Crazy Ramblings of the C.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

I get up this morning, and I feel quite strange.
Is the world crazy or am I insane?
If I am incorrect, then I stand corrected.
Do I always seem so overprotective?

Or am I suggestive?
With the things that I say?
Does every single word get taken the wrong way?
What you do not know is my real intention,
Because the nobleness of it is from untold dimensions.

You say I hold on, but I have let go.
It's the tension about that goes to show.
Every day I sit and wonder what is best.
To have a great friendship and to rupture it over a test.
I don't want it no more than you do to,
And trust me that is one thing that I say and mean true.
You may think I'm trying to hold you in my wing,
But in honesty I wish to fly away and sing.

So every day when it's quiet,
I sit here and look at the occasional riot.
I think to myself, will it ever come?
The true friendship that won't have another cycle of no fun.
I want to see things change more, and I couldn't say it again.
But sometimes I see things happen and I feel I can't win.
So I feel the only alternative is to say.
We shouldn't talk anymore and go our seperate ways.

In that moment I feel that it would be best,
To put our past behind and our problems to rest.
But doing that also bothers my mind,
Do I have to be so cruel to be so kind?

Sometimes I feel we can never get along,
Because the past was too hard and the guilt was so strong.
I see hidden tension behind the mist,
And I know deep down that something is still amiss.

Don't see me as envious, because that's not fair.
I want the best and for it to remain there.
I give respect and I want the same
I want to be seen as a person behind the name.

So I give and give and give some more,
It gets so hard that it becomes a chore.
But I realize there one person that hasn't anything left.
Because once again I forgot to give to myself.

If I had done this a long time ago, where would I be?
Would I finally be released of all of these burdens and remian so free?
Would I finally get an ease of mind?
Can I finally search elsewhere and see what I find?

Hopefully after this, it will be an even road,
And we won't have our days of deep, cold snow.
No more games and no more woes.
Just going forward like time should show.

I need to put my others on here from KMC

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Alone in the dark, I will never have to fear

I got someone to count on, who will always be here

To listen to what I say, hear what I mean

Someone far away, that I have yet to have seen

Alas on my mind, is some derision

The consequences for unintentional decisions

A person who was always there to listen

And didn't take what I said and arouse it with suspicion

Someone I knew

Someone I trust

Someone who's beauty was never associated with lust

Times of fatiuge, sleep, and exaustion

This person talked to me without caution

A person who has faced bad in the past

A person thats hard to make smile, much less, laugh

That person, I had for so much hope

Seems like the ties we had at once, broke

So what else is there for me to say?

Will a tomorrow, be a better today

A person, who didn't want love until it was correct

A person, whose vow I chose to uphold and respect.

Who is this person, where is the person?

I talked to, when their happiness worsened

A frown, turned upside down.

A person, who made me feel like a silly clown.

With my favorite kirby in moving so cute in that sig

A person, who I want to love while I live.

Do you know that person

Do I

That is hard to decide....

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

A little silly is the next one, game style...


Hadoken, Shoryken!!

Here comes ryu, with his main man ken

With their power they're going to win

With warps teleports and flames

The bad guys are going to be the ones put the shame

They really have noone to blame but themselves

They should be at the library stacking up shelves

Ryu is getting stronger by the day

For that challenge against the dark hadou that comes his way

he is the supreme master of fist known as akuma

makes guile look like a joke with his sonic boomah

there's no surprise

open your eyes

all that goes in these guys way dies

people don't want to admit their power

I prove them wrong and they go sour

its okay I can keep on doing this for an hour

broke the chains

played the game

sf is great because it stays the same

the best things in life never change

not that it matters

against the great one called the c master

I come in

bruise you chin

you already know that I would win

just like my main man ryu and his friend ken

C-Master 2005

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

If that was wierd...


DAMN!

Alakazam, Blastoise and squirtle

pokemon are here and it aint no turtle

ready to come up and attack really fast

comes charizard and his fire blast

remember the days

friends would trade

and still cards from each other?

I still have all of mine

in a binder so thick they outweigh my brother

bulbasaur and dragoinite were my best

they always won and put another trophy on my chest

there was the magic of the power in jynx

remember the days where the old gameboys would link

those were fun

I always won

I went against the crowd

for crying out loud

and still came in and just had to blast it

if you couldn't keep up at all you just passed it

which was okay

I promised to stay

my cards always showed me the way

ash ketchum, misty, brock

had so many pokemon

and that cool one was made of rock.

How did you like the rhyme that popped.

C-Master 2005

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

SPIDERMAN!!!

