Biggy Smallz

BIGGY SMALLZ Born broke as bonkers yet he'll still bluff. Big dreams are what big minds are made of. Dead broke and couldn't picture this! In Queens, a little boy's journey from genesis: 'It was all a dream, and here it begins. He used to read WordUp magazine, Salt n Pepper and Heavy D up in the limousine, Hanging pictures on the wall, Every Saturday rap attack Mr Magic Molly Mall.' Never thought hiphop would take this far. Yet, hopes one day he'd become a star. Then, honey play him toss like butter played toast From the Mississippi down to the East Coast, Sold out seats to hear Biggy Smallz spit,' Fame & money would then take him on a treat, Spreading love from Brooklyn to all 'em street. The side hustle and artistry were the plus, Young Notorious B.I.G used to make a big fuss Then grew up to his money making a big noise. But the more money the more problems, This wasn't the kind of life he sees, The gunshots & gangshots wouldn't cease Until in '97, he himself after himself's decease. Then his fame & legendary witness an increase Just like the Young Aaliyah taking rest in peace, So is that beauty which she hold in lease. Brooklyn still thinks it was all a dream, The city knows Biggy weigh more than a team. Queens for a mo' thought his light has gone dim, All to wake up into the reality of life's pulse, Which is, there's no more Aaliyah & Biggy Smallz. Certainly, the genre till today still mourns.³² VICK MANUEL POETRY {VMP} Copyright ©? November 2023.
