Just Rhymin’

What does your soul look like?

Do you think of people, emotions, sounds, images?

I think of all sorts of things when I think of mine

I believe my soul is the color of blue and white

Azure and ivory

Shinin’ bright like diamond and tanzanite

I believe my soul is pure light with jet black around the edges

I rhyme constantly, till I’m short of breath

I hope these lines leave you breathless

Pure light, of amazing brilliance, my soul is on ice

Like Cube, Ras Kass, and Eldridge Cleaver

I only dream during the day ‘cause I refuse to at night

When it’s after dark that’s when my thoughts begin to spark

And I finally become inspired to write

My vision is clear like the predator owl

My thoughts; intimidating like the alpha wolf’s howl

I want to be on top like Apex

And I won’t stop till I reach the zenith

These words fall out of the sky like GPS satellites back in ‘09

I hope you that made you chuckle

‘Cause when I get in the zone everything is hazy, it’s purple

Just me and my music, no other substances needed

But if that’s your thing I say “Go For It,” Bud

I try and rhyme with unparalleled flair

Make sure every line is tight like it’s sealed with air

I anticipate the battle, ready to terminate

Like Omega I’m prepared to, “Kill, destroy, and eradicate”

Don’t be fooled though, I’m not a violent soul

I’m far from it, actually

Believe me; I have home training, to the point where most people call me “Old”

This is just a test

To play with my lyrical swiftness

Nothing too serious

Poetry has become something I often play with

It’s not always stories about being done wrong

Or life and death, or people singing about me when I’m gone

Just an outlet for words I leave unspoken

For this is my gratitude, a token

For being blessed enough to even have fun with this

Most kids don’t even realize their potential ‘cause they’re stuck in some project

So I thank the Lord everyday by playing with my gift

I can turn on the seriousness in an instant

Or joke with people, be affable and humorous

Then turn around, listen to dark music like O.C. feat Big L - Dangerous

I just love playing with words, it’s so much fun

But I can’t play no more for the night, momma said I’m done
The title says it all, I just felt like playing with some more words. I really liked how this came out, honestly. :)
Just silliness, tryin' to think of references and such on the spot. Ha! I wonder if anyone will take the time out to point all of 'em out. :P
Probably not, but it'd be hilarious if someone did! :XD:
