IMMORTALIZED: a tribute to the prophetic work of Gil Scott-Heron
love and rage
took the stage
speaking truth
eschewing fame
inscribing pain
abusing veins
rebel poet
living wraith
harlem streets
never clean
seductive highs
pure dopamine
kick it quit it
never sticking
rhyme and rhythm
ever kicking
shining star
badly scarred
edge of glory
gone too far
science dropping
never stopping
black jesus baby
poet and prophet
his holy word
a dream deferred
hip hop's great
progenitor
truth unfurled
in meter blurred
from gotham
to johannesburg
forever real
words of steel
rest in peace
brother gil
televised
magnetized
revolution
immortalized
