Arts is a necessity
the air we breathe
i said Arts is a necessity
the air we need to breathe
please feel free
when i am no longer a being
in this thing we pronounce L I F E
enclosed in my coffin... 
splash some vibrant colors on my coffin
graffiti it up dance around my coffin
tribe to tribe
sing tunes of r&b, rock, jazz, metal, punk
and don't forget the blues on my coffin 
spit some rhythm and rhymes, rhymes and rhythm
and beats of hip hop on my coffin
drumsticks and bass
wake up my soul the blood in my veins 
hang a dali portrait on my coffin 
8x10 of james dean
leave musical notes  piano keys 
pressed by alicia keys on my coffin
from the splish splash of vibrant colors  grafitti 
singin and dancin hip-hop-in 
instruments chimin 
art hangin actors blinkin...
i don't need to be a being 
in this thing we pronounce L I F E
i breathe in
the necessity of The Arts 
which keeps my heart beatin
enclosed in my coffin
