My words are disease To these mcs Because they intricately infiltrate their Mental stability You gladly receive this positivity I'll write out a recipe with this poetry Spit it on dope beat There's No need for petty disagreeing Cause I'm Never shady Always stay hazy Spacey like bennie and the jets On point with my cadence Hypnotized in a trance Take a stance in justice Give the people substance Lust after intelligence Twist out the alphabet while I dance Punk hiphop princess... Like... Like... Call me Marsha Brady Marsha, Marsha, Marsha And that is Marsha with an S-H-A fuck the CIA Hey, all the bitches are wearing black Cut them some slack They haven't done laundry in a while Smile cause you know who's taking you home Poetry in my veins Like this isn't insane Calamity when I drop the verse Drip drop motha fuckas I'm the faucet Not the cause of all this none sense Nothing makes any fucking sense Orchestrater of madness You got all this sadness I don't like that shit Get happy Get sappy tell your girl you love her Just don't suffocate her Or belittle her And you'll have her wrapped around your finger In no time Shine on little girl You're the prom queen The whiskey bee Honey don't be scared of what will be Because honestly we'll be okay As long as we stay lovin Stay stuntin Someone show me somethin I've never seen before Rhythms galore What's in store next? Best dressed Funkiest priestess When the sun sets She'll be unleashed The beast awakens Longing for intellegent conversations With goofy mother fuckers Sucker You thought I couldn't rap??? Tap tap taping at my door longing for more Yea it's Valore I'll show you a whole other world You never thought to explore In that head of yours You guys just don't get it You don't fuckingn get it I will spit on the street with no beat Never need to compete Just be completely free in this poetry You already know me I'm That girl that looks like Marsha brady But I'm unapologetically gritty Please don't spend me pity I don't need a mic to get the crowd rowdy I live radically Saying things you never dared to Sending shivers up your spine As I recite intricately knit lyrics to Uplift everybody I use this vocabulary towards interweaving us as a community Not a shallow society in disparity I didn't know you could spit like that Kill ur phone Marsha, Marsha, Marsha Fuck the CIA Damn that's some gritty fucking shit

Valore: Days fly by Emotions are a turbulent wave I try to navigate The water isn't always rocky and unsteady. It can be peaceful. My mind will trickle until the faucet of my emotions suddenly shuts and calms and there are no longer hindering thoughts No notion of regret With my shoulders poised back relax. Detox and bypass pent up frustrations by picking up a pen and paper with no hesitation. Begin the articulation of my mind Set upon intentions of upliftment Shun out the twisted schemes of their negative motives I'm simply trying to stay level headed against the storm of culture, vices, destructions, trends, government, "ethics" and "politics" There is no pretending I know it all. Merely let the water replenish me in my ocean of serenity Water cleanses, it clears the senses and sustains the suspension of species. Once the crying is done There is the blessed sun There are tons of beings I know radiate that same energy Reaching to infinity and beyond I've found my home in pockets of friendship My friends are like the most succulent and savory juices I love the taste of our conversations They are the sunshine and the H2O that flows in my veins reign over me light. I don't need sight when I can dive into vibrations and pools of lovely sensations My voice has not yet gone through evaporation So I whip my head in the wind and rage and yell praise for the daze This intricate haze Press play And say Yes Yes to no distress Yes to live music from sunrise to sunset Yes to dancing and dreaming and living and thriving One door closes but there is a window next to it Propel out of the building and forget about doors For there is mother nature to explore Mother fuckers! Don't go back to the demons Do not let them control your thoughts. Open my brain and toss them out of the folds they've been hiding in. My aunt bev told me the meaning of life but she doesn't use words she showed me through her actions. Her love. The same love I have for everyone. Love will remain for posterity. Forever giving clarity. Love, Valore

