when i write
i write for me
see
that's the way i be

so when you "review"
is it 4 U
or 4 me?

understand
i'm the man
i am

so if U read me
thank you
if U review
thank you

whether
U like what i write
or if U don't
don't matter
2 me
see

i write for ME
i write to BE

my poetry
is my soul
my words
my whole
my heart
that part
that ain't too smart
but it's me

see?

when U read me
if you READ ME
you will know
i always show
that part
that is my soul
my hole
my heart

so please
do me a favor
if my poetry ain't your flavor
tell me so
or let me go

never
ever
patronize what i write
that just ain't right
and i just might
say some unkind words

like
f**k U
bullsh*t
or
you R full of it

so read me
if U choose
or
read me
if you won't

it really don't
matter
to me

see

i write a FOR ME
not for you

theses words R
'bout the best i can do

i do appreciate
my true friends
but ta' the rest of you

well
hell
you know what you can do

see my name on the board
pass me by
guarantee you
i'll never know why
sure as hell won't cry

you're loss is my gain
my loss
is always
my pain

i try to share
but if you ain't there
then you are where
U are
just do your deal
promise
i'll heal
with you
or without you
i'll do what i do

that's why i write
for me

see?
