Write me like I soung
En’less
Continuin’
Like uh dreem –
Ain’ nuh shure way tuh tell
Part I en’
Or begin
De las’ consonant soung
Doan mean de same ting tuh me
As it duz tuh you
In my langwidge
It soung like uh full sto(p)
In de middle uv uh t’ought
It soung like separation
But I like de feel uh familiarity
From words runnin’
One intuh de nex’
Doan try tuh correc’ me
Doan try tuh fit me
Intuh a schema you expec’
I ain’ ment tuh be easy
Fuh you tuh translate
Some tings ’bout me
Only I cuh say and mek sense
Write me like I soung
Den talk me out loud
So you cuh hear de music in me
