'Poetic Bumpkins'

Poetikmind:


Listen to dis tale I bout to say
Me no come like clod, stumblin...
spare me oh lord have mercy...

Take a peep deep into your 'mirror'
then, steer as far away
from Da naysayers
you been hearin' of...

Literally, language is oft a barrier
but what's often lost is the cost
of prejudgin' if intellect ever came
or went...Intelligence, I'm a carrier

Lest one be deceived,
there's far more to thee
than ever conceived
see, we won't even concede
to belligerence, n' I'm
bout ta spit ya deliverance
to thee-'Phenom of Poetics'
n' to all who seek wise write
best to be 'ware...'
by my side right-Der
it's my poetic Otha notha brotha
from anotha motha, Naajir...!

NAAJIR:

whaddup Poe?.
yu already know how da shit go..
we speak in tongues unfamiliar
to this hung jury predisposed to oppose us
judged n begrudged us, reviled us
cuz we stay pimpin the king's English
defiled it as we spit it
rocked it like a fitted Yankee cap
slanted to the side
hence the side eye..
the character assassination
of the not fully assimilated..
assumed to have sub par intelligence...
but neva did we eva think the world was flat..
remember that?...

now peep how they try to siphon from our cipher
tryin to decipher the code 'o da concrete jungle
like gorillaz in the mist mistaken for savages..
blessed with the inherit wisdom
that beat out the averages ...
can't comprehend the IQ of two ghetto Caesars..
droppin verses just for leisure..
Shiiiiiit...king Kong ain't got nothin on us!!!...
everyday is trainin day fuckin wit us
as we read enemies in Morse code
telegraghin narrow minded thoughts with ESP
Foe give 'em mo of that broken English
straight from the DUP..

Poetikmind:

Fo sho it's a 'his-story' lesson
but I'm guessin' some won't
receive it as a blessin'
too focused on what's messin'
with their mind, 'query incessant'
n' heads steady dancin'
tryna find sense
in these uttered verses since
it battered their pretenses
as Da U-N-I-Dispersed
verbal projectiles
all while reiteratin'
what was previously related...
that Ebonics/slang don't mean
a damn thing
when one espouses whimsical,
wry, n' yet real wisdom
that only true intellect bring...

Think of us what u will
'poetic bumpkins' who spat ill
still, spittin' dem dim witted
splittin heads with somethin'
they can feel!

NAAJIR:

yeah yeah..
let's give 'em sumthin fo real
bro pass the pen
fo me to put anudder spin on this joint
analyzin how their youth be glamorizin

Our dialect through appropriated attitudes
twisted in how they honor it
while theze esteemed intellectualz
seem Black-tose intolerant
like our lives don't matter
meanwhile our graffiti gets splattered
all across global frontiers
gave' em Hop Hop on a silver platter ...
gave platinum voices to the white trash
makin big splashes
with chocolate flavored 'eminems'...
maybe that was a synonym for a hostile take over
with a media sponsored Maclemore n Iggy
replacin Pac n Biggie?...
yeah um a bit aggy at those
who try to keep us pigeonholed
after they stole then tried to refurbish

Somethin they claimed was broken
But theze words spoken in slang
be jus anudder part of our big bang
Continuous in movement
Cuz the creator created us
jus as planned
Forever poetically phunky,
n original individualz
