Break the chain escape the pain
kill all opposition that replays shame
like street avatars invoking ghetto elements
remixing my thoughts swaying my destiny,
I’ll control my own development
Shadow skilled like a deadly shinobi
I’ll quickly cut through the dark.
inertia won’t even feel me.
So break this chain and then run away
from bitter days and introverted ways
There is prophecy in these words
the verses of love,
aerial visions of the streets from above
dreams will be achieved
of impossible things
when these chains break
the rest of this song I will someday sing.

A very thoughtful piece of beat to depth, with some truly poignant imagery throughout. Nicely done!
[["own my development" = my own ?]]

this was pretty cool...there's something very dark and summery about this poem, it reminds me of what a overpopulated, dirty city might say if asked of it's inhabitants...i suppose everyone and everything has a poem to recite...
great job
