PDVNCH is a spiritual man, Who was created to be creative, Inspire inspiration,
Being on purpose, is his plan, Poetic expansion, I am walking 🚶🏾 art 🖼, Complex Collage, Museum in my armoire/
Techie 👨🏾💻 and Trekkie 🚀, Vulcan 🖖🏾 , grip, To Klingon, to the baton, To infinity ♾ and beyond, Used to smoke 💨 heavy, and buzz, light, years, My peers/
I text about my actions, yes, I Act and text, They just text about being an ‘activist’, they already failed the protest, I realized, I passed the breathalyzer, only for them to take my last breath/
I passed the bar, I’m lapping 🏃🏾♂️ my past, like I’m back from the future, unwrapping my present 🎁 best, The gift 🎁, Still fresh, poet in the rapper/
S2
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Old school 🏫, on the Avenue kid, Blocked shots, bulletproof vest on the hanger, Shoot, I was in the alley hooping, Back against the brick 🧱 wall, pulpit, I mean, I was in the alley hooping/
I do cartwheels 🤸🏽♀️, in your wheelhouse, I mix in, wear out fits, I see no box 📦, All eyes on me, I’m the one to watch, I’m big in the nineties, I’m way too Pac/
Practicing patience, with the Weight, of the world 🌎, that’s sick 😷, pandemic patients, I offer the Cure, capital C, The vac’ is supposed to suck, Only to track, and use you like a household tool/
My passport’s International, My signal is global, I try angles, Chairman of four boards, Square, Office is oval, Lithium ion, you know what I on, while they were sleeping, they dreamt that I yawned🥱/
S3
Yes, I check her, My queen of hearts 💕, beats in my Chess ♟, Though I am not a game, My name is X, No box 📦, contains, I am the opposite of normal, Estranged from strange/
They struggle and strangle themselves, trying to explain, I am the manifestation of the contradiction, if I could die, you would have to live with, Ask Emenem, There’s two different Kim’s, Me, Ra, you lil’, small pox Pilgrims, big difference/
You can tell, Real men, wear that mantel, If you don’t know my name, Then I don’t know you, Yeah you raped me, yet I don’t owe you, That’s an old lie, yet it’s so true/
You know how haters talk, a bunch of gossip and rumors, I am royalty, prince, call me King junior, High school 🏫 clothes, in my closet, They’re just jealous, because my hair matches, I used to sleep 🛏 on an air mattress/
S4
Chase the spark ⚡️ until the flame 🔥 catches, Fifty shades lighter, dark Rhymes from sixth grade, hidden under my tongue 👅 was the razor 🪒 , never shaved, pinky-nail, sharp as a switchblade, If I thought 💭 it, I Meant, to say it, They Genealogy, I mean, I’ve got a mean philosophy, I’m the distinction between wishful thinking 💭 and genie 🧞♂️ ology/
The content of my character, is my caliber, When you Address how I dress, And you view me as too loud, and I mute 🤐 you, by my protest in silence, My lifestyle, is my response, Period ⚫️, They fear that they can no longer write and speak my narrative/
Promise, the Creator’s covenant, rainbow 🌈, Mantle, Joseph’s coat 🧥 of many colors 🌈, So, you know, I stay Coogi, down to the socks 🧦, Passion 4 Phashion-ista, My brothers and sisters and friends, Human, Respect ✊🏾, equal treatment/
I’m about my Father’s business, doing your job, is Between you and God, Flavor of the Creator, Check my background, Artiste 👨🏾🎤, Transparent, My favorite color, The rainbow 🌈, inside out spirit, That’s why I wear it/
