On Another One ft Drake

lyrics

Just imagine what would happen if spoken word turned to rappin
Poets starting beef & niggas turning into actors
We start writing for the screams & the advances by the groupies
So concerned with being seen we lose our focus on what truth be
Girl do me, I’m famous, so now your girls can think that
You the one I write my poems about, and you just buy my drinks, bitch
What I speak about don’t matter, it ain’t even important
You don’t care about a message so let’s keep those bottles pourin’
God forbid we talk bout something other than some ego stroking
Spoken word about how dope & potent everything we spoke is
Muthafuck some thought-provoking educating & uplifting shit
If it ain’t making money you ain’t bout to make me spit it
We can pimp this like religion, make them eat up what we’re feeding
Then the people could confuse it for something they really needed
I’m so thankful this won’t happen to poetry cause I love it
Plus that doesn’t sound like poets that you know… Or does it?
