What Is It

It's like a scene from a flick
Crisp like Blu-ray, I mean it's rich 
Your fans will shout hooray
High resolution, serious clarity
I've seen it in it's totality
Ten plus points for quality
Sick production, but what's the point?
How do you explain your choice?
Lots of background noise

And then comes the smile
A million tiny teeth, gold plated
And here's a question
Does food taste better with those?
I know it helps your talk
Definitely augments your show
It helps you make your point
But what else? What's the big point?

Yeah, what's your story-line, son?
What's your plot?
Day by day I sit here on this bench
And watch the days flip and turn
As you and your crew do your thing 
Standing tall but falling short
Making progress but selling soul
What profit is there in that?
Or is it art for the sake of art?

Mario Vitale Date: 8/19/2017 10:53:00 PM thanks it took me back to the good old days with RUN D.M.C & Grandmaster Flash with Mellie Mel. Times when old school was in progress some how we lost touch with that vibe. We need to bring thoughts like that in a form of raps and poetry. Society is drifting into a cesspool of their new swing. See I like Fetty Wap but some people don't understand them. You can't please everyone. Thanks for the compliment I really appreciate it from the heart...

No greater honor than to have one's name mentioned in the same breath as Run DMC and JMJ. Wow, I have to stop and savor this rare moment but first, I must say another heartfelt thank you sir.
