Some say my words are as deep as can be <br />back in the day there was no peep out of me <br />never was the type to try and stay focused <br />but I could tell a lie and hang with the jokers <br />If you knew me you didn't love me, at least not for long <br />then something grew inside me, the beast became strong <br />I put pen to paper and out came something poetic <br />relished in hip hop,2 women named it floetic <br />instead of holding onto a blunt in my mouth <br />I hold now a pen and cast out my doubt <br />Finding this easier than roaming the streets everyday <br />I've become a man hoaning my talents in everyway <br />encouraged to do this by those around me and in my life <br />engulfed in darkness until poetry and hip hop shed some light <br />would have done this sooner but the drugs delayed me <br />thanking Got that (poetry) (hip hop) saved me<br /><br />GodBody O.G<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-hip-hop-saved-my-life/
