"....it's like, I don't know how to act
It's like, my Feared 100 class just flunked my..
It's like, I been Keanu Reeves's understudy for the past year and a half
It's like, I'm a full fledged member of the 90210 cast
It's like, I'm OJ sayin 'Yeah, I'm a find those killers fast!'
It's like, I'm Naymor sayin 'Yo, I'm serious you're gonna get your cash'
It's like I'm trying to cover up my pain with laughs

See me and irony, we go way back
You can keep us exchanging insults and snaps on 8-track
but once the laughter dies down I'm always the one who has to face the fact
And finding method in this madness is like a needle in a haystack
A needle--take that!
Tooken, good one

You know what? Irony
I've come to the realization that laughter ain't the best medicene
It's just a primitive form of novacaine
This kid is to live long and know the pain
So while substances flow thru the vein of my father
to control his brain
I'm resistant from the x's etched on my back,
written sober and plain

I'm a go to your grave, before I die
at least one time
I promise, but to be honest
I'm just not ready for the puchline"-----------Sage Francis

It's hard to believe that was a freestyle because it is so sophisticated and interrelated, but amazingly I'm pretty sure it is. It's like a poetry freestyle. I'm just in awe everytime I hear one of his freestyles.
