More Than Music: One, Two (poem)

I spit lethal, exciting the people

1 movie, 1 take 1 shot no sequel

You see, the Master of the universe gave me 1 chance

To put my stamp on this earth and make everyone dance

It’s sorta like 1 nation under a groove

It’s 2 bad this whole earth can’t do the same thing 2

And spread 1 love all across 1 planet

Now that’s true peace but can anyone understand it?

Or are we 2 caught up in individual needs

Cuz 2 can never eat if 1 is filled with greed

And if 1 can’t see past his own selfish ambition

Its 2 late 2 come together, 1 is only left wishing

But if everyone can teach 1 then everyone can reach 1

But if none are qualified to teach then in the end we reach none

It’s like, you could give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day

Teach that same man how to fish and he’ll feed his fam along the way

Can you dig it?! Mic check 1, 2

As long as life is in my veins I realize I can’t lose

Cause you see, 1, 2 many times I’ve quit

Now I’m 2 close for comfort got me feeling this is it

Cause what if this is my 1 chance to shine

If you know like I know, opportunity knocks but 1 time

And if that 1 time she knocks and you don’t answer

She ain’t coming back, you can call but she won’t answer

I guess it’s that whole, once bitten twice shy

And 1 is guaranteed to fall if 1 is 2 afraid 2 fly

It’s 2 soon, it’s 2 hard, it’s 2 tough, it’s 2 late

It’s 2 cold, I’m 2 tired, the task is 2 great

There’s 2 many excuses, 2 many chances lost

But for me not 2 try, that is 2 great a cost

You see, I can’t go down 2 my grave

Knowing I played it 2 safe with the 1 chance that God gave

I mean, look at music, look at anything under the sun

Even James Brown knew you got to play it on the 1

It’s 1 journey, 1 life, 1 love, 1 people

1 movie, 1 take, 1 shot no sequel

1, 2
