    I'm not sure where to put this because it is definitely a rap and not really a poem, but close enough, I guess. It's a song about me wanting more money, stressing the pressure of getting out of poverty, and wearing clothes that help me look my best. I have the lyrics with the rhymes highlighted in the spoiler section below to highlight how much effort I put in my rhyme schemes when I rap and, man is highlighting rhymes a lot of work!

    [Verse #1]
    I'm dying to chill, as I find the will, to sit and study
    Where I'm buying a meal, with time to kill, with my buddies
    I rhyme with skill, on my grind for real, so lit and lovely
    I'm hoping to find a deal, my prime's revealed, to get the money
    Unwind the plan, I'm kind of saying, I wanna live in a finer land
    Trying my hand, as I command, the buying of designer brands
    Since, to be honest, this life is kind of bland, I'm not a fan
    Master supply and demand, and living life high and grand
    Clothes shopping is a passion of mine, with fashion in mind
    Passing the time, to make sure that I'm flashing and fine
    My actions define, treating others with compassion in kind
    If you got that irrational mind, get to the back of the line
    I'm on a mission, duly, to earn bread, to get my grip in order
    And in addition, cutie, I turn heads, like I'm flipping quarters
    Above average, and savage passage when getting cabbage
    And I would never keep it passive until I'm Living Lavish because

    [Chorus]
    Getting paid is a habit, I stay with that cabbage
    Wanna get paid like I played with the Mavericks
    Make money appear by the day like it's magic
    Ensure that my cake is good
    So I'm escaping the hood
    I don't want to stay where's ratchet
    I'm trying to look great, and slay like the baddest
    Everyday, I gotta pray I'm Living Lavish

    [Verse #2]
    I've been newly alerted, my bank account is cruelly deserted
    I slacked, and crudely diverted my plan to get my lucci inserted
    It made me moody and nervous, but I coolly preserved it
    Then shrewdly exerted to do me a service, and I truly deserve it
    Not much I won't do for the treasures in my future endeavors
    I'm subdued by the pressure, to get that future together
    Poverty is disease that eats us, and with ease, they tease us
    Success won't concede to greet us, keep our greed beneath us
    Our needs defeat us, and death is pleased to meet us
    But as we get cheese to appease us, we can split seas like Jesus
    At the shopping mall, I never opt to stall, wanting to cop it all
    Rocking name brands that will drop your jaws, as you stop in awe
    After earning a flurry of pay, I'm in a hurry to slay
    Guys shoot their shot like Curry and Klay; I'm looking hotter than early in May
    Above average, and savage passage when getting cabbage
    And I would never keep it passive until I'm Living Lavish because

    [Chorus]
    Getting paid is a habit, I stay with that cabbage
    Wanna get paid like I played with the Mavericks
    Make money appear by the day like it's magic
    Ensure that my cake is good
    So I'm escaping the hood
    I don't want to stay where's ratchet
    I'm trying to look great, and slay like the baddest
    Everyday, I gotta pray I'm Living Lavish​

    The funny thing is, the player actually has the option to challenge Ryme to a rap battle. lol I selected the rap battle option, but Ryme just laughed it off and assumed I was joking. I was serious. 😐

    Not yet, but I am working on it. I'm making beats and I'm in the process of recording both raps and songs.
