"W.e / It Is To Dream"

"W.e / It Is To Dream"

by Arcassin Burnham

And you say you have your life together , But you were poor.

Whatever it is you've been through , I have been through it before.

The dream doesn't make the person , the person makes the dream,

Whatever it is you've been through , I've already seen.

I've crashed through so many doors,
Shame was coming from my poors,
Doing all these Payless chores,
I've been through it before,

I've been through it before,
I've been through it before,
I've been through it before,
But it's whatever.

/

Flowing through another human being's emotions like essential oils,
You could  possibly choose the fate that they set, or
Live like society's pet,
Or you could become the vet,
Or you could run up a check,
Getting the hell out of Dodge,
Facing problems always to an extent to be labeled​ savage in a world
Don't Even give you the care you asked for, but,
What dose it take to get respect?
See all we do is recollect,
Most of us are too blind to see in this dark country where the enemy
Is camouflaged.

"Beauty Described Pt.2"

"Beauty Described Pt.2"

By Arcassin Burnham

From emotional spectrums,

feelings are hellish,

i see the eyes , they shine , like everything was fine and dandy

in the gymnasium,

thinking there were some things i could have said,

there were some,

I could teach ya,

Remember when you had a crush on the teacher,

with the green eyes that passed by your desk for

attendance,

the hate filled jealousy that consumed my body,

that didn't mean on-going sessions of persistence,
i figured since we didn't talk,
i could introduce myself,
we can be study partners,
you don't ride the bus, you walk,
and I.
Am digging your personality so way over my head,
like what is reality, so gone,
why was everything so wrong?
your smile faded into clouds , whatever we had was strong,
i thought that in the moment of falling in love with
someone i connect with would never ever do me wrong,
you were on the verge of looking for attention,
i was on the verge of an annihilation,
instead of fighting bullies i was always in your corner
talking to you,
it was love , but i was feeling patient, 

From emotional spectrums,

feelings are hellish,

i see the eyes , they shine , like everything was fine and dandy

in the gymnasium,

thinking there were some things i could have said,

there were some.

"Bye #2"

"Bye #2"

By Arcassin Burnham

..And when I'm gone turn me out like a night light,

then wait for dawn,

not talking about death but what you picked up on,

like another built wall so wide as the border thats crossing

the road , due forget it all,

when you try so hard only to end up in a fall,

you kept me from so much , i will not be stalled,

in a country where literally anything could happen , please

stay off the alcohol,

Theres no purpose for unpurposed matters if everything happens for

a reason,

so much trouble up in every ghetto , if you left , it'll be necessary

treason,

Almost uneducated with no family support,

A mom that'll rather see me killed than be on child support,

mooching off the fabric of my reality , blood sport,

You could had an abortion now what is this for?

Would you be sad if i left?

would you even cared if i died?

would you hate yourself if I just turned around and walked out that door

and never say goodbye?

turning a blind eye to the bullshit you think stresses you,

putting that on yourself including my existence, i will be better than you.

goodbye.

"Too Late To Get Her Back"

"Too Late To Get Her Back"
By Arcassin Burnham


The moon looks nice and the stars gleam bright
just as young as the night,
like the angels that appear in front of a fight,
for the wrong things in this cruel world that we spite,
rush the wind off a bike,
when a boy loves a girl he gives his all,
Every man in the world don't have bad tendencies,
Like a stand-up or a missed call,
and now the girl you had thinks you cheated while you stand tall,
head high,
love the person you are so you laugh and say bye,
tears fall down as she runs then she sighs,
if you think you were asshole then,
you trying be compassionate is a nice damn try,
now why'd you let her go? all she did was argue with her mother
in a broken home with an abusive step-dad in a ghetto neighborhood
where taxes break everybody down, nothing ever happens but shootings
up in the south zone,
did you dismiss all the bruises that her step-dad was giving her?
how about the time when her mother drove her to school
and did coke in the parking lot like it was okay for her,
Everybody knows your a cheater,
so what you got to hide besides the gonorrhea that you transmit to
every girl you had sex with,
Boy I'm glad she didn't catch it,
thinking , that if she did you were gonna catch an ass whooping.

INDIE Pt. C

By Arcassin Burnham

"Thanks For Happiness"

Soon enough,

When the wind blows soon,

In all its Glory and all it's Faith.

Apocalypse,

When it happens,

Where do we go?

Yeah pretty soon,

The'll be men coming to,

Take you out of town.

A light ahead awaits and waits for no man just to be found.

