A Real Dope Rap

Sometimes, while eating my bologna, white bread, and miracle whip sandwiches, I imagine what my life would be like if it were different*. For example, if I were born during the Victorian Era, I would probably die from inhaling dust fumes during my 14 hour shifts at the garment factory. If I sailed about the Nina with Columbus, I would probably die from scurvy before even encountering a potato. If I were a hunter gatherer, I would most certainly be dead because my foraging skills are very, very poor. All in all, 21st century Ontario life suits me just dandy.

However, I think I could handle myself on the streets of Detroit. Another time, another identity, and I could successfully navigate the gang confrontations, drug deals, and rap battles of the underground hip-hop scene. I would have a doo-rag, and a posse of homedawgs, and a really dope name. Something involving 'lil' or 'shiz' or 'G'.

Lil' Shizabelle-G.

The streets would shorten it to something fly like 'Shiz'. I could roll wit dat. And when I did, I would rap. This is a taste of the Isabelle that may have been.


A Real Dope Rap
.......................
The diagnosis a miracle of verbal aphasia,
I rhyme the words in a rhythm so eloquent as to phase ya
if you propose my prose flows like a river i'll wager
that simile, tragically, is to pathetic to save ya
in Jedi terms, you're the ton-ton to my Mr. Darth Vader

A manifestation of the 21st century
The quintessential apprentice to Socrates
I drink hemlock and mock gods till the polis concedes
to lose Zeus in favour of my soliloquies
Pokemon Go! Fireblast that Butterfree!

Critical hit! Now your arguments are turning fallacious
Say like 'you be a white chick' doesn't do much to shake this
Seconds tick by on my rolex, waiting vexes my patience
As you stutter stutter fool, your frontal cortex is spacious
I'll end this game, euthanasia would be so much more gracious

oh yeah g.

*I realize that if my life were different, it would not technically be mine, but let's roll with this scenario.
