‘Street Poetry’ is a video released by the YouTube channel Rock Sound in which Tyler Joseph speaks out on his deepest thoughts and introspections in spoken word. The video was released prior to the release of their fourth album, Blurryface, and the lyrics were later crafted into the album’s leadoff...
[Verse 1]
There's an infestation in my mind's imagination
I hope they choke on smoke
'Cause I'm smokin' them out the basement
This is not rap, this is not hip-hop
Just another attempt to make the voices stop
Rappin' to prove nothin', just writin' to say somethin'
'Cause I wasn't the only one who wasn't rushin' to sayin' nothin'
This doesn't mean I lost my dream
It's just right now I got a really crazy mind to clean
Know what I mean?
[Verse 2]
No, I didn't understand a thing you said
If I didn't know better, I guess you're all already dead
Mindless zombies walkin' around with a limp an' a hunch
Sayin' stuff like, "You only live once"
Yeah, once you've got one time to figure it out
One time to twist and one time to shout
One time to think and I say we start now
Because death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit
