seeing all these comments are super sweet, he teaches my acting class at the university I go to and he's super cool and an amazing actor, you go Steven!!
The transition from the euphoric “I’m a hit!” to the horrified “I’m hit!” hit me so hard I had to get up and take a few laps around my living room. Dark, yet profound shit. Steven Willis is the GOAT
"big momma, her baby boys got his own hymn now." killed me, it cut me so deep i started choking and bawling, one moment fine and the realization of what he said destroyed me. Beautiful.
And just so you know, I'm not sure what i am doing 23 years after the night of my brother Bobby's suicide but I create compulsively so I don't destroy everything else. And I look for you, the writers who are not stoppable with the tongues like a lie detector spitting up the truths, blowing ink blowing ink, turning senseless bloodshed in the air finding a new Gutenberg and stepping up to the ages, wireless casting and no not for fish but the other future when you finally got the chance to realize how to make reservations for now, write yourstory, our story thistory.. I went to a funeral for a black man today and he was young and old and he was non violent in the way of a violent space in time. My brother Bobby fought for a war and he got a purple heart and the war never came back from him. I was bought out of my record label deal for the first offer I made as a joke and I have been a professional never been coulda been has been before I saw thirty-one. Now I have a ghost and a lot more memories of my life than the actual people and landmarks which built them. But I am not going anywhere. I live in the circuity and I listen to you and I roar and crackle in rapture to feel more vitality to the world. Create. Be. Tell me that you are...
This man is a standing ovation itself! Powerful message that every man should acknowledge before thinking Hip hop of today... Is the life we suggested.

By the way I am a 20 year old guy who’s having my 1st poetry book published in around a month if not less. I’d really appreciate it if you’d keep an eye out for it, tell your friends and give it a go. You don’t have to if you don’t want to, I don’t mind, but I’d still really appreciate it. It’ll be online on amazon and in shops in the uk too. Here’s one poem I wrote earlier for my grandad who sadly past away last night. For my dearest grandad My inspiration My family My life and joy You have lived a wonderful life Filled with adventures and excitement You were always so strong and dependable We will all remember you always And think of all our memories we’ve shared From wheeling me around in a wheelbarrow as a child to patting me on the back when I got my first job we all love you so much remember that forever and always rest in peace my dear grandad❤️xxxxx
Thank you for making this poem!!! I’ve always felt this way but could never put it into proper words and didn’t feel comfortable doing so because I’m a woman. Great piece 😩🙌🏾
I just needed to release what was felt through this spoken word my Brother. My body pumps with the life you spoke of. This is phenomenal. Incredibly phenomenal . Thank you.
This is one of my favorite videos, its built so well and everything flows amazing until the final moments. Its a genuine masterpiece in my opinion one of the videos I feel like would still be great in ten or fifteen years.
