Listen, you lions and tigers and bears
Notoriously known as those things that scare
Wreaking havoc and causing disasters
Well, now I'm coming for all you bastards
My foot's on the pedal, my fork's in the steak
I'm ready to blow your horse off the reins
Shake my thunder and hear me roar
You've never heard a thing like this before
I heed not your warnings, I fear not your stare
My time bombs are whispering “Come close if you dare”
While your cavalry creeps through my 'hood
I've got my goon squad posted up in your woods
We're down in the valley, we're up in the cut
We've got all the trees scared out of their trunks
I got all my people outlining your block
While your friends and allies are outlined in chalk
We took all them bodies and gave them the toss
We showed your mama's mama's mama who's boss
We may be thugs, gangsters, and playas
But not like dem lions and tigers and bears.

You are an amazing writer. I've read some of your other works, and I like it all. I could never write like you do, but I'll keep trying.

Thanks for reading my poem: I'm honored!

This is the first poem I have read on this website that doesn’t make me think "Just another insecure, talentless teenager" Conceder switching to songwriting, it's so much more fun. I'm sure you have both the talent and the creativity to make something great. Also, I laughed too.
