ORACLE OF THE CYPHER

Prodigy and phenomenon
Voice of a generation
Slain by addiction
Disembodied imagination

He flowed with beats
He thrived in musicality
Mac Miller built community
His craft boasts immortality

This oracle of insight
Intensely charismatic
A master of the cypher
His vision cinematic

The crew Most Dope
Pittsburgh’s fierce hope
Voicing complex emotions
Innovating hip hop tropes

Diverse strands of culture
Intertwined in integration
Vibing off 90s hip hop
John Lennon an inspiration

Visceral energy
Hip hop aristocracy
From frat rap to fine art
From bravado to mastery

He sipped that lean
Called it ‘heroin in a cup’
This cavalier addiction
Confusing love and drugs

So tethered to being positive
Could he fully name his pain?
What if he could have healed?
What if he could have stayed clean?

The harsh sting of lost love
Ariana said goodbye
She loved him but didn’t know him
Unhinged drug use his disguise

From drowning to swimming
Crafting circles of emotion
Earning the cypher’s devotion
Traversing cultural oceans

These words mark his ascension
Reaching the fifth dimension
We follow where his mind goes
Cultivating transcendent momentum

He wanted to give back
To fuck the system and break the law
Imagining a transformed culture
Foreseeing liberation’s dawn

Mac Miler spoke of revolution
Craving a new world order
His message transcends
His ethos undistorted

Oracle of the cypher
Inspiration his breath
Virtuoso of his craft
His legacy life after death
