"The Mic Life"

[VERSE 1]
THE PAST!
Ever since I was a mere child i've had rhymes compiled
Figured out my style and thus learned my words reviled
Wantin to be famous had me livin on hopes and wishes
So when i'd fall apart it felt like rap was my stiches
I was me, that possed a threat to da majority of society
They knew i was the only N.B. emcee with such a variety
Me and a mic directly connected which was to be expected
I was rejected, neglected so it's the life I respected
My mind drew out blueprints and released em as a thought
They were the buildin blocks of a dream my heart sought
I dropped out of school and learned to write a hook
The concepts of rap can't be found in a history book
Everywhere that i've been I carried a concealed weapon
When men got pushy it was a pen I done pulled on them

[CHORUS]
It's the mic life!
The trials and tribulations of a man
It's the mic life!
When the underdog gets the upperhand
It's the mic life!
Hard for the normal bein' to understand
It's the mic life!
That made me the man that I am

[VERSE 2]
THE PRESENT!
Today it's the same way, my struggle's still wit me
I pray for better days but my prayer's must be on delay
Still waitin for my time to shine wit polished rhymes
I can not be defined, can't describe my verse lines
My skill is like a pill that will make your body ill
My mind is like a water mill that's filled, ready to spill
I listen to da world through my head set wit no regret
But yet my eyes can't be hid from the preset of life's debt
Feels like i'm on vinyl when I get scrathed by needles
This aint a metaphore for drugs, i'm pertainin to people
And if given the chance to advance i'll do at first glance
Anything to enhance my current stance and increase my finance
You can't shove me into gear, i'm automatic engineered
Isn't it clear? I'm a pioneer to help hip hop persevere

[CHORUS]
It's the mic life!
The trials and tribulations of a man
It's the mic life!
When the underdog gets the upperhand
It's the mic life!
Hard for the normal bein' to understand
It's the mic life!
That made me the man that I am

[VERSE 3]
THE FUTURE!
It was at the age of 10 when it happened, I begun rappin
My life's been planned out, I know what's comin and when
Maybe some day you'll cop a CD and hear my rhymes play
Or you could get the mp3 on yo PC to betray the R.I.A.A.
As of now it's my dream that I will one day reign supreme
Take over the mainstream and bring true skill to the scene
I'm gon add a new twist that not any body could resist
Assist the industry persist wit the content my lyrics consist
I'm not Pac or Biggie, so why be Jarule and pretend to be?
Yo situation's crazy when you get lazy and fall of this early
The future awaits us to enter it wit success and dominance
Given our freedom to express whatever we think is best
Anyone who knows me realizes it's somethin I won't let pass by
The guy waitin for the oppurtunity to reach out and touch the sky


[CHORUS]
It's the mic life!
The trials and tribulations of a man
It's the mic life!
When the underdog gets the upperhand
It's the mic life!
Hard for the normal bein' to understand
It's the mic life!
That made me the man that I am

It's the mic life!
Hard for the normal bein' to understand
It's the mic life!
That made me the man that I am

Yo, I'm 16 dogg

Thanks for the feedback

Yo. . . I was feelin this piece. Not bad at all. Vocab was good, it flowed and that's the major thing. Wordplay was good, Multi's were great, Flow and Multi's made the piece strong this time round. Try to Up ya Vocab next time and even it out. Have a fair proportion of everything, ya feel me? Hook was ok too, just nothing really to brag about it. Little bland, but the verses made up for it. Keep droppin man.
