Lyrics
Silent Knight, there’s a man beyond the name
My pen’s a weapon sharper than any blade
Limited only by my brain and its power to create
Mold, manipulate and shape what I say
Verbal sage on the mic speaking raps
My thoughts expand underneath this thinking cap
The pad is a mirror that reflects the inner me
Lyrically I speak in metaphors and similes; imagery is the air I breathe
The melody conducts my thoughts like a symphony
My lyrics weave in and out like tapestry to fit the beat
Vividly describing what I see
Depicting, the joys and hardships of this life
My words paint pictures like an artist when I rhyme
My creative spark can illuminate the darkness of the night
The mic is a medium, I say what I think
Channeling my thoughts from the lead and the ink
Expression of self over musical beats
Convey messages through sentences, crafty syllables and penmanship
Abstract ideas turned into text, words connect like the internet
The music is like blood flowing through my veins
It elevates the mental state of my brain, viewing the world in different ways
I engage in cognitive processes, operating on a different plane of consciousness
Breathe in, a deeper understanding of this life as we know it
Breathe out, enlightening the people with the knowledge in these poems
My heartbeat is the rhythm of the drum and loop
Intermeshing with my metaphorical depictions of the truth
Putting listeners in a contemplative state of mind
I live my life in between the paper’s lines
Become entranced as I speak in a dialect of rhyme
Possessing eyes that can see this world in a different light
I’m a different type of poet when I grip the mic
The words I recite, pieces everything together
Injecting heart and soul into every word and letter
They’re the finishing touch, giving life to my pictures
The rage and frustration that you find in my scriptures
Emerging from the deepest regions of my mind
Illustrating images visible even to the blind
I often conversate with my inner self for knowledge
Discussion of intellectual and esoteric topics
My brain operates in unorthodox ways
Talking to me through subliminal shockwaves
Subconscious speaking as I decode the meaning
Scribble down these riddles in the shadows of the evening
I feel the life in my words and hear the paper breathing
Pulsating to the tempo of the instrumental
Transcendental thoughts racing through my mental
Telling stories with the pen or pencil
Influential narrative, it’s imperative that you listen
Philosophically poetic and eloquent diction
Pictorial descriptions embellishing the rhythm
With flying colors like light shining through a prism
Questioning this life and its intricate mechanics
Searching for the truth to our existence on this planet
The metaphysical and spiritual explained through rhetorical tactics
These are the tools of the trade, now watch me animate the canvas
