I, for one, get pretty amazed at rappers who take the time to create textual masterpieces! Eminem being the first to come to mind. This is a little something I put together several years ago and found again recently. Definitely unfinished and I don't even have a name for it yet, but that will come... eventually
As always, comment with thoughts and critiques!
"
I've been thinking like
this pen and paper's my only companion
But oh wait, has it been?
I choose to refuse to open
up to those closest to home
I say they've failed me
before
Oh yeah, well who hasn't?
We're all in the same
place, we're all social hazards
I do it to you, you do it
to me, but after all you've always cared
So I guess I've just too
blind to see
I've been living selfishly
with this notebook all to myself
Grieving alone like I
don't want to hurt no more, I push you out
This self-pity glues me
down
I can't get out, and I
keep writing these songs like they'll set me free
Oh, but could it be
That the more I listen to
the sound of the words of my mouth run out
The more I'm trapped in
their sound
The more self-focus
abounds
So if I were to listen to
the music from the hearts of others
Tell me could I recover?
If I choose to reuse my
experience and learn from the hurt
Maybe others would start
doing the same but even if they don't
We're still in the same
boat
We've all been used or
abused, chewed out or called the issue
So I'll skip the tissue
I've been reliving for too
long; self-evaluating in every song
I can acknowledge the
problem without substituting words for people
Graphite making me feeble
We're all a bunch of
hypocrites lying and evil, needing love
Thank God love is enough
My past is pathetic, I
regret it, but look where I'm headed
I turn my eyes ahead and
off of my scars and myself
Because my card has been
dealt
My old self is already in
hell but the new me is homeward bound
I lay me in the ground
every morning and yet I live
Not all strength is within
Reflection is essential for grown but not a
place to live"