Spiderman, spiderman

does whatever a spider can

as he swings and he lands

he beats up wolvie man

watch him crawl

watch him shoot

as he gives baddies the boot

if you try to run away

he webs you in place to stay

he's even been

on several games

Seperation anxiety, a bell it rings

spiderman from activision

I beat up venom

all on my telivision

turned around

it was time

spiderman in the movies

at his prime

go at ends

make it show

we know his presence is invincible

if you come

then you're stopped

he gives you

a super POP

ties you up

with his string

a webbing that

is capable of many things

then he leaves

to mary jane

she does her job

and gives him br##n

no more vulgar

language using

its my privelege

I've been abusing

out of time

I must stop

try again

and call me pop

I know I rule

and i win

I'm just hoping you get this AGAIN

try as you might

try as well

try against me

and you're sure to fell

serve you up

like the guys at Taco Bell.

Peace

Self convo...


When this is said

Once this is read

And this is done

I'm the one

Who will put you through greatest test

Because you know that i am the best

Once you understand that you will lose

Then you will see you have nothing to prove

I'm doing this rap

getting you slapped

around and up and down and down

I"m going to make that smile turn into a frown

Is that all you got

your rhyme got popped

Is all right because I wont stop

You think you got me flipped

dealing with me gets you a bloody lip

if you can't do more

you're a bore

why don't you leave and watch the fantastic four

if you want me to get this done without making you snore

then lets drop the gloves

show me some love

and understand that the cmaster is above

all the mortals who are on this thread

you thought you had a chance its all in your head

Peace

Four superheroes running through the night

Trying to correct things that aint right

They are red, orange, blue and purple

And they've been around longer than steve erkiel

They are brave, honest, and good

watching after us in the neighborhood

Red, orange, blue, and purple

if you aint guessed it right its the ninja turtles

Chorus: "The ninja turtles are here with two toes.

rocking this sphere known as a globe"

"The ninja turtles are here with two toes.

rocking this sphere known as a globe"

Back to the track, that we all know now.

Put down the turtles, they wish they knew how.

Finally coming in, with a devious plot

Those bad guys thought they had it on lock

What they did is kidnap a friend

Trying to steal a devious win

Problem is they didn't hear from behind the bin

Those guys who would bust their chins...

Chorus: "The ninja turtles are here with two toes.

rocking this sphere known as a globe"

"The ninja turtles are here with two toes.

rocking this sphere known as a globe"

As the battle of good ol fashioned skill ensued

april was tied, unable to do the news

When up from high, came an attack with blue

Leonardo leading his gang, with the normal crew

Out came the footsoldiers, stomping the ground

The sound of "COWABUNGA", made them profound

All that was left was shredder

rocksteady and beebop, didn't make it better

Once they finished with the mutant two

They found themselves with the leader of the crew

Mikey was in as fast as a breeze

Leonardo cut em' up like pepperoni and cheese

Donnie came in with a swipe

Raph ran him over with his bike

Let this be a lesson in all that I'm saying

Cause good versus evil equals confrontation

Why are they the heroes of the hour

Cause they possessed, turtle power...

Chorus: "The ninja turtles are here with two toes.

rocking this sphere known as a globe"

"The ninja turtles are here with two toes.

rocking this sphere known as a globe"

I'm the C-Master the fanboy slayer

Slaying a bunch of fanboys who hate the player

when I come on they need to say their prayers

slaying from the left

slaying from the right

slaying through the day

slaying through the night

they don't like what I say

but they tremble in fright

thats alright

I have no problem with spite

reminds me of starcraft

"need a light"

They talk stuff on wolverine and spiderman

they go off because I know they're diehard fans

Its not my fault they make it as easy as they can

I'm the one who lays out the master plan

if any of them feel bad, wrong, or sour

let me know whats on after 24 hours

I see you are esteemed to know my magic

how these fanboys die is rather tragic

I make it well into a habit

because I got it baby, I got it

C-Master 2005

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Some dark mushy stuff...


I look over to my left

somethings missing, but what, who

I wish I'd overslept

because something is misconstrued

My fascination with time, peace, and hope

I missed the one thing, that mattered the most

He was near but far, outside but within

I tried to think of him, but it wasn't registering in

Living together in early years

one who erased, but caused some tears

an innocence lost, a soul thats free

why do we try to hold on to the things that don't belong to us, to we

If we know that bird is better in paradise

why do we try to cage it up, and tell it that its right

a lesson, learned time and time again

what happens when you let someone in

be it family, lover or friend

It seems like sorrow, it seems like sin

where was he, I couldn't see

would he ever come back to me

who was it, it wasn't a lover

the person I missed was my brother...

