Kayero Sanda - Just A Poet (Spoken Word) lyrics

I am an orator I am exceptionally brilliant with words They say... They say a picture is worth more than a thousand words But I'd rather paint perfect pictures with mere words That even the painter could not expressively capture with brush strokes That's a dis-service, a dis-pleasure. The words of this poet can never be dis-regarded Nah, I take that back For real, I take it back 'Cos I'm a creator I create words that create life Bury these words and see them grow and bloom Like Orchids cultivated on a cultured soil These words got flesh, blood, body, spirit, soul THIS IS POETRY: THIS...IS PROSE I could make you buy a poisonous potion But I'll rather not 'Cos I just wanna win battles, win wars Win souls, earn victory, make history ....Sorry, I just rewrote it You're about that life, I'm about these words 'Cos this to me, fam, is life See, I was born for this, I was birthed with this ability I mastered the art, I mastered this craft It's artistry, It's craftsmanship I turn pulp and papyrus into paper Leather skins into parchments Clay and stones into tablets I quill, I pen, I ink Call it whatever you want, I'm just a wordsmith And don't confuse me for a prodigy 'cos I'm not And I am not a genius either I'm just a shaper, a maker Of Gracious, Grace-Giving, Gorgeous, life-saving, enGaging words I'm Great, I am magnificent You know where my peak is, that's where I wanna be Where I can speak words that transcend and transform Never to be translated but transfigured But I'm not yet getting closer I'm not yet going home With these dead broken bones Singing 40 songs While I'm crossing Jordan I'm gifted but my gift is a curse And don't blame me I am JUST A POET
