  • Youtube really needs a love button, because this was too good to just like

  • I like this...I really do like this..

  • love it

  • her rhythm is perfect!

  • THE LIKES AND DISLIKE LOK LIK A BLUNT

  • that was dope

  • I orginially didnt get it, so i didnt like it,it almost went too fast, and then it grew on me to crave other pieces with the flow from subject to rhythm to meaning so well as this one, its great!

  • I love this because i know talented intelligent people who smoke . this poem says it all :)

  • Her flow is impeccable ... I swear this is one of my favorite pieces

  • Yeah.thank you ! finally someone speaks of weed in a poem <3

  • sweet flow.

  • fuck this fat bitch, i smoke and sell and im catholic. i know everyone is entitled to your own damn opinion but you just single handily smacked potheads and drug dealers in the face everywhere. i mean this in the most respectful but disgusted way, fuck you. btw get off marijuana's dick, talk shit about crack or something.

  • I have one more thing to say smoking has nothing to do with God. Well, maybe if there was actually a God and not some fairy tale guy everybody thinks is real. lol. Cracks me up that people are so gullible.LMAO. God.lol. what a load of shit.

  • @StaceyValles So u dnt believe in god ?

  • dam, after i heard this i had to post it up in my bst frnds wall... -_- she snapped

  • she right

    

  • Lovin it

  • This is dope. SO dope that the haters who dislike this made the status bar look like the perfect blunt.

  • "maybee if i lace their blunts with paper sheds of poetry, they'd get high enough to reach redemption, and maybee then they'd get closer to God".....onlyy a lyrically powerful mind can writee somethingg with such emotion and as DEEP as thiss <3 thumbss up

  • "cus time cost too much to be fly this morning .. i'm late .. as usual" i love this so much

  • @ MM4life113 yo ass is wack, wtf u mean that was gay, either your a black bastard or just simply a dumb fuck. This girl has got class and a shit load of skill. Im going to keep following her, because she's going to do great things in this world.

  • Bunch of whiny hippies

  • wow tht was gay

  • that was bomb

    

  • I liked it. wished it was longer,

  • wow. its like school. i think she just ruined weed for me. why. you bitch.

  • where can i get a copy?!

  • bravo

  • I guess the 11 people that did not like this is obviously are weed smokers

    and "corner boys"

  • Tell it like it is!!!

  • i had 2 play it twice deeeeep

  • yo thiss was fire !

  • wow that highest rated comment is pure ignorance

  • @joelledriana it's not ignorant, weed is a plant and depends on how much you use just like the amount of alcohol you intake

  • LOVE DIS

  • I'm mad all these people keep saying that just because they do the pussy shit they wont die; yet they acknowledge that if you go into heroine and cocaine you're doomed.

  • Beautiful poem and I get what she's saying. I am a weed smoker, but I occasionally toke. I think many activities (smoking weed, drinking, work, sex etc) all have potential to be escape methods. Doesn't mean if you smoke weed, you're not dealing with reality. Moderation is great, but some use excess of any one of these things to not deal with the real. I think she is speaking more to that. The chronics. I know a few that have far more potential than they realize.

  • Nice poem but DISLIKE her talkin about weed like it's bad ...it's not. Heroine & cocaine is ... beautiful poem though

    Weed love ! <3

  • Just a thought: If you people believe you should have the right to express your opinions in favor of smoking weed, then she should have the right to express her no so favorable opinion.

    If you listen she didn't really talk about physical health concerns with weed. She talked more about getting sucked in the lifestyle.

    I am down to smoke here and there, but I will never let it become what defines me. I think this is what she's trying to express, boys who don't just smoke it, it's all they have.

  • I really like this :) Those who don't like it need to listen to it again because I find this o be very truthful

  • why would people like magz303 comment... weed kill and its a bitch.

    i mean go get a shake or something :p

  • @LipsLoveSugar because guess what? a lot of people smoke weed. and it doesnt kill or is a bitch. youre just biased for some reason, hopefully a good one.

  • @DougEFresh98 haha ur funny,

    NOT.

    u may need a health class ay,

  • @LipsLoveSugar Why would I need a health class? Also, I wasn't trying to be funny. Weed DOESN'T kill, and will never. And as far as the bitch part, that's just your opinion, so I can't really say anything against that. Other than, I don't agree with it one bit.

  • @DougEFresh98.... hahaa okay then good luck... im prolly talking 2 a ficking 10 year old or just a 34 year old that lives in a fucking apt and is takeing are taxes money 2 spend on ur shitty weed..

    end of convo... dont bother 2 right bak because i aint going to read it ...

    peacE!

  • @LipsLoveSugar You say that you're probably talking to a ten year old, when you're the one that types like one. If you want to call someone a child, spell out your fucking words and use correct grammar. Ignorant ass. end of convo? Just because you say that doesn't mean you win the argument OR end the conversation.

  • @DougEFresh98 Win the argument? Is there such a thing. Most of the time all an agrument proves is that two people are present.

  • wow. she is amazing, i am an english major and i could never put words together like that! what an amazing gift she has.

