Composed

The MC sat still, seeming composed
And when the DJ called his name, all of a sudden he rose
Worried, why I bridged the gap of my nose
We’d been friends forever, through lower than lows
I didn’t doubt him, just doubted them
What if they didn’t see his potential?
What if he remained a hidden gem?
What if they overlooked complex for simple?
What if was too late to start shit like that now
The MC strutted to the stage, then took time to bow
He adjusted the mic, made it higher than high
As he lifted his head and introduced himself to the sky
Who the fuck is this? Who he think he is? I heard whispers
Grow louder—you can’t believe this guy, no jitters?
Then the MC grabbed the mic, only to say
“I’ll be performing next week, I lost my voice today.”
