This is a poem inspired by a friend who was on a 24 hr stint to meet his deadline. He was loaded up on caffeine Red Bulls and cigarettes. This is for him.
when push comes to shove
and the clock keeps on tickin like an A bomb in my brain
gotta beat it to the punch before she starts kickin
got these aspirations I gotta meet
gotta live fast and think on the fly
can’t stop to reminisce, so wipe the ahhhs from your eyes
got no leisure time to waste
got adrenaline in a can
Got a smoke hanging from my face
Makin it happen as fast as I can
Hopped up on caffeine
sick from the nicotine
the last 48 hours
are like a reoccurring dream
my telescope eyes turn tunnelvision
fixed on a deranged kaleidoscope collision
smoking caffeine
drinking nicotine
I have an aim to please
And Im pleased to attain
a hole in one at the end of this game
it’s the countdown to a deadline
gotta keep my head afloat, gotta aim extra high
we’re countin down to the end of the line
5,4,3,2,1 live fast and die tryin
