This a Interlude
Between the projects of pinnacle
Penmanship
In this Trajectory
I project more than sales entertainment pedastools
See what this pen can do
Reach people with these
syllable tentacles
Real life
Not fictional Benadryl
Phife dawg died
Of high fructose syrup n chemicals
(Give em a) moment of loudness
Soda the rodent of our DNA trace
Tell me when you see me rhyme
What do you see in my face?
Eyes...
which confront disgrace
I cannot front I'm laced
With the pace of this life
My serenity a syringe in these lines
Came for revenge in these lines
Came to confess in these rhymes
Spill it like you did the beaner
Spill my chest in these lines
No matter the mess of this quest
I'ma invest in my life
Hold on
I know there ain't no rail
I know there really
ain't no way to tell
If we're gonna make it out alive
At least in one piece
No one piece could unleash
The hunting for a healthy mind
To make it through
the rest of this fight
I hope we make it through
the rest of this night

Nothin like the smell of
garlic n onion
Bring to a boil
Sing to the soil
I'm far from being done
Close to edges so sharp
They could cut hair
Be-ware
The trees stare
And listen to you when
No ones around
Hear it fall
Yeah it makes sound
Jackhammer raps
I break ground
And shake hands
Like salt n pepper
See me around
I'm Runnin shit like 10ks
Someday ill make
a track worth 10k
...Or a verse worth a million
Damn my mouth a purse
Curses I wear on my shirt
And on my sleeve
Im left behind with spirits
To others dimensions they leave
Y'all havin great ideas
But on which ones will you lead
Then proceed I want to see
It done, I'm happy to help
But if you askin me
to stack these cards dealt in bad health
I'm in no shape well
See what I'm sayin
is what's a well with no water
On a collar called Dasani
1800 I'ma caller
can you pick up
Cuz no one gon
wanna want me
Dried up in the sun
Looking for white mans money
I'm a bee at HEB
shopping for honey
Fuck your deals
Never gonna "just deal"
I'ma do what I want cuz
that's how I feel!!!!!
In the young our stories shunned
They Aimin guns and blamin us
Framing us taming
then shaming us
We paint the grudge
Built over generations
This demonstration
demands the government
start payin up
payin us
Way more than
Minimal modern wage
Written on this page is
a Maximum sentence
Of 500 plus years owed
To every ancestor
From every ancestor

Put em up
Do you feel me
Let me hold it down
I wanna write rhymes
Like shonda rhimes writes
A palm, a pines spike
Something like a Pirahana
parading down the avenues
Of scattered truths
that look at you
with attitude
..and follow like shadows
Swallowed the truth
Do u Make 7.25 dollars an hour
Honestly Life wouldn't be what it is
without the white tips
Construction money
allows me housing,
weed, and vegan options
For the brown community
I hit an auction
from the center out
I climb up the aloe
To Design my life like Vera
Believe I've seen true terror
where the world seem like it
couldn't get any scarier
Before you compare me
Try n tell me
you ain't a crab in a barrel
Could cost u a limb n a leg
After all this shit I'm handed
What could I really prepare for
That I don't already
Know this strength
Roots from my Tia Leti
I rise center out
Felt
mentally liberated by 15
feel even better now,
it's like I'm christening
I'm tender but my feathers plow
The wind like the farms
Where my mamu picked
Break ya bones
(Ima build mor than what yo blueprints propose
You can take yo throne
See i levitate
U Type them tweets
I meditate
Go ahead n can take yo phone
..
I want to travel so bad
But i never want to leave my home
Where I wake up to tacos
And drive to the studio
Served on a dish's reverb dropped on the floor of a kitchen
Listen
closely
Tell me exactly
what you think that I'm missin
Where the brink is hidden
Curtains so red
you would wonder
where the blood is
Stained the stage
Hopefully songs
Explain my rage
BecuZ It's what's real
I'll try to balance
I'll gauge
What I want to hear
N where I need to focus
To pin desire reewire how I approach it
To make sound that gets you thru the day
Sums up my motive
But maybe music could open
an extended conversation
between you and I
..It's true that I,
know you fucked up in life
Same as I
I read them as components
Of a larger map
What about the times
you held it down for love
And really gave it back
It's These details
... I appreciate and notice
Even if no one can tell
Sometimes the pain overtake our intentions
you mean well
Maybe we'll
make it out alive
N make a note of it
Then have a story to tell
We'll feel enormous in
Thought we finished
bounce back like a chorus
have a statue like Selena
La Reina de Corpus
Even this corpse will compost
My spirit is cordless

Paralyzed
I've looked in peril's eyes
...
Prepared for Y
Things just don't make sense
Or work out sometimes
I want to find
Roses in the concrete
"Woke up on the wrong side
Too much to gain
Too much to lose
Learn this life is
not what you choose"
(Written by Blakchyl -http://www.blackchyl.bandcamp.com)
Had to cum twice
I felt Once ain't enough
Appetite exponential
Craft is a must
Ash from the blunt
Looks I gave my traitors
Unpackaged the hums
Terrain so Texan
We tearin it up
Said to be grateful
To cherish the crumbs
...Compare me to none
can't box me in faces
I've faded through fazes
Won't hide my engagements
I've danced w the devil
the devil kept prayin
I'd never look back
But my spine felt inflated
My back-of-head eyes
Thought They knew this sensation
But new and so nude
Their eyes stared in amazement
Every new week,
days become dates
Gotta keep consolidated
makin appointments
Like doctors do patience
Thinkin you Teaching me
By testing my patience?
Fuckin me
gotta get tested
Luckily
Kno I'm center stage anxious
With nothing to lose
But shallow temptations
I rock like temptations
Like Ruben Ramos
I sing for the culture
Eternally sainted
Cough
This contagious
Unlocked
Out the cages
I'm off
to see wizards
Orientation
Is over
Talk became conversation
Convo become discussion
Followed by argument irritation
Instructions not included
No commas
Just straight thru
To the farm
Far from this
pharmaceutical city
I want paid dues
For my fam
Who earned less
than what they worked for
I rhyme until the 69th
hear the first floor...

