my cross to bear.

Geno · 10-25-2014, 10:55 AM

This aint rap no more, its a ball nd a chain
Its my cross to bear, and i carry it for all of your sakes
This is edgar allan poe, his crow, the cat clawing away
Alchoholism, getting sobre, and then falling from grace
Its netcees.com, david llama applauding its grave
Its dot co, the ressurection, and what you call it today
Its God of War, Metts and ecoNamix all getting paid
A junkyard of rusty vets, a hall of fame market to blame
Its hush not giving a fuck, nika, bags, all of the greats
Pics, battle raps nd open mics, we're all part of the paint
I harbor your pain hardest, my flatline is one artist away
Recalling an age where dial up failure kept ur hardest at bay
Booted nd ud lose it, ur 16 lines of music wasnt thru being saved
When the bran nubian days were still brand new to you lames
What canibus could do to a tape, big words overused in debate
Trying to sound inteligent was as stupid then as it is doing today
When getting called out meant war, nd u swore u wudnt sway
Those were the days true writers had a league of their own
When a wet fucking writer had flow, nd not an ego to grow
When the machine was well oiled, now the diesel is low
Nd were all the same people, blaming a new breed cause its broke
I dont know, im reminiscing, what you been readings a joke
Iont feel like writing anymore, ima leave it alone..

Mike Wrecka · 10-25-2014, 01:55 PM

Ya this was vintage geno. Still the best flow on the site IMO

A cool verse man. Enjoyed it to the upmost

Mr. J · 10-26-2014, 05:05 PM

Still sounds like you have that "Joey" edge in Geno's head
I enjoyed this all the way to the Brand Nubian line
you still have a grasp on flow that none have touched on yet
I miss being in the OM and watching you rip a verse
very nice work my dude..keep writing its needed

Exis · 11-04-2014, 12:20 PM

You have alot of talent...not sure if you always find it in yourself to bring it out but yeah, when you do your more than a force to be reckoned with...on the real G, when your mind is in the right state your one of the best on this site...and that's comin' from someone that used to hate you lol.

Apply yourself fam...you could rip text forums (and audio if you had the right shit and whatnot) apart on a good day, and on a bad one you still cause havoc.

this was nice bro...real nice.

Now fuck those reality issues off and drop some Jus Allah shit, as I know you can.

Stay upwards my friend.

Geno · 11-04-2014, 06:56 PM

For sure. Respect

Vulgar · 11-06-2014, 10:05 PM

I second that notion of "drop some Jus Allah shit." This was good and refreshing. It's less competitive in here than it used to be, though it shouldn't stop some of us from pushing the envelope on our writing and exploring new depths. I liked it.

Terror wrist · 11-15-2014, 01:51 PM

Nice shit.. Feeling inspired to write by it.

H4ZE · 11-15-2014, 01:56 PM

Damn yo, this was pretty dope. Tons of tallent, flow was smooth as fuck, sounds like it would be a good fit for an audio piece. Some sick rhyming as well man. Wording was all on point, nothing felt forced at all. Nothing I can really say to improve on. Great verse.

El Muffin · 11-15-2014, 01:59 PM

i liked everything except the bags as a great thing

that boy ass

lol

besides that..dope af

Coup · 11-20-2014, 07:57 PM

This current dullness will be material for tomarrows anthem on how golden it was...today. Difference is that back then the 4th wall wasn't broken or self aware of our own lameness (which is mistaken for ledgendary now)

Terror wrist · 05-24-2016, 04:21 PM

Dope shit! Still sounds dope 2yrs later. But hey! I won't take that shot at canibus. Ima check back in the next 2yrs to see what i might still make of this. Lol

Terror wrist · 07-07-2022, 02:30 AM

And here I am, 6 years later and it's still dope. Golden goose.

MaCe · 07-07-2022, 02:06 PM

Wtf was this shit…

This guy rhymed chain & sakes….and wth was the Wet writers line

4.6/10

Diablo · 07-29-2022, 03:34 PM

ball and a chain/all of your sakes, no?

PancakeBrah · 08-02-2022, 10:21 PM

I've always thought you were underrated, vis a vis the best on the site. Thoughts and rhymes always very smooth with a personal edge. This is good, as always.
