I’m speaking with spoken word

Speechless when I speak

And outspoken when I’m heard

I’m speaking with spoken word

Speechless when I speak

And outspoken when I’m heard

A speaker seeking out verbs

In sneakers putting together words

Making a name for myself

And causing an uproar in this world

Generating a silent movement

Moving with vibrant students

With potent poetry with content

The kind that’s not so complex

That it conflicts with the intellect

I hope you can comprehend

It’s for the competent

And the ones with common sense

Not necessarily for common men

It gears to give you confidence

Some may say it contradicts

And counter collects and is not fully correct

It’s just counterfeit

But when I say what it is 

It sparks a light that is bound to ignite

The moving of students

In the silence of the night

Because speech is bright

And we can’t do anything

If all we do is fight

Wars overseas

Is making me see the light

We have got to unite

Or else we will just be

Single speakers speaking

Trying to start a movement

Where we can start moving students

Who are set to change the world

And cause their own uproar with words

Of knowledge and truth

Gearing to the youth

Then we will be uprooting the root

And planting new seeds of fruit

That is upright and stands for truth

That is why I’m speaking with spoken word

Speechless when I speak

And outspoken when I’m heard

Hoping to start such a movement

Like plate tectonics moving

Slowly but surly choosing

Changing and proving ourselves

To those who thought we weren’t improving

But soon my words will be soothing

When it comes to pass we’ll be rooting

But for now everyone needs to be speaking

Doing something to stop the leaking

Or else we will drown and be defeated

And your speaking doesn’t have to be in spoken word

It can be in any kind of words

As long as the message is there

We will be heard and that is our aim

Using our voice and vocals

To vocalize the certainty

And voicing the virtues of conformity

Eliminating the vice in the majority

And that is why

I’m speaking with spoken word

Speechless when I speak

And outspoken when I’m heard

Hoping to start such a movement

With speech
