Fresh faded with jeans sagging in a b-boy stance with fat laces and I hope that he’s a sneaker addict

cus I just love these hip hop cats I’m an addict its a habit and I just got to have it

:) I did this in speech and debate for interp poetry and they didnt have it on any site so I had to listen and type it up myself . Hope this helps you guys out :) I don't want anyone else to have to spend that same amount of time

[chibisyoko]

@elleb567 aww ure so sweet (=

[elleb567]

arc even considered taking the mic cord and tying the not Slow it down its just a thought but

his presence in my life was impossible to not notice

and he became my music

I moved to him natural like head nod

easy like a two step and a pump fist

he became essential like a first kiss a new borns first breath a first suckle from his mothers breast but

Suddenly shit shifted

everything seemed golden but now I’m just left with a mic I’m no longer holding I’m

still not sure what brought an end to

[elleb567]

musical taste the spiritual stance and the smile I bring to his face

At first he wanted me like his favorite pen

to every rhyme and syllable in my mind and body he’d pay attention

reciting verse after verse saying we were perfection

We’d talk about life poems rhymes and spending together studio time

wanted to drink the other end till our intoxication became the new crime

I was positive this was my hit song

and he went to the top of my chart

feelings grew

never apart dynamic duo like Noah's

[elleb567]

I just took the needle off the record cross faded into silence and hoped for someone to come along that could juggle my feelings with the beat of my defeated feelings it was getting hard to believe in love but I went for round four cus I like em

fresh faded jeans sagging in a b-boy stance with fat laces and he got to be a sneaker addict

Cat four

the mc

this time at some point everybody plays a fool

and this time it was me

I fell for the tight lines the ill rhymes the peaceful grace the

[elleb567]

you salty like saltines grieving chest heaving trying to relieve your disbelieving ass till pain looks at you and get jealous and sees green Don’t fuck with me You might move the dance floor but your trifling ass aint moving me Yeah I was mad at myself for allowing a man to think he knew what was best for me that he knew me better than me mad for letting my better judgment turn to sand and slip through my fingers mistaking sex for love cus when your wounded and hurt its the dead ringer so

[elleb567]

life

the record skipped and it didn’t last long just the length of a song three rotations and I was done left the last thirty in the third for someone else’s patience son some guys get it twisted

and you gotta fade em out before that shh goes wrong

Lower the volume on your insecurities sweetie theres no need for you to know how many times I’ve taken my record for a spin

Putting your shit off on me is original sin and my name aint eve you may have some table techniques but dont be naive i leave

[elleb567]

memorized

And it comes to mind easy like my hottest line see

Im a crystal glass and

love has got to keep me full cus half empty’s just half ass to me so

I told my b-boy he just have to pass on me

Baby be my break beat hit the floor and let loose but don’t try to noose my emotions cus I gotta live in reality not the fantasy of beat street cus

I like em fresh faded jeans sagging in a b-boy stance with fat laces and he got to be a sneaker addict

Cat three

the DJ last night he didn’t save my

[elleb567]

lovers in the road splits

decisions got to be made so I decided to hit it

Got complicated

he had a girl and I was getting at the situation that’d been totally overrated

Though our mutual situations had been clearly stated from the get potential for shit to be messy met I’d have to tread lightly

And I cant have step

when it comes to matters of the heart

I treat the man in my life like they was my art

take the time to learn their bodies

let my fingertips read patches of skin till I got it

[elleb567]

recon

I got shocked so I stopped and I recon I go for a head spin

made my heart flutter fast like his foot work he’d stop mid six-step blow me a kiss and a quick smirk

I caught the breeze off his windmill and froze like a frosty windowsill damn thats ill

No stu no stu no stutter to his step

I just wanted to write his rhythm with my ink and quill I had some time to kill so I figured we chill roll a blunt take a hit he could rock a move and hear me spit

Came to that point in the path that

[elleb567]

and monogamy were foreign so

I rolled over his story with my pen

painted over his lies hopped the next train vowed to never let no one in again till I got to that stop

and met number two cus I like em

fresh faded jeans sagging in a b-boy stance with fat laces and he got to be a sneaker addict

I thought I had it with these hip hop cats but I’m addicted and I cant break the habit

Next time

I fell for the b-boy

talking smooth as his top rock he said my mind a cypher he was about to catch

[elleb567]

tear drops from unanswered calls

I just wanted to be the white wall he left his tag on

He was a burner,

leaving ashes in places spray cans me shaking em listening to the hollow clack of em Pressing the fat cap in but just getting the hiss of empty promises

