Words of Wisdom

I shall enlighten you this morning

By savage writerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Step into my classroom, I shall be your instructor for the day

Who am I?

I go by the name of savage writer, no prefix included

You don’t have to call me mister

Don’t raise your hands or ask if you can use the bathroom

Silly, this isn’t an educational institution

Dwelling in the city’s gutter, that alleyway huddled within a circle

Flows and blunts are in rotation, everything’s lit

Let the cypher begin

First assignment I’m giving

Slaughter the emcee standing before you

Is that me you’re talking to?

Watch who you step to, I got them words of wisdom brewing in this cauldron

First verse will make you stumble like you drunk, bruised your ego?

Gee, I apologize, no

I don’t really, all emotional without a reason

Or is there one because we can create it

First verse will have you reevaluating your purpose

Robbed ya’ of life, now you heartless like a phantom

I didn’t even spit the second, condition is that critical

The stage feels different whenever you’re not watching it on television

Tell-your-vision, catch me all over it

Kiddo, I still got those words of wisdom for ya’

I grew up on a side that not even the New York Times would wanna be on

You won’t be seeing any cameras on this block

They only come out once homicide makes their rounds

Snapping shots of your murder scene

Got a courier to carry you after the coroner is done dressing you

You’re loved dead more than you’re loved alive

Which doesn’t surprise me in the 973, Rest in Peace is just said in vain here

From a city where they’ll clown you before they’ll support your vision

All a sudden you blow, people tryna’ kiss your ass in that moment

Saying they’ve always believed in you, easy to say when you knew that I wasn’t going to cave into your doubt fam

You still want them words of wisdom?

I’ll give em’ to u’
