Spoken Word Poetry
Him: ” Hey you, there in the car. Don’t worry I am not asking for money.”
Me: (with a big piece of fish in both hands minding my own business).
Him: “Hey buy me a coffee, Yo”
Me: “I don’t have the ability to assist you at the moment”
Him: “You have the ability to stuff your face though!”
I got caught eating,
Not sleeping,
It was just Thursday,
It wasn’t even the weekend,
Pigging out on Jamaican food,
While the car was in the park,
Starving to eat,
Helping my grandmom’s how to walk,
Rookie noob without a clue,
Knocked on the window,
Wish I left him on read,
But instead I rolled the windows,
In came the common lie,
Like fireworks, 4th of July,
I didn’t want to violate,
I don’t spill hate,
But in New York City,
It will come to you anyway,
So I had inspiration to write,
Hear is what I wanted to say,
That I kept inside,
Mannnnnnn,
If you don’t move from my car,
Now you got wanting to write these bars,
I am know that living in New York City is hard,
But don’t get at me, unless you want us to go to war,
Mannnnnnn,
If you don’t move from my car,
Now you got wanting to write 16 bars,
I am know that living in the city is hard,
But pulling up on wrong, wont get you far.
Every feelings in my mind,
All I wanted was to roast him,
I got a liking for words,
I am about to expose him,
I kept it simple and honest,
But all he wanted to play victim,
And for me to feel sorry,
He couldn’t read the room,
Cause he didn’t know how,
I am going leave it there,
My words had he taking a bow.
*Note: Yea, so I wrote a subtle react piece to this unruly guy in New York City. At the time I really wanted to violate because of the disrespect, but my mother raised right, so I leave him unchecked. Now if it was a battle rap competition, I would have went crazy on him. He was just having a bad day, that led to a bad response.
All in all, we all have bad days. Be stay, humble and kind. But don’t be rude.
