Blaze of Glory

written by: OurSacredHonor

I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than have my light fade out and no one tell my story
I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than fade away today....

People say I'm crazy and I'm on the brink
But I don't care much about what people think
I don't let what they say take control of me
Cuz I know if I did there'd be a big hole in me
And I couldn't ever deal with being hollow
It's too much to take, too much to swallow
I need meaning, I need substance
Don't feed me lies or I'll feed you justice

I'll make you pay
For your deceiving ways
Today
No time to wait
But you had time hate
And degrade
Degenerate
So allow me to critique the critic
Cuz I know the way I spit it
It's acidic
Makes you livid
And your hate grows and grows
As my rhyme flows
Through your neural pathways
Translucent over airwaves
You brain saves
This sporadic
attack
Of data
No matter
Your jealousy
What you think of me
Out of envy
Green like seaweed
Or the source of your greed
It impedes
On progression
Causes succession
And depression
Repression
Of expression
So this lesson
That I teach
Will reach
Farther than you could have ever imagined
Happening
As I tap into the aurora of energy
Surrounding me
I'll transform
This violent storm
Of anger and rage
Into a fluent page
Of a lyrical tirade
Like a parade
Of words
You've never heard
This way
Until today
And you can't help but start to say
That you feel like me
And you start to see
The truth behind these thoughts
That I've taught
To you
Brought to you
Through and through
I stay true
Because this is what I feel
This is what's real

I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than have my light fade out and no one tell my story
I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than fade away today....

Just for one time
I'd like you to try
To erase
The face
Of the one
Your about to shun
And judge
Stop holding that grudge
For no reason
It's not open season
On human beings
So stop judging what you're seeing
And hunting with stereotypes
How would you like
It if I took your life
Under the knife
And a microscope
Could you cope
With the reality
Of what I'd see
That's unlikely
If you ask me
Because If I were to dissect
You like an insect
And discover what it is that infects
Your mind
And causes you to find
The tiniest little flaws for exploitation
And your categorization
Of these people who don't know
It would show
That ignorance
And lack of tolerance
For things different from you
Cause you to
Do what you do
Would you be able to see this if someone opened your eyes
Or would you just despise
him more because he tries
To make it clear
That it's your fear
That causes you to adhere
To your methods of mutilation
And degradation
Of anything you see in front of you
Dismembering people who
You have no business to
Even be staring at the way you do
Eyes like a hawk
As they gawk and stare
stalk and glare
So go ahead stare at me
Glaringly
Look into my eyes, tell me what you see
Can you see this burning desire?
You're fueling my fire
With gasoline
Kerosene
Watch them gleam
Better not get to close
Without a fire hose
I'm bound to blow today
So say what you may
But judge me not lest you'll fade away

I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than have my light fade out and no one tell my story
I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than fade away today....
