Asimov - "Foundation and Empire" - two OC's hip hop dialogue

  Kalgan crush

 

“Hey girl, what’s up? You’re so out of reach,

Smiling to yourself on the Kalgan beach!”

 

“Oh girl, you scared me! Welcome to town!

When you approach me try making a sound!”

 

“Girl, never mind, I could blow a horn,

You never hear stuff when your heart is torn.”

 

“Say that again? Don’t know what you mean.

Told you my X is the last boy I’ve seen.”

 

“Seeing is one thing, you’re dreaming awake,

I’ve seen those eyes, also the heartbreak.

I’m not a savior, I’m just your friend

And hate to witness an other sad end.”

 

“Girl, you read me, I’m an open book,

And you are impatient to hear the hook.”

 

“C’mon, spill the beans, don’t make me repeat,

Name, address, number, I’ll know who to beat.”

 

“Oh, all these things, wish I knew myself.

He’s not from this world: alien or elf.

Only saw him once on the Kalgan beach,

Wanted to say hi, but then lost my speech;

Tried to stand up, follow him around,

I fell back on the sand, my legs went numb.”

 

“Lord this is bad, have mercy on her!

Such a good girl, but her mind is a blur.”

 

“Wait, I’m not done, don’t make fun just yet!

You’ll fall just by listening, c’mon, wanna bet?

His eyes, girl, his eyes, never saw such thing!

They hid a dream in a dream in a dream,

They outshined by far the bland Kalgan sun,

It’s my heart they burnt, my soul they won.

He swayed so lightly, when he walked he danced,

Like a jester with a heartbreaker stance.

His hair was dark blonde or light brown or black,

Already forgot, how odd, what the heck?

What hit me most was his slender body,

Looking so frail, acting so naughty!”

 

“Girl, I don’t know, he sounds off to me,

Why do you fall for the first creep you see?

What if he’s a thief, or a drug dealer?”

 

“Naah, chill out, he’s just a heart killer.”

 

“You seem so convinced, I trust your gut,

If you see him again, just ask him out!

And if he does anything to you

I swear to God it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Wait, news alert on my phone, what the hell?

It can’t be, it reads that Kalgan just fell!”

Unadapted and unwilling

 Take a bow

 

They say be nice to everyone

’Cuz each can help when you are down.

I say never lick where you spat,

Always forgive, never forget.

 

They say leave the room with a smile,

Maybe you come back in a while.

I say burn bridges, flames untamable,

Some garbage may even be flammable.

 

Can you restore a human’s dignity?

Leaving may be a sign of victory.

They say you must adapt or die,

I take a bow, ok, goodbye.

Better later than never

 Maybe means never

 

No more fooling around

To make me feel clever,

And painting on walls

Such silly endeavor,

I’ve grown up so much

I’m having a fever,

Shedded so much skin

I’ve started to shiver.

 

No more breaking the law

And saying whatever,

Drowning in regret,

My fault whatsoever,

My memories gone

I’m pulling the lever,

In case you are dense

Maybe means never.

The harsh reality

 We’re sorry

 

1.We’re sorry, you can’t stay here,

You’re over 35,

Good luck, may life be easy

And thank you for your time.

 

2.We’re sorry, you can’t stay here,

Your voice is too humane,

We can’t afford to pay one

Who has a human brain.

 

3.We’re sorry, you can’t stay here,

You lie and cheat too much,

Where is your sense of honesty?

You lack the human touch.

 

4.We’re sorry, what you’re saying?

We never said these things!

You can’t go on and speak up

While knowing what it brings.

What it feels like to be dead inside

 D.E.A.D.

 

Hair spread on my pillow,

I am a dead willow;

 

Ice smeared on my window,

I’m a broken widow;

 

Poison in my veins,

Leaking better days;

 

All behind sealed lips,

Drought between my hips;

 

Mind can only wail,

Won’t escape this jail;

 

Don’t come for my fate,

You’re always too late.

Corporate pigs

 Ladder

 

1.They play with words

Like illegal cigarettes,

Don’t be amazed

At how far it all gets.

 

2.They play with lies

Like fire plays with heat,

From hollow eyes

And voices of deceit.

 

3.They play with lives

Like children play with cubes,

The toys turn out

The most corrosive fumes.

 

4.They play with love

While building a ladder,

Dare take a step,

The tumble-down shatters.

