BEAST

There’s a beast in me, it’s lurking

It don’t make any sense

He comes out when I least expect it

He’s watching through the fence

The beast brings out this side of me

that likes to cause offence

I tried to beat him out of me

but the beast is too intense

There’s a beast in me, he’s lurking

His beat is so immense

Tried hard to make amens with him

but cannot recompense

There’s a beast in me, it’s lurking

I like he don’t make sense

When I think I’ve put his beats to bed,

nah, the beast is present tense.
