Jaeti - Word! Lyrics

Who am I
Profound reflection
Of metric composition
Verse
With the power to curse
True dimension
Symbolic representation of life
Versification for mics
On paper
No form of abbreviation
For likes or dislikes
It's expression
Yin and yang
Pen to paper
Verbal refrain
Imagine the pad to pen
Pimp game
Uncontrolled utterance
Creates needs
Love followed by lust
Proceed
You quote it
Make you wish that you wrote it
Cause you feel it
Live it
Identify
Spoken words
Uplift and fly
Get high
Die
When you try to resist
The love
Of lyrical
Rhythmic, metric, melodic, song-like
Musical
Melodious ballads
Improvisational recitations
Versified sonnets
Bards
Who wants to be hard
When the soft strokes tap my pallet
As my tongue strikes erratic
Strokes erotic
Massaging brain cells with symbiotics
Smoother than cucumber skin tonics
On soft flesh
Of asiatic Mother Earth reflections
And dark complexions
It's the essence
Maya Angelou, Annette Thompson, Marcus Garvey
Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes,
Bob Marley
The Last Poets, The Word Smiths
Albert Ellis
John Crooks, Sista Soldier
Gill Scott-Heron
It strikes a balance
Fantasy and reality
Really
It's the escape
From this world's insanity
Poetry

Who I am is poetry
Who I am is poetry
Who am I
Poetry, poetry, poetry

I'm a slam to Saul Williams
Whisper out of project buildings
Reinforced slang
For all God's children
They call me bebop
Just the opposite of prosaic
Not routine, nor systematic
Not formulaic
Hater being basic
Not commonplace
Nor matter-of-fact
I float in smoke-filled habitats
Hover the blocks
Where all the mad rappers at
I'm Emily Dickinson
On the Gold Coast
Diana Knight
With unknown quotes
A rhythmic whimper
Flowing out slave boats
I make love
One stanza
Expose a heartfelt answer
Unseen skin on midnight panther
Kama Sutra
Reasonings first reactions
On past and coming attractions
I'm passion
Eat it like passion fruit
Nourish your action
For all skin types
Basic powers to ignite the masses
It's shine
Without heavy metal
Fiber optic lashes
Volume levels of equalization
It's the construction of propaganda
Assembling a revolution
Motivational fracture
A fraction of fiction or fantasy
But the reality is
That it is me
Who am I
I'm poetry

Who I am is poetry
Who I am is poetry
Who am I
Poetry, poetry, poetry
