Eggplant

It's a Match!


He says hi

I'm like hey,


This is classic

What else can I say,


We go through the motions

And in my mind I'm reading between the lines

Because I know where this is going


It comes,

I'm just trying to hookup?


You cute,

So let me see wassup


Unfortunately your answer is negative in my test of judgement


Subpar you are,

And you lost me at naw I don't bend

Implying your sexual rainbow is monochromatic at end


I’m like naw, 

And he's like come on don’t be like that

Aren't you verse men bottoms in disguise?


Bet,


For those men who dare try and put me in a box,

Let me explain something to you


Nigga,

If you are not about that

Come and get me,

Ippy drippy,

Switch vicious,

Dope-A-licious

Now I Lay me,

Insany-Mani,

Ying Yang,

Drip Drop,

Sop Top,

turn you over,

Flip Flop,

Verse Type Shit…..

Then stay out of my DMs


So you wanna hook up? 

I get it,

But can you keep up,

Do you get it?!


I have no time for one trick nicks that demonstrate the role forced upon them

I wish not be bound by your internalized hetero normo that has manifested literal bedroom gloom


If you can't turn it over and make it bake

Give and take the cake,

Eat it till I get sick,

Flip it and make eggs benedict


Then stay the hell out of my DMs


If you can’t string me,

Bring me

Tie and abide

And make them legs divide


Why the hell are you here?


Again, can you keep up?


This ain't a Sundae

You Topping the cherry ain't enough,

This ain't Ma Rainey

You showing that black Bottom ain't enough,

This ain't soda

You screwing the Top ain't enough,

This ain't interest rates

You Bottoming out ain't enough,


You scared yet?


You should be,


It's all fun and games till,

I make it stand at attention

And take you to town

Magazine in my gun

And shoot bout my rounds


You,

Tap out 

Hell naw

Energy Found

Whose is it?

Expecting my name

Nonsense and moans are the sound

Watch you bitch up

Masc Dom my ass

Schooling yo writing

Welcome to verse class


Nigga you ain't ready


Breath,

Peak, 

Receive,

Take,

Flip,

Indulge,

Quiver, 

Shake,

Out of breath,

Too bad,

Drown,

Lake,

Run,

What,

Bring that ass back,

Quake



Make…

Your exit now


I'm not for you

Enough with your rant

If you can't give the peach

Keep your eggplant


Unmatch..that's fair.
