Lyrical Poem: "Critics or Crickets"

Do you hear all the cheers coming from the stands
Well everybody up there I call my friends
Can you hear them scream cuz I just hit a homer
Its surprising Im surrounded by people because Im such a loner
Anyways, Im making hits like my last name was Ortiz
And yet you keep questioning me like we're on formspring
I used to have a queen with common sense, everything was just right
Now Im back on my own and all I do is just write,
Out my entire life to reach them satellites
Got NASA asking questions they tryna reach my heights
But here you are beating me down giving me scars
Doubting my every step saying I won't go far
Like my parents you're tryna ground me
Instead keeping me in the clouds where u found me
What you rather do is bring me down and just clown me
Everything I am and do you find funny
Well Im sorry Im not Richard Pryor jokes for dummies

Even though some girls don't like me, even when I try my best
I still yell "Hey Mami", like I was Delonte West
She'd tell me Im too lame Im not thug enough
Well baby Im not "hard" but Im tough in love
She just waves me off and told me to get lost
But when she gets in relationship where she is an employ to a boss
Guess who's the first person that she calls
Because she knows the man who wanted to give her all
She mad and beaten down Im a have to kick her
Cuz as soon as I turn her down then Im gonna be another nigga
Life doesnt always work the way you want it
Sometimes life is dark and Im just coming back from it
So Im living it my own way no time to listen
Once something happens to me you run and get your tickets
My life ain't a movie so I don't need you critics
To me you on silent like you are some crickets
