Thank you Thank you for giving me your time And if not, and you skipped ahead, this is your Too Long; Didn't Read This is what made up me And this is dedicated to all those who made me This goes to you Let's go Son of Robert and Venita born in 1990 Made it to 2018 and as I look behind me I ponder, how has life's series of events Shaped this master of ceremony with you ladies and gents Topeka, Kansas where the man was taught his suburb grammar A bit of country, but you'd think I'm southern with my manners That hospitality was taught to me in daycare with Nanny And the early nights that I spent with Granny Haynes Family reunions spent with cousins that barely know now Because divorce had more Smiths around I could profile My dad remarried moving to Florida, that sort of created borders From his kin, and more familiar with the quarters of mom's Though she tried her best to balance that dynamic Plus, my father often flew me closer to the Atlantic And my relationship with Leslie as mother lacks the step So I'm grateful for two families I get love and respect But as I grew up in top-city, my companions were Kenna and Izzy From attending Calvary Baptist Church to playing games with smirks And soon my first little sister arrived to join the team Our second S when my older one Sheronda ain't visiting You see, Sienna entered my life making me more protective Save for the moments we were playing recklessly Like us wrestling; as siblings, we were closest in our formative Years; growing up together more and less fortunate The lifestyle of the broke and average Is something that I'm used to; the middle class is this Living in the district to school with the privileged Yet three generations in the house share the same fridge Occasional days without power But had the chance to go up the Eiffel Tower My parents, aunties, and uncles unified to stay afloat That made me cherish them, cause I knew some weren't in the same boat Cause by the time I was in Antioch Missionary I realized that a few miles away was like a different area Cause although I wore the same clothes for years Drugs, violence, and tears was normal to my worshiping peers It's weird; I'm the goody two shoes who got it made to one crowd And on the other hand, they pity me and look down... wow And I appreciate that dichotomy, cause what that taught to me Was never to judge people economically Now I can bring you to when I moved to Tampa Cause that's where I also saw a bit of that double standard At Blake High, I was a magnet student of performing arts But the traditional academics wasn't a performing part Yet at home, I start to being a big bro to Jaden That 14 year gap makes building a relationship a bit frustrating But I hope to be an example of how to combat Satan Putting Jehovah first, because we are His loved creations And as I make these statements, I hope you can get the portrait Just like I had to learn I'm more than punchlines and a chorus I'm forged with experiences and influences (That aren't musical) and that's what's turned me into this It's struggles, conversations, love, goals, entertainment Set before me; I'm what it all was forming I'm digging and chipping away so you can finally receive this My Genuinely Epic Monsterpieces GEMs I became a lapidary to drop GEMs, but first I had to spelunk to find the minerals I mean, I tried to really unearth the raw material that shows who I am in a way I've never done before The pressure was high, but they say that makes diamonds And I can't think of Emeralds without the chaos, but hey... I only hope I polished it enough for you to find it precious Either way, I'm going to show it off like a new necklace Threes!