Waits for no man,

When love is around,

That's why we cheat and we lose our crowns,

Keep your guard up in this savage town,

There's gonna be a whole lot of people fallen down.

Prayers are to the people out on the street,

With at least no minimum wage and ain't got nowhere to sleep,

Not Judging by the action but the company you keep,

Judging on how harsh it is , you'll be lucky to speak.

I feel for joy , Happiness , redemption , relief , clarity , empathy , spirituality,

In the lords arms.

"When It's Time"

*Don't you say that Love's the only thing you're looking for*,

*Trying to claim you know me, when I don't have your number anymore*,

*Don't you say you know my name when you forgot me awhile back*,

*Confusing my brain don't try to throw me off track*,

*Sort of like an outcast where you and your friends didn't wanna be*,

*Bullied by the same old kids in school*,*they couldn't handle me*,

When it was time,

I got tired of the old shit and made it new every time,

Use to make Love to a chick that never claimed that she was mine,

Bad days in past,

And future past days will fade away,

I'll live my life how I want , til it's time to pass away.

*Don't you smile in my face and say it's byegones*,
*Symbolically so inclined to turn trust to stone*,
*I feel so bad for the normal​ kids that stay the quiet ones*,
*Cyber attacking on social media thinking it's fun*,
*You play with someone's life*,*that's on your hands*,
*Nothing you can do*,
*You should have already grown up into a man and paid your dues*,
*I don't know how long I've made it in this condition now*,
*I should have done right in life and would have lived it down*,

When it was time,

I got tired of the old shit and made it new every time,

Use to make Love to a chick that never claimed that she was mine,

Bad days in past,

And future past days will fade away,

I'll live my life how I want , til it's time to pass away.

"Thing (No More Friends)"


Heaven knows,
My struggles and my agonies.
Heaven knows,
My struggles and my agonies.

Loneliness and focusness provokes thought,
Sweat on your face for the friends that you sought,
Don't spend the rest of your life in a box,
Looking for love in the wrong places need to stop,
It's so easy to fit in with people like you,
Ain't a time for wishing and hoping a virtue,
Boyfriend's and girlfriends that'll​ straight hurt you,
It'll be a second when your world ends turning you so cruel,

I just say just don't hang with people that peerpressure and leaves you out
High and dry,
If trust is trust and fake is fake , they must be synthetic to what they think is
Your demise,
If it's not one thing then it's definitely another but the first thing's a lil' more
Dangerous,
There is so much fake in the world they might just sacrifice your body and
Just come up famous,

So who needs friends?
Might be the Devil in the disguise,
Might be an under cover cop,
Turn on you in the blink of an eye.

"Eye Catchers"


Dropping like seagulls in the sea,
people are dying everywhere help us please,
suspicions about the world since seventeen,
I never had a dad around , can't control me.

while all the girls,
while all the girls,
don't see reason.
while all the boys,
while all the boys,
don't like being told what to do.
*And all the eye catchers* , *they walk around without being noticed*.
*you better take someone's hand in desperate need and say what you* *have spoken*,
*And all the eye catchers*,* pretend like the world revolves around* *them*.
*Theres always something in this world that is worth living for but you* *gotta live for them*.

Spare me the ignorance if you please,
i never conquered a problem just with ease,
interest in words stem from the giving tree,
I'm not a violent person just don't judge me.

while all the girls,
all the girls,
don't see reason.
while all the boys,
while all the boys,
don't like being told what to do.
*And all the eye catchers* , *they walk around without being noticed*.
*you better take someone's hand in desperate need and say what you* *have spoken*,
*And all the eye catchers*,* pretend like the world revolves around* *them*.
*Theres always something in this world that is worth living for but you* *gotta live for them*.

"It Was Over"

"It Was Over"

by Arcassin Burnham

Too young for the devil's nectar, don't worry I hate it anyway,

selfish pain overwhelms me plenty

to get that chance to stay,

inside the dark corridors of 

my mind i can't obtain,

to find a different love,

gone for hours as a way to hide my shame,

it was all over once you got to me,

and it was all over from the start,

it was all over once my life got crushed,

is it too late to fix my heart,

i found a way to get to my destination,

writing my life in an illustration,

it was all over,

i'm saying it was over.

"It was okay for awhile".

"Figured Out"

 
"Figured Out"

By Arcassin Burnham

I hope the men don't run off and try to see the fear in others,

Hope the women don't gossip like they don't have a care for others,

I hope the kids in school don't have agendas just to pick on others,

This world literally crazy,protect your sisters and brothers,

Putting your damn videos on Worldstar just to see someone bloodier,

Do we really wanna be seen in the history books as histories most violent

Country?