It’s no wonder all he wrote was his name,

a miss nom a pseudonym cus

he’d use big words but never lived the possibility of them Say things like our devotion is revolution we’d have

marriage house and children but

concepts like honesty

[elleb567]

I like em fresh faded jeans sagging in a b-boy stance with fat laces and he got to be a sneaker addict

I thought I had it with these hip hop cats but I’m addicted and I cant break the habit

First time

I fell for the signer the street artist scriber tagger the graffiti writer

This cat had a mean streak and I don’t mean the kind you wright with

Figured he’d give me the outline of love but never filled it in with substance

I got sprung off his wide tip he leading paint drips on subway cars and

[classyassbytch]

[MaryBaBii08]

I think im in love with her lol her words just touch me like no others. i watch this shit everyday no lie. she speaks the truth. HER own truth that we all can relate to =) and if you dont have anything nice to say. dont say it. =P

[mekha19]

She's telling my story so hard. I've been all those dudes from time tot time and i needed to hear this- again. Word. Keep telling that truth.

[CamilaRox11]

or talkin bout Maya Angelou? both two of my faves! cant believe the conversations ppl have over youtube...

[CamilaRox11]

So, I thought she was Puerto Rican, you know??? Why rep Boricua if you are Afro-Cuban? Just saying...

either way..She's HOT, and on point..

[sshine23]

>camilarox11... you should probably check out "im going back"  it would clear sum stuff up for u

[CamilaRox11]

i kno where she was from..i was confused why they brought up afro cuban cuz shes puerto rican and ive seen that already..thanx tho...i was responding to wat ppl were talking about here, the comments,not the actual video.

[HeDreamzOfMe]

Well like i always say...for those who don't particularly care for someone or what they put out there...then why even bother leaving a comment...really...Anyway..i think shes tight ...i like her messages an how she gets them across...i honestly don't think she's trying to be anybody , but herself in all actuality...so...on that note...keep doing ya thing Maya...WE the majority luv what u do girl...keep goin!!!!

[aprilfromhell]

damn damn damn!

[nicolette08paige]

truely inspirational.

[Ineshia16]

She is so tight!! She's very pretty.

[CiCixXx88]

i am 20 years old and i am mature, so that remark has no intellectual significance...i may agree with you about the other person, but age does not give you wisdom, experience does. so maybe you shouldn't be prejudice towards someone because of their age

[cammicty]

I agree 100%! There is nothing sigificant or deep about her lyrics. Why she is popular I'll never know! I always say today, there is nothing deep about what she says. Nor is her voice rhythemic, but all over the place. Nothing Hip Hop about this! Let her talk about deep Latino issues, what's happening amongst her own people, and stay out of Hip Hop and trying to think she understands black inner city hip hip men (boys) !

[todyja]

You say she needs to talk about her deep Latino issues...she is Afro-Cuban! You should first check out whom you are talking about! She was talking about what SHE likes. She is referring to HER preference. You are offended, but why? She talks about the feeling of loving that b-boy and the feeling she gets when with them!

[cammicty]

I know everything about Maya, I need to know! Of course not privately, I know her not, but from research and listening to her insignificant rants. I've been to so many deep poetry readings, which actually deal with issues that are to deep for the average public, would offend them, they'd rather hear this nonsense. To think the media actually tries to compare her to Maya Angelou, what a joke! I know many ''Afro'' Cubans, I'd like you to hear their discussions, but i'd think it be 2 much 4 ya!

[cammicty]

I won't reply to any further responses to my post, as I know what I'm talking about and am 100% right, and I refuse to get in a play on play with words! Let's here stand up and rhyme about the real struggles of the AFRO CUBANS who first came to this country and how if they mirror ''Africans'' let's hear her rhyme about their still tarnish image. I'm sure you won't even get where I'm coming from, but that's O.K. ; you continue listening the her mindless babble!

[8DAB8]

i love this one with a passion!

[jmannwifey]

heyy she came to my schoool

[nbzdime]

fire alll day!

[fashoanthony]

And everytime I see her...I think: "HOW LUCKY IS THE MAN WHO HAS THE PRIVILEDGE TO KNOW HER INTIMATELY" I truly hopes he knows and appeciates that she is the FULL PACKAGE...(THE 3 B'S) BEAUTY, BRAINS & BORICUA!!!

[darryl1914]

When I read your response...I immediately went to your page...and to NO SURPRISE, you are a kid, 20 years old. Because only a "CHILD" can see the word INTIMATE and automatically think SEX!!!! When you get some MATURITY, then read my post about her poem again....then maybe you'll understand what I meant.

[darryl1914]
