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?

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... Poet Mario William Vitale 8/19/17

Thanks Poet Mario Vitale. 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.
