Counting my blessings

I'm Gripping on a microphone.
My book is filled with hooks.
A selfie stick and brush I use to amplify my looks.

My iPhone shoots videos and contacts the ladies.
I'm looking at my old jersey like I could of been Brady.
I'm obsessed with multiplying change.
Oppression drove me crazy.

I'm counting all my blessings like a fridge of rice and gravy.
I had a slice of pizza.

I'm so glad to be alive,
There a photo book of memories.
it doesn't have a price.

There's a bible on my desk and it really saved my life.
I went from a lowlife and transformed into a scholar.
I no longer get in trouble.My pen is my revolver.

Do It! Ekphrastic (IRON MAN POEM Revised)

By. Juan Lopez III (Bass The Beast)
Iron Man Poem Revised

The sky collapsed,

I screamed your name but you were out of sight,

You spread your wings and took flight,

My angel in the night,


I sit in silence like a lost pigeon in the park.

My brain screams!

Lately I've been running from the dark,


Broken hearts and chest pains are tearing me,

Stabbing at the spine,

Wounding every body part,

I'm Paralyzed and Can't sleep with rivers in my eyes,

I hit rock bottom every time I'm about rise,


Silent cries, Suffocating, where is my mind?

Raindrops leave me blind.
Am I stuck in the time?

I lost my noodle like I saw the writings on the wall,

No wonder why the dead of winter comes after fall,

We got to crawl in a cocoon before we learn to fly,

We got hit the ground just to reach for the sky,

You led me to the light and steered me out the crowd,

So I vow to be my best,

I promise I will make you proud.

Do It! Ekphrastic (IRON MAN POEM)

Image result for picasso


IRON MAN

The sky fell, I called your name, but you were outta sight
You sprouted wings and took flight, my angel in night,
I sit in silence Like a lost pigeon in the park,
My brain screams! Lately I've been running from the dark,
Broken hearts, chest pains are tearing me apart, 
Stabbing at the spine, Wounding every body part,
I'm Paralyzed, I Can't sleep with lakes in my eyes,
I hit rock bottom, every time I'm about rise,
Silent cries, Suffocating, where is my mind,
Raindrops leave me blind, Like I'm stuck in the time,
I lost my noodle like the pain they doodled on the walls,
No wonder why the dead of winter comes after fall,
We got to crawl in a cocoon before we learn to fly,
We got to hit the ground just to reach for the sky,
You lead me to the light and steered me from the crowd,
So I vow to be my best,
I swear will make you proud.

Steal from yourself

Forward

Look up at the sky and shine like the sun in July,
I'm a dove and angel like a jet I must fly,
Free to be myself music is my vocal ecstasy,
Focused on my lyrics words all I ever get to see,
Chasing riches, my fingers are itching create to a money sea,
With money I will feed the poor and save all the tree's,
Momma say I have a problem I've been singing in my sleep,
All the pain inside my heart has me spitting something deep,
Hitting rock bottom only made my bones steel,
I guess you gotta see the fake to appreciate the real


Backwards

I guess you gotta see the fake to appreciate the real
Hitting rock bottom only made my bones steel,
All the pain inside my heart has me spitting something deep,
Momma say I have a problem I've been singing in my sleep,
With money I will feed the poor and save all the tree's,
Chasing riches, my fingers are itching create to a money sea,
Focused on my lyrics words all I ever get to see,
Free to be myself music is my vocal ecstasy,
I'm dove and angel like a jet I must fly,
Look up at the sky and shine like the sun in July,

Revised


Shine like the sky when in the hot summer time
I'm a plane and a rocket I because aim too high,
I'm One of a kind and I cannot be clone,
Share is caring / I won't spend it all alone
The misfit took the song and it his home,
The ocean tears became shallow like the puddles
The waterboy became the QB in the huddle
He has gift to never sleep but take naps
Tied up his opposition with a mic and a rap
Rats crawled him when he napped in the trap
Now all can see is a money bag of raps
He became a man once the old him snapped
Had to get back up every time fell
Before he got to heaven,
he walked through hell,

Do It! Diction

Do it Diction Assignment

No one can see me, no one would stop me, no one could help me. They would just call the tree huggers but it would be too late. My only regret is climate change. She’d have the coffee on. There was a time during my search for a cure when I tried everything to stop including giving up on humanity. The smell filled the polluted air. I loved to drink a fresh cup of water in the past, to say I'm sorry to the red sea after we’d spent another decade decaying together. I’d tell her now it’s going okay except for the poison. It’s going okay except for how much I miss her and swimming. Where did you go? Nature why did you die?! I’ve never been a very good at smiling since. [Remake By Bass The Beast] [Original From Joshua Ferris’s The Unnamed]

Like Missiles dropping Boom goes the verse,
I'm electrifying I zap the worst,
Tick tock Tick Tock I race the clock,
The Lock goes click, My words go bang like 20 clocks
Cuz with a pen and paper I'm  apocalyptic
AHH!!! I make them scream with a flow so gifted
Up Up and away I zoomed of in rocket,
I'll make you're ears ring more than the phone inside my pocket,
Sometime I'll sing until vocal chords start hurting
I'm obsessed with twitter I'm on it before the start chirping
I can't sleep my iphone won't stop buzzing
We all have issues I have more that 50 dozen.

Drowing in the gasoline ocean with teardrops fire

The flames rose and he lost feeling and desire

His heart of stone had broke bones

Calling to the past on his phone

Couldn't drop the patron

He wonders why is he alone

He was drinking



Breathe Stinking, Bloodshot eyeballs blinking, I assume he wasnt thinking

Beer pong, made a sad song on a ship sinking

On bar stool 1000 feet below the pedalestal

How the big man on campus shrinked into something miniscule

He tried to be cool and was hooked before blink

 I fell for the queen in the dress she was winking

before he could tell her his name

He was drinking

Pen Pal Poem



Dear Me,

When you step on stage don't forget to lyrical decapitite the competition,

Make it rain fire with a written composition.

Don't hold back, make heads turn, till neck's snap.



 Unleash the beast and feast on my foes with a vicious consistant flow,

 Obliterate every rapper until fear consumes their souls,

Wreck havoc and seek revenge the demons with a microphone,



Let them know I won't stop till the universe I mine.

Shine a diamond and so bright you can leave them blind

It's time for me to conquer and demolish with these wicked ryhmes

Love Me,

Pen pal Poem

I letter from the new me to the old me

Dear Juan (old me),
Chances are you’re long gone and that’s cool! You had to die to make me realize I was fool. I wonder did you die or transform. I look back at your mistakes you behaved like a new born. I’m glad think you’re dead and gone I no longer think like a slave, a beast is worth more than Gold I shouldn’t live in a cage. You used to be so angry but I chose to kill my demons on stage. You had to die before I could learn to believe and achieve. I was so naïve before God give me this dream. The old me would to sell OZ’s and QP’s inside of the trap but the new me just wants to make a trillion with Rap. This is the last letter I will write to you old me. The new me believes you should stay in the past. The new me found God now I never finish last.
Sincerely Bass The Beast (new me),
