If I could yap, clap,
And trap like that,
I wouldn’t nap, snap,
Or rap like that.
I’m a loner
With inspiration.
The haters stop
My inspiration.
When they judge me
For a tin foil hat,
I’m animal fat
In a straw hat.
I’m slapped
Into second degree burns.
If I get disrespected,
It burns.
Poised on making a living,
They take.
They laugh, but before they laugh,
They take.
Take doesn’t rhyme with take;
That’s take two.
The fun can be
Like I’m twenty-two.
Here’s criticism
And bullying.
I’m vigilant,
But they’re bullying.
Why expect me
To respond to hate?
Diss me and more people
Will learn hate.
I hate your face, your clothes,
And your heart.
I hate the steps you take
With your heart.
How I hate your family
And friends,
You would mock me
If I had no friends.
I’m not going
To hate you again.
If you kill me,
Then I’m born again.
I only have one life,
So get lost
Or get saved,
But most people are lost.
Where are my friends
Going if I fail?
They’ll inhale and exhale
While I fail.
They’ll mate with the naysayers
And cheer.
Get off my leg
And maybe I’ll cheer.
Not all of my friends
May act like such.
If you’re cool,
You may remain as such.
After high school
Can come rock bottom.
Are you born
With a female bottom?
Do you want to speak up
When they laugh?
The cops may beat your partner;
They’ll laugh.
They’ll rap about
That on camera.
They want you
To hate on camera.
“What are you going to do,”
But stare?
If I had a bomb,
I wouldn’t stare.
One day, the laughter
Comes back at you.
If not in this life,
It comes for you.
