Jeremy Smith Poet Verse

So Sad

Growing up just outside the CHI
I would spy
Always wondering what lied inside
Waiting for my turn to slide
Then I got the call homie Bob had died
While chasing a sack inside
No time to say goodbye
I cant lie I cried while I was high
Putting on my tie to see him lie
Smoked till I was fried my tears finally dried
Now I'm back on stride
On my way to find where they hide
So they can all die that's my way to say bye

First time in the CHI what a sin
Getting redemption for my kin with a grin
I knew I would win
Then everything started to spin
As the bullets sprayed against the tin
Hoping I killed the twin
Now I'm always sipping gin with an unlocked pin
And the lights dim feeling sad for him

As I wake not knowing my fate there's a sudden quake
Am I to late what a mistake
Just need to focus on whats at stake
And not flake like the rest of these fakes
Do it for my families sake
No time to wait cant hesitate
Don't want to be late
Need to escape the state of hate
That's sealing my fate
Wishing I would have kept a clean slate

White Wolf July 3, 2017 at 3:51 AM What John said is true! It would have done much better if the format went with the rhyme

John Hamilton March 16, 2017 at 9:13 AM Sounds like a fine rap Jeremy, can imagine Jay Z rappin this out! Better to format this more like a rhyme then it is easier to read, would place higher that way. Nice placement!
