The Menace of University Heights, Newark

He's lurking.

By savage writerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

It’s time for me to prove myself once again

A’ight, look

Which form of storytelling do you want me to bring to life first

Do you want another crime thriller?

How about an ode poem?

I’ll personify it to your liking

Free verse?

It’s how I write mostly

I know you’ll love this one

Rapping

I hope you’re into that

Cuz’ it’s what you’re getting, believe it or not

Like an alcoholic beverage my structures will leave you bent

You see a brother pull up in a Bentley

All a sudden, to you he’s too materialistic

I used to walk everywhere I went dummy, what kind of statement is that

I know that people who don’t like me are not trying to see me win

Fortunate enough for them, I don’t care

Never did

Wanted to see me stuck, not have anything goin’ for myself

Greased up the wheels now I’m on the move

And it sickens you, not much you can do

But watch me take over this game

In the words of a menace, I hope you not sipping juice round’ where I’m living

savage writer, Mr. Raymond and Khali?

Yes, they’re all the same individual

No cape or mask is required

Come as I am, real name included

Set aside the gimmicks, on my way to millions

Tryna’ get that flight to Brazil, might elope there in the future

Won’t speak on it, time will tell what’ll happen

Til’ then, each letter I craft is going to shape my HIStory

What, you believe that I’m just showing off?

I am, I’m showing my ass

It’s called TALENT

Skill, a superpower if you will

Levitate my enemies

Take you out to space

Dense as these sentences are, they’re too much for you

Calcify your bones to pieces, now you’re boneless

Used to give a fuck about love, I give less fucks about it

Because I’m immersed into the grind, all a sudden I don’t care about any intimacy
