The art of the act

This is a piece about knowing exactly who you are according to God's word and standing firm.


I am perspicacious
Please don't ask me to break it down
By doing so, you take me down
Force me to contradict 
What I believe is Strict-ly
Extremely and Randomly
AWSOMEly fabulous!!!!!!!!
If only the life course were so obvious
And all we had to do was follow the yellow brick road

I wonder why it has to be so complicated
Easily misintepreted
Now these words are making my mind so constipated
Times I wish I had verbal diarrhoea 
Then maybe these words could just write themselves
That's how these rappers extraodinaire
Write their lyrics and call themselves so debonair
Then we praise em and comment on their swag
They know we love it as we put their cds in the bag
Fall in love with their money
And let them taste you and call you honey
But when they are done wit you, there goes the money
And no more baby or honey
Your just that whore from las nyt, 
Can't even remember your name
They call it the price of fame
Let you lose yourself just so they remember your name
But there is no guarantee to this fame
So they still dont bother to remember your name......

But that's just how it is 
Coz that's how we let it be
We give them free reign 
Oblivious to how wrong it truly be
Explicitly lewd lyrics are so cool
That's what everybody talks about at school
Parents having double standards as they raise their kids
......Do as i say but not as i do.....
Punish them for drinkin and yet it was your bottle
That's just dark and twisted

Once questionable habits no longer questioned
So accepted they are so easily mentioned
Do wateva you want and you won't be questioned
That's how we live, that's how we get mentioned
We like what's on tv and only ask one question
How do I be like them???
So ready to break down the brick walls that guard your soul
So ready to let it lose shape so you can remould it
So ready to become what you saw on that flat screen
But you forget it wasn't real, that's just a show
You walk around and flaunt it till you become the show
You lose yourself and you also lose your flow
It takes a while for the consequences to truly show
After a while you slowly realise that just below the glow
Your just a broken down fake nobody that no-one wants
No turnin back, times up, it's time to see what you've become
HE sees you're a disappoinment so you get thrown
You wonder how you could have known
You remember your untouched bible is how you should have known
But the damage is already done
You've used your life but you only get one
Back to the present, you still have some time
Declare yourself, declare who you'll become........

I AM PERSPICACIOUS BUT I REFUSE TO BE BROKEN DOWN
