Poetry/Hip Hop by Stockbridge Students

Oh the places you’ll go

You have bewitched me body and soul

How wild it was, to let it be

But I couldn't let you go and that was clear you see

 I would not could not

Let you go, my sin, my soul not

No, not now, not ever again

I was in love with an unavailable man

But I break free from this unbreakable sin

So it goes

It was the best of times it was the worst of times

Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes

 Yet

But I'm here to stay don't go away

Better a witty foul than back to my foolish ways

But I would prefer not to

Forget anything about you

I’ll prefer you and I love you 

At the beginning there’s was no hope

But know its broken by the way the sun shown.

 Having no alternative.

The youngest of four to your mother kids

But I'm here I'm just one

Love is never any better 

Than what the lover has done.

​

​

So here it goes

        Just to let you know

At the beginning there was no hope

Freeing yourself was one thing

      Not being with me was something

       but my money still growing like palm trees

This is the saddest story I’ve ever heard

       Loving folks just gone get you hurt

    How wild it was, to let it be

      My replacement could never top me

     Nobody can ever stop me 

   In the first place y'all lifestyles bores me

Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt

   But you got to remember that was only at first

  After awhile I started to think i was cursed

  I would not could not ever be broke again

  You lay back and they'll think they finna win

I take one dollar and make it ten

 choose a life,  a job,choose a career

these boys don't know what i make in a year

. No, not now, not ever

These females can't never ever do better

Twerking while i make my cheddar

The boy everybody cousin know is yo header

I mean America, I’ve given you my all and now here i am

A brownskin changing the game

While these other females doing anything fa fame

I bet yo daddy know my name, he hiding while still ashamed.

To want and not to have

I'm accomplishing goals from left to right

just cuz im pretty these girls wanna fight

but im not mike tyson, i just sit back and rest

Im aiming for high, i dont settle for less

Tomorrow is fresh, no mistakes in it yet

When i die they gone remember my name

Oh the places you’ll go

 baby why you dont try to change

When i hit the top imma praise myself

celebrate myself, and brag on myself

When yo boyfriend see me ,i bet he wanna melt

but its okay you can have him boo

im focused on my money and my grades too.
