I've Got/60 Seconds to prove to you that I've got something worth saying
Since I'm already losing some of you I've got about 57 seconds left and I'm gonna start praying
That the brainstorms that come like torrential rainstorms destroy your preconceived notions of a brother like me spittin/hopin'/wonderin' if these wordforms reach the recesses of your mind...
Damn...48 seconds to get my point across
If I write down all of the profound thoughts that crossed my mind and balled them up to put 'em in a rhyme I'd probably run out of time so I'll leave you with a few more lines so that you don't have to decipher the sublime messages that metaphors and similes tend to convey best and give you the raw facts
Just like that I've given you my thesis in a manner that bespeaks a man who believes in...
GOD/Love/Family/The Black Woman/The Black Man/and Hip-Hop and I won't stop spittin' these passionate verses of prose until my lungs collapse and blood starts comin' out my nose
30 more to go and I'm only halfway there...
At this point I hope that just one of my phrases make you read the chapters in between the pages of my tattered and torn moleskin notebook with the sole purpose of making you look at the poets that grace this stage as non-profit teachers praying for another page at the resurrection/hoping to capture the beauty therein while asking for repentance of a life full of sin/got 20 left...
The blood that flows in my veins and maintains the lyrical umbilical to the past is that of a million poets that tread in shoes with tattered lasts
I am the descendant of Sinke, remember...the guy from Amistad? "Give us us free?" The only difference is that I'm still stuck in the slave ship of materialistic mentality, voracious vanity and I'm wondering how can it be that I'm one of the few trying to escape...
So with ten seconds left I'm asking you to fight to the death and sing redemption songs until you run out of breath...
5 seconds to go and my knees hit flo' taking two seconds so that you know....God is Love....
