They only seeing the short haul we uhauling the lames, while they busy trying to come up with Mr. Me2s playing female mind games they so fake they masturbatin to the fame, See them one on one they keep on reciting what we say, we push through faster than Diesel fighting through the veins, keep you lower than the eyes after in makes it to your brain, we collide like the euphoria that takes over everything, then smash out in a all black SUV tinted to death, leave you hating they still wowing got them catching they breath...

The Ghostwriter: I'm sorry this is an addiction like a psychics prediction, a porn star's add-d*c-in, a scientist physicist, a comedians silliness, crushing on a hoe who want to settle down feelings, attacking Indians on pilgrims, C4 to city buildings, thinking I can take over the lease if I kick out all the tenants, never paying the government if the account is saying pending, dress like an asshole if everyone is wearing what's trending, the heat that's causing metal to keep bending, life stories where society is feeling I'm offending, freedom of speech is where I'm defending, then sending your attention where it's surrendering, how dare you say I need censoring, you don’t even back up your own words far as me remembering...



Welcome 2 My World By:MsSweetz & The Ghostwriter The Ghostwriter: Where people point the finger. Back stabbers, will murder you with a Banger. Will talk like they know you, treat you like a stranger. Hand shake you with a smile and let your emotions linger. Who I'm sexing, married too or where I am. Sorry what you want me to do, kick the can? I have been called everything in the book, you ungrateful actors. This world is filled with liars and rumors, its temporary like contractors. Gave life and took it, added up my bucks like a bookie. Put crumbs together made sure you had a whole Cookie. Down payments on a Honda accords& four doors. You must have got bored so I cut off our umbilical cord, now were no more. Senseless apes, that's good but I'm great. Nurture on your fruit juice, I'm trying to make wine out of grapes. Turn life into HD from VHS tapes. Foolish goons and selfish amateurs. Take your notes and pull out your cameras. This is the world as we know it, I’m just a biologist. Reality is a monster and I'm the mad scientist. MsSweetz: Welcome to my world, a conclusion to a under the cloud type rain, decision that i am facing, i already made the answer seem like they piercing and my heart seems like it full of gratitude, that's been changed over the years to desolate grounds no reasons for the eyes to drop the diamonds of emotions when that kind of pain won't let me live when the reason i give just don't add up and i rather just overfill my cup with happiness and reasons for laughter, deeper than grounds of solid marble higher than the oxygen that GOD partakes in wanting to be able to face him and say every gift you bestowed on me i used to the best of my ability, wasn't always for the positive gain sometimes my gift to the world came with the devils flame but yet I'm not ashamed based on the wrong does my good outweigh and since everyone on earth judges us will Gods judgment be the same, Eyes that never looked through God been standing here alone no one carrier me faith in something non visible and time to change conceivable but at times feel like that accomplishment i just can't make changing to me mostly seems fake my world to you is upside down but its because I’m never standing on the ground Terra Firma but up much higher lost and in hopes to never be found...


™VERSATILE By: Ladiiee Lyrical & The Ghostwriter The Ghostwriter: Majestic, thoughts that are arrested, society of the sexes, making love for breakfast, rip out the pages from the stories of Texas, random order assassinate everyone on the checklist, Dam shes fine, Yeah, my 2015 Lexus, her body is reckless, and these thoughts are restless... Ladiiee Lyrical: Beauty and the beast, well known in these streets..bonnie and clyde got nothing on you & me..living 50 shades of grey, while i bite on these sheets...leave you lost in deja vu when you entering me...making love reckless done signed'em off on the checklist hit it and quit it and your thoughts still restless... The Ghostwriter: We go tic for tat but its over when I apply my tongue to your back, pulling out the goodies from back pack, sexuality, the mode is on attack, picking up your heart from where many have lacked, and I'm coming threw with your needs and wants in a 18 wheeler mac, matter fact, hop on, ride my soul for the rest of your life, yeah its gamble but I'll blow and roll the dice... Ladiiee Lyrical: High off this green..sex game is mean..he call me a freak because I done cut a scene...go ahead and roll the dice, I'll ride it twice, that’s on eternity i want you for life,tonight,just the night I been thinking all day how to get you right, sweat dripping, on that Gin tripping, rubbing your head while your tongue dipping in that wet wet it got you sipping...scratchin your back, gripping your body with my thighs, drunk on love and on your body so high...reaching that moment you look in my face and ask me how eternity taste..

