Sacrifice for Success.......

IP: D5FE 7245

Yes Prem i know you already got this same topic up on open mic but i used the topic for another battle also and i think its one of my best so i want some feed on it

READ ALL OF IT PLEASE thanks

Red=Narrator
Blue=Record Label guy
Walking down the block a tune intruded my mind
enhanced lyrics possessed me and thoughts became rhymes
the words infected my brain and hailed deep at the center
little did i know that this would change my life forever


I became infactuated...a way to speak through souls
with flexible movements...and maximum control
but as i continued to see the tv it seemed....
...that i could make money off this, that dinero, the green
I started perfecting the art and constantly practiced
about 17 hours a day and that was only the average
I emulated the best and learned from the worse..
what to and not to do when i created these words
punchlines became my fancy and effort was forced
to build an industry of thoughts that were saved and stored
kicked the rhymes i memorized on the block to others
and in due time respect was given reguardless of color
friends reffered me to the square where the battles were held
at my growing age my brain just kept gettin excelled
i signed up, nothin to lose...and still wanted my dream
to become mainstream where millions envied me
bright lights dimmed my sight, i was on stage to be exact
and noises ringed my ears like they were cut off and re-attached
i said some harsh personals on his clothes and face
and when he spit he was booed to where he became disgraced
i won one after another no losses saw my belt...
...nothin but wins like chart toppin hits and empty shelves
everythin goin my way...then i get a call one day...
...rocafella requests my presense...im left in disarray
estatic at the news im gettin signed this is my chance
to be recognized and watch close as my bank account expands
i talked to them about the rules and what im allowed to do
"Just make them hits...but no lyrics...or your carreer is through"
i was shocked i cant express myself to my furthest extent?
"NO YOU CANT...the purpose is cash...fuck that respect..."
well i wanted money, hos, cars and jewelry...
"How you expect to get that...you gonna show them lyrically?...
Nope...you do as we say your our puppet understand?
dont backfire on us or your contract is ripped in half..."

i had to do so...i wanted money, that dinero, the green
remember that...yup that was it, not exactly what it seems...
recorded it and it was advertised like crazy in the states
across the UK and the globe, being percieved as a great
album released...the next day a roar of upset hit my mail
sayin i sold out on my old school...now theres nomore tales
just dance shit, no lyrics, no twisted concepts and wordplay
no witty punches or imagery that made the words be displayed
now the underground dont like me...fuck em thats not what matters
i got my dough and im mainstream my face painted on walls and plastered
this is the story of a greedy individual that came to be...
...a sacrificer of the past for his success...a sellout to the streets

peace