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

off beat

consequences are what we make

choices of good, choices of mistake

to err is human, to forgive devine

to blame is low, to show mercy is great

why do we do things we know hurt so much

is it the knowledge of less counsequence, the lack of touch

if we feel so great about another

why do we send them in the gutter

to know, acknowledge and trust is what brings us together

hope, faith, and will, helps us stand through the better

so why with some is there never a second chance

why are we so quick to have that last word that stance

if the value of friendship is so much

why the hate, why not the touch

a mistake redeemed, the feelings ensue

from a high disposition, to a shallow blue

love is the strongest feeling, but it is so selfish

has anyone heard of the emotion, or ever felt this

ponder, wonder, and imagine how things would be

to overenvelop on what they could be

so hesitant to accept what they indeed should be

why?

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

What is better than raw fish

who says it has to be in a dish

nothing like grinding a raw fish in a blender

something sounds quite right for dinner

If you really want to feel macho

grind your fish, and put it in a taco

the possibilities are endless the choices sound

what happens when you suck raw fish down

you like it if its gray or brown

when it makes that "sluck!!!!" sound

get out of town!!!!

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Tribute to Left Eye Lisa Lopes...

I seen a rainbow yesterday

but too many storms

have come and gone,

leaving a trace of not one god given ray

is it because my life was ten shades a gray

I pray all ten fade away,

seldom praise him for the sunny days

and like his promise was true

only my faith can undo

the many chances I blew,

to bring my life to anew

clear blue and unconditional, skies

have dried the tears from my eyes,

no more lonley cries

my only bleeding hope

is for the folk who can't cope

which such an enduring pain

that it keeps them in the pouring rain

who's to blame for tooting cane into your own veins

what a shame,

you shooting aim for someone elses brain

you claim the insane,

and name this day in time

for falling pray to crime

I say the systems got you victim to your own mind

dreams are hopeless aspiriations

in hopes of comng true

believe in yourself

the rest is up to me and you

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Whats with the 0000000, I had always meant to ask that...


Hold still, sit back, and listen

I like potatoes, hotsauce and chicken

I like it so much, I may not be christian

see what I mean, don't like repititon

I like chicken, i loves my chicken

watch it boil, and the skin thickens

a nice fine flavor thats juicy to the touch

you can eat it, with that white dust

called flour, its never sour

I like it, that special powder

listen to me again, please listen

get out my thread if you don't like chicken.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

A rose by other terms

heightened by her lesson

a day, she had ensued

nothing would have her prepared

a man, not tall not short

held her hand that day

grasped it tight, but sincere

Rose by another name

what happened to before

parents apart, love still shown

never would she forget that day

who would try

sidewalk glistening, streets buzzing

alive

that man

had so much effect

do you know that man

Rose does

every weekend each visit

each return so sure

until next week comes

rose would wait

did it seem as it was

was it meant to be

a man so close

limited to simple conversation

what one could hold back

a talk so pure

Rose by another name

her father she saw and loved

until next weekend.

*bows*

Thank you, I must admit I was a totally different person back in these days.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Tighten up ready for a craze

storm of conflict set ablaze

warriors of distance, time, future, and present

nothing is peaceful anymore, life isn't like a pheasant

overseas, legions of chaos ensued

mutilated bodies all over the news

friends, family, were isolated

lovers with hope concentrated

how did I feel, as I donned those boots

how did I feel as carnage ensued

we men had our duties and so did they

who was right, who was wrong what gave me a right to slay

focus on the task at hand

dying supposedly made you a man

home far lost, gone away

for exchange children see a better day

people say it was weapons others say it was gas

was that worth making a man breathe his last

children walked up to you for a hug

laced with a bomb to blow you up

sacrificed at the hands of grown men

was it them doing the greater sin

injuries, hurts, pain, and loss

suffer so much it has a cost

who and what made us get those "cheaters"

the man in the office we call our leader.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

There are many fanboys within

one of them is called luffyjin

a crazy case if one I ever new

He thought jin beat evil ryu

I pulled out points and counters

he resorted to whining against the power

with really nothing else left for me to do

I ripped him a new one, and it grew, oh boy it grew.

He said some deragatory comments

sensitive readers would want to vomit

I told him a little tale that I presented

he went on and said that I was demented

at the end of all that great fuss

dave 123 gave him a bust

it was a good read if you must

I was naughty, and HAD to cuss.

