Lyrics:
Scott-Heron
It strikes a balance
Fantasy and reality
Really
It's the escape
From this world's insanity
Poetry
Who I am is poetry
Who I am is poetry
Who am I
This one's for the outlaws, the quick draws, the real motherfuckin individuals
Brought up in the era where drug use and abuse is nothing but habitual
too, honestly, I have better poems that I've performed at poetry slams that I'm gonna use on the next album
There's this guy Gary from the poetry slams
happin
I'm a stand up guy all laughing
Spit cold like winters in Aspen
Slam poetry I'm snappin
All fire no smoke what's happin
I'm a stand up guy all
cigarettes (SLAM!)
A thousand cigarettes up off the floor
Doin push-ups, all that bullshhhh
Yo I`m tryin to (SLAM!)
I just want to give a shout, to all
"In Your Name” (Russian: Во имя твоё)
As Joseph Brodsky said: "Poetry is not the best words in the best order. It is the highest form of the existence
toward a world rid of color lines
(Music, poetry, dance, unity)
(Music, poetry, dance, unity)
Five, four, three, two, one
the world turns
As it does around the pole star
The whole world and society
And the individual in it
Are like the planets moving
In a great course and society
leaves she
Returns with damaged knees
I'll let her tickle ivories when I
Laid her on piano keys
You'll know it's me when I Poetry Slam MCs
I keep a safe
to find
A safe destination
I see slam poets
On the web
Posting their speech
And I am inspired
By each
And every one of them
I
May not be able
To recite so
the prayers that weave poetry through drum beats
Victory
Step inside the mind of a soon-to-be legendary
Straight paramilitary
Brother Ali exist to read
a mothafucka that's hard
Or a bitch-made cute as El Debarge?
Do you like negros?
Him and those?
Individuals called criminals?
How'd you figure a West Coast nigga
(Mashonda)]
Ain't no particular color for a crazy girl
Usin' her ass to survive in a crazy world
Lacin' ya baby, givin' ya diamonds and the pearls (Ooh)
We're bored
We're all bored now
But does it ever occur to you
That the process that creates
This boredom that we see in
The world now
May very well
sehen, wie man selbst der Böse wird
What I've seen, what I've learned out here
Is just in my heart and it's always gonna be with me
But as a individual, I
a mothafucka that's hard
Or a bitch-made cute as El Debarge?
Do you like negros?
Him and those?
Individuals called criminals?
How'd you figure a West Coast nigga
and I'll make it worth your while
I'm a fire spitter I guess I just got an itchy trigger
got potential to make seven figures
My poetry's deep I never fail
four, encore
I'm not a freshman, sophomore, and further more (Woy)
I graduated from the school of no shorts
to the world of rappin I brought
"That's it,
Entire world bow down get on your knees
Entire world bow down get on your knees
Entire world bow down get on your knees
Bow down, bow down
Entire
climbing
This dark chase don't excite me
This reality's kinda frightening
I swear it shoulda picked a better timing
(Hold up)
In this world, this world I
producin'
Songs for the world's men, women and children
Armed and equipped with much confidence
And this is how we're gonna make our living
Some are known
to bring the world poetry
Hip-hop, musically' expressing what's inside of me
Some find me entertaining. Some find me marketable.
A potential Black
I am a melodramatic
Mentally asthmatic
Hella fantastic, "anti-bombastic"
Poetry addict
Listening to oldies in my attic
Jazzy
Only love
explained you know names is enticing
Word to Katyrah I feel the love that's low key & high key
Whoa
Started to feel like a poetry party
If you weren't invited
