THUG

He descended for a fleeting moment to taste fame and some strife
Although short, he did his work by living the THUG life

But don't be misled by THUG 'cause it speaks of an acronym
The Highest Under God; he understood the assignment and that it came from him

June 1 6 7 1 was the day
A poet erudite entered this realm with much to say

With the Sun in Gemini 
Mercurial attributes flying high

Was he good? Was he bad? 
Was he happy? Was he sad? 

Many debate this and many debate that
A polarizing figure for sure and that's a fact

So much passion and fire spewed from his soul
He burned down the status quo so his truth could be told

Not fearful and not particularly a stranger to drama
Despite So Many Tears,  he never had to question the love from Dear Mama
