RedemptionA Poem by Samuel BaileyRedemption comes with the price of sacrifice.I don’t know where I’ve been, All I know is I’ve killed the kid, The one in me, innocence been splattered, This must be it, needless to say, I must spit, Before its blood might as well be rhymes, More so a message, get with the times, So I place a fancy beat , Add some sick soliloquys , Mix it up with a blend of melodies and metaphors, Break it down, slang it out to the crowd, Before you know it young mans been crowned, That’s just a dream, A wonderland, never know what will happen, Better look out - while you think your ahead, I’m actually about to start lapping, What’s that, the quiet, no more laughing, I have been here too long to not speak up, Times up, grab a cup moist the mouth, Get it ready for the showing out of a lifetime, I guess its my time, No longer will I peddle for the devil, I didn’t sell my soul I pawned that b***h, The terms weren’t clear, times were tough But now I understand, and I want out of here, I’m taking my s**t ,throwing away my fear I’m keeping a little bit in my pocket to remind myself though Never get to close F**k drawing the line in the sand, I’m flipping the whole sandbox To expose the new plan I had my dance with the devil, Had a couple spins and a few twist Champagne I sipped, Now I’m spitting out that
s**t, To ignite the slit wrist Of those who were affected The broken families, babies neglected This is for the misrepresented The ones that have been bamboozled and swindled The truth is here Let it ring out , no clichés or shiny metals This aint no trick, as real at it gets F**k the devil, I’m exposing the one walking with arms open,
Only to get you close Then its over Whether it’s a noose or a poison toast He will take you there, The destination is known, its not where you wanna be Look at me I had to crawl out that b***h, That black hole almost took me over So now its time to lynch, The true ignorant one, The addicted and the pushers , the peddlers, And all yall motha f****s That follow the hecklers Stand in line No f**k that It’s our time, no more feeding the beast When it’s all said and done That man should be deceased If not, The next generation has to strap up, Get ready for battle Because I won’t stop, and he wont stop So I thought I told you that we can’t stop You may be persistent You may be a baffling b*****d, But f**k it, I got a whole new hit list, It includes the ones that go after the weak, Petty mutha f****s, quick to slap a man that turns the cheek Well lets’ get it right This is only the beginning And it starts tonight, night, night, night
Nas said he’s gonna overthrow the devil Whether it be with two turntables Or some elaborate scheme Whatever it may be, I’m down, Ive seen the light I had to get to the darkest spot, For me to rise I had to first drop I had to be humbled ,and I see that now Thanks to he who is above Out of love we can make it back But now that we got a description Gain some perspective Retroactive action must happen Before we may begin overcome the most simplest sin Time will tell, least now I know No longer am I head in the sand Rise up, like Samuel Jackson said Redemption. © 2011 Samuel Bailey |
