One Day A Friend Said To Me....

“ Your Thoughts Big V
are deep and ample,
but to get them through to people,
you should try a different angle ! “

By This She Meant...

My Presence Is LARGE... !!!
And My Words Hit HARD... !!!

Because My Voice...
OUTWEIGHS My Poise... !!!

So Having...
Thought About The Way...

Most People REACT....
To My... “ Wordplay “...

I Had To Say WITHOUT Delay... !!!!
That Most Perceive Me To Be...
An ANGRY... Human Being... !!!!!!

So... Why Is That... ?
When I’m SO Laid Back... ?!?

It Still Seems That Being Black...
And Articulating... FACTS...

THROWS FEAR FILLED PACKS...
Back To Their... CRACK... !!!!!!!

Be It.....
From The... “ PIPE “... !!!!!!
Or.... Through A Mic’.....

These Bourgeoise Types....
CLEARLY Seem To DISLIKE...
The Words I Write..... !!!

UNLIKE THE POOR...
Who Smoke Crack Like...

Their DOING IT....
Is.... Food For Life.... ?!?

My Words Fa SURE...
Sometimes CRACK Minds... !!!!!
Like Superman... CRACKS...
When He Sees KRYPTONITE.... !!!!

So Messages Through Scripts....
I Should... Perhaps...

..... " Dangle "..... ?

So That People Can GRIP... !!!
Or BETTER STILL Get A HANDLE... !!!

of... What It Is...
My Pen Transmits...

Well I’m NOT CONVINCED... !!!
That This Will... Help...

Because I NEED...
To Be TRUE To Myself.... !!!!!!

If People DON’T GET IT...
What Can I Do.... ???
Other Than STICK...
To MY Version of The Truth... !!!

Can’t Please The Masses...
Til’ They CHOOSE To Be PLEASED... !!!!

That’s The Way Currently...
Things Seem To Be.... ?
Or... Is It That THEY...
Are REALLY AFRAID... ?
of People Who Say....
What They Want To Say... !!!!!

It’s CLEAR These Days...
MOST Want To ENTERTAIN... !!!

So That They Can Get PAID...
For Their CLOWN LIKE Displays... !!!

Well To ME That’s An Angle...
FILLED WITH.... FAKES.... !!!!!!
BAD APPLES And Snakes... !!!!!
And Those Who... CLAIM...

“ They’re Not About Fame ! “ …

But Make Their Way...
Through Government Pay... ?!?

It’s All... “ A Game “...
of... DIFFERENT Strains...
And... DIFFERENT Veins...

Maybe One Day...
The Game Will Change... ???

But Those Like Me...
Will Stay The SAME... !!!

And... Try OUR BEST...
To... WAKE UP Heads... !!!!!!!

My Angles... DIFFER....
From... ALL THE REST... !!!!!
Because I... DELIVER...
In The Face of PESTS..... !!!!!
Who Choose To.... REJECT.....

My Use of Rhyme And INTELLECT....
I QUICKLY STRANGLE Their DEFECTS..... !!!

Through Use of Simple...
..... “ Common Sense “.....

Which Helps UNRAVEL...
Their... OBSTACLE Tests... !!!

So That I Can PASS GO... !!!
And YES.... “ Collect “.....

A HEALTHY Cheque of REAL RESPECT... !!!
From Those IMPRESSED By My Use of Text...

My Style Is CLEARLY “ Angular “...
When Using My... Vernacular...
In FACT It’s Quite SPECTACULAR... !!!
With BITE Just Like Count Blackula’... !!!

So Me I Think I’ll Be STRAIGHT UP...
Even When... I OFFEND Some... !!!

Because My Thought Waves...
Leave Them SHOCKED... !!!
When... Words I Link...
... CONNECT The Dots... !!!

Or... Maybe I... ?
Should... “ Change My Tone “... ?

“ You’re Too Aggressive ! “ …

“ Here we go !
What’s your problem with my prose ?
It’s not my fault it rocks your boat ! “

“ See what I mean !
You’re Too Dark V ! “

“Listen up man that’s just me !
I like my personality ! “

I Deal In TRUTH And Honesty...
While Most Indulge In FANTASIES...

FALSE... “ Prophecies “...
... Spoken FAECES... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their Poetry’s A TRAGEDY... !!!
Because It SHUNS...........

......... “ REALITY “.........

Like JANE They Bring...
..... “ CALAMITIES “..... !!!!!

I Devise Angles CONSTANTLY...
That Leave These Dummies...

Seeing.... GREEN.....

GREEN With.... “ ENVY “....
........... JEALOUSY..........

So Big Virge CHANGE....
To... “ Play The Game “...

The Word I BELIEVE...
Is... UNLIKELY... !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Self Belief Does NOT Exceed...
Humility... That Rests In Me... !!!

Because I’d Like My Words To REACH...
A Part of YOU That HELPS You SEE...
The PURPOSE of... My Poetry...

My Form of Speech...
May Seem... ANGRY...

But... Take A Sec’.........................
BEFORE Judging My Poetry... !!!
Do I Really PROJECT An ANGRY MAN... ???

Who’s ALWAYS VEX... ?!?
I’m... FAR From THAT... !!!

In Actual FACT I’d Like To See...

MORE OF US..... Step BACK.....
Rather Than Make ATTACKS.......

Due To Stereotypes Inside Our Minds....
That... WE KNOW AREN'T Right... !!!

Being Paranoid’s...
CLEARLY NOT A Smart Choice... !!!!!

And Is A Track We NEED To AVOID... !!!!!

My Words CLEARLY STRANGLE...
Those Who CAN’T Handle...
Views I... EXPRESS...
That Are PERFECTLY SCRAMBLED.... !!!

But REALLY Does This Mean... ?
I Should... “ TRY “... ?

... “ A Different Angle “...
Conversations, opinions and responses to ones' work, can make you question, how it is, you do your thing, and these are just a few of the things that inspired this ....