Now come on guys everybody and their mama knows that this country is

Built off money,
a socially awkward economy,

that tells you to obey their policies,
the justice system , are you blind to see,
they kill for no reason , we run out of peace,
as a black man you can't on your two feet,
without getting cascaded with bullets,
whatever hope we get or had in the past just know they're the ones
that took it.

"Mister Mr."

By Arcassin Burnham

Mister Mr. Spare me the cheap talk and all

Of the schemes, 

I'm not amused by your dilemma of sneaking 

Behind scenes, 

I'm just waiting for all of these nightmares to

Turn into dreams,

The problems will occur wherever you are by

All means,

I'm glad to be a teacher,

I hate to be learning, 

While gravity is holding us down, 

Inside we're burning, 

So I lock myself in a freezer to prevent being grilled,

Didn't ask to hear about your gossip,

Please save me the grief.

I'm glad to be a teacher,

Mister Mr. 

"Mister Mr. i'm talking about is actually satan, And he Won't get the best of me and if your careful , then you could block him too".

Can't Be Silenced (Surprise EP) (Explicit)

Can't Be Silenced Ep
By Arcassin Burnham

01. Casual Sunday (FT. Wendy Ronshausen)

**AB**: Searching for a part I never thought i'd find in myself

carrying guilt in many ways from a cry of self help,

A tally every time for all the times , those simple times,

where it could've been easy,

life is a common cold and I've been sneezy.

in a world of pure uncertainty,

they sodomize your energy,

brainwash your thoughts through a big flat t.v screen,

we work for things we've earned,

if you're not stupid , you'll learn,

that everybody has a purpose,

don't let evils scratch the surface,

they like to show up where your worth is,

It's just a casual Sunday,

*the love we find*.
*is the love we hide for ourselves*.
*The love we find*.
*they want to see how it felt*.


**WR**: If humans were a floriculture
Some might call me a weed
Poetry, my way of
Spreading forth my seed
Just like a weed, in a perfect line
I do not grow, you will find me
On a venture clustered down 
The untaken trail
To spread the seeds I sow
I sprout sporadically 
Throughout the year
My motivational bloom in life
Is to conquer all fear
Constant growth is my goal
Endurance of the tragedies of Life
To enrich the blooming of my soul
Purpose to bloom above all strife
IT'S JUST A CASUAL SUNDAY.

**AB** : *the love we find*.
*is the love we hide for ourselves*.
*The love we find*.
*they want to see how it felt*.

02. Rest Of Our Days (FT. SoulSurvivor & Richard Lee Anderson)

**SS** : Bars on windows ,Bars on doors 
Metal ceilings ,Beveled floors 
Come in folks! 
There's lots of room!
It don't matter it's a tomb...
A prison cell of bone & hide
You won't know Til you're inside...

Here I am, I'm in the lobby 
Locked within a broken body
Makes me want to scream & shout...
I'm just dying to get out!
There's the rub... just want to cry!
To get OUT I have to DIE.
There's just one way To be free.

But I don't want to die, you see.
I guess I'll stay & just be ME.
**AB** : To posses more ,empathy,
Weeping over dead bodies like the anniversary of
9/11, God bless each and every person in this world to
live long and prosper, this is hostile,
waiting on Jesus to descend to us and preach the gospel,
there's not enough empowerment to help the weak,
And there's not enough food here to feed the homeless,
Not even enough  friends around your child to see her smile
and you always treat her like nothing so she thought her
life was worthless,
looked into the barrel of the gun And, **POW!**,
Didn't even say her last words , not even a letter,
you should have spoke to her,
could have been a better nurturer.
**RLA** : Living In  the Projects. ...

I learnt my name.... I learnt my fame...
Living in the Projects....

Learnt how to skillfully write my name in lights.... All over the place. ...
I was living in my own mind when it happened....

You.... 
Happened to Me... 
From where you came, I had No idea....

I was lifted up, above my feet...

Don't leave me hanging ......
Around for too long.....

03. Not A Cloud In The Sky

Didn't have any loyal people since day one,

but i was loyal to me,

tell me how can a black man leave behind his son?

somebody tell me,

after all the bullshit I've ever been through,

nobody ever aided me,

The quote on quote friends that use to have my back,

never talked me,

so what hell you want?

No don't try to talk to me now,

talking all out the side of your neck man i bet you feel proud,

there ain't no savior that could save you from the hate i afflict,

you hate me but there are bigger things , like massacres and corrupt establishments,

Ain't no time to be having fits,

Ain't no time to be taking trips,

Ain't no time to be wondering when your insecure mouth will

take a bloody spit,
the man in the clouds never speak,
And most of the time the clouds are poisoned,
I guess that must be the reason,
The devil's feces in the airwaves ain't no time for breathing.