y, i [beat by Brown V. Board]
PT I
Pictures of my lyrics
on milk carton backs x4
I'm at a loss for words ...
no where to be found
Owe it to ya fam
To slow it so its round: 360
By that I mean your intent transparent
you can hold it in ya hand
N show em like that......
Tests of Integrity,
lingerie never worn by these words
I swear you'll never see thru
it's all on the table
in front of you
This is what is
And this is where I'm at
Not where I'll stay
But where my back
Faces
I'm Cole with two faces
I'm Santa with Coal
Flying two spaceships
He didn't do this
Neither did she
Then who made this?
I'm a take this
To the edge
Something like a pledge over
Sharp objects my pen is a knife
Let me cut through all the bullshit
And say whatta I gotta say
To make things right
PT II
Queen of Sheba
More like King of pita n pizza
For every late night
We spent spending no money
Or times we felt rich
I knew you could be my boo
And I could be your bitch
Bitch,
I wanna watch the eclipse
I wanna spot out every detail
no one sees
I'd love to hear you speak
On matters that capture
Life in color
3456 D
You have anyone to choose
I can't believe you pick me
Day 1,
Synysthe
Sia, if you don't hear this now
I hope in time it'll reach ya
I wanna laugh w you...
I wanna draw Zines over graph paper
grow plants w you
I wanna fake dance w you
I'm your Maurice
And you my ethyl
Can we explore
At the same time take life slow
Maybe settle
But never down lookin
Always looking forward
To seein you
I prolly smell like tacos
Weed or came from peelin fruits
But you don't give a damn
My hearts spilling over
They say I need a damn
I fly w you
I feel so fly with you
Feel the buzz
I'm a flie with you
See what I can do
With time n patience
And moments of
Reflection
I'll die for you
Love livin
When life means
gettin to say hi to you
If not daily at least every other
You even family to my sis dad and mother
You a Padilla
What's bread without butter?
my first true lover
You love me n the love I have for other lovers
You keep me Warm in the winter
N cold in the summer
Hold on tight we ain't far
I know the ride gon be bumpy
But I'm on board if you are
PT III
If I hold you any closer
You Gon fall into my skin
You gon call me more than names
You gon melt into my train
Of thought
before we eat we pray
before we love
We say
Much respect for your dualities
Spiritualitiy
Believe in heaven
I don't need to - I'll be at your place
in 30 minutes
Can I breath through
These moments
Where Einstein himself
Is like daaaammmmnnn
I ain't ever seen gravity
In your smile vanishing
Put me on to Orpheu & Vanity
Euridce Euridce Euridce Eurdice
Can't open a can of me
I can't thank you for
showing me love
All I can do
Is show you what's up
In the skies
Aren't We in the clouds?
Where the rain takes a new form
And the pain breaks in blue orange
I can see it:
If you wanna go to water
We should swim
If you wanna read a book
We should go to the library then
run through your imagination
Exploration of a newer view
If you tried could you show me
a truer you
Cuz even I
ain't even seen this side of mine
Congruent moons
Come in the tri-
Fecta- every time we kiss
Every time it's bliss
Knowin I ain't cis
Truly You my sis, Cic
(I insist)
Moments like this
I couldn't miss
(I can't resist)
For more
I wish
Truly a goddess
Like a distant star came down to earth and spoke
With every touch I think of new words that I could've wrote
To describe the sensation I feel
Maybe it's what seasons sing when they change
Or clothes we just bought didn't wash but change into anyways
Yeah! It's something like that
Like a fresh sticker never
peeled from the cap
A super hero to me
With or without a cape
Sometimes it feels like
Your the reason Y I rap

A whole year since Morena One
Forever love
And self defense
Conduct my hum
You know the tune
Erupt in song
I prolly gotta chorus
A verse or two
That I'm working on
Everything my memory
Allows me
I'll return the sum..
Return every morning
daily meetings with the sun
Watch me one up myself
Plenty done
Kill it like
FBI
Did Afeni's son
...
Healthy relationships
Comprise my only trophies
I've already won
On some level
I know I've grown
Take a look at the pelo
Que pedo
I'm tea kettles
Can't settle
Yet plenty calm
Y'all leasin confidence
Consequence clear as day
Common sense tellin me
Y'all fake as ever,
one scene n a take
But I ain't prey
I'll just pray
You'll click record
Or click play
my sound anthems
Panoramic views
Santa everyday
Front door open
I got keys
cuz these keys
Can be
Any
Instrument I please
Ima take this one
That one n one of these
Branches from the trees
My scope is endless
I got
Front row seats
