Analysis of Beyond The Trap
Like clubs inside my golf bag
each verse a different face
Some to drive straight down the course
others lift and then embrace
My swing is then adjusted
as words take off and fly
And landing safe beyond the trap
—to make the devil cry
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)
