The Voice

The Timeless debate Between hard work and fate Has been in my hands as of late. I pondered my take On if the artist creates His harvest from hate Or if they clean their plate from the Darkest memories their life has made. this argument haunts me late at night because I tend to relate to both sides of the coin I see the essence of myself in each picture on one side I am who they hate. on the other my darkest days pushed me further so I can’t pick one to rise above the other I was made to walk a fine line my brother and through all my days I never meant to throw shade or degrade the work of my peers. I’ve made a habit shattering expectations these past couple years but as for how I view my words and dedication I view myself as the voice of a nation that forgot how to speak when brought to the feet of a giant. I view myself as David taking on the tyrants. Because The people don’t need a yes man they need defiance they need someone hot enough to withstand the climate.

Hard Work to keep

From the balcony I can see it now, it’s concrete. I never had an excuse to shift in my seat because despite the fact I look down on you now, you still look up to me. that tells me your eager to grow up into what we’re gonna be, Just like me we’re two of a kind, we like to speak from our hearts so pay our words no mind because impulsively we might flee but we will never throw away our destiny’s key. together we complete the recipe, and oh it’s bitter sweet how Happily ever afters hard work to keep.

Silence and Irony.

By: Bay Wright

Wait, are we just gonna sit In silence

While they burn our land?

While they burn our names?

They’re snatching food out of our hands

While shoveling shame

Into the conscience of every man

Who doesn’t look the same

As their brothers or their friends,

They’re segregating unicorns

Just to get the upper hand.

What’s happened to society?

I don’t understand.

You say you know the truth

Because of your people’s past

But they aren’t you

And I didn’t ask

For the opinion of a stranger.

Follow the North Star

Back to your parked car.

I don’t need any wise men

In my manger.

Your ancestors wore shackles

And still had enough hope to dream.

Don’t let your attitude tackle

You from discovering

Who you are meant to be.

Greatness has always been hovering

Around you and me.

It’s been barely out of grasp,

too far away to see.

Nobody cares about yesterday

It’s sad but true, one day you’ll see.

Bring up the past enough

And it will haunt all that you do.

Stop clinging on to excuses

And cut the noose

Before you kill your self

Trying to light a bomb

Without a fuse.

Clean slate

By: Bay Wright

I numb myself to freeze the pain, But it stays Tormenting me inside my brain. I can taste, The way you looked the other way on that day, I took a shot at a love that ran away.

Now the sunshine is cold like freezing rainAnd my eyes are stained by the beauty of her face. Looking back I wouldn’t take it any other way, I’d rather see her go than love me for a day.

What else can I say, I’m a lover who falls for leavers, the seasons may change but my heart stays blue. I always fall way to fast for girls like you.

Girls that look like Carolina hills on a spring day, girls that stain my mind like Georgia clay, Girls that coast through life like California waves, have always been the quickest to push me away.

You would think by now I would’ve learned but I haven’t changed. To me hiding how I feel is like swallowing pain. Rejection fucking hurts but atleast I can say, I put my love on a scale for her to weigh.

I’d rather swallow rejection than regret never confessing, my affection toward a girl who changed my hearts direction. I know Beauty is in perception and I’m slowly learning lessons, About how our imperfections can be blessings everyday.

So what you lose some, who cares if they don’t feel the same way, one day I’m going to find a girl that was worth the wait. I’m going to find me a lover to clean my slate.

Land of the free

By: Bay Wright

Marxist people have Marxist intentions

Don’t let them persuade you any other way.

Protests aren’t peaceful behind flames,

Without order chaos reigns.

You can’t sensor one side of the table

Just because you think a different way.

Breaking laws to enforce justice

Pushes justice farther away.

Think for yourself, it’s important today

To have fresh voices speaking over

Old poisons. The definition of insanity

Is never learning from your bad choices.

Problems are out there for those who look

I’m not saying there not.

I’m just saying we don’t have to set fire

To everything that we have

because we have a lot.

Listen, Bad apples fall under every tree.

Life’s not perfect, so don’t make it out to be.

Finding yourself helps, take it from me

Im still discovering who I am and how I fit

Into this society. Lying to yourself

Just means that you will lie to me.

Please don’t slander who I am

Just because our eyes never meet.

I’ve never been one to damn a man

For what he believes.

Character is all that really matters to me.

Unless you cling to radical beliefs.

I don’t know about you but I happen

to like this life that I see.

America’s always catered to the masses

Not to the few who think differently.

To be honest that’s the definition of a democracy.

We don’t all want the world to burn

So speak up before it becomes our reality.

If you don’t like something be the change,

Do it right, good things happen gradually.

You can’t build a house in one night,

It takes time to change a society.

So let’s change tonight starting with you

and me. Let’s be proud to live

in the land of the free,

Let’s take charge of our lives and morph

Them into how we’d like them to be.

Let’s keep America the home of the brave

And the land of the free.

Beautiful Affliction

By: Bay Wright

A fact turned fiction

Due to inabilities to listen

Blew the pistons

Of our love’s precision

Different visions

Caged our hearts

In separate prisons

Constant contradiction

Killed my beautiful affliction.

Keep In Mind

By: Bay Wright

Active fists aren’t activists

common sense sheds light to this.

Who we’ll become after this

Depends on how we mend the fence.

Let’s not talk in past tense about problems

When the future presents

A light to guide us away from the darkness

We are dwelling in.

Don’t ride the fence,

Speak your mind,

The truth will come out give it time.

Who we’ll become after this

Depends on our state of mind.

My life’s not yours

Your life’s not mine.

