You and I meet at the open mic
Think you got some dope lines
Find you on the side
Say I like the way you write rhymes
You reply thank you
Before asking if I rhyme too
Nod my head yes
Although my time at open mics is new
You promise me I'll kill it
Sitting front row with the best view
Panicking internally
Externally I play it cool
I gotta rise to the occasion like the rent is due
And spit my verse with passion that the crowd ain't never heard before
Never scraping surfaces
Let's take it to the ocean floor
The look inside your eyes is proof you feel the same way
Been a while since I met a writer on the same page
My song ends
The audience claps and snaps
Black out while rapping
Your reaction helps fill the gaps
Return to my seat
We speak in between performers
You say I rhyme like Prince Be meets Haruki Murakami
Before I thank you I make sure to drop an RIP
And even though we're only 23
I still check for a ring
Cause falling for you isn't part of the plan
But not everyday I meet a PM dawn fan
Let the thought pass
Simply enjoy the chatter.
Every dope woman isn't my happily ever after
Tonight's farewell performance
Celebrating your move to Portland in the morning
Reminds me of lot of Lauryn
Sorry
I mean Ms. Hill
Type of artist turning down a major label deal
Cause when it's said and done you'd rather keep your music real
Or drop a classic debut album and then disappear
The day you walk away from rhyming is my biggest fear
And despite you leaving Michigan we keep in touch
You help me think it through whenever rhymes refuse to come
Every now and then you say you're penning tracks again
I get caught up in excitement, texting all my friends
I pretend you really mean it when I know it's cap
Cause once your son is born you really don't have time for rap
Story highlights of your kid growing up
You fall deep in motherhood
And we fall out of touch
In your absence I write songs again every day
Haunted by ghosts of the dope ass albums you would've made
Until two years later
Receive an email with a demo tape
Seven songs long
But the bonus track makes it eight
Unknown Sender
Subject sorry for the wait
Let it play through
It's the greatest album never made
Butter smooth flows
Genre shifting production
Boldly stepping forward while other rappers reluctant
Wish you would've dropped it
But I'll always trust your judgement
If this is just your process I won't rush it
And even if it never hits streaming
I still love it
