Bill now bagels eat satin laced pussy shavings
Told a storie bout juicy haven gluten craving
Booty shaking pussy poppin teen bitches

Eating caviar swinging battle stars at yah car
Frodo going world star. By far the type of nigga
Who gives out scars and loose stitches

He would 2 finger bitches like bowling ball hitches
1 in the stink putting hoes in a pinch, driving in every inch
Jeez he's a beast, barbaric coal hearted anti Semitic
Swallowing sedatives by each tick of the pendulum

Saw the topic & laughed. 'Cuz in this city of mine
I see 'em gasp, they can't breathe, they need an oxygen mask
Can't stop to relax it's like it's splitting their spine
The pressure they feel won't fit in a lyric of mine
The prize is to live with their foes disguised as their kin
Feels like no future in sight with their eyes on their six
I could've made it poetic, how life shouldn't be still
Would've been a beautiful written but it wouldn't be real
In hindsight, I'm glad I caught a glimpse from the distance
& noticed there's no hope for all the prisons they live in
What's the solution I seek when fear's forever lurking
Innovations had my hopes high, now, it clearly isn't working
I used to think it was them, being too nervous to take it
Overwhelmed by the thought, satisfaction's just a word they created
Then reality hit, all they ever felt was resistance
Between them & I, I .. I really couldn't tell you the difference

'Da fuck is hope.

I vote for Razah. I thought both of y'all dodged the topic. But Razah wrote a better verse.

Cimm.

Inno you brought some lulz but it was basically more of a loose sex metaphor than a real written. Feel like you keyed this.

Razah brought some heat into a small verse. Nice switch up to the rhyme at the beginning, a hint of early braggadocio then an intricate connection to the topic. I was more enthralled with this verse than Inno's.

V/ razah

Very short battle which surprised me, its only right I keep it brief
Vote goes to Raz, stuck to topic more, overall better writing and read imo.

P.S. was waiting for raz to use ‘innovate’ in some shape or form! keep that up if u win lol

I have no idea what Inno was going for here. Underestimated his opponent? It wasn't even funny just.. awkward.

Read Razah's verse in Chance the Rapper's voice and fell in love with it. Nothing special lyrically, but the rhyme schemes were on point and actually had some kind of relationship with the picture. Actually, way impressed with his content in retrospect. Solid effort.

v/ Razah

Inno - you didn't really care enough to write a verse, so I don't really care enough to break down my vote.

Razah - stuck to the topic - straightforward contemplation piece. The rapid fire prose style I felt added to your paranoia/distrust angle. Liked the "lyric" line and the repetition of "I" in the final line.

Vote -- Razah

Lol, at Inno. I don't know what to say. You are capable of much better.

Razah: Yes, this was very rapid. And the beginning has a lot of character to it. You always manage to write minimally and yet always sneak on by to the semi's. You are an under the radar writer, but you write poignantly, to the point. I liked the piece, the beginning and middle felt kind of different though, almost like two different writers, but it meshed well.

Vote: Razah
