Food (For Thought)

Sit down and grab yourself a plate.

I shall drop more gems into your bag.

You hungry?

Skipped breakfast?

Munch on what I got to spit to you today

2019 has been the year that I’ve tapped

into my hidden DNA

Origins of my incarnations,

been here for multiple generations

My real name probably isn’t even Khali

I’m just a messenger, a walking deity

Everything they said I would never become

It’s what I became, showed them

“this is how you do this”

After my posting my college graduation

pictures up on social media

How many young black men do you

know of dat’ have college degrees at the age of twenty?

Which young black man do you know of that

has published 142 projects at the age of twenty?

I’m gonna have me a Bachelor’s at twenty-two,

on the road to put out 200 while I’m at it

I was reading a couple of articles over

on the world wide web or whatever

And I came across a woman named Danielle Steel

I just wanted to say that savage writer is quickly catching on

You got competition, albeit it’s fierce and friendly

I want to reach a new level, but I also want to learn from an OG

I’m gonna trick you guys on this next one

How many young black men do you know of that owns

all the publishing rights to their 142 projects and counting,

knowing that publishers can trap new blood

only because of their mass marketing power

To me, the money is in the rights themselves

So keep that in mind before you sign your soul over to Ghoul
