VIDEO: SULI BREAKS – R.I.P (SPOKEN WORD VIDEO)

February 18th, 2011

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.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE POEM/VIDEO??
