Lyrical Invention

Before I say the things I want to mention I ask you “Please pay attention” And listen When I am hintin’ My cranial membrane’s tension Causes difficulty to spit this lyrical invention Conventions on suspension But pay notice to my retention Of the vocabulary I mention The incomprehensive comprehensions Of this poetic technician Makes many realize exactly what their lives are missin’ So listen!!! Some envision This as a competition But their competitive attitudes are responsible for this world’s division My writtens Have the impact of a multi-car collision Many would agree that my rhymes are sizzlin’ But their meanings are hidden Access to my rhymes are forbidden Hate and you’ll be forgiven I spit poetic darts with absolute precision And it won’t be long until I am on HBO television Spittin’ But I first must make decisions To maintain lyrical nutrition Because I still feel imprisoned And wounded by incisions But I shouldn’t worry if it’s the truth that I am living Know that He has risen Stop grinding and start grinnin’ We need constant repetitions Because I am scared of what I envision My bars make prisons That all starts condensin’ Dripping and rinsin’ Me of my afflictions and pensions Not to mention my malicious jurisdictions My words paint depictions Of how lyrical vixens Go back to the days that crackers were lynchin’ Niggas on trees because they had dreams of going to Princeton And since then We have grown up and dissed them Those who died in the struggle ya’ll know I miss them Now that I am finished my invention I hoped that you listened To this lesson that was hintin’ That past struggles resurrect We just got to pay attention.