He went on more and more

making threads, like an attention whore

he got staled and made one for me

he got dissed out where all eyes could see

to jin I hope this was a lesson

NEVER try to remove a fanboy slayer from his profession

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Mods mods, those funny guys

all that power within them lies

so much influence, so much will

they are the ones, people give their will

why oh why do we have so many mods

mods that float from a report on the spot

some are funny, some are cruel

some themselves, break the rules

some are male, some are not

some are ugly, some are hot

why does everyone want to be a mod

do they know the pressure that comes with that job

mods mods mods

remind me of a hot rod

what else could we do with them

there prescence can make ours glim

it can be a significant boost in pride

for which we walk the day with delight.

Mods...

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Fight fight fight is all we do

why do we take love and misconstrue

why do the ones who aren't promised tomorrow

the same ones we give so much sorrow

brother and sister, parent alike

we don't want to hug, we'd rather bite

when times come to push and shove

they protect us more than the thickest glove

so why, why is it necessary

why do we not act like its the 14 of feburary

why so much spite, hatred and burn

12 deaths in 4 years is my lesson learned

why can't we just try and get along

why do I say such painful songs

do we like hurt like masochists or sadists

do we want to forget what we were tought to practice

alas, I feel no need for this to agitate

peace, and happiness is what I insinuate

go back to the times of before

where there was happiness, hate and anger no more.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

I was once in a cell, under a lock
I got the guard, gave him a sock
I had to get out
where to, I had to escape
I needed to leave before it was too late
so I thought real fast, I was a quick schemer
I headed to the room with the washers and cleaners
within in a few hours it was nice and quiet
snuck on out, to avoid causing a riot
met a man, his name was cain
he said if I helped him, my reward wouldn't be in vain
so I took the keys and let him out
thinking he would help me without doubt
I looked again, and saw his face
he cheated with my wife, and took her out for a date
as much as I wanted to escape, I couldn't regret
what he did, and why I was so upset
a fight ensued,out in the parking lot
a sniper hurriedly located the spot
seeing this as opportunity, I pushed him at the light
a bullet was shot, thus ending the fight
I had to escape, and get out quick
To do this well, I had to be slick
Jumped on the bike I raced for freedom
The cops gave chase, I said "shit who needs them"
So i parked my bike, and went for a swim
the dogs came after, not going out on a limb
came back up, where was I then
back in the cell a result of my sin
how did I get there do you ask
the fight with my wife, about cain that cracked

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Ah dock ock, how sweet of you to notice me
and be jealous of the fact I get more booty than a toilet seat
funny thing is you make less and less rhyme
a sure sign that you have fallen out of your prime
whats wrong, my words puttin you to sleep
I see you like smilies, and thats all that I see
I came in early, and I took all the keeps
trying to sound smart, but you sound quite weak
you peeps mean little, they help you sun
about as effective as firing blanks for the gun
and through all this banter you probably didn't notice
that the man with grenades, is me, right out the service
blast what you say, like an M16,
nothing to sing
is that all, please have something to bring
You brag about peoples moms like you want them
You probably stay on more dick, than a trojan condom
listen to me
then you'll see
Why you'll log off for about 2 weeks
as for the space
save the hate
I already knew you couldn't properly read
You try to make poetry a science, I make it an art
send you all packing, with you boys who aint smart
Using silly words, like penny and ninny
You think you got props, well I get plenty.

Tell me what you think of the lyrics that sent me.

Days of the duke

One of my favorite past times

Was a game with many load times

Not that it mattered, it was nice and brave

The fun was great, although there was no save

Slaughtering foes

Picking up hoes

All this is done on the levels

Many different bars

Blowing up cars

The game was so deep I needed a shovel

Innovative and nice this game was true

I played it before the song "I'm blue"

While the content was for adults

I played it find, without parent consult

Even every now and again

I'll pop it out and let the CD spin

Rpg's, pipe bomb's and devastators

I used the shotgun, and saved the rest for later.

There wasn't a better game where you could shoot them

Reminiscent of the times had in duke nukem.

That boy....

A young man wanted to make money, to be rich.

At first he took it too literally, and attempted to actually make money, and his father caught him, before he and his friends got in trouble.

He asked his son," what were you thinking, why would you want to do something like that?"

The son replied," I want to be successful in life to make money.

His father was taken aback but amused at the same time, "son, you really want to make money?"

His son said, "yes, I wish to do so, I wish to make money,"

His father told him," well a friend of mine, owns a company, he can teach you how."

So his son started working for his fathers friend. The job was intense work, cleaning out machines, lifting heavy loads, and what the boy hated most, having to wait last in line to eat. To top it off he was paid 3 pennies a week.

