Shaolin Freestyle/Poetry 101


“Seasonal Fall”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

The sun sets quicker than usual

Fading away behind dark grays

Suddenly things abruptly change

A howl can be heard above trees

 

As the wind blows leaves around

Colored maple leafs fly everywhere

With no destination found

Except their landing place doesn’t stick

 

Floating around up and down

Zig zagging like a trippy maze

That has no logical end

Only a place of season

 

Flowers begin to lose luster

Still hanging onto summer

Though mother nature starts

Taking over for good

 

Kids play in parks until dusk

Laughing and screaming in venture

Making it last longer

Cause they know it ain’t forever

 

Beach days are still here

But pretty soon will disappear

Leaving kids and adults empty

Oh just wait till next year

 

The sound of music can be heard

Echoing throughout parks

As shouts rain down from swings

While seagulls call out in despair

 

If only it could last some more

If only Fall ain’t knocking on the door

September lurks in the shadows

School bells blare out like rattles

 

Can still smell the taste of barbecues

Sucking in the hickory smoke

Reminding us of being free

Without no troubles to stress

 

Yes, it’s what we love best

If only it didn’t fly west

Rain drops begin to fall from way above

Soon steadying into a set of drums

 

Followed by heavy pitches

As thunder and lightning take center stage

The downpour foreshadows what’s coming

Leaving everyone bumming

 

The heatwave’s about to close

No more pool days in this town

Instead it’s forest hangouts

And straight chilling in rooms

 

Still plenty of laughs had

Only a different scene

That’s no longer timeless

Time to lay back and dream

 

As August shuts down

We reflect on a banging summer

Filled by rollercoaster screams

Followed by Kool Aid magic grins

 

It might be over for now

But the show shall return

Envigorating everyone

It’s far from done

“Pain”
D Flex
 
The feeling ain’t the same
Haven’t felt right since you left
Cause girl, you drove me insane
Now I’m just lost in love debt
 
You were the one
Who made it real
Everything with you was fun
You know the deal
 
 
Never lost my heart’s desire
But then you just disappeared
Leaving me like a liar
Was all good till it went weird
 
Look at the pain you caused
Destroying my belief
Now you’re the female Jaws
Eating me up causing more grief
In so much pain
From your vanishing act
In so much pain
What you did was wacked

Still see your face everyday
Laughing, smiling like a star
Can’t quite get the pic away
Instead, your giggle heard very far

No longer does it sound like heaven
But rather Hell’s angel
Enjoying this chaos at 11:11
Damn could this get any stranger

I’ve heard murder was the case
But going MIA has me dazed and confused
Don’t know where to start cause you didn’t leave a trace
Like our love was your riddle and I had too much booze

Got a hangover that just won’t leave
It’s like the Jewish legend 40 days 40 nights of rain
If only I could find some way to believe
Instead feel the pounding of alcohol leaving me in pain

In so much pain
No longer got the spark
In so much pain
Everything just turned pitch dark

Why’d ya have to go away
Without warning creating my personal haunting
Now I feel like the groundhog every day
See your shadow leaving me wanting

It’s like I’m chasing a ghost
That don’t exist
And somewhere your laugh is heard making a toast
While I run aimlessly around in circles all twisted

I can feel ya all around smiling
In laughter as I play your game
Pretty sure I saw you in a mirror styling
When it was just ya dancing in my brain

Now I’m on a rollercoaster
That might never end
Seeing your breathtaking poster
As I fly around the bend

In so much pain
That I see you everywhere
In so much pain
You’re not real and I lost my chair

Now I’m just a basketcase
Waiting to get psychoanalyzed
The doc takes one look and runs away from my face
Afraid that he’ll get paralyzed

You got your wish
Making me crazy
Now I’m lost at sea like a fish
And everything’s hazy

If I could just see ya once more
Everything would be alright
Be like unlocking your door
And we’d make it out of sight

But that shall never be
Cause you’re like a runaway train
Once so easy to see but now just misery
No wonder I’m in so much pain

In so much pain
Cause I can’t see your face
In so much pain
Now it’s just an empty space

“Your World”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

 

All I can do is see you

On this cool summer night

Your dark hair blowing around

Like an ocean breeze

 

Your eyes magnets

Attracting ‘em all

Like glue they want you

The same way I desire

 

Your precious smile

Lights everything up

Burning like fire

Ready to love

 

Your face oh so pretty

Painted gold and white flowers

That can brighten our day

And make it worthwhile

 

You got a magic charm

That makes you rock

When you’re on stage

It’s your show

 

No one does it better

Which explains your zone

One that makes you loved

Forever and always

 

When you talk

People listen

Hanging on every word

Cause it’s from the lips of an angel

 

That’s what keeps me up at night

Easily see images of you floating

Way high in the sky

Smiling and dancing like Tinkerbell

 

Telling us it’ll be alright

Giving us someone to believe in

In a world filled with deception

Didn’t imagine it damn your real

 

