Spoken warriors, with rhythm words as their sound swords/ A poetry slam where words and body language put the audience in a sweaty heap/ the spectrum of a creative sound off between spoken word poetry rappers and new time jazz hipsters has the club bustin' to the rafters/ expressive improvised creative pace and volume on the spot word dance/ man, like a spontaneous mind flow composition of rap talkin' men and women cookin' up a stream of a consciousness groove/ yeah/ like I feel mile high now/ iconic on-stage impulses of slant rhyme life spoken word poetry/ back-n-forth they go/ words in high gear/ pedal to the metal/ on race, racial slurs, sex, who's doin' who, drive Bys, and TV shows/ like words driving' at a hundred MPH/ becoming telephone poles wizin' by/ high voltage sparks fly when spoken word funk meets uptown nu jazz poetry/ African American poets along with Native American spoken word artists come together to duel it out in a Poetry slam/ it helps to feel the natural flow of high energy words in this performance poetry slam jam/ No reading from pages, just memory’s embrace/ save the date bro It's live with no rewind/ this slam is somethin' else man/ you be reelin' in the feelin' when this Poetry jam becomes a fusion of rhythm word speak on struggles, courage, dreams, love, hip hop rap, and using voice beat drum licks in between word spit speak/ a landscape of uninhibited words with body drum chest thumps/ yo, do you see and feel what i'm sayin' the dynamic instrument of a voice workin the mic to the crowd with MCs shouting back at ya while you be poppin your performance skills on stage/ the interplay between the mind and free spirit WTF thoughts be burnin the house down/ who's gonna wear the slam crown? they be back flipping' and word trippin' these slam poets/ trying to outdo each other in a face off/ word lyricism with scat rap concepts/ diggin' deep into emceeing the joint/ keepin' the flow and staying on the beat
