And i was never a rapper
People misunderstood
Because my flow and my rhymes were so good
But i was just a poet
Speaking the beat of my heart
I never claimed to be book or street smart
There's something about poetry that's bigger than art
Untranslated emotioned carefully picked apart
I was always a surgeon tryna cut out my flaws
Tryna stitch up the marks made by several claws
And life always left me in awe
To big to grasp with my tiny paws
First scratches made by my mom
And that always left me feeling raw
So many screams telling me i'm wrong
Now that i'm older know more was going on
Know that she was in pain that's why she pushed me down
I try to write new pages call it moving on
But ink stains and i fear that i don't have that long
I write verses move my pen on the paper it feels urgent
To draw different perspectives and show that life's worth it
I'm certain that there's more hidden behind the curtain
I give meaning to the hurting look for the blessing not the burden
And i'm yearning for those better days
Yearning, yearning for those better days
Oh i'm yearning for better days
Yearning for better days
Yearning, yearning for better days
Oh i'm yearning for those better days
Yearning for those better days
Yearning for those better days
