Scarub's Poem

Last night I took a field trip
Kind of bent, hopped a fence
Cut across a playground and laid down in the cemetery
Reflecting on my past, present, and current events
Speech slurring I vented to the moon, swore she was answering me
Not literal, but in a spiritual sense
We spoke
Me, myself, and I, but I wasn't alone
In fact it felt that picture of a beach with footprints in the sand
You know the poem hanging in grandmama's home
Where does love come from?
Where does it go when its gone?
What takes its place?
And why does that space turn hard as stone?
Another year I am older today
In many ways I've grown
But in my head them, them questions still they roam
Riding the bike she said its like cycling in circles
With your eyes closed
No hands blind faith is what she called it man
Said life's an ocean with a lot of commotion
Once you dive in, yeah it's deep
But if you can swim it ain't mattering

Verse I:
Do you ever have those dreams where you know why
Everything just makes sense
Sit with God at low tide
Floating like we’re weightless
I’ve been feeling so high
On the road to greatness
Until you told me don’t lie
You know you need some patience
Take this and bring it along to heaven
Give it the time
You’re living to find
The answer to every question
This is divine
Get in your mind
It’s bigger than people’s perception
You want your wings for blessings
Get ready for your ascension
Chorus:
Tell me do you wanna fly now
Do you wanna hit the sky now
You ain’t even scared to die now
I’ve been feeling so alive now
Guess that we the vibe now
Do you wanna fly now
Do you wanna hit the sky now
I’ve been thinking it’s divine now
I Guess we just gotta find out
Yeah you know it’s time now
Verse II:
I pray to angels daily my thanks and praise
Then I lay to sleep
Away I say to hades
Fade to haze and make believe
Beneath the wings of deities
Taking me through all my dreams
I question for a second the heavens split
Slip through the seams
I guess there’s truer things
Than human beings that have to lie
What do you represent the moment when the cameras die?
Said I’ve been roaming all alone like I’m a samurai
Where I’m going I don’t ever know
But I just have to try
Chorus

Trying

Is it my fault?
I want the shit that I don’t need
Now is it my fault?
I forgot what you done told me
Now is it my fault?
Take away diversions from my heart
Cuz in this world this shit is all I got
Need a lifeline when it’s nighttime
Am I in my right mind?
Shit I don’t know
See them tight dimes
Sippin white wine
When the light shines
For their photos
White girl
With the white girl
Taking flights everywhere
And anywhere the snow blows
Truth is
That the truth lives
Deep inside that’s the type of shit that we Don’t show
Baby I’m trying
x2
It’s goin be a while
People judge but they don’t know shit
Y’all can get the fuck right up off my dick
Kept it all 💯 yeah you know I did
Praying I ain’t running from it oh don’t slip
Knowin that the devil working hard all day
He just gettin mad cuz I’m on my way
Saying up to God hope you hold my place
Where the grass is greenest yeah I know that’s safe
But I’m always distracted by things that I think that I need but I want
That’s just the reason I’m asking if this is my fault
I want the shit that I don’t need
Now is it my fault?
I forgot what you done told me
Now is it my fault?
Take away diversions from my heart
Cuz in this world this shit is all I got
Take a ride with me
Realize with me
That this shit ain’t really what it seems
Don’t justify with me
All the lies that we
Try to tell ourselves when we bought a dream
Like I don’t give a fuck
Imma live it up
Lights, camera, action
Let the show go
Truth is
That the truth lives
Deep inside that’s the type of shit that we don’t show
Baby I’m tryinnn

It's goin be a while

Faithful (feat. BAM)

