Layers

Layers

We are all looking for something 

You have to pay close attention

Look beyond what the natural eyes can see

And currently I lay my eyes on a fortress

Fort Knox locks from her mind heart & box

Yes. I said box. 

Treasures of all types aren't rewarded without a fight

And to rather intervene and claw my way into her jeans

I simply sit down at the war table to discuss her dreams

Her ambition makes me listen

Love it when a plan comes together

Get her a Faceman, B.A. & Murdock.

Got herself an A-Team

Pity the fool who pass up on her

But yet it was your past that turned on her

She was never the reason but they always called treason

Downsides of treating to false kings I guess

But I digress

After running so many miles

Going through these trials

And errors

Skin got thicker but the cut still runs deep

So as the layers build

The wall gets higher the climb

Potholes and forks in the road to lengthen the ride

Quicksand right in front of the finish line

Just to teach you how to sink...or swim

If she had to go through obstacles 

Just to find fake gems as her prizes

Why cant I jump over the fire

Just to remove all of her disguises?

Behind all the vines, thorns sticking out

Lies a golden rose

Place it on a mantle and let it shine forever

She's different and I can see that

Before they try to put out her light

Let me keep up the fire to her flame

Melting all the layers she hides behind

I'd rather see that queen flaunt her royalty
