PSMIITH
Born in Seattle
Grew up on the Eastside
Family let the heat fly
& always told me, “Be wise.”
Mama played R&B
She played Pac too!
Pops would call collect
& spit that fire when he got to
Used write out Nas raps
I used to sing Blackstreet
Graduated college for my mama
cuz she asked me
Focused on my writing
Zeroed in the flow and cadence
Developed myself,
now I’m here to give you cogitations