About a month thereafter, the boy became furious, he simply couldn't withstand it anymore. He went and confronted his fathers friend.

" You lied to me!!" said the young man.

" What do you mean?" said the boss of the job, calmly sitting behind his desk.

" You are a child abuser, and a very bad man!!", said the young boy, with tears streaming down his face, unable to look the man in the eyes.

" What have I ever done to you?", replied the boss, still calm.

" You told me you were going to teach me how to make money!!", yelled the boy. He was quite unused to yelling at adults.

" I've done nothing but try to instill how to teach you how to make money.", replied the boss.

" You've done the opposite, you haven't given ANY lessons. Instead you make me work here for 3 cents a week!!", screamed the little boy, letting that anger come to life.

"Its the same I pay my other people starting off.", replied the old man, now seeming frustrated.

"I don't see how ANYONE works for you!!", replied the boy.

" Neither do I, neither do I", said the boss, hoping his message was sinking in...

" What do you mean?" asked the young man, thrown back.

" You aren't the first person to complain, many others have expressed their dissatisfaction and frustration with this occupation. What do you suppose they do?", ask the boss.

" If I were them, I would quit" said the boy, more confident than ever.

" Yes, some of them quit. But do what? Many of them go on to other jobs, and are dissatisfied there. Others bite their teeth and work here, not doing anything else.", explained the boss.

" Thats because you are a cheater, and a fraud", said the boy, now feeling a little admittedly guilty.

" Why is that, I pay them, they choose to work, your father asked me to teach you how to make more money.", explained the boss.

" You should be paying them more", said they boy.

" Why should I? They choose to work here, only a few show real potential, most just want a check to go home to, I'm giving them what they put out.", said the boss.

"Why are you any different than them, would you like to be treated the same way?, chided the young man, soon to learn his lesson.

"No, I'm proud to say I'm glad I was treated like that, unlike them, I wanted something, I worked for it, I didn't accept anything. I kept going at it, until I got where I wanted to get, I've been doing you the same way.", said the old man.

" oh" , sighed the young man, dumbfouned.

" Now to want more, we have to want more...., said the old man, finishing his discussion. "Now I'll let you go now, I can't have workers fighting with me", laughed the old man.

The kid held his head up high that day, learning something new, that the possibilites were endless.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

Tell me a lie

Just tell me a lie.

Smething just seems wrong,

Something isn't quite right.

Why are you always gone?

Instead of outright confessing,

And telling me the truth.

Do me a blessing,

And keep those words to you.

Don't think you have misread,

Into what I have been trying to say.

Tell me a lie keep me mislead,

You really want to get away.

Tell me you love me, miss me, touch me.

Tell me you yearn me, love me, and lust me.

Is this just a simple poem?

Or does it have a greater meaning?

Do I want to be left alone?

Or is my heart really scheming?

If you tell me how you feel,

will it do less harm or more hurt?

If this is all for real,

Wouldn't you care about me getting hurt

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

BACK AND FORTH

Back and forth these feelings go,

Where they stop, noone knows.

Do they go, or will they end,

Is this true, or just pretend?

Will it stay, or will it fall?

Will it sprint, or will it stall?

Questions.

Questions ensue.

Is this right for me, I hope it is right for you.

Pain and suffering is what life delivers,

Am I simply like a bow, tucked inside a quiver?

Are we really gold, or are we less than silver?

Questions.

Is to love to be, to exist, feel?

Or is a selfish thing, with others feelings we steal?

Is there a chance, is there a dream, is there hope?

Are there any answers, from even within a quote?

Am I wrong, or am I right?

Is it day, or actually night?

Questions.

Am I making these words, or are they making me?

Till the end of my life, these are the answers I seek.

Pain, love, hate, pleasure, good, and vice.

Is fufilling a passion worth the ultimate sacrifice?

Questions.

Reflections
Looking back, on what I have done.

Living a life of pleasure, scorn, and adorn.

Feelings so mixed with a nauseating feel.

Rise up slow, fall down fast.

What these things now mean to me.

Where would I be?

Who would I know?

Pain and sorrow, love and hope.

We need certain experiences to learn and grow,

Respect and feel,

Learn and appreciate,

To wane, to develop, to understand,

Those are key.

Cherish the ride.

Cherish the feel.

Tomorrow may not be yours to touch.

All do die, but some surely don't live.

Some never forget, others never forgive.

Back in my past, frustation and confusion lurks.

Things that hurt, and life that has evolved.

Throughout my trials and tribulations,

Hurts and pains,

I can truthfully say, there isn't a thing I'd change.
