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.

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