  • This is hot!! I wish I was there to hear the lyrics

  • Hey hey hey smoke weed everyday!

  • do you fell better . no to xxx . we are relax sorry sr.

  • You speak it! and to all those that think its cool, or fun, well your nothing more then children, one day you may grow up. But probably not, and for this i cry for you and i cry for your mothers and those who love you, because you dont have the dignity to do it for yourself. You cant humble yourself, and when you try to..by the time you actually try to it will be too late.

  • Hey everyone, here is a chatroom where young artists can express themnselves share their work, and discuss their opinions. tinychat. com/justice4artists

  • if this was about tabacco.... more respect

  • i<3 dys poem

  • my friend once said "my life is so important to me i risk cancer to calm me down" [reference obviously about weed]. shes awesome, but people are gonna smoke the shit anyway.

  • She has alot of talent and I really think that She is going somewhere/ She is very good. Thanks for putting this on here .

  • AMAZING...Simply amazing.

  • Wow.

  • I love the way she just kind of cuts off, perfect for this kind of poem. Leaves you wanting more, striving to remember every last word she said, and that's what a poem should do. Make you wanna hear it again, think about it, cry over it, make you FEEL SOMETHING. "crushing bud like the dreams people said were too big for them" utter brilliance.

  • shit this gave me goosebumps

  • The original poem is like 4 minutes long

  • @Datdude513 i got that feeling

  • 2 short it kinda leaves me wanting more

  • Ehhh It Was Alrite ; "That Girl" Wass So Much Better *

  • Woow!!

  • watch my videos i have a poem up and im headed to put up more

    please give me constructive criticism. help a young aspiring artist

  • Her ending was so dynamic. Critical

  • ayyy i love bud

  • she was tuff .

  • 5 stars..

  • OMG that was beautiful!!!!!!

  • wow. . .

  • I just got chills

  • oh lord, that was several flavors of deep cutting.

  • deep

  • damn...joint was on point

  • haha magz i feel you

  • she murdered it say no more

  • If you liked this poem then you will LOVE my new poem Living Proof! Just go to my page or type "manez1234 living proof" into the search bar and prepare to be moved by some of the hardest spoken word on youtube!

  • she is hella good but imma still smoke weed...

  • @Magz303 hell yeah shyt weed aint killed my dreams so ima keep on smoking and weed inspires alot of us come on look at pac greatest rapper alive.....i bet you she smoked right after that

  • @Magz303

    lol rightttt.....

  • @Magz303 wow, then that was for nothing

  • @Magz303 thats pathetic grow up and do something with your life

  • @devildog3535 just because you smoke weed that doesn't mean you are worthless. You would be surprised by how many superstars, politicans,and people that you look up smoke weed. Smoking weed does not define a person's character.

  • @Magz303 lol meh too.

  • @Magz303 LOOOOOOOOOOL

  • @Magz303 LOLOLOLOL!!

  • @Magz303 lmao me too..

  • @Magz303

    cosign lol

  • @Magz303 why?

  • @Magz303 lol too funny but i pray that you stop

  • @msgospel2010 ha i pray that people who pray for weed to be gone can see tht weed is the most useful plant on this earth shit fuckin benjamin franklin and washington smoked weed and wrote the constitution on that biiiaaaatch!

  • @Magz303 because benjamin franklin and washington smoked weed that means its useful? they also had slaves does that mean that we should do that too? You're finding excuses like i used to back when i was foolish and ignorant. I told myself it wasnt bad until i tried to run a mile and i couldnt get halfway across the damn track...maybe u should think about what you say, due to the fact its making you look ignorant from all the damn brain cells youve prolly smoked out ya head.

  • @crimsonkiss420 U compared WEED to fuckin SLAVES ur an idiot.....i wont even bother fighting with a dumbass dod u really compare weed to slaves??? really? WOW

  • @Magz303 lmao

  • @Magz303 LMFAO ! Right !!?!!!??!

  • @Magz303 xD u imbecilic fool i wasnt comparing weed to slaves, it was only an analogy to prove your ignorance and the fact that it slipped right through ur smoked up mind proves me only to be truthful. Your sad, its ok i was too at one point in time. Youll figure this out eventually, no offence

  • @crimsonkiss420 Why did u use "i" are u the speaker from the video? And how can you call him an "imbecilic fool" and then say "no offence" ? OF COURSE he would get offended... poetry is about freedom of speech and voicing the soul. He has the right to his opinion AND he complimented you. This makes your speech look bad because of your character.... =/

  • @sooooooooosexyphilly I called him an imbecilic fool because clearly he called me an idiot if u read the comment at all you would understand the conversation, now apparently some1 only read one side

  • @sooooooooosexyphilly I called him an imbecilic fool because clearly he called me an idiot if u read the comment at all you would understand the conversation, now apparently some1 only read one side. And i said i because i was comparing him to my past being obviously, and i said no offence because i clearly didnt mean to make him look stupid because he was doing a good enough job himself. and how was he complimenting me? by calling me an idiot, and using profanity to prove his point? obviously..

