I think this is amazing.

What defines art, really? It's expressing yourself. It's not "making beautiful poems.  Art is not "Making amazing songs." Art is expressing yourself. With that being said, this is art at its finest.

I'm so happy this one won.

I feel you. You laid it out lyrically. My favorite image--the barbed wire.

@PistoLove007 Yes i can hear exactly what it is but it did not flow at all to me. Poetry has to flow not just a rap or a song. It sounded like a information sheet on the dangers of smoking being read out, I honestly cant believe this won. I am going to listen to more of her stuff to see if this one is just not my taste.

@Tawhidlover its not a rap song ,
