Untitled: Poetry Slam '07

untitled: poetry slam '07 - revised
(slam poem / 2007)

theyre tellin each other stories
bout how my life's just a bore? please.
just cuz i don't fit into their categories?
they don't know shit about the bullets i've bit
all the times i gave up so theyd think that i fit
into their stupid social scheme
their segregated dream
i would die before id give up and be part of their team
so they can talk behind my back
bout the skills they think i lack
theyre just jealous of my mind and how i don't need crack
so they can sit there
and bear witness to this crime
they didnt know who i was
they didnt know i could rhyme
but thats fine cuz we all know there will come a time
when im on the top and those bitches aint got a dime
but till then i wanna make one thing clear
this aint the season finale its the series premiere
i will never back down
i will never show fear
cuz this aint just some freestyle that im spittin here
this is truth (hard as a diamond and sharp as a knife)
and i aint stoppin tomorrow you know im in this for life
so whatever those haters thought i was trying to be
this is a public declaration: you cant stop me.
