Shorty Heights

Holy cow I guess I wasn’t ready then because I’m ready now Know sanitation’s tired of sweeping up confetti piles But I’ll keep winning anyhow What’s just above the brow, behind the sternum Be the stern and be the bow The ticker and the thinker The heart and mind The hook the line and sinker We’re gonna need a bigger boat And bigger reel This being the realest thing I ever wrote Whatever titling is codе For greatest story that was evеr told My baby nice wit beans and overnight she let em soak I float through lucid dreams and don’t point out that I’m from Queens ‘cause that’s a trope I rather death before dishonor And lather up with Dr. Bronner’s soap Head of steam and spreading semen But as seen through a kaleidoscope My superpower is my senses Aren’t boggled down by needing a consensus Matter’s not a matter that requires my attention Minimalist propensities Necessity’s the mother of invention And out for self until ascension The road to hell is paved with good intentions My offer includes compensation complete with a pension For full cooperation and total attention As far as crossing bridges I haven’t arrived at I never tried that So nevermind that The act of decision is exquisite No rule of thumb or any other digit I leave it to the instant ‘cause I seldom could predict if I could dig it Instinct’ll kick in, and start insisting “that’s the ticket” and i listen By definition every flip is different This is even when the coin’s in mint condition Every time I trip and fall I could see a clearer picture in my crystal ball I went from cat that used to play the wall to now I know the mating call for every creature great and small That’s what I call evolved and not a hand that was supposedly a paw Turns out every strength was something I was certain was a flaw And all from tryna walk ‘fore learning how to crawl Rain soaked If you don’t know me by now then we in the same boat For the record like I’s Usain Bolt It ain’t the same as stayin woke Nope I’m an artist not an entertainer My brain is a receiver not a generator I even helped a lady by delivering her baby in a broken elevator Later
