Poetry In Motion

I BLESS HE THAT TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN,
PEOPLE SAY I'M ON A SUICIDAL MISSION,
MAD POTENTIALS AND AMBITIONS,
PLANS AND VISIONS,
GOALS AND ACHIEVEMENTS,
THE PRODUCT OF MY ENVIRONMENT,
TIME IS SPENT WASTED,
I CAN FEEL THE HATRED,
NIGGA'S DUCKING POLICE HIDIN' IN BASEMENTS,
THAT'S WHY I BUILD TODAY AND DESTROY TOMMOROW,
GOOD MORNING FRESH START NO MORE SORROW,
BUT ITS BACK TO MY ENVIRONMENT DAMN,
FAM IS ALL I HAVE NOW,
CAN'T LET 'EM GO I'M TOO PROUD,
AND PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND THE GUY THAT HIDES BEHIND THE CHINKY EYES,
CUTE FACE AND NICE SMILE,
IS SAYING GOOD MORNING TO HIP-HOP NOW,
GOOD MORNINIG WORLD THIS IS HIP-HOP

DEATH IS THE ROOT OF EVIL,
SO I LIVE FOR MY PEOPLE,
THROUGH THESE BARS,
THROUGH THESE WALLS,
I'M BOUT TO GO HAYWIRE,
I CAN FEEL THE FIRE,
RUNNIN' THROUGH MY VEINS,
LINKIN' TO MY BRAIN,
ALL IN MY HEART AND SOUL IT STAYS,
CAN'T LET IT GO MANE,
WILL IT CHANGE THE PAIN,
STOP THE RAIN,
BRING NIGGA'S FROM THE GRAVE,
COULD I SAVE,
THE ONLY THING WE HAVE LEFT,
THE SAME THING THAT KILLED BIG AND PAC,
SOULJA SLIM IT SHOT,
PUN HEART BEAT STOPPED,
TOOK THE WORLD BY SHOCK,
TRUE DEFINITION OF HIP-HOP,
WHATS THE PURPOSE,
CHRIS CHANGE THE FACE OF IT WHEN HE HIT THE SURFACE,
THEY SAY HIP-HOP HAS DIED,
BUT ITS QUITE ALIVE,
IT LIVES THROUGH THE BARS OF TALIB QWELLI, MOS DEF, JAY AND NAS,
THE EPIPHANY LISTEN TO MOMENT OF CLARIDY HAS BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO MY PAST,
HELP ME FORGIVE MY DAD,
AS I BLAST DOUBLE GLOCKS THINKIN' WITH A MILITANT MIND,
IT'S LIKE I FOUND THE LOST MIXTAPES OF '89,
LOVE IS BLIND,
IT'LL TAKE OVER YOUR MIND,
'CAUSE THE PROWESS,
THAT I POSESS HAS BLESSED MANY AND LEFT OTHER'S BEHIND,
HIP-HOP IS WHAT I'M TRYNA FIND,
IN IT'S PRIME.

IT'S LIKE A LINE,
I CAN SEE THE SIGNS,
AS I PASS THROUGH THIS TIMELINE,
TRYNA FIND HIP-HOP IN IT'S PRIME,
AS I RHYME WITH METAPHORS AND SIMILE'S,
YA'LL NIGGA'S ISN'T CATCHING WHAT I'M SAYING LYRICALLY,
HEAVENLY PIERCE YOUR SOUL TOUCH SPIRITUALLY,
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE A SOLDIER,
RHYMES ARE POTENT,
THOUGHT FOR FOOD GIVIN' NIGGA'S PROTEIN,
ON MY SCENE,
MY DEMEANOR IS MEANER THAN ANY WOMAN SHOE GAME,
PAIN IS WHAT I FELT,
WHEN HIP-HOP LEFT,
NOTHIN' ELSE LIED ON THE SHELF,
BUT PROBLEMS COLLECTED DUST,
TO THE CHEST I BUST,
EVERY VESSEL IN YOUR BRAIN,
GOIN' INSANE,
BLESSING NIGGA'S WITH THAT PLEASURE AND PAIN,
BRINGIN' THINGS BACK WHEN HIP-HOP WAS POPPIN',
THERE WAS NO POP LOCK AND DROP IT,
THERE WAS THAT QUEEN'S BRIDGE, KRS, RAKIM, AND NAS SHIT,
ETHER WAS HOT BUT HOVA,
TOOK OVA,
MIXED COKE WITH SODA,
ONE OF THE ILLEST MC'S OF HIS TIMES AND MADE SONGS CRY,
HE AND HIS FIANCEE,
BEYONCE,
RELIVED BONNIE AND CLYDE,
DROP THE BLACK ALBUM THE HE RETIRED,
BLESSED US YEARS LATER WITH KINGDOM COME THEN JAY AND NAS UNITED,
HIP-HOP WHY FIGHT IT?
