Everybody Dies, but not Everybody Lives

 

“Everybody Dies, but not Everybody Lives”

A POEM BY KAMAL KENDRICKS

WRITTEN 05.09.2013AD

 

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives

So I’m gonna party it up, without any care to give

We’ve only got one life to live, so who really cares

If I sexually exploit myself, while sadistic strangers stare?


Diversity is overrated, let’s just stick to one beat,

One sound, one message, one perverted video feat

And all we need is four simple minutes

If you dare to go over, be prepared to snip it


Just forget about your culture, pop culture is all you need

Fist pumps over hip bumps, let’s drink and smoke weed

If you’re not white, you’re black and ghetto

Spirituality is not welcome here, we make it clear from the get-go


No longer can your music be free-form

If you’re underground, it’s because you chose not to conform

Music is about business, exposure, and sales

Stick to one genre, boundless music will fail


Women, shun your natural beauty

We want weaves, implants, and fake booty

That way it’s packaged for male consumption

Check the history, that’s how we make society function


Minorities, you are from the hood

Only make rap music like you should

Anything else is just dated as “neo-soul”

Meanwhile, your white contemporaries steal all the high extol


We’re not worried about self-awareness

Take what you’re given, or live in squareness

We demand that we receive, but we refuse to give

Who has time, when you only have one life to live?


Materialism is our religion

Instant satisfaction is what we envision

With close-mindedness as our king, and selfishness as our queen

There is nothing beyond the physical that we have seen


We want everything quick, like food in a microwave

The majority is on our side, so we control the latest rave

Old-heads mad because we “disrespect” the greats

With our “distasteful” remakes and samples, they dismiss them with hate


Would I trade this life for anything? The answer is a big N-O

My excuse for everything is YOLO

I’m a ride-or-die, stop trying to point out my negatives

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives
