Okay, I hate to ask this again but I'd need one day extension...I've already written my verse but it got deleted by accident, it's almost 9 pm right now and I still have loads of stuff to do for school and other shit so I don't feel like no-showing but I won't be able to drop anything decent tonight...(have to think about those timezones a little too you know)...

Reality

Abandoned by my father,mom couldn't cope on her own
So by the age of fifteen I was forced to already act fully grown
Was working hard to protect the only woman in my miserable life
Tried to stay on right track but soul got attracted to the knife
Slowly went into the wrong direction,the open wounds of rejection
By the stranger I share my DNA with because of natural selection
Hustling to get food on the table,not thinking bout any decision
Dangerous collision of hatred n insecurity created blurred vision
But then suddenly the fog started rising as I looked in her eyes
The tears she disguised,her heart's been ripped apart by my lies
So I gazed within my core to discover what way I saw myself going
Started seeking for new thrill which I eventually found in flowing


Change

Addicted to the beat,straight spittin bout issues of the street
On hip hop I relied,keeping my head up high even after a defeat
Following right path again with this music as a passionate drive
No joking around though,had to get my name out there to survive
Sending around demos,desperately yearning for this one phone call
Or long awaited letter with news that could make me climb or fall
Kept reaching for the only definite escape out of this living hell
Approachin heaven but little did I know that I had to say farewell
To my old lifestyle,to the warm nest my mother worked so hard on
New world opened,filled with wealth,our poverty was suddenly gone


Heaven/Hell

Never could've imagined that the price to pay was gonna be this high
Entire life and being turned upside down,all in the blink of an eye
Jealousy and envy destroying the most profound friendship i ever had
Funny how life goes,look where I am now due to a pen and writing pad
But it's not what I thought it'd be,rap scene's never been so hostile
And as I see my momma's fake smile,I wonder if this is all worthwile
Because the loads of money don't solve the problems that lie beneath
No more respect in the hip hop game but I keep quiet n grit my teeth
Maybe I have been naive to believe I was approaching heaven's gates
Continue for my mother's sake although I'm caught up in dire straits
But heaven is just a foolish illusion created as a reason for dreams
That get shattered anyway because nothing is ever what it seems

I will vote on others if these aren't good...And if there are any questions about my verse, please ask them.

It's basically about a boy who had to struggle all his life and suddenly found an escape out of that hell in music which was his heaven. But in the end,it turns out his heaven was overrated...he got blinded along the way and when he finally got there,he realized that his dreams made it more perfect than it was in reality.Gave topic a little twist but I think it's more enjoyable to read than the predictable things...

"The Fall and Rise to Heavens Gates"



slain, body feals pain, aching I neal in vain
killed to gain, limbs numb, begin to feal lame
concealed my name from the devil that calls out
sprawed out, body lifts in air, spirit pull's about
I feal cool now, breeze begins over my skin
its over then, no flesh apon me, I'm glowin with in
no longer can feal my heart, no bones or muscles
my thoughts are puzzled, slowly my soul shall rustle
again the evil screams, I wish I knew there means
shadows of people seen, begin to glow and gleem
so as I rise, I shake, shiver and close my eyes
and remember bad thoughts and expose my lies
a million lost soul's pass me at the speed of light
fall sleep despite, darkness as the light creeps to night


I wake soon shaken, I ask was my fate mistaken
vision appears blurry, a person? whos face am I facing
lying on a dark flour, with dark walls, and a dark sky
my hearts shy, cant tell the truth's apart from lies
whos is this man showing all my faults through life
lies bring him closer, push him? the truth just might
so i confess my sins, my fear begins to rest with him
my chest is clensed, feal safe now, but the rest depends
on the choices left, no more screams, but still noises yet
I do not fear, cuz my soul feals rested , poised and set


The darkness fades, light shines, like sparkiling blades
the light starts to say, magical things, my heart is raised
I feal a sence of worth, newest feeling since my birth
its just in reverse, and no more tense fealings of hurt
could this have been a test, to send my sins to rest
no longer stuck in this world, that just depends on mess
cleansed, respectable, I begin to see a gleaming spectical
sounds of dancing and music, an amazing mystic festival
now i relize this is death, and now my spirit levetates
found gods kingdom, now its clear, this is heavens gates

sorry but im going with Babylon. Babylon won because his piece flowed, had structure but the desiding factor in all this he was creative and did more with the same amount of lines. Drama had good lines, structure, n flow. however there wasnt as much content as both were first person but babylon had more and looked at it with more first person. if ya need any more pm the kid...

v/ Babylon

Bab- The Great Thing About Your Verse Was Flow, And Imaginary. I Didnt Feel Much Emotion Coming From Your Verse. Good Vocab.


Drama- Like Always Emotion Was Good And Decent, Flowed Good. Imaginary Was Tight. The Only Thing That Stood Out In Your Verse Was Emotion. Good On The Vocab

I Gots To Give This To Drama, Cause In My Eyes, I Vote Who Has The Most Emotion In There Verse With Much Imaginary And Drama Had Both Category On Lock,wun.

WOW, what a battle here...incredibly close and Imma feel bad for whoever loses this.

Flow - Babylon Slight edge here to Babylon, just thought his stuff flowed smoother, with alot more internal rhymes. Just the way I read it. Drama flowed nicely too, just didn't have as many multis and such.

Emotion - Drama Extremely slight edge to Drama here. Lots of emotion from both on this, but on different levels I think. Drama showed the real struggle of trying to make it big, and wanting to help out mom, but then seeing that money didn't change things hurt real bad. Babylon did the piece perfect with emotion, not knowing where he was was scared, and with the way he wrote the lines the emotion showed.

Imagery - [i]Babylon[/b] Again extremely close to call. I was picturing part of Drama's piece but it was a bit shady. Babylon, had me picturing this dark place all the way through, and I was wanting to know who this dark figure was all the way through.

vote/ Babylon by the slimmest of margins.

50hater_killer 01-20-05 06:22 PM
