"PAY ME NO MIND"

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA Nelly!

Itz about to get HOT In Here!!!

Better grab some water

I'm a spokeman for da unspoken

Abused!

RestLess!

Depressed!

Deprived!

Homeless!

Aunts

Uncles

Sisters

Brothers

Mothers

Sons

Fathers

Daugthers

Even da cold cases swept under rugs from being slaughtered n torchered

I hear da yells n reveal what most won't, bring it to da forefront like a reporter 

Eye understand da merits in da lines dat you border

But I'm OLDSKOOL!

So feel da TRAILZ EYE BLAZE LIKE Clyde Drexler n Terry Porter

Eye was attempted at being aborted before I rose up n came outta da dark stench

Before all dis nonsense

Before dis earth took away my innocence

But once eye got caught in da eye of da storm, Like Don Henley dat was thee end of my innocence 

Even after offering my Best Defense

Eye was on my way to honoring da positives

My circle was filled wit good n bad within my conglomerate

Respect my freedom to speak as eye do yourz in a magnitude of most to elude DA TRUTH!

No D-12 but you see da lingerin' Proof

Dis goes for adults as well as da youth

What eye write on paper n SCREAM IN DA BOOTH!!!

Is meant to ENLIGHTEN!

Whether or not it touches a nerve or you like it!

Itz not about who shines da brightest

But he or she who takes what dey have in works wit those devices

Da other day my son put his arm around me while introducing me to his female friend, mother, n siblings n said,

"DIS DA MAN DAT RAISED ME"

FOR ME DAT SHIT WAS PRICELESS!!!

Eye don't make stuff up

Eye give you FACTS when I RIGHT DIS

N unlike some, eye don't walk around tryin' to act all righteous

Like Pac n Mary Blige

Eye put my life's reality in deez lyricz

When eye do it I don't hold back

I'M RELENTLESS!!!

N because of dat it may cause tension among my affiliates, strangers, haterz n enemies better known as henchmen

Niggaz might fear what dey don't understand when dey hear it

Or open up dey minds n relate to spirits kindred

Or get upset n wanna smear my name in a bar or a sentence

Just cause eye speak Dat REAL SHIT dat may be OFFENSIVE when you look in da mirror

COME CLOSE LIKE COMMON SO YOU CAN SEE ME CLEARER!!!

Deez are da things dat eye n those around me have been through

Eye could careless, but I'm not tryin' to offend you

Auntie said, "Kill em' wit kindness instead of a pistol"

I'm tryin' to get you to see da error in ya ways n uplift you

Whether you want to admit it or not, is up to you

But I put it out there to be comprehensible

Eye come from a family of morals n principles

Think before you talk n be sensible

Where grandpa held it down n grandma was da backbone of da throne

You can't see my vision if you can't BreakOut of your own prison

Listen!

Men n Women

Our forces are supposed to connect n bring joyful remnants

Dis generation n ours along wit others is on ahead on collision

Eye really hope you HEAR DA MESSAGE I'M SENDIN'!!!!!

ALL HANDS ARE DIRTY BUT CAN BE EXPUNGED THROUGH DA CREATOR WIT A GREAT CLEANSIN'

Even when we keep sinnin' n askin' for repentance

HE turns around n forgives da negatives we repeatedly aforementioned

I try to make my presence felt as we are only here for a short period in our existence

It takes time n it takes courage

A CONSTANT WAR WHEN YOU STEP OUTTA DAT DOOR

Not to mention da one RAGIN' inside ya bodily core

Some of us are never content, Always wanting MORE!!!

Just to survive n stay alive is a chore

Some of y'all bulbs is either not on or dim in da lighthouse

Itz funny how some think dey can see me when da lights out when dey own light out

Criticizin' like Alexander O'Neal n Eyein' what eye post like Richard Dreyfuss on a Stakeout

Without da violence

Eye transport knowledge n wisdom like Jason Statham n Ryan Reynolds

To get ya mentals in tune wit ya advisory parentals up in ya safe house

How you want it?

We can sit down n converse or get some chinese or fast food, go through da drive thru to take out

Da gloves is off buddy

Cats weight is light in HEAVYWEIGHT BOUTS!

EVERYBODY WANNA RULE DA WORLD LIKE TEARS FOR FEARS WHEN DEY SHOUT!

But what eye recite outta my mouth leaves no doubt of where I'm comin' from

Da same angle n slum Anthony Hamilton was comin' from

What eye say could get me killed or hung

But if you don't stand for somethin', You fall for anything son

Courtesy of  Dr. King while he was walkin' through da flames of what was on da horizen to come

Papi

Senorita

MITA!!!!!!!

Eye spit dat Lauryn Hill YOU LOST ONE!

