What is your Identity
Everybody wants a chain before they get a name. Society doesn't want standouts that’s why they train everybody the same. If you're not trying to be yourself then your identity is lame. I'm going for that Malcolm or Martin status, yea I'm aiming for change. Can't fall prey to following so my imagination is always expanding its range. The thoughts are rangeless because the words are protein for my brain. You can't fear ambition because your success can't be tamed. I write for the love but my words express themselves for the fame. I won't change for the moment to appease the pain, pushing the envelope because adversity heals the strain. Bad manners persona since the effects of the truth is untrained. They want us to perpetrate our persona and have us embellish elaborate fabrication to make them change. They don't want artists to have differences since the industry fears change because it might diminish their change. Endless potential, uncapped mental, greatness is always in range. As artists we have to be outta of the box, you need to be married to your originality. You can't allow your creativity to be constrained. Is the fear coming for the words or is the message that this piece contains. You can dress me up any way you want but my message and my concepts will always remain. How can you contain a lion when the artistic canvas is his domain. Its a rage against normalcy and conformity, can't let the allure of money allow your uniqueness to be tamed. Never allow them to classify you and another artist as the same. You can't box me in. Invited myself to the party, I was never trying to fit in. Being yourself is the key and use it to walk right in because these rerun, style hitchhikers are running into a dead end. How do you expect an artist to be free when you want another man to be me. The industry doesn't get that another person's eyes can't express what your heart sees. They wanna dumb down the wise man instead of letting his artwork allow the blind people to see. The executives are creative rejects and a bunch of artists wannabes. I’m going to be myself, who are you going to be. Are you an artist or a creative impostor? Too many carbon copy flunkies, gassed up persona which turn into an over-hyped junkies. Art is the voice of the people, no wonder there's stipulations on freedom of speech because if artists freely speak then they'll reveal the corruption in the system. I’m going to speak freely because that's the artist in me. Are you going to stay boxed in and let your fears be free? I don't do it for the glory. Is it fiction or true story? Are my transcriptions a hopeless man's prescription? Hmmm is this my imagination or my mind's depiction. There's too many felicities that blurs reality and non fiction. Commonality can be deadly because without a different point of view, then how would you invoke change. Black on black interior on a $80,000 vehicle but I'm not talking about the keys to the range. I’m talking about four years of college was the vehicle that gave me the keys to my brain. I know you're not being yourself, in your eyes I can see the pain. You're posing for the money but everyone knows being an impostor becomes such a strain. Hiding from yourself so you're cloudy on the truth and then your lies bring the rain. Precipitation is the feeling but who ever knew water could bring some much pain. Even though, its water under the bridge the fact that you're boxed in still remains. Free your mind as a person and your artwork can't be contained. Be true to yourself because living as a poser delays and intensify the pain. Create from your soul and your creativity will never be tamed. I'm going to be me and you should do the same. Don't start playing if you don't plan to effect the game. Stop trying to fit it in, carbon copyism is lame. I don't know about y'all but I'm aiming for the hall of fame.