And that’s what matters

Can still see you in the blink of an eye

Going from emptiness to excitment

You’re the one who makes it fun

 

Your kiss like fireworks

Igniting my heart

Racing to a new extreme

Knowing you’re worth it

 

More powerful than money

Cause you’re a star

That shines bright day and night

Good God what a holy sight

 

You can never lose at life

Too smart, sexy and shiny

Painting it all red

Simply put you’re a work of art

D Flex

 

You look skyward at the moon

Glowing a golden pear

Surrounded by rainbow heaven clouds

Reaching out as if you can touch its floating dimension

That magically brightens the night

Stars lighting up like Broadway

With spotlights all around

And everyone’s just waiting for it to go dim

And then the curtains shall unfold

Into a stage worthy of God’s angels

Creating a perfect night

That will leave us all breathless

“Emptiness”
D Flex

Just one of those nights
When nothing goes right
Fuck the summer heat
Damn I feel beat

Ain’t from the lack of air
Rather a feeling of despair
Yesterday, was on a roll
But where did that go

The emptiness can be felt inside
A pained face I can’t hide
There’s no faking this
Right now feels like the abyss

If you see a frown
That’s cause I’m down
It’s hard to express why
Just want to go away and fly

Emptiness comes and goes
Unfortunately it’s not saying no
I’m lost completely
Can’t seem to solve this maze
Emptiness please rid me of your craze

The mood is somber
Filled with regrets
Guess there’s no escaping
This crashed jet

Been living a lie
For far too long
Starting to question why
On how I went wrong

Was never my intention
To fuck shit up
But who was paying attention
As I take another shot from a cup

Sometimes, we make mistakes
That can really haunt
It’s when the tension breaks
Where you can’t say so fucking what

Emptiness is like a knife
Always there to stab you
Bringing more pain
How much more can you endure
Before you scream out and roar

This is the bed I made
Deal with it everyday
It would be nice to trade
Can’t quite get my way

It’s buried deep in the sand
Like a treasure
Only this one has no stand
Nor pleasure

There’s no running away
From this bad mood
Emptiness is having its way
Doing more harm than good

It can cut ya in two
Dividing your heart
Enjoying it as if it already knew
Before the start

Emptiness is like the Devil
Sneaking up when you least suspect
Igniting your fire
As the flames burn
You begin to turn

Avoid looking into Satan’s eyes
Armed with evil riddles
And packs of lies
Think something good Sour Skittles

Taste the rainbow
To free your mind
Feel the magic glow
And then you’ll find

The spirit you had before
Shall finally rise
Time to slam emptiness’ door
And be real wise

Don’t ever give in
To its disturbing plot
Time to fight and win
Taking our best shot

Emptiness still exists
But has been pushed away
Showing I have strong will
And shall persevere
Knowing full well it’s all out there

“Flex Freestyle”
D Flex
 
My name is D Flex
And I’m here to stay
Coming at ya
Like every single day
Going hard
To the extreme
Getting down
In funky ass jeans
Always flowing and glowing
Like the moon above
Showing ya ‘ll love
I’m Bob Marley
Calling for peace and harmony
I’m Jimi Hendrix
Singing about Purple Haze
In a cloud of smoke
That could go on for days
Robbing Vic Wertz like Willie Mays
I’m Joe Namath guaranteeing victory
An upset for the ages
It’s Cassius Clay over Sonny Liston
Turning history pages
It’s JFK edging Nixon
Even if it wasn’t on the up and up
But the other a crook
It’s all that and more
With puffy whites staring down
Knock knock knockin’ on Heaven’s door
I’m like Ali
Raising my arms to feel the roar
Of a crowd driven insane
Raising the roof
And giving some proof
Cause that’s what it’s all about
So stand up, 
scream and shout
That’s how we feel
Which makes us real

“Out Of Sight”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

You can stack chips
Get tips
But what if you lose
Cause your drunk off the booze

Dazed and confused
Seeing angels in circles
Laughing at you cause you refused
To drop the bottle

Now you’re just a sucker
Without your head
Making wrong moves
Getting hustled may as well be dead

It’s time to pack up
And go on home
If you can actually find a ride
You’re looking around with nowhere to hide

Face flush as can be on fire
From Jack Daniels with Grey Goose your best friend
Along with tonic and gin
No wonder you can’t win

Nothing’s gone right in this smokey room
You don’t got a penny
It just wasn’t your night
Out of mind out of sight

“Summer Heat”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

At the crack of dawn

The heat is on everyday

Sun burning down

Like desert clay

 

You feel it as soon

As you rise up

Could be high noon

About to melt in a cup

 

Forcing us to lose concentration

Heartbeat on fire

Wishing for a snow mountain

A chill place fulfilling your desire

 

If only we could get away

To heavenly waterfalls

Sure would brighten our day

Where paradise calls

 

Instead we’re stuck

In the summer heat

Dry as can be

Feeling a little beat

In Hell’s misery

 