04. Living For The Moment (FT. Alex Gabriel)

**AB** : Mother earth , look what they did to you,
You were beautiful back in your day of being pampered
In those seven days.
Dick heads that act like jerks that don't have nothing to do,
You were clean once in this universe and they uncleaned you
With their harmful plays.
In this country and this cold world lingering and going through
Situations,
Like a regular human being with funds and accusations,
Life's a pretty blonde bitch with Daddy issues,
I guess that's where father time comes in , deaths happen,
Get some tissues,
I've had a lot and I've lost a lot where heaven and hell will forget you not,
Better choose the right slot,
Cause the women out here getting plastic surgery,
And the men , some enlargement pills,
Why don't you just be happy with yourself and let time heal?


**AG** : Now that I know what I know,
I had to let go for the sake of my soul,

I was turning into a person I didn't even know,
I had to tell my heart it's alright to be cold,

Nobody gives a fuck,
That's the truth,
This is your road,
You didn't have a choice but you gotta learn to grow,

You only live one life,
Better focus on your goals,
The clock is ticking and there ain't nothing you can hold,
That you won't lose in the end,
You gotta keep control,
So I'm here with my pen letting the ink explode,

Exposing myself to everyone that I know,
This shit is 100,
I keep it real for the foes.

05. Room Smile

Hi I'm Arcassin And I was wondering how a black male
in america made it this far,
Dear Zeus Please tell me what I've done wrong,
And there ain't mountain high enough for journey's to start,
there's not enough room in this soul to smile.
I know what I've done and I'm not proud.

New mission.
with honorable mentions.
keeping one love.
no substitutions.
I know my role man.
to be a citizen.
but I'm so woke man.
the truth will hide in sin , sin.
 we can't pretend like nothing's going on,
you wanna waste away , you wanna live your life,
I swear material things mean more to you than the
people that have your back in this life,
so calm down man.
you fought long enough.
I hope you understand.
It's just as simple as trust.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.

Hi I'm Arcassin And I was wondering how a black male
in america made it this far,
Dear Zeus Please tell me what I've done wrong,
And there ain't mountain high enough for journey's to start,
there's not enough room in this soul to smile.
I know what I've done and I'm not proud.

Don't need luck.
changes is a must.
screw your issues.
Not in the mood to fuss.
we all have weaknesses.
and we're all not so strong.
we all gotta fight.
to capsulize the wrong, wrong.
we can't pretend like nothing's going on,
you wanna waste away , you wanna live your life,
I swear material things mean more to you than the
people that have your back in this life,
I can't control.
whatever it is you do.
the guilt we try to hold.
will only bury you. 
Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

06. Early Sketches (FT. Traveler)


**T** ; What is the secret?
both old and wise,
what keeps the darkness and soul in line?
what sets a day dream free falling in flight?
Is it not the will to stand and fight?
**AB** : Can't stay away for an evil,
of a country that stripped all your rights,
Are we all lost without sight?
And lost the freedom and will to shine?
Did you wonder it would be alright?
**T** ; Targeted , tagged and tethered,
stereo typically tarred and feathered,
come up for air,
try to weather,
A world where the second class is fucked forever,
**AB** : This wicked realm we stay forever,
Every January To December,
If you don't come out swinging on situations,
you'll grow weaker.

07. Electric Feels (FT. Wendy Ronshausen & MyDystopiA)

**MD** : Look to the blue of the sky, 

let go and fly, follow the signs 

to find the light inside.

You have the world at your feet. 

It costs nothing to be free.

It's in the small things, 

we find the greatest hope.

**AB** : In God's glory I bathe and the wicked earth just

keeps scorching,

 **WR** : I Get lost having too much fun and not true joy

with partying friends,

**AB** : You give yourself to the wrong crowd and it'll

all end,

**WR** : Popularity , ain't "all that", some may say it

leads to sin,

**AB** : Answering what everyone ask in a world filled

with dying women and children.

08. Bullshit (Interlude)

This is that all of a sudden my grandpa got diabetes
bullshit,
That Chemo can fight all types of cancers type of 
bullshit,
I love you but i think i need space for some time
bullshit,
I want my virginity taken like everybody in my class
bullshit,
I'm gonna  complain and complain to anger my husband even more
bullshit,
she told me I had to be big down there to please her good
bullshit,
At the end of the day you think I'm your friend, on some back stabbing
bullshit,
I don't know why people listen to television
bullshit,
this that eat everything in the fridge and leave everybody nothing
bullshit,
What are you gonna do shit,
the world ain't what it seems and just you blind bullshit,
I rather raise money to move to another country and get a passport
bullshit.



