wow

okay first piece i wrote in awhile, meant to be performed with "Junior Kickstart" by The Go! Team

this is v1

one time before you mess my mind
gotta rhyme that'll make your spirits shine
now two don't know what to do
stay tough, sho' nuff, mic check one two

here we go
one time before you mess my mind
gotta rhyme that'll make your spirits shine
now two don't know what to do
stay tough, sho' nuff, mic check one two
mic check on my microphone
can't go home something's wrong
now i feel alone
ghetto streets feel the beat unique
intersect interject bullet through the cheek
rhythm fails but it tells a tale
mnemonic electronic sent it through the mail
data's fast travel through a plane
been away for awhile
are you still the same
it's true i remember when
they locked us outside
wouldn't let us in
it's cool i gotta know you
and we kissed on the street out of the blue

that's why i grab the microphone
i write rhymes so i could let you know
how i feel and i'm feelin fine
that's why it's good to be a it's good to be alive

third time that i messed your mind
rhymin sublime should be a crime
goin north for the forth got things to sort
i loved our chat but gotta cut it short
what we deal on the day to day
class stratification on lay away
bills loans cars i signed to pay
do i got enough rent for the month of may
that's how it goes i'm sad to say
i seemed to know it all yesterday
i paid to play and that's okay
i didn't like your game anyway
gender lines sexuality
racialized forms of heirarchy
color schemes with satisfaction
marginalization right in action
who's to know if adam lives in theory
fairy tale books learned taught as history
live or die to find a solution
fighting strong armed revolution
fists rose up, pumped in the air
masses diluted do they even care
if i talk
would you respond me
instead of shouting chants mindlessly

i mic check on my microphone
you ask me how i feel and i feel alone
i lived life theoretically and i
practice knowledge pedagocically
read the signs that i failed to see
i try to be all i could be
the only one i can be is me
it's good for me to it's good for me to see

revolution not televised
countdown stops to stay alive
that's why i grab the microphone
i write rhymes so i could let you know

revolution not televised
countdown stops to stay alive
and that's why i grab the microphone
i write my rhymes so i could let you know
stone cold rhythm drops the beat
slick bass line can you feel the heat
bodies in motion pass the test
will you stop and give it a rest
