I am P.O.S.

I be the new generation of slaves

Here to make papes off this land corporation's rape

From that life I'm tryin' to separate

But I guess I'm livin' dreams cuz my rent's always a month late

Product of an East German Black

Who kissed the neck, of a pretty woman named Grace

But he left my life just a little too soon

Didn't see me catch the Doomtree fame

As we go a little somethin' like this

Look mom, no protection, now I got a baby boy by the name of Jake

And I been tryin' to play the cowboy to rustle in the dough

When I think I'm getting' better every passin' day

I'm not an early bird, plus the feathers' all black

So by the time I catch an apple, usually it's rind

But it's a must to decipher one's girl

From the round, sweet apples that are rotten on the inside

I cherish my free time

But I maximize so my soul needs to unwind

I wanna see the stars be the moon to my son

(But I'm always on the run, run, run)

I fake to all these hard-case kids

I raise a black fist

But won't say [nigga] in the things I write

De La Souls Lyrics on

And I don't say [faggot]

Cuz I don't think it's right

I know my boy struggle with that for over half his life

I guess we got our own lives to live

But I'm stretched too thin, tryin' to build a kingdom to rule

And I think to the past sometimes

And dag man, it's bad, see I kinda acted like a fool

But I've apologized to the lives that I've touched

Wrong pride, to the back, move ahead strong

But I can safely say

I've never played a woman without karma catchin' up later on

I try to walk the right side of the tracks

But I've hopped a couple trains

Mom would cry if she knew the haps

But I can stand who I am

And face the day straight

Knowin' not a thing can change what our beat singin'

[Hook]

No one will ever be, like me

No one will ever be, like me

I know I'm not a bad guy, but when I try to do what's right

Everyone who comes to me don't understand or see my plight

Everything I've ever done, and all the plans I've had inside

I was Mr. Gone Wrong in way, so I gave up and said

(Alright)

So now I do what I can, I'm

(Alright)

Stand up like Mama raised me

(Alright)

I was dealt from the bottom

And pulled a flush

I've been livin with my chips all in

And I'm still in see

[Hook]

I am P.O.S.

I be the new generation of slaves

Here to make papes off this land corporation's rape

From that life I'm tryin' to separate

But I guess I'm livin' dreams cuz my rent's always a month late

And lookin' back it seems I've always been a step behind

Little off-track and feelin' no one shared a frame but mine

Listenin' to records in my room to escape

Found some things I could relate with, I wore out the tape

We said

When I lose, every time I win, cuz

No one will ever be,

Messin' up stuff or doin' things wrong

Quite like me

[Hook x2]

Jeez.. I left that comment 3 years ago haha. But honestly I was 16 when I left that comment and I don't even remember this song. But I'm sure I was just being an asshole and apologize to anyone who was offended. Also, I enjoy POS a lot now.

Clearly you are a bit arrogant without knowing it. To say the creator of all things made a mistake, rather than take accountability is not only arrogant, but extremely lazy as well. We are all perfect, and if we all held ourselves accountable for this, heaven would be visible, here now on Earth, just as Bob Marley says too. WAKE UP PLANET, PLEASE!!! :-)

I do in a few ways agree with you. Your stance on one word though is too singular. Creation is perfection.. well we created Guns, Swords, Weapons of all kinds ect ect, we created torture and we creations choose to murder and torture with other creations. Creation is not perfect, nobody is perfect. The concept of perfection is a falsehope that gives people a sense of lust and strive to better themselves towards it. Never become it though, its impossible. I wish all people wernt bad, but they are.
