Cloth

I rip the cloth off 
Rip the clothes 
I am stripped 
Down to who knows
Who knows me 
Without  digging deep 
Who hears my voice 
When I speak 
Do I whisper 
Do I soar
Do I come for more 
I am tired 
Feeling uninspired 
I try to do 
Everything  required 
Then I stop 
And I listen 
To my inner intuition 
It says 
Chetta make it better 
You are so clever 
Keep your head up 
Get yourself together 
You are worth  it 
Get the courage 
Do your thing 
Don't get discouraged 
Don't cry
You are what lies 
Lies in between greatness 
Your gifted is an understatement 
Replacing you ain't no replacement 
I see your inner 
You are a winner 
Just the beginning 
Get ready for you are winning 
Then I hear this other voice 
Says 
You will do what you are here to do 
I will see out your vision 
Help you through  difficult  decisions 
Revisions , revise 
I see the look in your eyes 
The passion. , the interaction 
The editing the drafting 
I'm like a boat I'm rafting 
Like a drawing I'm crafting 
Like a Picasso 
I'm not false tho 
I can give it to you 
It's going cost tho 
Not money 
But time 
I am an unfinished rhyme 
One of a kind 
Yes 
I'm human in the flesh 
Still perfecting 
Not neglecting  myself 
Helping  myself 
To climb ladders 
And trying to  lay out the platter 
Trying to  chatter 
Chit chat 
Trying to run it back 
I did 
Rewind, fast forward 
Jump aboard 
Rip it 
The clothing 
Strip it back down 
I am going to be phenomenal  this go round 
And with my greatness  I will not bother 
I was created by the greatest  creator my father
