Sound Of A Butterfly


It's been awhile since I've liked anything
New

Pac died

One of the Krazies turned Christian
The sickest of the sickmade is laying in a hospital bed.
They made a movie about nwa
And it made hella money
made me laugh

I remember when they banned them from the radio.
I remember when I had to sneak and listen to my sister's tape
the technique of the immortal one remains strong

On a cloud I called grown
I meditated with my blackness
had relations with the blues
made love to R&B
accepted Jazz as my personal musical savoir.

still

I never forgot
my first
love

I never fell out of love with
my first
love

yet

everything new
except a few
was just bullshit

then one day
high up
floating on that grown cloud
I got confused.
I knew what I saw but
I dint know they made sound
One day

I heard a butterfly

Murica

They say,

"America loves a winner."

 

I ask,

"Why doesn't America like Serena?"

 

They say,

"America loves an underdog?"

 

I ask,

"Why doesn't America like Serena?"

 

They say,

"America loves a good fight and fighter."

 

I say,

"I already know why but would you,

America,

ever admit

Just once.

 

You know what,

 

Nevermind."
