Langston's Pen

Pennin' words, bendin' words

Slinky with the vocab

Feelin' like I found Langston's pen and know that

Ink has never been this important

You can quote that

Ink has never been this important

You can quote that

Rose out the hole from a bud where the petals grew

True as one section to live up to it's pedestal

I measured through, nothing I could say that I ain't ever do

I kick it, I did it, every syllable I sketch is true

And didn't have to stretch the truth

Try and get a letter through

Told I'm paintin' pictures to show 'em what a letter do

Literally speakin' I'm throwin' 'em another step or two

Literaturely speakin' I've spoken enough to set a new

Precedent

Call it a proceeding, go to better pens

Came up throwin' tags so I'm buffin' out your relevance

Jumpin' over negligence

Nothin' they can peddle in

Can be a better platter then the service that you settled in

Product of a corner where it's cheaper if you step on it

But went to A.P. English, I'm tuning my intelligence

Crossovers hope to cross over into better things

Till your handle gets you handled and they lettin' metal sing

Cause all I know is phone calls

(Please hold)

What's kickin' Scott?

Gone In 60 Seconds, hear the phone beep

Minute chime

Holla if you need, I'm on the road but I can get to mine

Hold your head in there, when you're home we can get your shine

Cause everyone around me kept the lights on, picture dimes

Loc took bitches to D.C., he was pitchin' dimes

I bodied my A.P. English but I was gettin' mine

Name was all over them scans but no finger lines

This is my reality, all of what resembles I

Bloggers gettin' cute and all, fuck if you don't get a line

All of 'em that do, I salute to you a million times

It ain't the easiest to understand but if you sit and try

This is like soul food

Took what they ain't wish to fry

Turned it to a delicacy baby, all in minutes time

Now they Rachael Rayin' me and bringin' me the different size

Never been to Whole Foods, Met Foods did me fine

On it like we towering

Acknowledge my acknowledgement

First one to come off St. James since the Wallaces

And I was just rappin' what I know, every line of it

Was person, place or thing, turn nouns to astonishment

Shout to Fulton Street

Said and done, I hope you proud of it

Shout to London Boule, phone rings, I know you ridin' with

Shout to Fulton Street

Said and done, I hope you proud of it

Shout to London Boule, phone rings, I know you ridin' with

Ink has never been this important

You can quote that

Born alone, die alone

No crew to keep my crown of thorns

So, I don't take it off or step off from it till the sound is gone

Show 'em how to listen if they get it then they 'bout the raw

And if they couldn't get it, I attempted, I ain't down at all

Put a voice to everything that mattered when the door closed

Bobby pin the lock if they thought they couldn't...