™NEW BEGINNINGS By: MsSweetz & The Ghostwriter THE GHOSTWRITER: Straight to the point my enemies can die slow, all on fb looking to hate as they down scroll, yeah my own girls call me an A whole, so its no more kiss my ass, its suck on my egg roll, not into jewelry but a fetish with rose gold, I’m trying to find a good woman, tired lusting these doo doo's, i memorize my past when i capture it in photos, unselfish, I’m going to publish the whole team, I’m just a money train trying to pull along our dreams... Ms.Sweetz: on one page i rip it like jay-z at his height of his career, no rapper but my words stay unwrapped like I have no fear, ill get in front of God and tell him I’m here, if i don’t make it up there with the Goody Goodies, i ain’t scared, id look at hell, and tell the Devil I’m running shit from now on, you might as go ahead and pray bc Sweetz about to be on...



™DON'T PLAY The Ghostwriter & Ms.Sweetz Ms.Sweetz: My whole team will murder you poetically you wishing poetic justice, but this isn't no Janet Jackson flick when we make them spread thin like mustard, i send them to the deli then have them wrapped like sandwiches, ingest them and throw up articulate language with the best of them..

THE GHOSTWRITER: Eating other poets, I’m the Chef... Lyrical word play, expressin my gust, like a squirrel with a attitude I’m dropping my nuts, I’m gone start directing replies and cause disrespectful cuts, Screw you selfish bastards, you're a human walking mutt, come look in my cup I gotta drink of ass whippin, or it can get street and we can shoot shots like Scottie Pippen, walk with me but I'll let you guide you, you never know it might be your enemy with the same dreams as you...

™UNCOMMITTED By: TH€ GHاTWRÏT€R Couldn't handle the distance, then we got distant,loyalty and protocols got screwed up and missing, love machine blew its pistons, made me think of life changes and becoming a full blown Christian, weight of the world was to heavy to be lifting, farther away from me you started drifting, hearts started ripping, you moved on but I wasn't tripping, no longer from the same glass we were sipping, remember when we made it official at the door in the kitchen, man just thinking about the times we had, losing your fiancee makes the love story sing a song of the blues on sad....






IN THE MIRROR By: The Ghostwriter & Demonic Angel a.k.a Babiluv DEMONIC ANGEL: I stare in the mirror and see a complete stranger/unrecognizable hate and anger/seething threw my veins, am i in danger?/cutting myself with the edge of a hanger/soulless spirits live in this vessel of mine/whispering sinister thoughts into my mind/innocence gone like the lost of a girl's virginity/i feel the evil within this vicinity/lost souls like strippers who dance in sin city/i don’t ask for ur sympathy or pity/permanent scars remind me of my mental struggle/still trying to rise above the rubble/i’m on my own in this bubble/not even the sweetest soul can save me from this trouble THE GHOSTWRITER: The man in the mirror with a background that's a darkside,a throw away with no miles parked outside, horns and fangs with actions that are strange, cold-hearted so long it turn into ice sickles that hang, the voices just alarm and ring, reality grabs you by the ankles and clang, mean while I'm holding it all in and not saying a thing, ready for the controversy or wherever my decisions may bring, seeing your own reflection, sanity is your protection, bifocal your future threw pupils, trying to settle mutual from brutal, in the fast lane from neutral, this person is a spitting image of me, such a beautiful day but I'm feeling ugly.. .

™POUNDER Demonic Angel a.k.a Babiluv I sit on this bench watching the leaves fall down I watch as kids play with an upside down frown I see the squirrels quarrying over a walnut I look over and see a thug rolling a blunt I hear the viejos playing bones, yelling capicu The sounds of an old woman sneezing, ahh choo Looking at the sky as the many birds fly by Wait, is that a kitten cry? I watch as the mom comes by to see why Thought in my mind silent Never knew my brain could be quiet I relax and don't try to fight it Enjoying this moment with nature A moment without being in danger A second without thinking about failure Inhaling what I now know as peace Allowing my inner me to be release...



™UNRAVELED By:MsSweetz Maybe I am wasting my time, underline of souls bent in a way of unconsciousness..With frustrations at our fingertips, Love submerged into a deep sea of passionate reasoning, without hesitating for the being of why… considering life with one another or on deeper lines, could bring more days of sun filled rays upon us, but the arguments leave us now improving, building but not intertwining our growth together, time to hold one another but the love just is not showing, How do you escape past transgressions? The look in your eyes tell me that no matter how much I try that my efforts of passionate love and trust will never be recognized, and even though wasting time is all that it seems I’m doing I’m trying to make a relationship that is sturdy enough that even the big bad wolf himself could not tear down I am slowly feeling you out with feeling that I have previously already given out to someone with the same promises you have made same smile and same games… yet you still accuse me of not wanting what I want, not showing compassion when all I can put up in this exterior It’s not a front, interior lovely and the smile mask the pain eyes tell it all but I keep them covered with darker designer frames my sacred heart to blame, my relentless thoughts of the worlds perception of the perfect man, mixed with the rewinds of time lost on others, Mind crying like actions have to speak louder than words Heart saying its not important what is heard but what is felt, the goosebumps that provide the perception of lovers that’s dealt...
