When my Afro boards a plane,

my ancestor’s souls soar.

I love it when we’re high.

She deserves to see the world

from another perspective;

her own;

first hand;

live.

pt.three

They waiting for my keynote address.

Said my genius had em impressed.

Oh, this old thang?

My main ingredient.

Because that thing I doubted

Is also my best and most solid creation

I built me.

Brick by fucking brick.

How could i have ever doubted myself when I witnessed the work?

I’m a master of my own craft.

An expert on myself.

My world. My passion. My fucking voice.

And -

My MFKN Mojo.

Let Them -

let them assume the bright lights surrounding

are sparks from the sun.

anyone grounded can see that star is dying.

Keep it tight!

-I said.

“You’re doing great, honey!”

Pretending and lying.

Bide my time, I tik and tok

So, like, what’s new?

said in a different tune

keeping up pace

Stunned by grace

so I’ll let them talk.

and I’ll let them assume

I’ll let them buy into

This crafty prelude.
