Satchel Paige

Can't force it that’s when it go wrong
Torch the paper, coping through the smoke fog
I text you later, hope the flames ain’t go off
Go out sad, never that
Go out bad, I never swing when at bat
She crossing boundaries, why I reward her for that
I get hypnotized when the ass is as fat as my ego
When you kill yours that’s when we grow
But until then, I’ll play the bullpen
I don't know if I’ll ever pitch
Searching for knives when life was a bitch
Remember, burdens and trauma strikes my mind lies in abyss
I try to strike love at the right time but I miss
I try to resist day to day the lips that I kiss
Try to empower my people, we’ll rise with the fist
Underground top five, why am I not on the list
Why my, father meet my jaw with his fist
Why my momma got the cancer like papa that we miss
Can’t hug my granny cause of Covid and shit
Can’t hug a dollar cause money and time ain’t real
I hope before nirvana I find time to heal
Find time to heal, my nigga