09. Normal Loss (FT. Alex Gabriel & Yogita Sevak)

**YS** : Overcome in the minds storm I stand empty handed
Like with the Scarlet letter I had been branded
Alone no one would assume.. I am a-lone in a crowd
But how do I shut out the sound in my head that's loud
Raw emotions yell and scream
All of it isn't as simple as it seems  
Lost relationships leave a bitter taste behind
Answers from myself I must somehow find
I sit by the beach and breathe in the ocean
Letting go of all the life's commotion
As I walk I feel the sand between my toes
I close my eyes and listen to what my heart knows
I listened to my heart no matter what I've done
I realize gazing at the tides of my mind - I'm fine I've won.

**AG** : Time is of the essence,
I thank God for all my blessings,
Wake up in the morning and smile,
Who am I to ask any questions?
I'm alive and existing in this world today,
Grateful for the sun on my face,
Air in my lungs and my heart's particular pace,
Every moment is precious.

**AB** : Hate emotions I'm not good for them.
somebody had to tell me God just gave up on me today,
smelly fruit incense in the distance of a life I thought
I had and all my family just hasn't listened away,
tired of making sacrifices for people that don't need
them,
you don't see them and how sneaky they are when gain
your trust,
paranoia courses through the blue parts of my
veins causing nothing but a little trust issues,
can't even trust these people on this poem dude,
my soul screams in tears,
and everyday my fears,
they manifests itself,
they do it every year,
I don't have God's help,
At least i think i don't because it's so confusing,
don't wanna spend rest of my life burning,

**AG** : Time is of the essence,
I thank God for all my blessings,
Wake up in the morning and smile,
Who am I to ask any questions?
I'm alive and existing in this world today,
Grateful for the sun on my face,
Air in my lungs and my heart's particular pace,
Every moment is precious.


10. More Love (FT. Crazy Diamond Kristy)

**CDK** : Your Love Bridges the hole in my heart,
The one left vacuous by abandonment.
Connecting synapses long since forgot,
Filling spaces with passion , not sought.
**AB** : Healing cartilage of my inner thoughts,
Are the things that bind while working as one.
If you feel great depression in your soul,
I'll be there to be the armor of the absolute one.

I had dreams of creating another human with you,
in a silence that i can't hide anymore.

There was no doubt in my mind that my emotions
would eventually get the best of me,
just to see it walk out the door.

**CDK** : Your Love Bridges the hole in my heart,
The one left vacuous by abandonment.
Connecting synapses long since forgot,
Filling spaces with passion , not sought.
**AB** : Healing cartilage of my inner thoughts,
Are the things that bind while working as one.
If you feel great depression in your soul,

I'll be there to be the armor of the absolute one.



11. What The Mist Is Like

Beauty in the mist,
lights are sparkling,
And on earth your little dreams come crashing down like
project apartments,
while they let us lay in fear,
they make money off black inmates,
then the public sees that shit and think
that's all we're good for is crime and hate,
what did the president say?
say hes gonna make america great?
Man you ain't dong a good job,
Are you even trying anyway?
thats another display of hate?
bet you people regret it,
and there no resets,
gonna have to take it in and embed it,
we might be heading for a  fake world war,
don't hear it cause I said just research it,

Guess that's why I wanna float on to another world,
I honestly think that they make God to have these strict
rules when in reality he really wants all of you up there,
aka high chair,
aka ladder,
aka stairwells express,
aka the life after.


12. Priority # One

Use to think about sitting with you down at the bridge,
use to dream about the times where we would kiss and
every breath I took I fell in love with you over and over,
like a sad roller coaster getting ready to fall off the rails.

Trying to forget the past like every human being,
but every human being don't wanna forget,
like That friend that stole all your friends,
that same friend that sat there and told you friends to the end,
what did he do? didn't Recognize you again,
Now lets get something straight,
Didn't your mom ever tell you to worry about you and no one else,
not even your spouse,
This world is so bat-shit insane that everything is corrupt now,
so much bad order in this country they expect you to bow down,
yeah your trust,
is a no no,
licensed gun,
make it so so,
No lives matter obviously,
I don't know,
where to go go,
scared of death,
not scared to face it,
looking for a way out of the matrix,
I could care less about the systems wealth,
save your self.
