Look at this old dude blocking my path…move it pops!
My new video for “WOKE UP”- Slave R3volt coming 12.12.12!
So here’s the thing… With the release of my first book and performing a play based on the book, I’ve been away from the music scene for about 2 years now. Aside from a handful of shows, when I’ve been onstage the last couple of years it has been either under theater lights or in a giant lecture hall or bookstore. I’m grateful for those experiences and successes, and I plan on continuing to grow in those lanes. But cousin, I’m an emcee. I’m excited about the release of my 3rd LP- Slave R3volt, releasing 12.12.12. I wanted to step back out with something hard and back to the basics. From me to you, Woke Up. - Ise Lyfe

“Speak Poet speak!”
Tell us something
Say it all for us since we won’t say nothin
Here!
We built you a pedestal
Stand on it
Take it! Take it!
Though you didn’t ask for it
Be our muse
Our stringless puppet
You move boulders with substance
We shrug our shoulders, say fuck it…
With you we’re infatuated
But call it love
Right now we’re impressed
But later we’ll judge
And glare
Judge you for acting like you’re so high up
Forgetting we put you there
You denied our pedestal but we insisted and begged
Until the day we can’t reach you
So we start chopping at the legs…
Hoping you fall
Greatness and all
Bleed like the rest of us
Cry and die in a ball
So down you come
Twirling, whirling, and scared
No wait!
You are twirling and whirling and dancing in air!
And when you hit the asphalt you neither cried nor bled
We huddled over you and wept
As we ourselves bled
Our envy, jealousy, and dumb-ass-ness made us sick and unwell in the head
Oh Poet
Oh Poet
Oh Poet
Oh Poet
As we looked down at “you”
In your face we saw all of our faces
Only then could we tell
We hadn’t killed you
We had only killed ourselves…
