The Reason Why
By: Allison Leiva, Saneli Soto, and Sadibekova Alina
They say:
"You be trippin' too much"
Like if there isn't a lot to trip on, man
Look at me
My accomplishments adorn me like ornaments on a Rockefeller tree like
Damn!
It's great to be me.
I dare you to try and catch up to me
Taller than Mt Everest
Tip toeing the line between the land, ocean, and everything that's out of reach
I paint my hair green
Like the trees that breath air into everything you see
Pushing and pumping the boundaries of creation
My existence is a necessity
You thing I'm trippin and you aint even seen the best of me
The northern star
Your attention on me
Center of the galaxy here to guide you in your time of need
I've been doing it effortlessly for centuries
You look up and say my ego's too high
I know you're probably thinking
"Man, she must be smoking mad things."
But you need me
Like the fish need the seas, I'm schooling those who don't believe
Call me Eywa my blood flows with history
A true mother tree
I just took a DNA test
The results came back more than a bad bitch
Never average
I'm the unconquered spirit of the ones once referred to as savage
I wrote the laws of attraction and redefined physics so I
Can't ever be trapped in
I'm the definition of free
Ask the one they call Lady Liberty
She might be tall, but trust
She looks up to me
I was the ghost writer for the Declaration of Independence
Flying farther than the words of fake founding fathers who depended on the work of my sister and brethren
I laid the foundation of ALL nations
Simply put
I'm amazing
So be humble and sit down
I know some of y'all can't stand me
Can't stomach or fathom how the quiet notion of my motions causes commotion
I'm the inspiration for every rhyme ever spoken
Call me Gaia,
Mother Earth,
or Tonatzin
And let your blessings decorate me from my head to my feet
I'm in every book you read
The source of knowledge you seek
Motherfucker try to get rid of me
You can't
You're better off trying to vibe off my ego
Don't trip, it's big enough for 3
2 say all that I am and will ever be
1 would have to listen for eons and centuries
They call it "Ego Tripping"
But I just call it
Poetry
