Where are YOU? by Hakeem Kymanie a.k.a The black matador
I thought ud stand beside me as the storms blew past us
and remain an accomplice to me more faithful than the pastors,
but u crept away
without even a goodbye to act as a gesture
I wish I never met ya
I wish I never put u first coz u played ur boy like Hugh Hefner
you got me hyped for nothing,
you told me its okay to stop running,
you told me its okay to stop gunning,
you told me its okay to put my life behind a beat n start rhyming
its okay u said, but now the love is dead
I feel weak without u like a virus done spread
we were easy to spot, like we walked around with x’s on our head
I was the face, u were the art n together we break bread
but u deserted me and left me sick with dread
now I’m here reminiscing on the times we shared
seated on the park bench, listening to Tupac then
creating a masterpiece for the people to comment
Where are you??
Where are you??
We made magic every time we were alone in the zone
but now that ur gone I feel so sucker prone
I was the hip, u were the hop
every time I laid u down, u made harmony
people used to nod in agreement
they said we were meant to be together ever since I was a semen
but all alone on this yellow brick road I sort
another to replace u but I cant retort
every time we spoke together the ground shook like Haiti
I introduced you to my parents n they inducted you into my family
we sat around a campfire and we told them poetry
the words connected as we painted pictures without ink
you opened my mind to possibilities no ordinary human can think
and then u vaporized like dew,
we were together for so long I hardly saw it coming
and at night my heart pounds like a Zulu drumming
hoping I will find you lying next to me in the morning
I’m eternally yours HipHop, but I keep on wondering
Where are you??
Where are you??
