How To Do A Poetry Slam

Talk shit about men and you’ll get a few snaps

Talk shit about the government and you’ll get a few claps 

Talk shit about white folks and you’ll get a few toasts

Talk shit about the rich and you’ll be sure to be a hit

Talk about how we are all sad and on drugs 

and a few are sure to come up to you afterwards and give you a hug

Talk shit about the ignorant and the intelligent, and you’ll gain everyone's respect.

Sprinkle in some sex

And maybe a few of your kinks 

And feel the hearts start to beat harder

Bring us all inside of your words

Create a beat

Line us all in a row

Make sure we are in-sync 

Let your words flow

Talk about your addiction

And make sure to mention

How lost you are 

If you do this

You’ll be sure to be a big hit 

at a poetry slam

But oh, how fake you will be

Oh, what a beautiful copy you will become

It is easy to get a few snaps

And a few tears

It’s fairly easy to entertain 

But what matters the most

is if you stay true to you in the middle of this maze.
