I wanna be a writer, provoker of thought,
someone who writes some thing and you gotta read it twice.
I wanna write something, something so powerful,
you can't hold back, and you need to respond.
I wanna be hated on, plagiarized, envied,
because my shit’s so nice, other writers wanna copy me.
I want you to want to be like me but be afraid to admit it.
But it’s more than that because mainly I wanna express my thoughts, my views, my opinions.
I wanna write an expression, something that people say so much it becomes overrated.
I want you to remember my name.
But I don’t want my works to be used in any school except college.
Maybe in History but never in English class.
Cause I always thought K-12 was bullshit.
I wanna be an important mind of the early Twenty First Century.
I wanna write shit so head turning that my works are banned in some countries.
I want you to be in shock, because I said something you were thinking but to afraid to ask.
I wish I was secretly 15 right now and when I admitted that I was a youth you still respected my opinion.
I wanna be on talk shows, when controversial shit happens,
I want you to want my take on it.
I want authority figures to ban me, hate me, and march on me, because I speak the truth.
I want writers I respect to respect me.
I want you to ask for one thing, I give you another, but your still happy because it so good.
I want you to remember my name.
