I Like Rhyming

At times I've filled in a 200 page pad in a day
Yet I still had more to say
I've always liked rhyming I just find it fun
My mind is always thinking so there isn't a time when my rhymes are done

Even when I'm writing simple rhymes
You'd lose your mind by some of the things my pencil finds
I like being lyrical so sometimes I'm Bending words
I won't always rhyme with the ending word

You couldn't keep count of the pieces of paper that my pen gets through
I make a beautiful story out of the ugliness that men step through 
Sometimes I like to switch it up and use rhymes that are multi syllable 
I've still not yet gone fully lyrical 

I grew up listening to the thoughts of Nas and the rhymes of Rakim 
So you can't compete with the lines I'm jotting 
Blasting Wu Tang and Big Pun to sound out the screams and sadness
Constantly trying to come up with new ideas, rhyme schemes and patterns 

Loving Hip-Hop got me to start writing double rhymes
I picked up a pen and rhyming saved my troubled mind
I've always liked rhyming I just find it fun 
Time to start my next poem so my rhymes aren't done