But what happens when my phone dies??? Do I still exist out side of these pages I've created and broadcasted my life onto? Religiously checked into other people's lives What am I without this lifeline? This cellular device In which I sacrifice my time? I only feel divine when people like the picture I paint on a screen Bleed out pixels as I scream I don't want this anymore I want to explore the world around me Be completely checked out and free of the miscellaneous apps That mostly distract and counteract from productivity Feel the relief of silencing my thumbs As I shake off the disease technology can become Hum a tune as I become in-tune with my surroundings physically Instead of virtually I said come on baby let's kill our phones, Won't you join the fun? I'm so sick of being a robot Scroll in and out of apps with skill Killing time via clicking Clicking clicking clicking I keep clicking I can't stop clicking Drumming up emotions like it's substance to sell There is some reluctance in my head, can't you tell? You tried to spin me in this web I ebbed away Feeling the grey surfacing Turning into magenta Turning into raspberry Then to gangrene I've seen you in the bars Searching for something Anything I've been there too Watching you pace around for conversation Not satiated by the drugs Or the fake hugs Did you get your degree Did you get your degree? How does it feel darling? Are you more enlightened or the same Do we measure ourselves in debt or in the taming of the heart? Where does one even start?

My life is littered with colorful cassettes I am blessed No distress as I let myself take hold of my mind Unwind to the dopeness I got succulent substance in my essence Sippin reefer cigarettes Sublet radiance with my presence Except there's no expense In extreme suspense as You Catch some feelings Begin unreeling I've gotta stop saying sorry so damn much I gotta stop saying sorry so damn much I gotta stop saying sorry sp damn much Cause.... Cause everybody plays the fool sometimes There's no exception to the rule Taking off my dress Sweaty sex with no a/c Bring the sleaze Squeeze me love me hold me Really feel me But you will not own me You will not own me You will not own me Everybody plays the fool Sometimes There's no exception to the rule Listen baby Hey I'm not perfect and neither are you But I think we could make a nice shade of blue So won't you forget about your heart contusions And your heads confusion And lay with me for a while

Darling people will smile in your face And then spit on your name When they can't physically see you They will contort and misconstrue news But you know what you need to do? Keep expressing frustrations intricately and openly Keep loving with subtle electric passion Keep uplifting with no hesitation Position yourself with liaisons The moment you think you're completely shattered and tarred And yet still keep going Is when the real magic happens Life has a funny way of being bliss and piss within same moments Experience it and savor Dwell within the nooks and crannies of this time and space I don't believe we have to be in a distinct place in order to taste bliss I'm gonna dwell in love and not resist Intuition has gotten me far There's not much difference between velvet and velour So sit and let's chit chat about the spiritual faucets Turn on our minds for a few seconds Remove the phone from our hands and just listen Oh my darling! There's daggers in the grocery bin A Food fight in the lions den Focus on invisibility with the adept strength of the stone mask on brass Hinges Happiness on my crest (Yes) Spread it to everyone off the list (Committed) I've got kunai On my right thigh Double-inch blade With the poison tip My nigga free slaves With a motherbrain Setting all phasers to "amaze" Bear's Tooth gripping and bending the Framework The ancient dragon guarding access to the kindness hoarded over a millennium is currently described as perennial but blooms once and dies young like the petty treasures you've clung to Impervious to the nerves that pull the corners of your rug forward when you're fearful For the mist will crawl into your skull and free memory space to contemplate the taste of effigies that burn energy indefinitely in the name of negativity Spare me the nonsense The movement's made for progress I fell in love with your favorite rappers girlfriend when I saw her in that prom dress Now he's the butler she's the wifey Catch a nigga in a bearskin headdress with some honey on my bare chest bumpin' Driver on cassette

Girl you're too fine to be bussing tables Come to my world of mystical invasion Where the only hurt is an occasional splinter and the only rent you pay is live to another Cause I can tell that this cycle of just getting by is weighing you down So come to my world that's just for you my rejected clown A place where every note, every poem, every song is heard by a lover us artist herd together to create a world of beauty no need for power We were once tossed by authority to the wayside now we're entrepreneurs of art and love relaxing by the poolside So forget about minimum wage Or if that douche bag loves you Or if that dress fits you Or if your daddy ever loved you To all those tears clouding your eyes say adieu For it's time to see a new dawn Your silhouette becomes a statue of bronze

