A Verse for my idol, 'Logic'/Robert Hall II"



Author's foreword:
I wrote this to get the attention of one of my idols. He's a rapper named Logic and I advocate for his growth and exposure. He's truly talented and I wanted to one day work with him.

"Eyes once flooded with darkness
Sh*t was kinda scary
Body once restless
Now I'm an activity Visionary
The doctors said my dad's blind, I'm next in line
I must remind these people that that doesn't prevent the rhyme
From exiting my mouth's route,
This flow will never grow stout
I won't throw a fit, nor frown nor pout

I have too much talent to let it bottle inside
Before long, a young boy would have went away and died
So while I'm on this earth
I promise to make my mark on this turf
Rub my remnants into the dirt
Drum these sounds into their heads like I'm Neil Peart

I won't stop the religion nor the science
One without the other leads to unbalance, unreliance
Robert, I want to be your apprentice, your prodigy, I won't stop it
I won't stop, I'll be relentless in my pursuit of life's Logic

These words stream from my pen
Ink spilling over even toppling Big Ben
I hope to one day be in Double X L's top ten
Then, I'll use the spotlight to project my win
The win is the wind, the way of my mind's framework
It ticks constantly like clockwork, pills prevent the pain that hurt…
Suppresses the demons that whisper to me
Then I dropped the pills recently and poetry became my remedy
Never knew a paper and pencil could set me free
Now I stay up writing gold from 8(am) to 3(am)"
 Yo Logic what's up...More is to come. I won't run.
This is far from finished, undone.
More is to come...more is to come.
I won't run.
I won't...run.
Here I come..