Satan’s laughing his ass off

As if this is a cruel joke

Enjoying our wrath

Bodies about to smoke

 

May as well be lit

Barbecued, fried, cooked

No wonder we feel like shit

Everyone incredibly shook

 

H2O is our medicine

That gets us through

Overcoming the sun villain

That way we stay cool

 

It’s just a matter

Of trying to survive

Pushing forward

As we stay alive

 

Yes we’re caught

In the summer heat

Feeling the flames

Fighting ourselves

While praying for rain

 

The sky so unforgiving

May as well be a vacuum

Deterring the driven

To call for help soon

 

But that’s not what we’ll do

Can’t give in

To the Devil’s sun

We must be strong and remain true

 

It’s either become his victim

Or fight the battle

Demonstrating resiliency

Let’s ride now strap on your saddle

 

Warriors we are

In defiance of an evil fury

Creating our own folklore

En route to glory

 

Facing an uphill climb

In the summer heat

Meeting the challenge

Despite triple digits

Damn right we got courage

 

Sun no longer intimidating us

Got our super soakers ready

Turning the tables on Satan

Now who’s real angry

 

Devil’s advocate

Getting a taste of his own fun

Losing his controlled climate

About to be done

 

As we aim and fire

Splashing water everywhere

This gun’s for hire

Putting Hell into fear

 

About to close the book

On our evil foe

Drowning is all it took

To close the show

 

For some time

We were in summer heat

But got off the mat

With vigor defeating

That black cat

Flex: “The Message”
by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

Always been seen
A certain way
Expected to be
The same played out play

But what you see
Might actually
Be a mirage
Of how I really am

Another side
Is buried inside
Waiting to get out
Only most don’t know

Being front and center
Has its drawbacks
People whisper
Yeah, real wacked

You’re the ones
Who come off
Completely fake
Ready to stab me in the back

This ain’t a game
I want anymore
Time to be true
Instead of your cure

Can’t be everything
For ya’ ll 24/7
Yeah my wings break
Longing for an escape

It’s like a character
Who changes before our eyes
Done taking calls
Ready to live or die

That’s me to a tee
On this hot summer night
Just let me be free
Like a flock of seagulls in full flight

I want to fight
For what I believe in
Time to make it right
Instead of wondering what could’ve been

So go ahead
Do what you do best
And laugh it up
For God sakes give it a rest

Flex is ready
To move on from the chaos
Showing ya how heady
Ignoring the murderous

Sometimes you gotta
Remember who you are
Yeah rise up
And be that star

I’ll be the one
Flying real high
Lighting shit up
No asking why

The kid who never forgot
Where he came from
Ready to get caught up
And be the prodigal Jew son

Long overdue
To get back to my roots
It never died
Deep down I always knew

Let this be a message
A sign of things to come
Cause I’m moving forward
Like the chosen one

Gonna be wild
The rest of the way
I’m rolling the dice
Doing things my way

“Fly Girl”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex

 

All this time later

Can still see your precious face

Oh so close

Grinning at me with style and grace

 

Your eyes like a magnet

And I’m glued to them

Like two golden stars

That just sucks me in

 

Your smile as bright as the moon

Just mesmerizing me

To the point of no return

Tasty sweet like Nestle

 

Your hair so silky smooth

It could pass for magic

Attracting me instantly

Like the rockstar you are

 

Yeah you a fly girl

One of a kind

Who makes me lose control

Yeah you a fly girl

That makes me blush

Heart’s on fire for your flow

 

You had me from Day One

Flirting the whole time

As if you’re teasing

But God damn your what I’m needing

 

You strutting away

Like the star you are

Damn near impossible not to stare

Leaving me breathless cause that’s your way

 

Now you’re laughing

Cause you got what I desire

It’s all a game

Like playing with fire

 

Don’t even care

Girl you so fly

I’m walking on water

On a new eternal high

 

Yeah you a fly girl

The one whose gold

Never loses its luster

Yeah you a fly girl

Don’t care if you got a man

I just want to know ya

 

Yeah you got the look

That quenches my thirst

One sip and I’m hooked

Tasting your Starburst

 

That’s all it would take

Making things right

Much better than cake

So let’s make it out of sight

 

You nod your head yes

And flash that Kodak grin

All I can think is you’re blessed

Time to get it in

 

But there you are

Still laughing it up

Cause you’re like crack

One shot in a cup

 

Yeah you a fly girl

Rising to the top

The cream of the crop

Yeah you a fly girl

Floating way above

Spreading wings of love

 

Already on Broadway

The star of the show

Spotlights on ya

Carrying a magical glow

 

Leaving us speechless

At what you caused

You love the attention

Better not pause

 

In the blink of an eye

You could be gone

Leaving grown men to cry

Singing sad songs

 

That’s your aura

Which drives me insane

Can never be too sure

No wonder you’re all over my brain

 

Yeah you a fly girl

The one who

Toys with hearts

Yeah you a fly girl

No matter what

You’ll always be that spark
