Silence…

Shattering the silence
Tearing it apart, like I’m tattering my garments
I rinsed out my mouth; it’s no longer shut with soap
I’ll no longer strut with rope, nope

It’s either speak now or forever hold my peace
So, I sowed my seed to close this hole I see
Unleashed a bony beast, there is no soul in me
Only a D, so we feast on dreams and lonely needs
I was made silent so I wouldn’t be violent
Stored all my anger and became aspirant
Skeletal, went from soft-pedal to soft-spoken
Skeletal, been asleep for years, now he’s awoken
The silence is broken, I’m no longer tongue-tied
It’s untied, I confide, I use rhymes to unhide
The secrets that make me sigh and make my lungs wide
Full of thoughts, but still empty, like a young Clyde
Without a Bonnie to make me complete
I need a reason to be hard as concrete
From unheard and unseen, I step up to compete
There’s a bunch of spoiled crackers I was called to come eat

I don’t talk much, but I got lots to say
Thoughts to display, silent, but not today
I never sought dismay, one day, I just got this way
Not wanting to speak like the day I was taught to pray
So, I got a pencil and became the quietest
And wondered why it is I became the guy wit’ this
Writin’ gift, least fittest, shiest kid wit’ writin’ wit
A black realm was pitted, I’m just tryin’ to whiten it
I let my attitude speak louder than words
And grew a gratitude for the power in verse
Dug a suicidal escape, like a tunnel with mines
I crawled out, now my mouth is gape to pummel with rhymes
I’m soundless, like mimes, but I can be loud
And you can be wowed when I’m found in front of crowds
Not carin’ how I yap, like I’m tapped in a house
Because I vowed to rap till I’m wrapped in a shroud

Silence, I’m shattering, havin’ confidence
Why wince? I’m staggering, havin’ tons convinced
Greater than a whisper, this is clatter scattering
Make a hater whimper, like his bladder’s splattering
This is my parlance, this **** is parlous
Not for the artless, critics are heartless
Not contrite, I contrive songs by skill and artifice
I went from an artist to an artiste, started with
Passion in my blood, flowing through my arteries
A one-man army, lines are my artillery
So, what’s your first impression? Every verse impressin’
I converse in sessions for Hip-Hop congregations
With concentration, I’ll prepare raps without
Resignation, desperation to repair Rap without
Hesitation, preparation for my “MC” designation
All I need now…is just a form of registration

I create fine art every time a rhyme starts
In songs, I apply smarts, serious, like a night guard
But capable of a light heart, I fight sparks
Don’t fall in love with me…I might fart
I choose to impart in parts until I’m departed
You wanna talk about death? Do not get me started
Admit it; you don’t want me to be admitted
My brain; it’s serrated, that’s how I’m sharp-witted
My life; I narrate it, my D; I ferret it
All of this is fated, silence; inherited
Merited, talented, and you’re aware of it
‘Cause you just got a mouthful
Thoughts got me sitting; now I’m emitting
Wrapped up in Rap, it’s unremitting
Kept my raps under raps for way too long
I’m comin’, 07.06.05, 4, 3, 2, 1

Shattering the silence
Shhh…
