Spitting Rhymes

I'm surrounded by mysticism

Ineluctable witticisms

Indelible bruises of criticism

All seen through this opaque prism

That's not just Rose tinted, it occludes my vision

But I treat these false sayers with utmost derision

And in unspoken prayers I bring an inescapable nuclear fission

Of explosive words that seal my mission

On this earth, with laser precision

So if you can't stand my heat, you best get out my kitchen

Before I leave you sitting on the floor, twitching

Smitten by the knowledge I'm spitting

Dark rhyming style that'll leave you bitten

Don't search out God cause you know it's written

My wordplay casts out demons like an exorcism

And has the world in rapture like when Jesus was risen

Listen

These lyrics hypnotise like a serpent hissing

And whilst you're out there selfie pose kissing

Insta look hooked and attention fishing

I'm blissing

Out

On this gift I've been given

Scholar's mind and a soul that's driven