Keep being close-minded cause you lost dunn

Don't get caught in my crosshairs

I Carry dat cross like Nas like everyone wears

Think Y'all better grab some chairs

OPEN YA EARS!

Stop throwin' subliminal flares

Sit down n understand da plight of my scriptures

I'm not a ordinary fixture in da balance of things

I spread my wingz n call it like EYE see it

You can agree or disagree

It makes no nevermind to me

Our destinies are pre-written n MY VOICE is an extension of a HIGHER Dimension

Tools?

Wit dis spoken word, I'M DA PRO IN PROLIFIC!

GROW UP PEOPLEZ, STOP CATCHIN' FEELINS' N TRIPPIN'!!!

If you can't stomach what I say, BETTER KEEP YA DISTANCE

By da grace of GOD Shawn is special n gifted

I speak about unfortunate incidents dat deez corrupt bastards solicited

As well as da beautiful n terrible things eye have gone through, experienced, n Witness

Stop misconstruing what eye say n gettin' it twisted

Like eye said,

"You don't like it?!, Pay me no mind it cost you nothin"

Terrific!!!!!!!!!

I'M ARTISTIC

N Eye don't burn bridges eye might have to cross again cause dis isn't a competition

But just know eye go for da gold like Gabby Douglas da gymnast

FLIPPIN'

Ova n On barz like I was apart of thee Olympics

Eye don't follow normal guidlines, linguistics, n other fucked up laws within a district 

I'M A LEADER NOW DAT WAS TAUGHT WELL AS A YOUNG APPRENTICE

Eye hope WE ALL MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO CHANGE n BREAKOUT of our Wordly Flesh in da trenches

Carrying on da torch for DA ONES BEFORE US, CONTINUING TO ELEVATE n MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!

"PAY ME NO MIND" By Ra Shine McKoy aka Shawn Stare

"UNDISPUTED"

Modern day bondage

Alanis Morissette

Isn't it Ironic

Holdin' on to hopes, dreams, n a bunch of nonexistent promises

No balance

Just livin' beyond ya teens is a challenge

Tears disperse from violence

Intended malice

Shots ring out, you hear mothers screams among da crowd silence

Growing Pains

Thicke Like Allen

Unnoticed talent

May languish in anguish for not being properly guided

Proses recited

On deaf ears

Eye stare into thee eyez of dead peers

Government officials send out signals to feed off our fears

Overlappin' our judgement

Controlling da brain waves of da general public

Turning us into zombies beneath da rubbage

Where most find comfort in da pain of others

My ancestors died at thee expense of others

In thee attempts of changin' da future for me, you, n my sistahz n brothaz

Attrocities keep gettin' hidden up in a cupboard

Or locked away in a safe wit da rest of their blood secrets

Demi Moore n Woody Harrelson

Proposals Indecent

Across da region

Only thing eye see increasin' is da long lines at da unemployment, welfare offices, n precincts

It's a full-time job just to find a decent job

N my brothaz want dat

But in excess won't let dey families starve if da establishment don't call back

So dey continue to pitch dope

Sell guns

Pitch crack n sell packs

N deez corrupt muthafukaz act like dey not involved too or at da head of all of dat

My brothaz do it in hopes of finding a better solution to not keep doin' what there doin'

Child support don't care about ya hardships, dey just want you to come up wit dat paper

Dey don't care where it come from

Not even if it's from a robbery caper

Some people pray n look to da Savior for favor

While we look for a way to get da system off of our heels

Da Evilution is not televised on da reel

Only a kiss from a rose on a grave when da casket is sealed

Sometimes eye wish my ability to feel is removed from my frame

My heart is tired

My emotions are drained

Feelin' like all da good I do is in nothin' but vain

At da end of da day, only questions remain

Women only remember da negatives more den da positives

Men retain da blood, sweat, n tears upon da separation when dat door closes behind dem on da way to their next destination

Eye wanted to be a symbol of love n not some  pawn in a evol plotted scheme of moderation

Human society has different distinct opinions when it comes to both in their modifications

A discrepancy in modulations when plans are lost or changed in formulations

Same concept just a different form n type of segregation

Mind n Soul mutilation for eternity

Resolutions are dim in equations wit no affinity

Infinite possibilities when displayin' humility shown through your propensity

Our youth are brainwashed by deez entertainment industries

Images depicted in da verses of my lyrics is descriptive

Described to those dat are incoherent

Eye see through da gimmicks

My music n poetry has no limits

My voice is heard through dis God given gift of spoken word to educate surpressed tongue's

In ghetto's n slums

Da revolution is spun

Put into motion rebellin' against unethical notions

My devotion

Comes from above n within' when eye sit down n ink my views wit dis pen

To many eye am a secluded friend but a stranger to most

My anger floats

Among da surface

Swimmin' in turbulent waters dat borders countless slaughters

ONLY MAGNIFIED BY DA MEDIA WHEN IT'S ONE OF THEIR OWN

But undertone when it's one of my own

Wish eye could get da Lord on da phone n have a conversation

So many things I would wanna ask in between havin' a couple of laughs

What is my purpose?

