Legasus
I'm not a rapper I'm a poet
if you read the collection you should know it
I put my life story in these poems
even when i'm dead and gone
my tale will live on in this form
now I apologize to the sophisticated saps
that can't read my slang adjusted way of speaking
but from the beginning
these ebonics were never meant for eloquent reading
but anyway
moving on
to the chapter I got goin on
this is the logic I have constantly spouted
something with constant dispute about it
but I don't care if anyone doubts it
I'll always shout it loudly
smiling proudly
and it start the day everybody rues
kid payne's birthday
After my daddy contributed
my momma distributed
she divided
now I'm alive
a new child
gods odd equation
and im product of it
I put my seed in the dirt
but I call that making sweet love to mother earth
best relationship I ever had
before I was put to work
other girls
many times
beautiful butterflies telling me lies
as they kicked me to the curb
that's ok
everytime
I just say
“when you finish being a pest
I'm finna do my best
yes
let me know when it's my turn
cuz this is gonna burn
but I don't care if it hurts
for what its worth
its time for you to learn
life is a race
and I will always finish first
I'm burning the candles from both ends
till im dead
just cuz I can that's a bet
I made my bed
and imma lie in it"
that's why I said it was an odd equation
cuz I'm a product of it
even after I've left you'll remember me
cuz imma leave a legacy
I'll be a legend
you'll see
you'll all see.
[ten years later]
the paparazzis bold
they call me
be blowing up my phone
they won't leave me alone
they actions I don't condone
they so close I can smell the cheap cologne
and desperation loan after loan
Boys Trying to make it on they own
these men are full grown
wondering about their lives
and what went wrong
see I figure they might as well get me while they can
cuz in a minute imma be gone
yea imma be on the move
and my speed game strong
police show me love like they know me
I mean what the fuuu(wtf)…
but I guess shouldn't complain
they only do it because they know they have nothing to gain
if they did i'd be hanged
it's just that plain
they stay in they lane
where they got full range
to put everyone they see beneath them to shame
but to chase after me
is completely and utterly insane
They end up in the dust
super out of breath
wheezing
(g-g-g-)gah dang
this ain't they street
this is the main
so imma let my awesomeness bang
like its the new thang
and when I say bang
I don't mean like in a gang
all that 90’s trapping
And playin games
men did
banding together
tryin they hardest to get each other laid
emptily passing the days
that wastrel mindset is lame
they get little money and claim they getting paid
I was honestly half hoping it was all a phase
but trying to apply logic to their hopeless wandering
is a waste of my time here
this nation has problems and my presence is not gonna solve them
so imma just stick to my knowledge
I just gotta take that pill and swallow it
not matter how low the viscosity
this age has been wrecked after stepping out they lane
and I would say its the society that's to blame
cuz I can see it through every window pane
yea makes my blood curdle like hunger pangs
but one day it hit me like a train
the mental of every person on earth would have to change
in order for peace to last even a day
and everyone's waiting on that special occasion
to finally be able to say let freedom reign
but this nation has trapped
each individual in his and her own intellects
corrupted hippocampuses trashed
and painted over like canvases
guess what
they call that art
forget the ark of the covenant
they listen to their peers
like they love eachother or something
But in that love there is nothing
but the one love that matters is drowned out by shouts of others
telling them to try and climb the theoretical ladder of success
only to find the top is just them doing their best
but how busy do you have to be to figure out
that there’s no way in hell you can call yourself blessed
When you never got the message
excuse me if I trespassed
I grew up a lil different
they call me ill
not knowing the lines and barriers I shouldn't tread past
but when comes to the test of life
know I passed
and I did it with class
flying colors
i'm a grad with tassels hanging on my neck
like the rainbow made my plans
and I only deem it that way
cuz everyday
I say
yes I can
that's why people look at me and say that's a man
thanks DAD
anything y'all don't like
oops my bad
but i'm not sorry and i'm not sad
so put your negative commentary in the trash
and get glad
“Can he even say that?”
y'all asked
Free country
So I said
Yes I can!!!
