and how few are there in it, and what kind of people are they who will
praise thee.
MOUTAIN CLIMBING
This weight that I'm carrying would break a weaker man... have you ever heard of someone dying of responsibility? Its enough to make a grown man cry, but I just don't have the time, because I aspire to achieve the impossible, but I'm a need you on my side I just want to see you shine.
FRUSTRATION
They keep telling me do it honestly, you have to be perfect, but lets be realistic how can someone with my history live up to his duty, times have changed it's not ideal it's reality; but when anger overcomes me I think no matter how long or short we live whether great or small we will all eventually be forgotten so I try to make the most of it with the ones around me ultimately its up to you though I try my hardest to earn your love, if it were up to me there would only be me whispering secrets to you baby.
MY PROMISE
Never value anything as profitable to thyself which shall compel
thee to break thy promise, to lose thy self-respect, to hate any man, to
suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything which needs
walls and curtains: for he who has preferred to everything intelligence
and daemon and the worship of its excellence, acts no tragic part, does
not groan, will not need either solitude or much company; and, what is
chief of all, he will live without either pursuing or flying from death;
but whether for a longer or a shorter time he shall have the soul inclosed
in the body, he cares not at all: for even if he must depart immediately,
he will go as readily as if he were going to do anything else which can
be done with decency and order; taking care of this only all through life,
that his thoughts turn not away from anything which belongs to an intelligent
animal and a member of a civil community.
PRIORITIES
If thou findest in human life anything better than justice, truth,
temperance, fortitude, and, in a word, anything better than thy own mind's
self-satisfaction in the things which it enables thee to do according to
right reason, and in the condition that is assigned to thee without thy
own choice; if, I say, thou seest anything better than this, turn to it
with all thy soul, and enjoy that which thou hast found to be the best.
But if nothing appears to be better than the deity which is planted in
thee, which has subjected to itself all thy appetites, and carefully examines
all the impressions, and, as Socrates said, has detached itself from the
persuasions of sense, and has submitted itself to the gods, and cares for
mankind; if thou findest everything else smaller and of less value than
this, give place to nothing else, for if thou dost once diverge and incline
to it, thou wilt no longer without distraction be able to give the preference
to that good thing which is thy proper possession and thy own; for it is
not right that anything of any other kind, such as praise from the many,
or power, or enjoyment of pleasure, should come into competition with that
which is rationally and politically or practically good. All these things,
even though they may seem to adapt themselves to the better things in a
small degree, obtain the superiority all at once, and carry us away. But
do thou, I say, simply and freely choose the better, and hold to it.- But
that which is useful is the better.- Well then, if it is useful to thee
as a rational being, keep to it; but if it is only useful to thee as an
animal, say so, and maintain thy judgement without arrogance: only take
care that thou makest the inquiry by a sure method.

MATURITY
They keep telling me true king why do you seem so down and out... very grimy; but I keep trying to tell them there are more important things because I don't do it for the money, the fame, or the glory, I dream higher... call it patrimony; but I promise to fight heroically as long as you promise to forgive me. The way I see it they can't take away what you don't want for, and this flame that burns inside of me is the fiercest thing you've ever seen, because I see your beauty, and its made all of a man out of me, and I'm a do all I can to pull you into me because my heart beats for you and you only... till the death of me. And if I should catch one of you motherfuckers in one of my streets I hope your packing heat, because I will lay you the fuck down... end of story!
DESTINY
For a while I have struggled to figure out how one might live justly in an unjust world and still afford to put food on the table, but I think I have finally figured it out; the wicked and all those who seek to stand against me and the ones I love shall bear my mark. So to all those who turned their back to me, who saw fit to condemn, and spit on my name in my darkest hour when I had shown you gratitude and compassion; I forgive you and would like to thank you for if not for your dishonor I don't think I would possess nearly as much humility as I do today. Only one continued at my side, counseling me and lending his strength for no other reason than his being in greater excess, who I've come to see as the best out of all of us and who will forever own my loyalty and deepest gratitude. For the rest of you, you shall be the first to experience the edge of my justice; you wont see me coming nor will you hear me but you will FEEL ME! like the hot iron cuts through butter so to will your light be extinguished for the hunter seeks to kill his prey in one shot as to preserve the humanity of the animal. Better to destroy your enemies utterly and completely ensuring victory for years to come, such is the way of war.
