Check out this spoken word video from London based poet SULI BREAKS, where he flips the acronym R.I.P many different ways. We also have the poem written out below for you to check out:
To them I say R.I.P
But when I say R.I.P,
I don’t just mean REST IN PEACE,
I mean REWIND IT PLEASE
So we can REMAIN IN PEACE.
I had to READ IT PROPERLY
To get it RIGHT IN PERSPECTIVE,
because we RESIDE IN POVERTY
but don’t want RIGHTS IN PROPERTY.
We would rather ROB INNOCENT PEOPLE
because he gains RESPECT IN POPPING ME,
that is a REAL IGNORANT PHILOSOPHY.
We need to REJECT IT’S PROPHECY
Stand up and R.I.P
REP IT PROPERLY!!!
Because RAH IT’S PEAK,
went from RICE IN PEAS
to RIFLES IN POCKETS
RUNNING INNER-STATE PROJECTS.
“RAH, IT’S a PAR”
turns to RIOTS IN PARKS
RAH, I’M PEED
REMEMBER I PLEAD
the REALNESS I PREACH.
We have REMINDERS IN PRESENT.
Why do you think the Damilola Taylor Centre,
R.I.P.
REMAINS IN PECKHAM?
RISE IN POSITION
Life
REMEMBER IT’S PRICE,
Because you say
“RUDEBOWY, IT’S PRINCIPLE”
but REALLY IT’S PRIDE!
RAH, I’VE PREACHED
REMEMBER IT PLEASE
But if you don’t. just remember this piece
So next time you hear me say R.I.P
Know that I don’t just mean REST IN PEACE,
I mean REWIND IT PLEASE
So we can REMAIN IN PEACE.
