it's showtime


it's showtime people bare gifts wrapping around in truth accenting in rhymes there won't be any rubbing of the lucky tree stump to me, luck is just another typical four letter word replaced with skill substitute for drive displaced by wisdom dismantle by intelligence arrested for integrity no r & b intermission with the odes to bump & grind no shout outs to name brands whose proceeds will never be found in a neighborhood near you people don't stop won't stop their words and verses takes names and points finger deadbeat fathers are indicted by the ink in their pens trespassing of a woman's body that is imprison in between the lines with no chance of parole faces and bodies that won't take their seats quietly in a section full of colored folks unless it's by ones choice it's showtime people bare gifts will you be open to receive
