This week's poetry jam is a tribute to the Jay-Z album, American Gangster which also doubled as a soundtrack for the Denzel Washington movie with the same title. Hope you enjoy!

Mentally of a Gangster
Tribute to Jay-Z
A combination of entertainment
And criminal lifestyle, publicly
Track 2, drug game coming up
Track 3, moving dope, this game is getting choked
For each and every ounce that brings these dollars about
It's American dreaming, that's all
Track 4, connect with the hometown
Arrival is here, other little drug runners in fear
Track 5, established a bit
Don't need a gimmick, no hook for this shit
Track 6, owning this game
Got that drug lord type of fame
Never going back, life will never be the same
Track 7, the life, bringing nephew in the game
This scenario needs to forever remain
Track 8, it's what you like
A queen for the king
You like what this game brings
Track 9, close the door on this
To the bedroom confined, it's that sexy time
Track 10, the heat is coming down
The enforcement is trying to surround
And lock it up forever
Track 11, they say it's a bad guy
But this dope game is so fly
Say hello when it's that time to buy
No idea what money's done to this guys mind
Track 12, these concerns its time to quell
Business took a hit, but it ain't shit
There's people paid to handle this
Track 13, things are looking mean
It's all coming down, locked up for years
Track 14, just can't believe
The aftermath is here
Legend it was, now this drug lord is done
