Words are a powerful tool of inspiration, and a recent spoken word poem by actor and writer Dhruv Uday Singh proves this. The piece titled, ‘Tell Me I Can’t Do It’ encapsulates the drive and ambition of a man against the discouraging words of naysayers.
In the three-and-a-half-minute poem, Singh encapsulates the determination of forging your own path even if the odds are stacked against you. Expressing this feeling, he recites, “Tell me I can’t do it, the odds are almost none. What does the number mean to the king of a queen, I know that I’m the one.”
Singh also critiques everyday racism and microaggressions faced by brown people and raps, “Tell me I can’t do it, ‘your melody is too high’. Your biased eyes can’t stop my rise, it’s brown guys’ time to fly. Tell me I can’t do it, brown man can’t shine that bright. Chocolate chip and glass of milk, brown stands out on that white.”
The actor performed the impactful mix of rap and spoken word poetry at The Yard Theater in Los Angeles, USA. His vocals were accompanied by beats of tabla and drums played by Neel Agrawal.
