Life of a Poet
(Bridge)
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
I deliver these facts
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
I deliver these facts
(Chorus)
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
(Verse)
Welcome to the life of a poet
Slash
Mc
Need I be specific, specific
That depends how close you listen
Do you like it or are you just another critic
Coming with it
Kind of witty when I rhyme
Maybe I might open your mind
Maybe you might find
The truth within
Do you ever pretend?
Like you know it
All
And fall victim to your pride
Today you can open your eyes
And get a glimpse of this picture that I'm painting
I set the beat up like an easel
This my house
So while the ba** knocks
I'll be looking through the peep hole
Like who is it
Then I switch into the beats mode
Not to say that I'm evil
But I'm a k**er and I probably will be k**ing when I get another track
And that's a fact
As I write
As I write to the rhythm of the track
(Chorus)
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
(Verse 2)
Truth is I'm ruthless to new kids
That do this
It's almost like they mistreat the music
So when I do this
I prove it's the coolest
Don't act like you never knew this
Like who's this
Now let introduce myself
Well I'm sort of a big deal where I chill
They say I'm nice
Cause my mic sk**s is quit ill
So now they hanging on my words
Feeling for my verbs
Yes lyricism from a lyricist is so real
I'm bringing it back to the facts
Real recognize real
We the realest in rap
Ain't no reason to be looking for deal
You talking real
This is where it is at
As I Am
Take it or leave it
We leave them grieving
Ain't no reason to be even
If I'm breathing
We'll be standing on the top
That's right
Now we standing on the top
(Bridge)
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
I deliver these facts
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
I deliver these facts
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
(Chorus)
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
(Bridge)
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
I deliver these facts
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
I deliver these facts
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
(Verse 3)
I'm so willing to be the escape goat
Cause when it comes to this rapping I could never say no
So I'll be whatever whenever they say so
And I'm a keep it coming till they say no more
And to the folks that don't get it
Let me say this slow
Like please don't insult my intelligence
That's why these bars are so relevant
You see they relish what I'm saying and I'm just trying to vent
So we can take this argument to the furthest extent
See us rappers get blamed every time someone's slain
So Now they watching our slang
Hoping that we explain?
But there's no trick to this trade I'm no David blain
But I'm blamed for their pain
If I say I'm insane
It's a shame that I'm shamed
For simply not being sane
I ain't saying that I'm trying to be a pain
But no pain no gain
I don't wanna be the same I ain't trying to be plain
So really what I'm saying is this is what's paying
See anyone could rap anybody can act
Like they k** at will when referring to sk**
Some act like it's real
But even when they rhyme it's like they just winding a real
No bloods been spilled
A few egos bruised but those wounds will heal
So I'll be at it until
I ain't feeling this ill
So even when I'm up and I'm over that hill
I will be at this still
Be rapping
While them folks still clapping
An addict
I told them they could have it
(Chorus)
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
Welcome to the life of a poet
Got to keep my mind open
Though it's hard not to lose my focus
But even when it's tough I'm going
(Bridge)
As I write to the rhythm of the track

I deliver these facts
As I write to the rhythm of the track
I deliver these
