Legit

Real, no gimmick

By savage writerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Standing over all the books I’ve written like cocaine in Scarface

Wondering which level I can take my craft next,

I’m in desperate need of a challenge

Hitting the books and the weights,

weed can get your mind straight

Revel in this moment of your dormancy,

for you know that you shall soon return to make your journey known

The outside world hasn’t changed,

shit so quiet that I can hear my own pen drop,

let alone sugar touching the floor

Or the ashes falling from the blunt,

I’ll take over the world you better mark my words

I been off the media for days now,

had to fall off the radar to get my mind tight,

you gotta go off to make yourself successful

Winning in silence, only thing that matters right now is the art dawg

Writing history as I make it, think I give a shit about losing a

couple of followers over on Instagram?

I’m on tour, hitting up any open mic that I can

Think I got time for nonsense, well try again

Remember there was a time where none of this was going for me?

Publishing a book and being recognized for my skillset were just daydreams away

Perception altered my reality,

romanticized my ambitions heavily

Though it was my motivation that became heavenly

My hells taught me to prevail no matter the temperature of the flames

The fame ain’t all that I wanna obtain, I wanna be glorious

I wanna be remembered for generations to come

And not be trapped inside a time capsule of the 2010s decade

Consistency and effort brought me here, I was willing to do the work doe

My circle is a dot, it comes with moving up on the ladder

I only wanna be around winners who can create winners,

not losers who shit on you for losing

I just wanna be legit

Is it too much to ask for???