Muse

 Do that again

 

1.I want to paint you

From toe to head,

Close your eyes halfway,

Do that again.

 

2.I’ll catch you inside

The tip of my pen,

Say something clever,

Say it again.

 

3.I feel like singing

Against lawmen,

You do the rap part,

Play it again.

 

4.Don’t act innocent

With me, God damn,

Just come closer and

Do that again.

War pigs

 Melt

 

1.You feel this thing I felt,

Radioactive scent,

C’mon because I’m spent,

Let’s play before we melt.

 

2.What in the world it meant,

Not money, but resent,

And to such great extent,

Let’s play before we melt.

 

3.Be living in a tent,

No worries about rent,

Won’t need another cent,

Come out before we melt.

 

4.Be living with intent,

No time for your consent

In cities of cement,

Let’s play before we melt.

:)

 Kicking water

 

1.Don’t sway at me

If you think I’m there,

You’re missing badly,

Only hitting air.

 

2.Don’t swing at me,

I’m like fire,

Pumping oxygen

Strengthens desire.

 

3.Tread carefully,

You tread on my ground,

Your best bet is

Not making a sound.

 

4.Don’t hit so hard,

Your fists may shatter,

Lay down a bit,

You’re kicking water.

Healing without therapy / Amazing how much BS we tolerate

 In another life

 

1.In another life I would have wanted death,

Now I’m indifferent about my own breath,

It doesn’t sound like much, I call it progress.

 

2.In another life I would have sucked a bone,

Rather than eat well while being on my own,

Now it’s not like that and I think I’ve grown.

 

3.Everyone around me tells me how I’ve changed,

Yes, I’m working out, but it’s mostly my brain,

It is just what happens when you break the chain.

 

4.In another life I wasn’t fond of day,

Everything was black, but now it’s turning grey,

It doesn’t sound like much, trust me, it’s ok.

Hip hop vibes (again)

Double standards

 

1.It’s good to be bad,

Only within a limit,

As long as all the legal prescription drugs

Can heal it.

It’s good to talk back,

But not to your superior,

Else empty headed zombies will remind you

You’re inferior.

 

2.It’s good to kill some,

As long as they are evil,

But before you do make sure they’re sent up by

The devil.

Feels good to insult

One body type, the best yeah!

Or else they’ll beat you up, it will hurt more than

Influenza.

 

3.It’s good to speak truth,

Show you the middle finger

And watch your trembling fists and large dumb eyes oh,

So ginger.

I love to shed light

On all the lies, you get me,

Can’t always get away, after all, you’re not

Kaneki.

Repentance

 Point of view

 

1.Used to think life’s easy,

Like one plus one is two,

If something is false

It means it’s not true,

If something is wrong,

Then edit undo.

 

2.Used to think it’s simple,

Only black and white,

Bidimensional,

Just like day and night,

Available options:

Kiss ass, freeze or fight.

 

3.Why’d it have to happen?

To open my eyes,

What once was beauty

Now it’s only lies,

Where once stars shone brightly

Now nothing but scars.

 

4.It’s so complicates,

A betrayal, too!

When your eyes met mine,

I stayed, others flew,

And finally took in

Others’ point of view.

Wishful singing

 I want to write a song about

 

Cats which never fade away,

Last days prolongued by one day,

 

Minds which never go insane,

Skin so thick it feels no pain,

 

Windows that always shine bright,

Flowers that glow in the night,

 

Travelers who know where to do

Despite the dangerous snow,

 

Children who don’t disappear

In adults who live in fear;

 

This thing will never come true,

Just like I can’t become you.

 

I think I might have a clue:

I do me and you do you.

Hip hop vibes

 Unmendable, unapologetic

 

1.Why are there only wrong people in my life,

Why am I yet nobody’s wife,

Why do I vanish on the brink of success

To leave room just for emptyness?

 

2.I am unable to connect, you see,

And go to work like others go to therapy,

Unable to smoke weed in a basement,

So I use the open space as a replacement.

 

3.You say talk to someone, but are you blind?

How can someone else understand my mind?

Someone else’s books won’t suck out my wallet,

I found the best help in a graphic tablet.

 

4.So act like you can’t see what you can’t mend,

I really don’t mind when people pretend;

So do the most decent thing ever known,

Pretend I’m a weather balloon and go home.