Verse I (Scholar)
Ride around in my soul
I see you where ever I go
Light at the end of the tunnel
I funnel your glow
There’s something about it surreal but I can’t let it go
Feel like I’ve been here before
Feel like I been here before
Where’s my devotion?
Question my notions
Bottled emotions
Thinking I’m floating
Where am I going?
Looking to find a way to you
I know that I have questions
But you’re the one who gives me blessings
Hook:
Imma stay faithful
Imma stay faithful to you
And imma be grateful
Regardless of the states that I feel I’m going through
(2x)
Verse II (BAM)
I remember when I needed you
I remember when you came through
So here I am
Counting my blessings yeah
Your the lover of my soul
And you remain faithfully faithful
So here I am
Standing in your presence yeah
You're the reason why I'm here
You pulled me out of hate and fear
Now I'm living for you
The old is gone
Now I'm new
And I gotta stay faithful
Chorus

Verse I: (Scholar)
Fireworks be blazing we celebrating the new year
Think that I’m in heaven the question is what to do here
I asked you about the true resolutions for things that you fear
You said to go 100 I love it baby you’re too real
Been evolving the root of my sin’ll fade away
When I’m with you I feel I’m superman to save the day
The paint is black and white, but me and you can change the tray
We sit and color each other with 50 shades of gray
Thank Jehovah cuz you the one that I prayed for
Hos catch my attention but you the one that I stay for
Baring all the fruit for the truth that we need to pay for
You know it’s time to harvest and already start to make more
Thank you this season will be amazing
You’re changing every place that I stand for a point of view
I’m thinking of toasting to the occasion
Cuz most my life was vacant it’s grown since knowing you
Chorus:
Looking back there she was there was
Fast forward there she is there she is
Stay silent there she goes there she goes
Now I wonder where she go where she go
Looking back there she was there was
Fast forward there she is there she is
Stay silent there she goes there she goes
Now I wonder where she go
Verse II: (Shing02)
Oh
This can be a happy song, not a sappy song
The thinking hat is gone, but the cap is on
Aw backwards and the jeans sag, I was wrong
Yo I was lost deep in the forest of amazon
Baby I’m still stuck in babylon
I want you to be my rock, el capitan
Let me go to my shed and get my practice on
I said practice how many times iverson
Why do we hold hands it’s kinda cumbersome
But I feel the temperature and my tantrum gone
You calm me down when world goes autobahn
No speed limit cars flying out of bounds
No timeout either, whether webber knew old news
Kicking on the block maybe sipping on cold brew
Reminiscing on the whole crew
And I got mad love for ya sure fiyah, it’s all good
Chorus:

Chorus:
I think I finally figured out where the grass is the greenest
I figured out where it's greenest
x2
I'm thanking God got me speechless
Ah yeah
Verse I: (Scholar)
I took a trip to hell and back just to save my soul
There was a second I reckoned I wouldn't make it home
I reached to heaven, I caught a grip and it made me strong
Realized that life is a trip that I couldn't take alone
Create my zone, reminiscing back to 91'
My rigid condition, the minute that my time begun
I had a vision, my mission wishing to find the sun
Itching for some wisdom, the omniscient told me the time'll come
Where I'm from, I done came a long way
I tried to chase acceptance
That's stepping the wrong way
From setting the bong blaze
It's burning like Pompeii
To blessing every sentence the second the song plays
I
used to always think there had to be a greener side
Until I realized it's right where I stand
I'm dropping insecurities
All of my immaturity
Looking inside the mirror seen
A good ass man
I
Pre-Hook:
Never thought that I would see this
Getting past all my demons
I'm thanking God can't believe this
Yeah you know you got me speechless
Hook
The Grouch:
Searching for validation in validating my own
Looking for calculations to add up to cash in a home
And a chain and a girl
All the pain in the world
Don't hurt like the worthless feeling inside when I'm lost
I need a million likes to buy me my strength back, that's false
Only my light inside is needed to connect me to God
The green in my grass is directly affected by how I water my soul
So now I pour out my heart
It ain't wrong to have an ego, it's just how you use it
That's why we all have egos, but do we abuse them?
Self-depreciation is beating myself up
Your lawn's a vacation to me but I failed to
See all the angles
Appreciate my angels
Be all the things that
Bring all the blessings back
And not to get blessings, but because it's the right path
When I am my higher self, I got the greenest grass
Pre-hook
