I wrote this a few months ago, but I just decided to post it for no particular reason other than to just post something. I hope you enjoy it.

"I Used To Be Important"

I used to be important, never thought I'd be a flash in the pan
But I don't get paid for thinking, so here is where I stand
Abandoned, alone...no longer worthy of a special ringtone
This was something that I'd thought I have and now that some thing's gone
My mind's blown

This newfound existence is so bland
Especially considering I had the spice of life right here in my hands
And although I can not say that I truly understand
I do try to respect the move, as part of being a man
They say without a struggle, there will be no progress
Yeah, I guess
Alls I know is that my thought process is a mess

So, yeah it's a struggle..between my desire and common sense
She hit me with that fire and I ain't been common since
I used to atop of everything, on top of the list
Nowadays, I have to wonder if I even exist
It's the pits...
Sometimes I wanna holler and throw up both my hands in a fit
But that ain't gon' change a thang so I pour up and I sit

Then I sip
On something straight with a proof no lower than ninety
I'm off in another world, where not a soul can find me
To consequently remind me, of how I haven't been treated kindly
Perhaps I need to keep moving forward and put those memories behind me

Maybe not two-day, but one day you will see
That the most important thing on your docket should have been me.
