She was my best freind at first, a comfortable shoulder to rest my head
We shoulda kept us between us, and yet we listened to the rest instead
We will never know who caught the feelings first, a mystery till the end
But I know the exact second that all my feelings had rushed in
My dad had died and I found out while simply chillin at her house
I started cryin and she begged me just to simply let it out
I rested on her bed, bawling with no end to possibly be seen
She sat down on a wicker chair at the exact opposite of me
I saw her eyes tear up a bit, I threw my own selfish needs aside
I got up wiped my own salty droplets, and found a seat right beside
Took up my pride and found myself with my lips touching hers
And yet I washed away the shock with a flood of loving words
She looked up into the sky and uttered syllables I couldnt comprehend
And I believe thats the moment that my love for her begins

So we called eachother partners, told close friends whats up
Hold hands constantly in public and behind closed doors make love
It went like this for years, love turned into engagement, then to marraige
And not too long after we both decided to become parents
So we were the average perfect couple, left others envious
Thats when the flock of vulture like rumors began to circle us
Shes cheating this!, He's screwing that! came to no stop
So I suppose our own weakness was to blame, our own faults
That the night came that I walked home in a drunken stooper
With a horny mind, saw a hooker and decided I wanna do her
Bitch was cheap too, fucked for about an hour and then...
My wife drove by in a Volkswagen thats holding our kids...
It took me a minute to notice, how quickly she drove off angry
I shoulda jumped off the ho, but a nut was why i'm paying
Payed the bitch threw on my pants, and strolled home in disbelief
What the fuck am I going to do? Just claim it wasn't me?
Got home round midnight still a buzz was the main feeling
Opened the door to find what was a dead silent building
Walked up stairs, wiped away the sweat more then ready to face her dude
Took a deep breath cuz the distance was merely a pace or two
Opened the door smiling acting like aint shit happened
And found nothing but a blood stained floor and a napkin
Must I really explain what happened? Even as a drunk I can't lie
That the hardest part of my life will always be saying goodbye...

Well, my first is done....g'luck

When you start out, you wanna get good and elevate ya game...
When you elevate, you wanna get known and celebrate ya fame...
So much to know in rap, so many decisions that can go each way...
So much to master, to where you practice it each day...
Gotta appeal to the crowd, and to other emcee's be dope too...
You get to a point where a 7/10 just wont do...
Provin ya self to others, seemed to have become a lost cause...
But then your rippin through the seam work just like a dog's claws...
Ya start to roller coaster, good and bad day...
Your talent starts to seem like it could go either way...
You switch it up, maybe use a multie here and there...
You got writers block, ya brain doesnt have a thought to share...
So you look for a vets name, gonna call him out to prove your self...
And when you beat him you always remember how fuckin cool ya felt...
Another win notch to add to ya belt... But somethings missin...
It's that you just beat a vet but still you got no recognition...
Now you go in EFL, cause you ego just exploded...
Ya confident as hell, and oh fuck ya loaded...
You talk disrepect to the person who answers you're bitch slapped...
Cause now you can diss, but you gon get dissed back...
After you're first L you think "do i wanna risk that?"
Now you gotta decide, contemplate while you sit back...
You decide you wanna get ya game up before you battle again...
And you aint confident when you come back so you battle a friend...
And you win. So ya feel like you're on top of youre game...
And you tryout for a crew, so some more kids know your name...
You think that now you got some brand new braggin rights...
Mouthin off to real vets while you're acting tight...
Now your realize your mistake and shit just gets harder...
Takes a lot to do to actally propell farthur...
But pretty soon you're known, you gain a name...
And at first it's pretty hard to stay the same...
But you still dont have the one thing you wanted from the start...
It's harder to reach than anything, it's farther from the stars...
It's the one thing you seeked, what you aimed to get...
The hardest part of rap is to gain respect...

close battle anxiety...just amazing verse in my opinion

flow-anxiety, probably flawless here...u didnt come with big words that messed up your flow instead you stayed simple and it paid off

imagery-socrates, the words soc used brought out more imagery and anx didnt have any since he was talking about something that cant really be described as something you see...but instead something you feel

emotion-anxiety, i related to anx's verse a lot more and i felt a lot of emotion into it since the thing that i care about most is respect and im always trying my hardest to get recognition...so i related to this verse and thought it had a lot more feeling into it

beginning/end-anxiety,i thought both had tie beginnings but the ending is a big part in topicals to me and i think socrates's ending felt a little too common...its something a lot of people forget about including me and it felt kind of like i knew it was going to happen...anx since it wasnt a story the ending is easier and it made me relate a lot more with the whole respect thing so anx got this aspect for a better ending

no hate to nobody both dropped good shit but anx got this to me for basically more emotion, and flow his verse grabbed me more then soc's

good luck to both
peace