I pledge allegiance to the flag of te United States of corruption And to the republic for which we decay One nation under the dollar With liberty and justice for the rich This shit gets so fucking twisted This is twisted america and shit gets so twisted It doesn't take much logic to see politics Are fucking up our government Bull shit answers to pertinent questions ignorance of bullets transferred by police into innocent civilians I am twisted america I'm flipping this shit upside down Wear my stars and stripes hat to counteract Bring back the idea of freedom No more attacking of others philosophies Or Prejudice of ethnicities Darling this world is beautiful ecstacy Once you live above the frightful system Unnecessary stigmas I'm the liaison to enlightenment Insight to your inner creativity Lovely you have so much inside of you Unleash yourself into the throes of love and desire Transpire into utter bliss As you dismiss ignorance Smile with the sun on your lips Lay in the deep green grass Sink into the abyss This is freedom Right here in this moment We're committing treason with poetic reason The truth does not fade with the seasons Let's dust off the cobwebs of their inner frustrations Open wide their closed minds and hearts Let them see we don't have to be pawns to the paper Money never bought me love Never kept me as warm as your hug

Girl you are made of star dust and confidence Wash off that rust and negativity that has been keeping you in a trance Begin to turn to the sun for substance, direction, and reflection Galaxies rise when you dive into your stance Seize your inner worth and don't even try to put out the flaming torch in your soul Dance away the hate and satiate your needs, wants, and goals They try to haunt and take a toll on you Punch down your dreams Keep you quiet Demean But they don't know you are unstoppable You are a riot You mean business And you are no less than any other organic essence There is nothing but brilliance in your breath

I swear I'm not going crazy I swear I'm not going crazy I seear I'm mot goingg crazy Sifting through mines of emotions Through endless tokens of affections But no real substance is found Only scripted plastic words Used by the wolf to tantalize lambs You broke up with me in sans script font Sought to reprimand using arial But it was too late I was spiraling into grief Until I found some relief in this music Soaked up that good ink That made me think about my reality How I choose to see myself Perspective is much better up in the clouds But I'm still on the ground You only come around when you need something So eager with your touching I loose feeling when you're nudging At my soul It feels numb I get butterflies before I hit the stage I go dumb Unload some rage Rearrange their brains Engage the crowd mentally I'm guilty of Stimulating their sensory Persuasively trying to let them know they are worthy Letting go of our egos Subtly disintegrating any power Shower and shake off bad intentions Did I mention you're beautiful? Be mindful of that and Never forget Never forget Never forget

Scrolling through this book of faces Fazing out of reality I'm feigning for some solace Seems as though the toughest part is admitting we have a problem Of taking time peeking into peoples lives Instead of living our own We're addicted to the scrolling To the seeking and the searching We keep thinking something else is out there in this huge abyss called the internet Keep thinking true love was missed in an accidental tinder swipe to the left So we keep on swiping right with no success Keep thinking Intelligence is only a mouse click away So we keep on clicking Deaf to the decay Life is much easier as a pixel on a tropical island Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time playing angry birds Absurd to get anything done When there's a phone touch That lights up a feast for the senses It's like an artificial social subelement But there's no real substance More distance I find more resonance in your physical presence And I appreciate you holding my hand More than liking my status An actual conversation more than a retweet I feel closer to you making eye contact Than texting The heart emoji doesn't do my love justice So I'm forgetting the superficial nonsense Turning off my phone and meditating I'm stimulating my mind in my own organic imagination I feel peace What others think ceases to exist All that's left within is bliss I have my bubble of happiness Lost in the internet I just wanna be lost in the internet I just wanna be lost in the internet Like my status Please like my status Refresh refresh refresh Until you find the notification that's best Press press press buttons Touching screens Never skin Promote all of your sins To the body of mass that follows you And they'll follow your moves Lose sight of tangible reality Scrolling until clarity is achieved Deceive them all through painted faces pixelated Snap a chat instead of fingers Look into a book of faces instead of the actual physical traces Lost in the internet don't let me get lost in the internet
