Mic Check, One Two

Pen sharp, cuttin’ paper, origami folds

Pockets heavy, but my dreams weighin’ gold

Corner store prophet, spit wisdom in the cold

Heart froze, still cookin’ truth on the stove

Memory lane got potholes, dodgin’ ghosts

Streetlights flicker, shadows do the most

Hunger pangs louder than a subway toast

But the grind never stops, man, that's the oath

Mic check, one two, can you feel me now?

Words hit harder than a thundercloud

Mic check, one two, I’mma make it loud

Echo through the streets, I wear it proud

Concrete jungle, vines wrapped ‘round my kicks

Dodgin' snakes in the grass, hear the hiss and the click

Every block got a story, some tragic, some slick

Paint the picture with my words, make the moment stick

Breathin’ in the city air, it’s gritty but sweet

Drums bang like my heartbeat, no defeat

Turn pain into poetry, fuel the heat

Turn tables spin the struggle, keep it on repeat

Mic check, one two, can you feel me now?

Words hit harder than a thundercloud

Mic check, one two, I’mma make it loud

Echo through the streets, I wear it proud
