Hashtag, There's Your Trouble
A Poem On Expectation
velvet gloves and diamond rings
crying doves when angels sing
should've worked out, but man, it didn't
major fail, with a hashtag in it
expectations the common cause of trouble
new translations make a poor man chuckle
prospects here, that should wear a muzzle
living inside his self made bubble
rolling around with my gospel gun
shooting my mouth off just for fun
made the timid start to run
in black and white you can't see the blood
tellin' tales that just don't add up
tryin' to fill a fractured cup
look at you, you don't look so tough
tell me now, are you givin' up?
velvet gloves and diamond rings
crying doves when angels sing
should've worked out, but man, it didn't
another major fail, with a hashtag in it
