I listed my body of work on a page and centered it
It resembled the Tree of Life
So I dismembered it
Dissected every word that I read in it
Body
Arm
Arm
Leg
Leg
Head
And it took a walk
Through my mental
Subliminal instruments
Just by the beat of my heart
Stimulated
Blitz of whispers
Cuts from sharp tongue
Sentences full of blisters
Hit up stages with open mics
Marauding for listeners
In Air-Max Nikes
Gotta put on my track shoes
‘Cause I plan to
Run through
Your thoughts all night
My style?
Synonymous with strobe lights
Superfluous sometimes
Often extreme
But that’s when my shit
Switches speeds
And transforms from strobes
To high-beams
Nah mean?
Your wordsmith
Maintenance Man
Doctor Cool Breeze
HAKIM
Constantly changing
Always rearranging
Boldly go
Where others have gone before
Still engaging
Vidid
Shit
I only talk it
If
I
Lived it
Real?
Some Say
Other’s
According to how they feel
Some say
Most of my shit
Is inadmissible in court
But
I got that on appeal
Man of flesh
Mind made of steel
Can leap over ignorance
In a single bound
What’s that sound?
Told y’all
That’s how my heart pounds
Skin so brown
Chocolate Freaks
Take up the front seats
Just to peep
How my nature leaks
I’d provide the flow
In a still creek
My exhale of words
Moves winds across seas
More thoughts
Than a rain forest
Got tree leaves
Folks be like he’s
Full of himself
But the truth
Is
I am truly
Full off you
Often extreme
But that’s when my shit
Switches speeds
And transforms from strobes
To high-beams
Nah mean?
