let me holla at you

Fresh Out   C.B.L.

My poem, “Beware, the Fair-Weather Friend.”

Keep your friends close, and your acquaintances in your pocket.
Keep that locket under your shirt, someone could snatch your heart off your neck.
A person who is only there when they need something
would rob you blind and organize the search for evidence.
Someone grinning from ear to ear in times of benevolence –
a fat cat conditioned to appear at my feet when it’s time for treats.
This person shows up just for the cake,
but remember kitty cats are lazy and won’t clean up after the party.
The person who only uses you to get close to your other friends
won’t hang with you through thick and thin.
You were just a rental.
Your time shared was always a means to an end.
Fear and insecurities create tunnels before the eyes.
Some prefer to fall back, rather than hear a new point of view.
A person who needs to control the narrative of the relationship,
will burn bridges rather than compromise.
Your window of opportunity is narrow,
stop everything you’re doing for the forgetful and the flighty.
A pleasure seeker won’t stick around if they’re not entertained.
Make sure to distract with bright lights and fun games.
A person who doesn’t take ownership for their actions
turns everything against you make flaws known and
says you’re attacking them. Just walk away,
they’ve never been held accountable until now.
A person who’s awfully fake; not two but three-faced,
invents personalities for different cliques
and terminates relationships when exposed.
Stay on alert: keep your eyes open and your heart closed.
So, don’t trust me, please. I’m not wood to lean on.
I won’t help you move, I won’t even dog sit.
You can’t borrow sugar from me, even though I am your neighbor
​Don’t ask me for any favors.
​I’ve become the very thing I despise,
​A wolf dressed in a dear friend’s clothing, smiling just to get by.
​I’ve been battered and taken advantage of by too many.
​Now I’m the fair-weather friend, now I’m the turtle dove.

Imah X was born Naimah Jaonee Bahar in Philadelphia, PA to her loving parents Paulette and Talib din Bahar. Both her parents had a passion for music so Imah X spent many of her younger years surrounded by it. She has been shaped by many experiences in her life including the loss of her father when she was 7 years old, in a tragic violent crime. It only served to make her more aware of the world and a stronger individual. Growing up in a single parent household wasn't easy but her mother worked hard to provide for her and her older brother.

Before she discovered her talent for rapping, she wanted to be a singer. She wrote her first song in 4th grade as part of a singing group she started with a few other girls in her class. 
In 6th grade, Imah moved from her home in Germantown to Overbrook Park. However, Imah quickly found her niche in the new environment. A few of her classmates rapped and that was when Imah X first decided to write rhymes. She quickly gained the respect of her classmates and even rapped on the Apollo stage during a 6th grade trip to Harlem.

In 7th grade she started at the Episcopal Academy, she continued rapping and also writing R&B songs. There she met Bryant, a producer, and they quickly became good friends.When Bryant approached Imah and Ted about joinin his crew Imperial they were both with it. Bryant already had a frienship with Young Quick and thats how Imperial began. Later that year they were joined by rapper Tymier Butler aka Lucifa.

Since then Imah X completed an intimate 6 track album titled World's Weight for her Senior project. In the fall of 2007 she began college and made the relationship with her Imperial family long distance. She began working with G'Durban music and she joined the Griot a spoken word group in her second year.

Her solo album, Stratus-Fear has recently been released. This and her mixtape titled "No Floors" are available for free download at Datpiff.com
