James Lewis Poet Rhyme

Revenge of the Cunning Linguist

Folks think I'm a 
nice guy, to a fault I 
guess I am, if those 
folks only knew 
deep down I'm tellin 
them to scram,

I'm tryin to keep my 
language clean like 
crispy Franklin 
notes, I am The 
Cunning Linguist 
spittin nifty 
antidotes,

that cross you up 
the Hardaway and 
leave ya ankles 
broke, hot feces 
exits out my mouth, 
I got a stanky throat,

that exhales dragon 
fire but believe this 
aint a roast, there's 
too much jumpin off 
and I'm afraid it aint 
a joke.

Like women 
nowadays, I often 
wonder if it's me, 
that sees how 
some are free to 
divvy up the wizard 
sleeve,

then they don't 
know just how they 
came to get the 
HIVV disease, deny 
and keep it sweet 
to give it up to Pete 
and Steve.

I get up on my 
soapbox when I 
have to drop a 
jewel, the niceness 
gets mistaken like I 
still won't drop a 
fool,

for comin outta 
pocket, I aint talkin 
poppin tools, I let 
go of the knowledge 
cause this dude 
can drop it smooth.

I'm Harry Belafonte 
but don't call me 
Mr. Tibbs, this 
poetry just flows in 
me and what a gift 
it is,

you may not think 
my skill's correct 
but I insist it is, I'm 
so unlike the 
others, verbis not 
ipissimis.

Confused on what 
that means? Well I 
advise you look it 
up, vernacular's like 
stir-fry in a wok; I 
cook it up,

and dish out 
healthy servings, I 
won't let your brain 
cells starve, in 
executing verbal 
warfare, yes I am 
well armed.

My aim will blow ya 
head off like Bin 
Laden, picture that, 
the YouTube vids 
and image will 
confirm this vicious 
fact,

don't need Marines 
and choppers flying 
into distant lands, 
I'll do you like Waist 
Deep but they won't 
find the missing 
hand. 

My adjectives are 
ravenous but that's 
just certain ones, 
my scarface 
resonates of how I 
kill these words for 
fun,

to crush the 
competition and I 
do it big like Pun, 
then ride off in a 
Matrix, Cunning 
Linguist, I'm The 
One.
