history lesson on music
I am not a poet
I don't do poetry
But I can sing it
I may not recite the word write on the paper
But I can make my song to it surely.
I may not the the lead vocalist
Or the first seat in my section but
I can become forte when I want to be
I choose to be piano
I rather listen
You may remember when
Nicki Minja said, "there's no friends in the game"
Or when
Linkin Park told you he's "tired of being what you want be to be"
When
Beyoncé said you could be either "sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare"
That "Pretty Hurts"
But she didn't fail to tell you "ya flawless"
Now I bet you don't know when
Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz sang about her tragic love,
Still calling her rejection "tall and tan and young and handsome"
Or when Frank Sinatra sang about his feelings
Telling you he's "got chu under his skin"
What about when Ella Fitzgerald's, supreme queen of jazz
Sang about her passion and love
"That music I hear, I get misty the moment you're near"
I may not be the better poet
I may not be lead
I may not be first chair
But I know where I wanna be
And that's all I really need