Why are we dying so fast?

Why does ignorance n racism still exist in people you created in your image?

Why do we still do wrong after repentance?

Why does da flesh want what it wants 
As my spirit fights wit my soul to have a viral cleansin'?

Why are vows met wit unions only to be broken?

Why are spouses never happy or satisfied wit dey opus?

Why are a lot of us addicted to sex n don't practice celibacy?

Why do we turn to infidelity when one is not gettin' da proper respect n love drenched

If

Dey are doing all dey can to submit

Why do women have fits like you called dem a bitch when dey hear dat word submit?

Why can't dey just decipher da real meaning n just submit n stop actin' like a hermaphorodite?

A pussy n a dick!

Granted!

Some men are pussies n dicks!

But most just want peace of mind when dey come home from work

If not

Dey split!

Don't wanna catch another domestic violence charge in dis bitch

Da right thing to do is

Leave

Calm down

Come back after you vent

N knowin' dat, just cause dey wanna get out their say dey try to prevent you from leavin' dis mix

Why are dey lips so slick?

Words ready to cut a nigga if dey way or last word dey don't get

Da scenery may be better from afar til' you jump ova da fence n land in more shit

Help me out!

I'm so confused at times

Half of da time dey expect you to be psychic n read dey mind

Huh?

Last time eye looked God you didn't blessed me wit fake telepathy like cleo

Or Warwick

Dionne

Eye don't think y'all understand da type of shit eye be on

Or maybe y'all don't care n just stubborn

Prideful

Stuck in ya ways

But dis unhealthy livin' will continue if more don't start to look in dat mirror n ease up on dey standards n look at da realistic stage

Itz ok!

You can differ wit me n be ENRAGED!

Datz ya perogative to do so

But J-U-N-O

N YOU KNOW!

I'm speakin' DA TRUTH Yo!

We were put together to grow

Not let go

Work da land den let another man come along n reap da benefits of all eye put up wit n withstand

Or withstood

Datz why eye don't get dis generation or my existing one also

Cats don't stay together 50yrs. no more like my grandparents

Dey just become content or enamored wit da prospect, thought, or concept to have an advantage

Your name n everything you stand for getz slandered like you in front of some camera

If it don't work out

I'm still da same person wit morals dat would love thee regardless of ya faults n doubts

But da same is not reciprocated to a man n datz da problem eye have

Flag on dat play!

EYE KNOW some will turn up dey nose, bat dey eyez, read dis, n say

WHO DA FUCK DO HE THINK HE IS?!!!!

I'M DAT SAME NIGGA DAT THOUGHT LOVE CURES ALL N YOU WERE APART OF MY RIB

But some wanna be DA QUEEN N DA KING!

How can you expect dat to sit well wit DA KING???!!!!

Men get kicked outta dey homes even when dey walk away from da confrontations

Eye just want you to always be there for me like eye would for you

By my side to share in my galaxy like 2 stars in constellation

But in my estimation you wanna be selfish in your decision makin'

Sit down n talk about certain situations but ya mind was made up a year ago about our continuin' engagement

Hurtful Accusations when one don't agree wit another's statements

So whatz da point of a women sittin' down wit a man if ya mind was already made den?

N don't say outta respect cause dat shit is a crutch to support your theoretical propositional mess

You bout to lay on a brotha chest

Not to mention some only wanna fuck a brotha when dey feel like it

But when dat man come to bed n wanna make love or have sex

Now you gotta a headache n shit

You see

Eye see ALL da game since da birth of creation

Kelly Row

Whoa!

Slow up!

Whatz ya motivation?

Cause my thought patterns are parallel to highways adjacent

We don't see eye to eye when we both look in each other's faces

What y'all don't understand or better yet fail to comprehend 

Dat we as men also need to feel like you women

To be needed!

Appreciated!

Not put down or be made to feel unwanted

Eye know both sides very well

But only one side of da coin is phrased well

Eye wouldn't wish a dude or nobody in jail this kind of hell

Dey going through a completely different hell

But we still feel handcuffed sometimes like we in a cell

In instances you think you won but no one prevails

You just left wit da traces of good n bad memories n backfired negotiations

Samuel L n Kevin Spacey couldn't even talk either party down, about, or outta of deez situations

Da evilution is compiled on top of da revolution

Dey need to rewrite da constitution

Most of you think dat we actually deserve dis retribution

To be honest half of marriages n relationships in Amerikkka are probably refuted n should be checked in to institutions

Karma n Death is da only real champion

UNDEFEATED!

UNDISPUTED!
