Wish I Wrote That
I just want to write something that would make Eminem say "I wish I wrote that"
I just want to write something that would have been good enough for Tupac's notepad
I just want to write lines, or a poem and have some people quote that
I just want to write something, that would make Nas say "I wish I wrote That"
I hide behind my pad, but use words to put myself out there
I hope my words can help people repair
I write from a place of pain, because I don't think the truth should be hidden
You see words on a page, but this is the way my blood is dripping
I try my best to remain consistent with my talent
Maybe I talk about depression and heartbreak too much and need a better balance
But most of my life has consisted of both of those things
My poetry gives me a way to fly with broke wings
Maybe I talk about being Bipolar too much, but why should I hide it?
I cry on the page with ink, and won't use a fake persona to disguise it
I make love to my pad and my words flirt with minds
I'm far from a great poet, Maybe I need a professional to help me better word my lines
Some of my poems are all over the place
But I hope with every stroke of the pen I get closer to great
But more importantly I hope my poems helped people to get over tough times
Right now, I'm stuck in the middle of that Crazy and genius line
I just want to write something that would make Jay-Z say "I wish I wrote that"
I just want to write something that would have been good enough for Biggie's notepad
I just want to write lines, or a poem and have some people quote that
I just want to write something, that would make Rakim say "I wish I wrote that"
