Overrated, Who?

Overrated and under appreciated
complicated with palms sedated
freedom, never been emancipated
who's feeling Romney's sodomy of the country's industries, it's fading quick
hair club for men president, nah man i 'tu-payed' it
atomic particles breaks down your so-called violent molecules,chump kick bricks
related to grafiti writing like Ramo, i sprayed stiffs
can't stand Toys like Spit who raided
holding on ya'll, Broadways calling, they're 'bout to parade this
my subjects play this, now is time to return to my play list
open the gates to a staged hit
make ends meet with the help of counterfeit
sprinkling sage over misfits, bet Santa would be proud of this
on the grandstand with loot in hand licking my lips
talking BAD like LL and Mike Jack, i'm all over you pricks
the bald headed monk keeps a Kirk pick
posting up b-boy style( hard )like jail flicks
landing outlandish lyrics so get ready to boggie boy like Turbo's twist

I’m hard-boiled at the seams
Reams and reams of psycho-fiends
I use a blow-dryer to dry bean
C’mon chumps…it’s time to clean
When the timer starts, you point your glock
My reflexes are nice—I’ll restart your clock
Say what you want, (I’ll smirk and stare)
Maybe you hate me (should I care?)
I’m a grown kid with a twist that’s new
I shoot darts of wisdom-glue
It comes from me and sticks to you
See what you’re going through?
Tunnels of confusion
Your blood sugar’s low—here’s a spit-transfusion
My elbow strikes are causing contusions
The strain in your spine is diffusion
You’re coughing up your lungs
With nasty pus on your tongue
You have dirt in your mouth
You’re on the bottom rung
Watch my grammar fall off…
Look what I ‘brung’…

I spit with an immense amount of power
that brings out the cold showers
I’ll make the undefeated who thinks they can spit, cower
in the shadows of my demise
I mutate your truth into my lies
unaware of situations with stealth that call for compromise
insults that are so compliant
with struggles of human’s defiant
misconceptions of your perception
you squint your eyes in my gleaming transcendence
give up, you’re a worthless muse
and you’ve misunderstood, innocently confused
how can I not feel sorry for you?
You’re like an ant swimming in the booze
of a steadily filling vodka pool
and you can’t even tell the difference
cause the acid in my spit is twisted
and I’ll manipulate you in my provisional
primary election
for the princess of passion’s confession

and if it's a confession they need
then stand back and pay heed
to the words of the Swan...
yeah, I got you screaming go on!,  go on!
don't come 'round here shooting  off at the mouth
cause you not at all safe, I'll come up from the south
just to address the clowns that's constantly hated
the fact that we hot, and our bloodlines related
there's an opinion that we are just over-rated
well I'm not surprised, the look in your eyes
they spell out depise...and exposes your calamity
and you needed a way just to maintain your sanity!
I'm not fronting fool raise up!
and  see if you stand up to the man in me
cause the truth is  the truth and once it is spoken
your life would be 'FI-NEETO' over and broken!
and without real meaning, if we didn't  continually feed you...the fruit from our 'POET-TREE' me
N' you see that what  it bears is 'FLOETRY'
so just take this advice, n' keep it in mind
don't  give into the hype seek n' you'll find
that we aren't OVERATED...we can't help it
that our words leave you ,oh so elated!   
 
Made it we did, full force from within,
your on your knees praying our words will bless your sins
You think its over rated what we bring to our selection?
Yet you yearn to be a candidate in Swine’s primary election?
We’ll hop scotch over your opinions and watch your intellect trip
Leaving you tangled in our skill as these poet’s verses flip 
Knock you over the head with the rhymes we display
Watch verbs and nouns ricochet of what you were going to say     
We’ll bribe your knowledge and put all your opinions to sleep
Inject your dreams with the candy coated words that we speak
Hospitalize your speech from “over rated” exhaustion
Cause all your lyrics to undergo a poetic abortion.........

They say we’re overrated but the truth is that we’re underestimated
So we congregated on this page to leave them decimated
Love it or hate it they took the hook that we baited
Now we’re reeling them in with the wise wordz that we stated
This is our time, our show, and our rhyme
We spent our last dime to let them know how we shine
We’re sublime and people took nuggets from our gold mine
But we slow grind and create new treasures for their mind
We’re innovative, charismatic individuals
Where there is static we release the residuals
Apply the pressure to create diamonds in the rough
And we won’t stop until simon says that’s enough
to all the people who said that we are overrated
we thank you for helping us become elevated

    To all visitors:

    love the feed back that all has filed. let's see...Overrated, yeah, you can say...or rather some may say or even believe 'we' are overrated. Or some may believe or think that them, htemsleves maybe considered overrated...whichever comes first or last, it is up to the indiviual reader to grasp that understanding from that in which he/she reads. (damn---what did i say?!) lol. You're only over rated if you have less belief in yourself. Thanks for all the feed back! BTW: I love this piece! one of my favs! (WiseWithWordz)

    Awesome rhyme flow. The six of you must be pretty tight to keep the piece as tight as this. Well done. I can see this piece being performed onstage.

      Thanks a lot. We have written together for several months now. All of it is spontaneous and builds off of what came before it. We never plan it; we get on AP, find a new posting and add to it ASAP (lol). It's been working so far. I appreciate your candid observations. Will visit your site soon (God-willing).

      together and create this magic! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece, and from all of us again we thank you!

    So I get stuck with this piece. Someone who has no background for it. I'm not going to rhyme my response, (though I could) and that might seem reader freindly. That would be me faking my real response. Not going there. Continually, the overated arguement persisted. My problem is that I don't know what the writer or its subject persona is overated at? I read the entire piece and am impressed beyond your imagination, but do not know if someone is being told they are overated, or that is implied by the political machine, what is the exact accusation? If not overated, that alone implies that the uninformed or outsider must be appraised of something. So this becomes an 'insider' piece. I don't won't it to be so. I wanted in. RC

      ha.ha.ha. (lol). Thank you very much for this incredibly insightful comment. I need to say that this particular piece is (as you seem to be aware?) a 6-person (spontaneous) collaboration (of mind/subject). We've done (most of us on this collab.) over 20 such pieces. They are initiated by anyone of us and in a 'collaborator-friendly' invite/style. That's to say, whoever starts it, the others 'spin' off of it. So, as far as who, what (or what subject) is being referenced as "Overrated"...ha.ha. It's sort of "insider". In the sense that this type of style (when we utilize it) is what we affectionately call "Urban Brag". It's old-fashioned 'word-play'/concept-play (tag). Supposing (as it does here) taht there's a 'speaker' (or audience) who thinks the author(s) think too much of themselves (due to not 'getting' our friendly verbal 'horseplay'). This is my response to your comments. The other writer's may have other opinions/thoughts that differ from mine though. Thanks again for your fantastic feedback/inquiry.

      Thanks a lot for the read/review. Glad you love this flow. This is included in our 20+ collaborations. We write together from out of over 4 different states (and that might mean more than geography here...lol). Just kidding... Your comments are more than "Less" (lol).
