Poetry: Materialism

They say I gain less
Because I'm game less
I don't show any skin
Tell me I can't win
Get the money
Take them dummies
Bend over twist it up
Sex contortionist
Hurry up

They say I gain less
Because I'm game less
I say they're brainless
Can't hold a nine to five
Can only speak unapprised
Give it up girl
I bet you can't work
In the real world
Get the dictionary
Pick up the thesaurus


Everything you say
Isn't a rap chorus

They say I gain less
Because I game less
Don't knock the hustle
Don't love him just pluck him
Get in them pockets
And shoot him up like rockets
He seeing stars you seeing cars
Take that fool to mars

They say I gain less
Because I game less
Go to the beauty shop
Do something with that mop
Perm it curl it, frost it blend it
Get that fresh manicure
Use fingers like lures
Forget those bills
He will cure all your ills
His check your check
Get paid before you're late
Take him fast so fast
write a blank check
on your first date

They say I gain less
Because I game less
I like less
No mess, less distress
No babies or maybe babies
No support from governments
Stamps recipients paying
Eight dollar rents
Babies on hips
You're not quick
5 kids you slipped.
Dipped down below the line
Poverty mediocrity your life
Hypocrisy not mine

They say I gain less
Because I game less

    by Lakish Campbell

    I sat before my vanity
    Holding on to my sanity
    Opening jars and tubes
    Rectangles and cubes
    Drowning in floral scents
    Reveling

    Whats mine is mine,
    Whats yours you can keep,
    If you borrow-return it,
    Otherwise-no sleep.

    I've worked hard to get it,
    You just

    All perfect packaging,
    In the displays of
    Psychedelia and stark.
    Inaccessible and utterly unique,
    Snobbish hysteria.

    things bought
    and the money spent
    are they really heaven sent?

    things of this world
    they do not last
    so why your lot in
    do you
