The Life Of A Peacock Mantis Shrimp- By Tai Ali

2. Nobody said it would be easy, Being a Mantis Shrimp I’m naturally aggressive And that helps from time to time Being lower on the food chain that I’m trying hard to climb As you can tell, it is not easy Being a Mantis Shrimp

3. Nobody said it would be easy, Being a Mantis Shrimp Living in the ocean is a very scary place Filled with apex predators always eating at your face Yet I try to persevere, and its good that I am tough I guess you could call me a diamond in the rough As you can tell, it’s not easy being a mantis shrimp

4. Nobody said it would be easy, being a Mantis Shrimp I strike with the force of a .22 caliber bullet That’s Indeed, a cold hard fact And I could be more respected, but size is what I lack 15 inches makes me an easy snack I realized that, it is not easy, being a mantis shrimp

5. Nobody said it would be easy, being a Mantis Shrimp But my life span is over 20 years So I’ll try my best to survive Not an obstacle in the ocean can deprive my strive to be alive Nothing will… not a single thing But nobody said it was gonna be easy, being a Mantis Shrimp
