The Witty Wordsmith
Playing with words but…
Note: I was motivated to create this offering after listening to OCTAVIA EVER AFTER’s newly released song, Gas Me Up. When we share our offerings they will motivate others to get started or to keep going.
If I never write another word, the words I have written will live forever.-Henery X

I’m one, the mic is two, and three is the charm,
Overstand I’m only here to do your bank account harm.
And that’s indirectly,
Unless you disrespect me directly.

Then all bets are off you and on me,
See,
The people know my performance will be murder in the first degree.
In other words, premeditated,
I leave self-proclaimed competition feeling like they’re heavily medicated.
Their words,
Are slurred,
So their verses swerve,
At the learning curve,
The nerve,
Of these fraudulent nerds.
Don’t they know that I’m the king,
Of the slang I sling,
I nightmare the wildest dream,
With the brand of creativity I bring.
I don’t grandstand, I just stand grand,
Every time I put the mic in my hand,
And that’s on local or foreign land.
Catch up, because I’m not slowing down,
I move like it’s the final round,
And the formality has finally said something so profound.
That’s the fuel for my fire,
That has me eager to take the craft someplace higher.
So high that you can’t climb, you’ll need to float,
I’m a god, fuck a goat,
Now you can’t tell me that ain’t one helluva quote,
If you didn’t know, I’m the only child of that’s all she wrote,
And I was raised to extinguish all the smoke,
So I’m the wrong one to provoke,
Because I ensure you go from rich to broke,
And have you forever regretting this day you opened your mouth and spoke.
I thank you in advance for reading my words. I pray that this shared offering will motivate you in some shape, form or fashion. Sharing isn’t so others will emulate, but so they’ll desire to share their own offerings. Sometimes all it takes is for others to see someone has done something for them to do something as well.
May we never lose our desire to outdo what we’ve already done.-Henery X
