Workin' on a D&D-themed anti-transphobe diss track, delivered from the perspective of my characters from previous campaigns.

[LYRICS by Aran P. ink]

// VERSE (ROSIE)

Haulin' you back to the start
'cause you got no art!
you haven't got the heart of a fighter,
To hurt me you'll have to shine brighter!
Armor’s up, and I feel no pain ‘cause
I'm Daddy thicc, and my scales are stainless
hide your crimes like you're tryin' to forget 'em
you're pure white, but your bite's all venom
I'm all might with a silver tongue,
flame-licked and fork-tipped, Rosie gold plated

// VERSE (FORT)
I'mma big D indeed, on top!
Tryna bring the party, I'm a one-stop-shop
Citing every line in the theatre of the mind
spitting five rhymes at the same time like I'm Tiamat

I'm a boss I'm taking actions
poppin' off and I'm glarin' atcha
starin' back the character attacks that
you're casting en masse at my whole damn faction

I don't need a spell to detect you --
I can tell by the smell that infects you,
sulphur reek 'cause you're toxic, man,
you've been housing eggs with both hands

// CHORUS (FORT, ROSIE)
I think you're mean 'cause you're SAD and lonely
You think I'm weak 'cause I'm MAD? You don't know me
I got a stable of skills that I don't need
to beat a natural one-trick pony.

D&D - Stainless

[LYRICS by Aran P. Ink]
You think I'm talkin' a lot?
You think I'm hoggin' the spotlight?
I got rage in my gullet, breath like a bulette  
gun it non-stop or I'll drop dead

can't sleep for the beep of the clique
can't eat 'cause there's too much shit to do:
take shots and knock your block off
and slay the the walk-off
while I'm blocking your schlock with my off-hand
lead the charge like an ethical op-amp 
ride the beat like a nuclear clock  
keep time while I'm hiding my heart
and I'm rhyming your sharts on my "yes-and"s 
  
You make a mess without knowin' it
I wipe it off as I'm holding it down,
Shore up the spot while you're blowing it
wanted a hero, they sent us a clown,
you're the dead weight, and I'm towing it
watching the bags while you're fuckin' around
You're made of mistakes, and you get away with it 
'cause of my loud mouth!

[LYRICS: Not written by me! This poem was found somewhere on the internet and passed to me by a friend.]

Webbily, wobbly,
Timothy Berners-Lee's 
Hypertext network per- 
turbs me a jot. 

With its prolixity

This is a poem I wrote about my experiences with executive interference -- people with too much power making bad decisions that hurt people.

I've been working on more natural-sounding femme voices, and it seemed like a great time to try them out with a dramatic reading.

[Written by Aran P. Ink]
Flames beget the art
But the shame's the better part of me
Winter's here and Bonaparte's at the border
giving orders to march toward the heart of me
aim for the carotid artery

Throw salt until the snow's a sea of bodies 
plodding forward
Their parched lips parted for moment
'fore the fire dies 
And their eyes burn out with a hiss
They turn left and lock step, 
And at once they whisper "yes, Sir."

We're the best, sure
But they shit the nest before we've even built it
We can't fly because we filled it with our feathers
Gilded with our lives and with our letters,
Warmed it for the plans we laid together
But they're long gone, the shape's wrong, 
'cause King Kong went ape-shit 
ate our whole clutch 
and replaced it with a snake pit

LYRICS: 

Let's talk impostors: 
this whole flock is full of thought-leaders
chops of an actor with a bachelor's in mind-reading
we paint ourselves into a corner so they'll never see us
We hide for decades, then we stop they call us deceivers

but it's the opposite: we're finally being honest!
we're casting off the old disguises that were thrust upon us
buck the harness 'cause the promise is unjust
play the role forever just stay the trolls from harming us

the worst part? it works a little too well
can't fool the world without deceiving yourself first
the seeds of doubt have had a thousand days to flourish
and we nourish 'em by pouring out our worries in the fertile earth

what if it hurts?
what if I make it worse?
what if I don't deserve it?
what if my friends have had it
what if I can't hack it
what if my voice cracks
what if I fail
what if I bail out
what if I fuck it up? 
what happens if I'm not trans enough?

we can't answer, but we can make you stronger
fill your lungs with truth 
so you can hold on, and hold the tune longer
We'll prove that any song can fit you
fuck the what-if, we'll  lift you up so you can see beyond it

push yourself deeper: we know you're capable!
rumble like a lion king, sing until your pride is unmistakable
cradle hope inside your heart, 
you can seek a higher art and depart with a pocket lolita

you don't need to bargain for a seat on the hardship
you don't need a pardon, you've already done the hard shit
no hall pass, 'cause the whole class is coming with ya
They better run, we'll handle anyone who's fucking with ya

'cause we're the ones who get to choose,
Whether we win or lose, 
if we're the real-us or living a delusion
but that's life; the whole thing is an illusion 
just tell use who you are today
and I promise, we'll believe you.
