Poem
Don't bother to warm up the church microphone Because you already know the rhymes that I 'am about to spit is hot you can see the steam come off the microphone every time I perform Swisher house is a legacy that was left behind I 'am not going to throw away the family dream over religion just so my family can be penny less and broke I choose to keep the family business and stay alive I 'am living in a mens world I choose to survive I 'am letting you know in person how I feel Mr. Preacher Man and all your religious followers I choose that path to survive so tattoo righteous life can leave a man broke in the middle of your forehead don't forget that am acting like a dog and grab the bone and guard what's mine later on I be like a cat and take those nine lives back that the devil try to steal away from me all my life I choose to live not die I 'am eating suckers for dinner not wasting no time I 'am taking what my old man left behind in order for the family to survive That old man did not raise no brainless punk or fool I 'am taking the Swisher house, the business that's mine Tell the preach and the righteous people God didn't leave no book of names of who or how to survive in a men's world So I 'am taking the business the Swisher House and living my life rather you think its not good for my life or individual's health By Shaniki Smith Date; October 21, 2016
