“You expect the
spotlight to be as bright
As the last time you
got on stage
But the page flipped
& you got left out
the next chapter”
– Word to everything I love, Willie Perdomo
All your references have been misquoted
Your historical realities have been distorted
Footnotes been found out as false
As your pain emphatically placed between parenthesis
You figured the reading wouldn’t start on time
Fronting to be fashionably late to your own feature
This presentation co sponsored
By doubting Thomas foundation
Your confident culture coalition
Advised by outsiders antagonizing your apathy
Imagined those bright lights to take to bigger cities
Still by the streetlights you haven’t traveled
Beyond the 4 block radius of your hood
Magnus opus magnified by your misfortunes
Misread your own palms holding
on
Instead of letting go hip
hop quotable
Vocal trapped local waking
up everyday in the hood
Just blinking you
won’t go global
Journals been jogging no
looking back
Lyrics versus spirit on this mission
Make a quick pick so
you can hit the Mega