  • @crimsonkiss420 Why argue with him? Still he's entitled to his opinion!!! No matter who's wrong or right, let it be what it is. You cannot change a person's opinion. And keep the condescending tone for your poetry, trust me you meant to make him look stupid because if not you wouldnt have said "he was doing a good job himself." ^.^

  • @crimsonkiss420 fuck i smoke weed i live weed i rap weed I AM WEED and anyone who says it isnt gods plant i say go to hell bc its a beautiful thing in the right hands thts what im saying....FUCK YOU WITH A LIT CUBAN CIGAR FILLED WITH WEED...IN THE ASSHOLE...FUCK HBO

  • @Magz303 lmmfaoooooo

    

  • @Magz303 damn right... maybe if she needs a blunt and realize its not that serious people smoke all day everyday and have great paying careers. Damn I never thought when I rolled one... it could be put so poeticly.lol. And I'm not always late.lol.

  • @StaceyValles haha riiight

  • @StaceyValles Their are thousands of individuals who smoke more than they do anything else. They don't have jobs, they don't go to school but they remeber to wake and bake every single morning afternoon and night. Those are the individuals shes talking about

  • @XaldinX Yeah... but there is millions of people out there that smoke and have jobs. If the person doesn't have a job and doesn't go to school it's not because they smoke.The problem is the individual because there is people out there that don't smoke and don't go to school or have a job. Just bc people remember to smoke doesn't mean that if they didn't smoke they would go to school/job. I hate how tv, media, and soceity make it seem that people are not productive because they smoke weed!!

  • @XaldinX so that was completely irrevelant. These people aren't bums because they smoke. They are bums because of their own individual choice. So this poem was like stereo typing everybody who smokes weed. And it is completely wrong. If she wanted to talk about these people she should say these people are no good cause their thugs not because of weed. Smoking weed is no excuse for not having a job. So she should right a poem about me smoking graduating college with honors and a very high paying>

  • @XaldinX > job. So her poem would be realistic instead of preaching that these people are thugs and have troubles bc of pot. Because more people smoke and carry careers then media makes it seem.

  • @StaceyValles Sorry to cut in on the convo, but the poet never said that they're bums because they smoke. "...Crushing bud like dreams they were told were too big for them so they pull." She's saying they smoke because they're "bums" or rather, they get high to forget. It's not a "don't smoke weed" campaign; she's just telling a story.

    Otherwise, it's really presumptuous to say what she should and shouldn't write about. It's not her job to make sure people know that you're a successful smoker.

  • @citrinestone ha ha thanks for the comment! :) I just like whatever about it... great poet... I've leave it like that! lol :)

  • @Magz303 if you wanna die go ahead

  • pray for better thoughts.

  • Listen to Already Home by Jay-Z ft Kid Cudi then listen to how he says Already, NOT Kid Cudi, Jay-z. Who does that remind to of? ^_^

  • She sounds like the kid that with the poem "Change", thats not a bad thing at all I like how they read their poems.

  • wow! pure. she provides such a visual, amazing

  • Yes dats her and she wrote dat abortion poem She is really good i look up too her

  • no this is not.

  • Is this the girl that did the poem "I cried like I was his daughter" ?( don't no if thats the real name )

  • PEACE SISTER I LOVE

  • I SEEN HER LIVE ! SHE'S AWSOME !

  • i literally have goosebumps

  • was this poem really 1:36? or did HBO cut any of it?

  • This really was 1:36... she needed a short poem for the minute round of the Urban Word NYC slam in order to make the team

  • omg omg omg omg this is so so so awsome u betta speak it...

  • she is only 15 and she's better than some poets i've heard that are grown folks

  • u sure she 15 ? i cudda sworn she sed 17 !

  • 16 now.(this was filmed a year ago.)

  • i love the end

    "they were the lords of my block and for them that was godly enough." that was my part.

  • deeepp

  • yeap thats what i try to tell my sister she says 'this not poetry ' you now i looked at her like she was crazy i said then what is it she couldnt say much but i said you really got to take what there sayin

  • This poem is deep. I am having a problem making out what she says from, "They are artists, tongues painting backwards, wet with saliva rolling..." to "From thin air, they create clouds of dark smoke billowing up from blackened lips; my lungs cannot take it, but they are grown men, so they inhale deeply."

    Does anyone know?

  • rolling L's to later be passed in the cypher

  • rolling L's to later be passed in the cypher they are magicians.

    I think that is what she says.

    Mad poetry skills eh?

  • This was phenominal.....long live spoken word...

  • as a weed smoker myself...job well done lady :)

  • 15!? makes no sense.

  • DANNNG! *speechless*

  • Brilliant, words just cascade off her tongue. Loved it.

  • This girl is amazing and it's ok not to like spoken word just realize that behind the art form is a person. they are PEOPLE and they are doing good things you should support the peace. And you dont have to like it but obviously many people do!!! Dont worry about the people that hate....thats their job. Just enjoy the ones that love the work!!!

  • truth

  • Read up about spoken word.

    Then maybe you all wouldn't be hating so much.

  • i watch thise every sunday

  • shut the hell up..then y are u watchin it now?

  • Dope. Atta be.

  • Great & Amazing. (:
