 At the opening, I told you that my name is PDVNCH, Even in an ‘Open mic’, they’re witnessing a ‘main event’, stepping out, with style, then, closing my coffin ⚰️ on stage, WD-forty, for the broken hinge, that means, the win, in past tense, for D/

 

Beaded the laces, I don’t tie my shoes 👟, I tie dye🌈 , my shoes 👟, my Soles, echo, echo, my spirit, He’s so materialistic, I ain’t going to stop shining 💡, When you came from the dirt, under pressure, out of here, I’m a polish, and rock this diamond 💎/

 

Talking about you’re as real, as me, I’m more unique, you just have more diss-ability,

They tried to down play me, no dumbing down, the intellectual, I don’t get high, I blow shotguns, and let the weapons, smoke 💨/

 

Straight Shots, followed by Ganja chasers, Allah À la Akbar, Every line hit, leave them with shocked 😳 shockras, JFK, blow their minds, every time, I say it, Kobane, when I sing it/

I mean, one, two, three, fo-sace, GPS, add dress, to the cars 🚘, models, runway,       throttle homey/

 

That’s a close budget, I mean a clothes budget, apartment is my armoire, old soul,

I’m so eighties, and speak easy twenties, I mean, I sow eighteen, and reaped in the twenties/

 

Back in the day, we used to play forts, now they’re playing Fortnite, I used to hustle all day, now they’re taking shorts, nights, Overseer says, “back to work”, whip crack a smile, a little eyelash and a smirk 😏/

 

Pockets heavy, from hustling, no need to sag, Nickel bags 💼, the size of duffle bags 💼, You’re nothing like me, there’s too much, I do, do, When I’m number one, you still trying to, Do-do/

Pursuing the path of Purpose, Spirit of a Perseverer, Pacer, over pacing, Shin splints, from Practicing Patience, Patient Zero, Crooked, I’ve been that way, straight, I don’t bend, that way/

 

Yeah, I intentionally, offend the weak, My speech is priceless, no bounty on the beads,

My pen 🖊, is too expensive, talk is cheap, Whispers from the eaves, Three wishes, 

OGenie 🧞‍♀️, me/

 

I, is him, the kid, that they said, couldn’t do it, and did, made cakes 🎂, from crumbs, and took mistakes, and changed in the elevator, haters, love to blame, the metamorphosis, Plethora S-MAN, is PDVNCH/