What your parents did

Is not your crime.

Who my people were

Does not define

The man I am

Keep that in mind.

Mary Goes ‘Round

By:Bay Wright

She may be from the country

But she belongs to the streets.

She’s a detective under covers

Of every guy she meets.

Don’t fall for her my brother

You will only last a week.

She’s a one and done kind of lover

Who doesn’t belong on a leash.

So you might as well set her free.

Because it’s hard to be sweet

To a girl who only wants you

Like a dog does a treat.

She’s a silver tongued reak

Who lies through her teeth

Just ignore her when she speaks.

She’s a Ferris wheel

Goin around and around

And around and around.

Bringing people up

Just to take them down.

She’s a virus

Passed around and around

And around and around.

Every boy with a pick up

In this damned ole town.

Can’t you see

Mary goes ‘round.

Believe me

Mary goes ‘round.

Goodbye Ring

By: Bay Wright

It was a July sunset

Under a northwest Georgia sky.

The setting was perfect

The ceiling was high.

I knew everything about her

Aside from how she said goodbye

When my knee hit the pasture

I saw the ending in her eye.

She said you’re too sweet boy

Far too sweet for me.

You deserve an angel

Not a rotten apple from a tree.

I didn’t understand her angle

Or why she was spilling

Her Secrets to me.

Until I realized

she read My intentions

And she didn’t want

to commit to a boy like me

Will you marry me?

Are Four words I never asked.

All I got from that day

Was a broken heart

And pants stained by grass.

Was happily ever after

Too much to ask?

Now she hits the town

And I fill my flask.

I should have read the signs

I thought we felt the same.

She had goodbye on her eyes

When I tried to change her name.

L(only) One

By: Bay Wright

The mirror reflects a lonely one.

The mirror reflects the only one.

The heart holds all the damage done.

The mind runs from the setting sun

As A father looks down upon his son

Regret fills his house from damage done.

An angels mouth with a serpents tongue

Spits sin out like a loaded gun.

He wonders if he’s the only one.

The mirror reflects a lonely one.

Life to him is a setting sun.

With the heat on his back he’s on the run.

Wearing the blame, the prodigal son.

The trigger pulling boy known for fun.

But who supplied the bullets for the gun?

The father passed his sins to his only son.

The father watches the fire leave his eyes

As clouds fill the sky, angels cry.

He wouldn’t feel shame for any other guy.

the boy sits alone asking who am I.

The father screams down you are mine.

Thunder shakes the ground

As Lightning strikes.

Evils all around, it’s about to storm

All the boy can do now is hold on tight.

The mirror reflects a lonely one.

The mirror reflects the only one.

The heart holds all the damage done.

The mind runs from the setting sun

This is all for you father!

The boy shouts from his room.

All for you father!

For this you can’t excuse.

A sinful tune father!

Is what I play for you

To listen too father.

Have I payed my dues?

It only takes One man to hold a gun

But everyone can see the damage done.

Love Tonight

By: Bay Wright

The way you look tonight

Is almost more than I can handle.

Im fiending like a vandal

To embrace your loving eyes.

I know people like to fight,

But not us we don’t bite.

You’re like a lantern in the night

The way you turn dark to light.

So just be who you are

And I’ll be who I am.

We can cruise down

the boulevard

In my fathers beat up

old trans am.

Just like Bonnie and Clyde

Tonight Let’s take a ride.

The world may turn to smoke

From the fire in our eyes.

But that will be alright

As long as we find

love tonight.

Every tattoo, every scar.

Made us who we are.

Every minute, every mile

Brought tears and smiles.

People ask what it’s like

To have a love see past tomorrow.

I say it’s like a rainbow in the night

Too bright for the dark to swallow.

Sin Eater

By: Bay Wright

You’re the doubt that’s killing me

Cut me open, watch me bleed.

Be the problem I don’t need

Tear me down, plant the seed.

Fill my hands full of greed

Kill my passion, steal my deeds.

Wash my brain til I believe

The sins you’ve raised Belong to me.

I hope it will make you feel better.

You can’t deal with your emotions

That’s why we’re not together.

Because Im not your sin eater,

I don’t have burlap skin.

I’m not You’re sin eater

I know you’re drinking again

And if you’ve had one shot

You’ve had too many.

I can’t watch over you

Like the heavens sent me.

I’m not your sin eater

Do you understand me?

[baywrites]

Kiss me (if you’re with me..)

By: Bay Wright

Let’s not ruin a good thing

Oh no,

Let’s just make it better.

It’s time to tell the world

What we do when we’re together.

I’ll admit at first

keeping secrets made it better

But even you know

We can’t guard our hearts forever.

.

So kiss me if you’re with me

Let me go if it’s a no.

I can’t take it slow forever

While my heart aches for more.

I don’t want to be your low key

Like under the mat beside the door

I want to be your only

I want to be your something more.

I don’t mean to put you on the spot

But every shooter knows their shot

And when I look down my sights

You’re the only woman I’ve got

That makes my head spin.

My heartbeat race,

They say love is a marathon

And I think I’ve found my pace.

So Don’t tell me that these feelings

Are completely one sided.

You have to let love in

And stay open minded

So tell me what’s prying

On your heart strings,

Tell me what you’ve decided.

I deserve to know the truth

Even if it hurts i won’t mind it.

So kiss me if you’re with me

Let me go if it’s a no.

I can’t take it slow forever

While my heart is aching for more.

I don’t want to be your low key

Like under the mat beside the door

I want to be your only

I want to be your something more.
