something quick
 

Feeling like the grind never pays
Another day. Another dollar. Its time for a raise
I got my poker face on. Beware of the god
I will hunt your ass down. Preyers or not
I keep a militant mind. Im In way to deep
These scars remind me. That the game is for keeps
The past is real. Its like a peek at the future
I remember yesterday. When i speak to these losers
I been real for as long as i know. All of my life
If you catch me going hard. Its just part of my vice
Youve gotta earn respect. Before its given to you
And thats a lesson in life. That isnt given in school
I done been a free man. And a prisoner dog
Theres always a cage though. With invisible bars
Keep your friends close. Your enemies extra
Given a chance. And ya' reflection would getcha
My brother spoke his mind. he lied like a hoe
My mother called me up. Told me i was dissowned
So Ive got trust issues. And thats word to Drake
Its room under my wing. Cause you birds are fake
Its like a weights been lifted. Angers released
Hes gotta live with the fact. Hes a stranger to me
Thats a heavy cross to bear. His lies supplied
Theres a whole in my heart. Words can not define
Went to battle for him. Put my life on the line
Theres a point to this shit. He aint likely to find
They say the good die yung. The bad arent supposed
Id rather live with that baggage. Than pass as a joke
My name ring bells. I got nothin to fear
The best feeling's i can look. At whats in the mirror
No shame in my game. I turned out like a G
You wanna see a bad guy. It turns out like its me

Idk, been some time since I wrote anything and read anything so keep that in mind when I'm feeding you as I might be missing out on shit... But ye, this shit seemed kind of half assed at times,... well, not really half assed, but rather lazy in a way? I don't know, can't exactly put my finger on it. I can see the style you're going for and it's not the usual you the way I remember it but you still keep a certain refined standard somehow. However, it seems a bit simple at times as if you're cutting away too many syllables and just leaves it there because it sounds good, mainly thinking about this couplet:

''Thats a heavy cross to bear. His lies supplied
Theres a whole in my heart. Words can not define''
^ it just doesn't seem like it's finnished, like a sketch but not in a way as opposed to this couplet which is my fav in your piece:
''They say the good die yung. The bad arent supposed
Id rather live with that baggage. Than pass as a joke''
^ It still got that abrupt end in each sentence but it's complete in a whole different way.

Enjoyed the piece as a whole with its straight forward message and approach but I've definitely read shit I personally enjoyed a bit better from you. Cool to see you test out different shit and elevating your pen game in different areas at your level, keep it up.

Trill shit homie. Liked that reflection line. A few others grabbed me also. Real smooth feel to this props and stay up mah ninja

i dug this bit. again, just cuz it's not deep doesnt mean i couldnt hear you flowing that on a track

Seems like you need a shot of Fireball and a few beers
Geno needs that old thing back, this seems different of you
I'm used to the more in pain Geno, but I guess it isn't an 'always' type of thing
regardless I thought this was pretty cool for a return verse
it's been awhile since I seen you write anything aside from discussion topics..
and this was a nice little refresher keep doing you brotha man
