The Spark of Courageous Art


He who is not courageous enough needs to grow a pair of nuts/ Achieving goals takes 1 cup of soul and 2 gallons of guts/

 

To face your fears is highly different from being brave/ you’ll be brave to get some ass, but not to enter a cave/

 

Full of finish line's, peace, sorrow, and new beginnings/ This cave contain more than the usual basics of living/

 

Enough about this cave, I’ll give you a glimpse of my story/ just don't expect any cliche bullshit of fame and glory/

 

I chose to write rhymes to express my inner thoughts/ I used courage to join a tribe called “Flowetry”, filled with poetic talks.

I chose to catch feelings for my high school crush/ I used courage to ask her out and she played with my mind like a game of double-dutch/

I chose to participate in “Louder Than a Bomb”/ I used courage to maintain my dominance on the stage without a page Maya!!!/

I took steps to become an intelligent black male/ I used courage to passed down my wisdom with numerous stories to tell/

 

...ESPN never had the courage to make Ali and Tyson battle/ “Fight Night Round 4” solved that situation/

 

My mother had the courage to have a baby at 17 without attempting to abort him back to the essence/

My father had the courage to tell the lawyer that I’m not his child?/ in the end, $200 a month is my present/
