One of my favorite poets is Eminem.. His journey and evolution as an artist is truly inspiring for me to witness. "Mockingbird" is a deeply personal piece and here is my own attempt over this haunting piano beat which he produced. Feedback much appreciated and always returned! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVR3VrrZQlg]Petey Lee - Mockingbird (free verse) - YouTube[/ame] *Lyrics* Baby i'm finally moving on in my heart not just my mind/ The pain is gone with every dawn as i take part and watch it rise/ I can see your eyes, cold as ice, freeze me til i crystallize/ Sometimes we bleed inside just to know we're still alive/ But i revived after i died, yet i was tied down by regret/ That sinking feeling when you're thinking of all the things we ever said/ I was laying in bed with memories replaying in my head/ And only God was by my side so i chose to put Him first instead!/ We broke bread til i was fed then our relationship began/ When i put my plans in His hands and became a better man/ Please understand that because i've loved you so/ I had to let you go for us to grow like a rose underneath the snow/ Cause we were so outta control, like two birds in a cage/ Young & crazed and full of rage, your smile set my world ablaze/ Our lips would graze as hips engage, you were afraid that things would change/ From honeymoon to break up stage, i carry scars that'll never fade/ At any rate, i had to recreate myself or detonate/ And fight for this life that i elevate for i'm really not the type to wait for fate/ When i make a mistake, then i innovate, no stressing just progression Cause there's always a lesson learned from every failure and rejection!/ You question my profession but my fans believe i'll make it/ I may not be a doctor yet i've always worked with patients (patience) I'm often imitated tho they can never replicate it/ I'm too creative in my spaceship as i sabotage the matrix!
