Poem: talk back

(Inspired by 6lack song of the same name)

Been quiet for a while

Now it’s time to get loud

Been riding on a high

No one ever seen common ground

Been declining from this high

And yet they’ll never see me down

Even if the jewels within reach

You could never touch the crown

Snakes in the grass

They always come around

Trying to gain capital in my city

Just know I’m safe and sound

You lost in my success

And it’s time for you to be found

I speak to God all the time

And He say I’m not done yet

He say continue doing this

Until it’s not fun yet

Too close to greatness

And I sense I’m not the one yet

Campaign been started

Crazy no one run yet

I speak to God all the time

That ain’t cap

He say keep going

Don’t fall for the traps

And when they speak

Don’t let them hear you talkback

Actions speak themselves

That’s how you get em to react
