Confession Of A Ghostwriter

Updated: 9 hours ago

Everything isn't always as it seems


At your verbal battles

I play the shadows

even though I'm the creator of the tales you tattle


No one will ever know,

that not only do you not write -what you recite, but also

that you don't even possess your own flow


As long as you and I know what's real

I could care less about how you make others feel

even though my name isn't associated with your record deal

I still get half of that mill'


In your phone

you have me listed under unknown

in mine I have you listed as my rap clone


I'm just fine with our arrangement

because from where I sit

I'm 95% responsible for that platinum plus hit


Take me out of the equation

and there goes your power of persuasion

doing it your way is a thought you think during that heavy drinking occasion


I'm that safe bet

and though we have never officially met

connecting with me is a decision you'll never grow to regret


I brought about clarity

turned hope into prosperity


You were lost but found

the second you decided to pick me up, and the moment you put the pen down


I've studied this trade

learned from the missteps that were made

and for my effort, I received more than just a passing grade


I graduated best in my class

this is how you can go from last to first so fast

your bright future is due to my dark past


And there's never a need to feel some type of way

because there's a hundred more just like you that pay me to write what they say


I love playing with words, convincing them that they mean so much more than they were made to believe.-Henery X (long).
