Skyzoo Series: His Name Would Be Skyzoo

 

 

His Name Would Be Skyzoo

That Bed-Stuy BK guy

With that fly guy

Etiquette

NY he's reppin' it

Hard line of lyrics hat aren't white or black

As I react to the masterful composition

Of a baby from the 80's

Kickin' 80 verses of purpose,

Struggle and dreams observed,

Deffered, achieved and believed

Pristine painted pictures from lyrics

Equivalent to the hood version

Of Norman Rockwell

It Ain't Hard to Tell

If Langston Hughes wrote sixteens

Instead of poetry

His name would be Skyzoo

If Spike Lee wrote sixteens instead of scenes

His name would be Skyzoo

Hues of granite and brick form

A painter's palette in an urban jungle

The rumble, rumble of the train,

The faded lights of the corner store

Mix with the thundering baselines

From the cars that drive by

To define the underpainting

Painting from the under

No high gloss finish

To diminish the blemish

Of bad decisions, drugs

And gang bang

Guns go Bang! Bang!

It's the Shooter's Soundtrack

Young boys and girls get clapped

For disputes revolving around

Money, Power and Respect

These projects and LPs project

The projects a few doors down

Christopher "Frank White" Wallace

It's a Range Rover Rhythm

Raging rhythmically

Because these dreams

In the basement

We're meant to be achieved

Believe
