Letter To My Inspiration

This is a letter to my inspiration and the people who inspired me to write There's a lot of writers who I have a desire to be like While Adding my own style from what their words taught me I always looked up to rappers because I didn't have my parents support me I fell in love with rhyming at a young age Heard Eminem when I was 8, and began to see how many rhymes I could fit on one page Writing about my flaws, helped me become stronger & move past my dumb ways I was sitting in the children's homes hoping my family would call But they didn't so it was just me, my pad, pen and posters on my wall I love Bone Thugs and Wu tang Hip-Hop kept me up to date with the new slang That's part of the reason I talk this way Parents weren't around but Run DMC taught me to walk this way I'll fight the power even if I become the public enemy I hold my pen close, me and the pad have amazing chemistry Put my heart in every line there's isn't a space filler Trying to be like Ghostface Killah Inspired by many but intimidated by none A true writer knows their pen is more powerful than a gun I feel like I'm writing from Tupac's dropped pen Using the same ink that was used by Rakim Grew up hoping to be like Biggie, Tupac, Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas Common, Ice Cube, Big Pun, Big L, I want to rhyme like the gods If you don't consider those guys as gods your opinion is Invalid to me Every sentence you speak will be a Ballad to me because I'll feel sorry for everything you say Can you look beyond the words see the picture on display? Wanted to write like KRS-One, Mobb deep, MC Eiht, big Daddy Kane Idolising all these rappers and writers because my daddy never came Will I be considered fake because I idolize rappers and not poets Will anyone understand why I wrote this? It wasn't until recently I understood why J.Cole wrote Let Nas down If you compare me to anyone I've mentioned I'll never have the crown I wonder if any of my idols would like any of the lines my pen is creating This is a letter to my inspiration
