What I'm Missin'

What I'm Missin'

A Poem by John Chuck
"

Rap with a poetic, spoken-word vibe.

"

Take another hit

Take another sip

Another stroke of genius, blame it on the trip

They say I don't know what i'm missin'

Another failed test

Another cup to piss in

So take another sniff

Take another dip

Another broke and bleeding just so he can get a fix

They say I don't know what I'm missin'

Another one dead

Another cuffed in prison

Another father carrying his son's casket

Another son shootin' up like his dad did

Another mother trying hard to mask the

pain that came from a day that didn't have to happen

I knew him, I knew him

Another dude I went to school with

I knew him, I knew him

Now look at what the news says

At ten-to-two he was presumed dead, a drug addiction

How can they say I dont know what I'm missin'

Above the influence. Good message. Good overall flow with your rhyme scheme. Is this going to be a vocal piece with your musical group?
