The way I walk, the way I move
like I'm goin to war, a soldier relaxed in his groove
I'm smoothe
suave
hey what can I say,...
That's jus ma style.
Ma voice, ma talk, The way I speak,
slipping from slang to speakin properly
or speaking in slang intelligiently
like an expert in ebonics and linguistics
you wont miss it see?
I put it all in ma poetry
so you know its me
I'm like a classical masterpiece,
freelanced to a hip hop beat.
Smooth, mentally arousing,
I am Jazz, I am gospel, I am r&b
Hardcore Rock when I wanna be
its all in ma poetry
it's all in me
That's jus ma style.
I am the descending runs within the musical, soulful voice of a black sistah
smoothe, distinct in every note, sexy to the ears, soothing to the listener
entertaining to the reader
I am ma style, and ma style is me
I'm like the many different rocks in the sidewalk concrete,
unchangeable,
I'm like quicksand, I go deeper, and deeper, and I pull you in with me
deeper if you resist me.
That's jus ma style you see.
