Dreams of my life........more like reoccuring nightmares
Street wars,body scared,and cops who dont fight fair
Prison bars,lifes hard,and the world is a battlefield
And everything you belive in does'nt matter here
Sinners who judge sinners and pass down judgement
And everyday I wonder where the fuck God's love is
I guess the weed smoke in my temple leaves my prays unseen
Screams of my victims a screeching lyllabye in my dreams
It seems........like i count sins instead of sheep
And spend less time asleep then actually trying to sleep
They say you die when you sleep but really you live
Over and over again all the things that you did
My life is posion and i feel the venom run through my veins
As i stand in my own hellfire wishing for rain
The pain is insane but its never enough........
.....to kill me before its all over and my body wakes up
So sleep is the enemy and im trying to beat it
But sleep is a patient foe,no chance i'll defeat it
My body needs it.......my soul does'nt agree
Because everytime I sleep I look in a mirror of me
And I see what I dont want to see or admit
Because I dream of my life and my life ain't shit

Dreams of My Life...

Rainbows and puffy clouds trap my vision till it's blurry...
Galaxies swirling about stars spinning in they're fury...
Dreams are over rated visions, make a man stand tall...
How can man dream so big, when man is so small..?

As a youth I dreamed of being a man of knowledge...
My life long dream was to grow up and go to college...
My road was gravy, the entire thing had been paved befor me...
It made my story, I strived to be great and taste the glory

Dreams of my life...

Call me wierd...but I dont dream to manage the physics...
Don't dream about money, I dream the planet's existence
I used to be a dreamer, they were way too few of me...
Now a dream is a kids thing, it exists to only humour me
I can't tell whats real, I smoke alotta weed it helps...
Dreams of my life.....? Maybe life is a dream itself...
I AM a dreamer...you will have faith as you gaze my eyes...
These days surprise, people drownding in a haze of flies
You would be amazed at the ways that people dream...
Hitler's wet dream...hearin people scream at night made him cream
The definition of a dream can be forgotten to men...
A dream is forever a goal for those who haven't gotten theirs yet...

Dream of My Life...

Rainbows and puffy clouds trap my vision till it's blurry...
Galaxies swirling about stars spinning in they're fury...
Dreams are over rated visions, make a man stand tall...
How can man dream so big, when man is so small..?

Understand that I am a dreamer, a title deeming it fits...
In a world as dark as ours, the fog obscening with mist
Dreaming is believing...so what kind of dreaming is this..?
This is more of a nightmare...fuck dreams I don't believe in that shit...

Quick drop good luck man.

not bad man, long time no see. I like your writing style, the
cali
word choice was pretty good throughout. I thought this piece lacked creative shit, the storyline was really simple in some ways. I mean I've heard people say stuff like that before. it's not because you have a street style or anything, you just don't have a generic piece really. overall not bad, you can probably do better i bet.

le
ok nice, i don't really see how cali can beat a published author though i bet he could if he polished his shit up a bit. anyway i thought you attempted a more creative piece again the storyline/topic choice seemed played as well. the imagery was just more creative and that's basically why you get my vote.

Honestly, I've seen better from the both of you back in the day... this whole battle seemed rushed and unfocused on both sides...

"I AM a dreamer...you will have faith as you gaze my eyes...
These days surprise, people drownding in a haze of flies"

that's definitely filler... i know it's a topical and all but this was not well thought out... throughout... you seemed to go from a poetry style to a semi-rap style... the two don't mix well... by this i mean... you went from...

Rainbows and puffy clouds trap my vision till it's blurry...

to.....


I can't tell whats real, I smoke alotta weed it helps...

and

This is more of a nightmare...fuck dreams I don't believe in that shit...


CaLi took on more of a rap tone but it still seemed forced to me.... with that... i do have to add that he was involved in 5 simultaneous battles and may have been trying to meet all of his "deadlines" .... no pun intended

Prison bars,lifes hard,and the world is a battlefield
And everything you belive in does'nt matter here...

i know it's not perfect rhyming but stuff like this irks da hell outta me... not saying that it can't work... it's just sumn i, personally, can't and refuse to do

I guess the weed smoke in my temple leaves my prays unseen
Screams of my victims a screeching lyllabye in my dreams...

I don't know about everyone else... but smoke usually goes to the lungs ...not the temple... the effects of the drug may affect brain cells but what's that got to do with your temple?


So sleep is the enemy and im trying to beat it
But sleep is a patient foe,no chance i'll defeat it
My body needs it.......my soul does'nt agree
Because everytime I sleep I look in a mirror of me


This was just boring..... your point comes across but not very well... there was nothing strong about the statement that was made here....


you guys pretty much said the same things at the end of your drops...

the bottom line was.... life sucks....

i used to really enjoy reading y'all stuff... but this forced stuff here?... this just tells me that we're all pretty much getting bored with text battling... or at least with how the battles are conducted...

conclusion: i call it a draw.... hence feedback for both instead of a vote...

stay up... let's get shyt back to how it used to be.....competitive!

I havent voted in what seems like a hundred years so if its not up to par my fault

I can go category by category but thats kind of lame (unless its required)

Both verses were good but I was definitely drawn to L.E's a bit more, a few of his bars stood out more than Calis stand out bars.

"Call me wierd...but I dont dream to manage the physics...
Don't dream about money, I dream the planet's existence
I used to be a dreamer, they were way too few of me...
Now a dream is a kids thing, it exists to only humour me
I can't tell whats real, I smoke alotta weed it helps...
Dreams of my life.....? Maybe life is a dream itself...
"

^- I thought that was pretty dope, it all went together well

Calis verse was good in parts but at others had me losing interest

"Dreams of my life........more like reoccuring nightmares
Street wars,body scared,and cops who dont fight fair
And I see what I dont want to see or admit
Because I dream of my life and my life ain't shit
"

Your first and last bars were my favorites of the verse


Anyways I gotta give the vote to LE for the overall standout verse, sorry if this vote is inadequate I havent voted in a while

i prefered this verse because it was set out more nicely and had better rhymes, and better, imagery den the other verse this one i think takes the win although i liked both... but im voting for this.
