country twang meets harlem swing
an old town road to the world we begin
marinating and meditating
fornicating and innovating
enjoying the beat driving hard and synced
summoning the will to nurture and the will to resist
this poem is an ode to the dynamo known as lil NasX
he spits rhymes that inspire us to flip our wrists and raise our fists
he is a vessel for the fusion of genres beginning to coexist
he is a super-fly black queer arising like a phoenix in our midst
it’s time for a holiday: its time for a celebration
it’s time to probe the undercurrents in our polarized nation
the matrix of pop culture gives birth to new creations
this country hip hop fusion cultivates an antidote to white supremacy that writhes in gestation
