This piece does have a choppy flow when read cause it's meant for audio. Just a drop I wrote while in class, hope yall like it.
A Word to the Wise
I-Got...People hatin on me
They place their bets
Say I'm not material for what-comes-next
Sayin I won't make the game
With 2 cents to my name
I'm like...Hold ya horses
This rap fame takes time
I'm pretty sure Jay-Z had to wait a-bit-in-line
Uh, but I digress I don't need this stress
Haters are fallin off, I brought the Molotov's
Rappin by night, cause the hustlin's part time
Aint stoppin till the rap shits, just about mine
Some record sales don't add to all-the-genius
Peruvian rapper drops but nobody see's it
Why?..I'm not a negro
My bank account amounts to zero
Thats why I'm out there hustlin
Man I need my Di nero (dinero)
Bro, just count the hits I'll be makin labels rich
Loosely fit with mainstream but to rap I'm stitched
You don't know what you do...
Let me just say...
Yall concerned with the violence
Claim to fame my brothers, raps only alliance
I pledge allegiance to all the flag bearers of rap
Hood inside 'em, born hustlin, still rhyme about trap
Said you steady mobbin, that your hearts still throbbin
Only think you can count is all-of-your-problems
Got your name in newspapers, almost in every column
Uh, hand me the keys or I'm afraid I might rob 'em
You don't know what you do...
Just a word...
Yee...incarcerated but hey how can we blame him?
Funny how he spat bars, now iron bards contain him
Yeah these allegations, my rhymin aint on probation
They lies, backstabbin brothas still in disguise
I'm..up front about all of mah thoughts
Utilizin utilities in which I was taught
Not top on itunes, off the albums I've bought (wizzy)
Respected by my elders off the talent I've brought
Uh yeah, love me or hate me my success is in the makin
Cash crop among the game, all others where takin
I'm..believe fated for death, but beneath this breath
Got this bigger plans, gotta climb up-all-the-steps
I'm fated for fame, paycheck soon amountin higher
Love haters, so keep hatin till the day I retire (which aint soon)
You don't know what you do...
