Boy Named Riz

I studied the clan, now I’m the tribe Scribed with the methods of keeping it tight Nicknamed the Rza, foreshadowed my rise Mastering gza, inspecting my rhymes Put a cap on the lies, i am the one Capitalised when you write with my style Capital second too all other prizes Suprises watching zare into Ezra Sribe from this time, not back to the torah Live in the present enjoy whats in store for ya The hip hop, art of stringing words together that’ll ring forever in the minds of the switched on Flipped one, flow into the next, shouldn’t be this smooth But when you’re working with yourself and the rap crew You tend to pick up a thing or two, about keeping it cool, keeping it bool Forget the sea, swim in the rhymes, of the times, avoid the crimes If you want to get paid, pain is free, we see it all the time, but enough about this Didn’t want it to be long, thought I’d do a jazz song just to diversify my style, bye for now Sike When I thought of the idea that I had to rap My brain snapped back told myself I’d be wack Lack of material to put to paper Grew up privileged instead of creating poetry I thought that I’d be whinging Raised on Kenny and Eminem, them had real life problems Lifted me when I was upset, didn’t need no doctor At the end of year 12, picked up the pen, put it down shortly after lost motivation, pulled into the cycle Work, eat, sleep communicate with friends Watching life unfurl, not what I expected it to be Thought graduating would mean I’m free from the shackles of restriction, but the only restriction is me Insecurity doesn’t let you outside your comfort zone, I feel all alone, stuck in a telephone box But these clocks are ticking, don’t know how many rotations left before I meet my maker So I aint gonna waste it Many artists out their, music a literal cry for help broadcast to the world Didn’t change the fact, their struggles couldn’t be helped, they’re internal If you boil it right down to the core, the only one you face is yourself the devil I guess that’s the reason as to why I’ve decided to create poetry and this artistic imagery My whole life the only escape I’ve had has been music So now I’m going to force my thoughts outta my head and slaughter them in my lyrics
