De$erve by Taylor Napolsky




people complain about poems 
Being too long, 
         They only like short poems


         yea it’s called having an actual attention span
Because your brain’s not 
Absolutely cooked


         I am fried


I’ll make a dispositive statement 
just because I get to use that word, dispositive
Which makes me feel smart


        I am learning


I am learing, Learing Center,
And starting a company


        I will start a company with you 
                And then kick you out 
                                on some snake shit,


People owe me money 


          Everyone in the w$rld owes me money
          Cuz guess what I deserve
