You and I meet at the open mic Think you got some dope lines Find you on the side Say I like the way you write rhymes You reply thank you Before asking if I rhyme too Nod my head yes Although my time at open mics is new You promise me I'll kill it Sitting front row with the best view Panicking internally Externally I play it cool I gotta rise to the occasion like the rent is due And spit my verse with passion that the crowd ain't never heard before Never scraping surfaces Let's take it to the ocean floor The look inside your eyes is proof you feel the same way Been a while since I met a writer on the same page My song ends The audience claps and snaps Black out while rapping Your reaction helps fill the gaps Return to my seat We speak in between performers You say I rhyme like Prince Be meets Haruki Murakami Before I thank you I make sure to drop an RIP And even though we're only 23 I still check for a ring Cause falling for you isn't part of the plan But not everyday I meet a PM dawn fan Let the thought pass Simply enjoy the chatter. Every dope woman isn't my happily ever after Tonight's farewell performance Celebrating your move to Portland in the morning Reminds me of lot of Lauryn Sorry I mean Ms. Hill Type of artist turning down a major label deal Cause when it's said and done you'd rather keep your music real Or drop a classic debut album and then disappear The day you walk away from rhyming is my biggest fear And despite you leaving Michigan we keep in touch You help me think it through whenever rhymes refuse to come Every now and then you say you're penning tracks again I get caught up in excitement, texting all my friends I pretend you really mean it when I know it's cap Cause once your son is born you really don't have time for rap Story highlights of your kid growing up You fall deep in motherhood And we fall out of touch In your absence I write songs again every day Haunted by ghosts of the dope ass albums you would've made Until two years later Receive an email with a demo tape Seven songs long But the bonus track makes it eight Unknown Sender Subject sorry for the wait Let it play through It's the greatest album never made Butter smooth flows Genre shifting production Boldly stepping forward while other rappers reluctant Wish you would've dropped it But I'll always trust your judgement If this is just your process I won't rush it And even if it never hits streaming I still love it
