Silver age hip hop,
and driving at night;
up in the clubs,
with my boy by my side.
Urban at heart,
feeling subpar in my mind;
when that elixir took over,
I had the best time.
My rose and my thorn,
and the shape of forever
until time takes its stance,
and the imagery shatters.
But now I won't cry,
I'll only say thanks
for the ride of my life,
and this graced second chance.
