My empire is nothing but ashes
After you boldly lit a match,
And watched me erupt in flames.
I won’t plant seeds of compromise
Until you return what you took
In your moonlit robbery at midnight.
I’m not evil, but they transform
My image into one that’s devilish.
You must sift through endless lies
To find what you’re looking for,
And a reasonable definition of truth.
I’ve been gone since my youth
On a mental vacation without limits.
Give me one reason to return.
What does coming back offer?
Michael Jordan shocked the world
With two words to the media.
I’ll never accomplish the same feat.
Will I get a golden watch,
Statues with shiny plaques,
Or something they can see
To remember my name?
I want you to need me
Like a nympho needs sex,
An English teacher needs text,
Or greedy people need checks.
I’m spreading like cheese heroine,
Except I won’t kill your children;
I’ll inspire and motivate them.
It’s about time somebody did.
