The Inspiration: Kodak Black [Poem]

JBlack,

Brutal Yungen,

Mr. Project Baby,

you put on well for

Florida

Broward County & Haiti

I wonder how you doing

since you’ve been out lately,

& hoping you move safe

& dodging 12 like Brady

you crucial to the culture

of a youngin’ from the south

real gator,

go-getter,

never looking for handouts

since finally you’re out,

show the world what you [really] bout,

don’t do it for the clout

just show the youth

a different route

you talented, your gift

on the mic, is heaven-sent

ain’t screw up when you blew up

now Broward’s more relevant

your influence

was prevalent

since Project

Baby,

& then you slid on

Heart of the Projects..

sum’n crazy

had me thankin’

like

“Is it just brah, or it’s the music?”

that question there,

no longer in doubt

with Institution

you silenced all confusion

spitting gems like you toothless

had everybody not second-guessing

who the truth is

so ruthless

the door to the top,

[they] left unlocked

that Gucci feature, it said

a lot

on Lil Big Pac

by then you kept the ball on rolling,

and it ain't dropped

a certified slider

outta

1800 Block

still you never stopped

a dropout,

but educated

A zoe boy

distinct Florida flows,

what you created

street n*gga,

fool with that pen,

but

ain’t never write no statements

then artistry

said

“Ion paint pictures,

I’m picture painting”

amazing,

how you would improve

inside the booth

did that song with KYLE

then Versatile [on]

Project Baby 2

slid like space coupes,

you outta this world...

ain't need no visa,

amnesia [they]

forgot about Plies

till y’all dropped FEMA

I seen ya,

tried fight Lil Wayne 😐

[you]

had no idea

how mad I was

‘cause

ain’t no way

I could pick between ya

but I forgave ya

when you dropped

Dying To Live...

a day after my birthday,

that,

I saw as a gift

& then they jammed you up

A year + for the bid

went the whole 2019

with no album from the Kid

then 2020 came,

you dropped an album called Bill...

is Real or Israel..

don’t know but

[it]

was solid as sh

ain’t rock w/Donald Trump

but I acknowledge what He did

he freed that Project Baby, dawg

minus the bib

Yak.
