Say What

King Sway

Decipher, King, Rhyme

Ayo niggah,
I’m tired of being shot the last trigger,
Tigger jumped his tail, wondering if he failed, became bigger.
Tired of trying to express my love.
Tired of being criticised, cause they above.
But that hierarchy, is the reason they not above…
Critical to the extent that they say they love me.
But they don’t really,
I put my style in your skin, and to you it’s skin only.
No man body, will ever really own me.
And that’s like saying, fuck you to my fam.
Cause in each of those single breaths, you don’t give a God damn,
So it’s you battling your own true religion.
Fuck the gift, fuck the fifth, straight fuck the vision,
Like intellect, made you try respect what I been on.
After June, that’s when love leaves,
So is it wrong…me expressing what my mind’s been on?
Apparently, so I gravitate to the lost state, gone to raise faculty.
Don lost the meaning, lost in space – they tryna kill the real feeling.
When I embark on this road I done chose.
I decipher, decapitate and recreate prose.
Like shit up your nose,
It only lasts one breath,
I spit shit to get it off my skin-chest.
Cardiac arrest, the development is eloquent,
Motherfucking Oxford gave me a language and rules to circumvent.
And if a single breath held back is what I’m apparently born to.
It’s like Japanese muthafuckers, not knowing what’s SHINJU. KU.
You can say KO.
And break bones, you can say “Oh no” and use the dial tones.
You can say “Oh my God”, this homosapien on some crazy shit.
Or you could remotely try to understand my afrosapien gift.
Like just one breath, can break a condom sheath
Best be prepared for the crazy shit, that’s underneath.
It’s like how I gonna really relate to my friends…
When at the point of reckoning, it’s only my soul that bends.
So from here on out,
I shouldn’t even give a fuck,
So from here on out,
I shouldn’t even say what up.
I’m not here to validate phrase or decipher what pays…
There’s not enough rays in my day to make this King sway.

Sunrise for the eyes
That see beyond the light rays,
Raise stakes so high
So immortals thinking
That we might stay.
Oceans move – we don’t sway
Carbon copy frequencies,
So future memories replay the melodies…
We greet day,
As we pray through the night.
We lip spray,
Tryna feel the homeless plight.

With one mic,
You send children to die,
And with that same mic,
You could lift all our souls sky high.

I really can’t sleep cause when wake, its the same.
Even with both eyes shut, I still see the game.
And the rules don’t even think to play along.
It’s like we on the mirror’s edge, dodging bullets, whats goin on?
Over the green, the grass gotta be better,
But I’m sitting right here,
No sweater,
Writing a scarlet letter.
No matter the weather,
Whether you feeling it or not,
Iscer slinging mad flows in the winter
To make it stay hot.

First light

Literature, Poetry

Finding yourself amongst strangers.
What a way to find yourself.
What a way to be, beside yourself.
But that same self, never finds you.
That beautiful haiku -
At the breaking of first breath.
When introductions come with judgement
And different concepts.
And the smiles hold,
But the tales they speak
Are never more than skin deep.
Similiar reasons,
But always almost unique.
When the hugs and the greetings
Simply make you wonder.
They feel like thunder
When only shimmering stars are the lightning.
How much of yourself do you give
Or know,
Upon this kindling.
The trembling feeling of a new born,
The pressures of the bee swarm.
The vessels in flight
Ignite
And only grace us in one passing.
And in that moment,
What am I really asking.
You can only really ever meet somebody – a single time.
Everything after that
Is simple pre-conditioning.
Recreating imaginary thoughts
With a furnace that’s diminishing.
So with this observation,
A new dawn has found form
A new concept has been drawn
In sealed armor
When Amor should be the reason…
