Why I Write
Location
I write to vent
I write mostly to clear thoughts & emotions, to embrace death & his will to take loved ones away
When I prayed them to stay
Man my life needs a change
I write verses that make me feel extravagant
Wishing someday people would clear out their mind of crazy thoughts like suicide & potential homicides
Bloodshed is always going through the ghetto streets
All because people like me can’t write their feelings on piece of paper
Those are the one to grow up haters
They would rather kill than express bottled up emotions
So I write dedicating this to all the people who pop pills & take potions
Let me shine some light, splitting your life like I am Moses
I know how you deal with this like there is no way out
& all you do is freak out
But the light is real, & those cards you deal with will fold out.
You can say I take time to make people feel right with what I spit
Not like putting them down & shit
The feelings I express on my verses walk the line
Of life & many similar to mine
Particularly young kids who think they’re ruthless
Trying to hustle & steal up the block, that aint no movement
It all begins in a class doodling & getting off topic
To that real chalk talk because you have time to prosper
But what happen in between I promised never to say
Yes my story might be too vague
All you have to know is that people passed away
& even though he is gone to this day he is still considered my sensei
He is the reason I write for today & plan for tomorrow
The real difference between a writer & me is our sorrow
& it certainly doesn’t go away drowning it in the bottom of a bottle.
My love for verses & phrases is much more than plays, music, & media can describe
I know there is more to it than just the lyrics to a song like don’t put me aside
Because the soul behind the scenes uses this to express himself like a vaccine
Words are power, powers are words & depending on how you use them you will accomplish your dreams
Abusing this gift leads to white lies & unintentional harm to other I write for a better purpose than what it seems
Rapping had turned my life around, a full one-eight,
From crack rock to helping old ladies.
Writing in my life is a big part & the question why I write, is to try & motivate people to leave those sticky situations I might be young
But I’ve digested more scenes than a thirty year old rapper has sung
All of this makes me want to write things down, & everyone, in different ways, is special
But a h& full is unique
as I write these lines I call this my technique
This is why I write. To lead a new form
Of writing in this lost world.
