Lyrics

In the beginning all poets were illiterate Our elementary public school aint teach no grammar Thank God the universe dont abide by NYC zipcode zones And poverty lines In the beginning all poets were illiterate On clear nights I'd write under the gray glow of a one eyed black cat My wack ass teacher warned me to just write, the moon Our elementary public school thrived Making sure born writers remained wild Brutal fist fights with muses produced big banged bursting poems Full of blood, salt, and mucus The words had to get out Like music or violence Possession dont ask permission One way or another these muthafucking words got out We never called our elementary public school, grammar school Cause it aint teach no grammar Kids got all the way through high school and aint never heard of no Oxford comma That's some rich people shit Chop the legs off little girls and boys chasing destinies of creating poetry Since the age of four Fence birds from flight, flowers from full bloom but the raven or the rose Gonna do what it do We literary convicts, don't give a fuck, spit wrong language, make it up Fire it off flaming hot tongues, words that sprout tastebuds on bones Spicy Feel it in your whole body Only to be copied, un cited And our lawless words, that sing swinging first, that don't ask permission That Richter when spoken, that slap pass the margins Wont be awarded no honors Goddamn gatekeepers
