WEEK 10: MMLP vs Pharaohs army - MMLP WINS

[MMLP]

If at first I don’t succeed then guess ill try again
Its a vertigo achieved as I question life and death
A pressurised ascend with the seven seas in sight
The death defying levels become therapy in flight
A serenity supplied to a soul that is scarred
Youth memories revived with a blotch on the arm
Emotionally charged, transfixed in space and time
With a shot in the dark, that stimulates the mind
Would lift to greater heights in discreet profound ways
Imitating life I recently down played
So here I’m cloud chasing so I’d forgotten all the stress
In the sequence of outweighing all the problems in my head
With the option to relent with pleads for advice
But a role model of a friend once told me “reach for the sky”
Id peaked at sunrise, the light would relight the fires
The beams of sunlight would tend to revive the lighters
Soon blinded by the flash from the needle it reflects off
But the shine just hides the anguish of the people he reflects on
Still seething for next shot although hells in reach
The reasons it went wrong was a low self-esteem
As those nostalgic beats before had me sent tumbling down
They wont help in redemption with them junkies around
I’m left wondering how long I’ve got, with no response
As my heads stuck in the clouds I want to go beyond
I know it wont be long if I dont start to battle the craving
gotta stop the holding on and man up and face it
The hits, took me back to my eighth birthday without troubles of the past
No hassle or pain just hanging with Woody and the gang
Nothing there could sadden me, more bliss than I ever imagined
Finally, id let go and stood up to the class…. “Hi, I’m Andy and I’m a heroin addict”!

Pharaohs Army - I mean, you didn't even try man. Was this a no-show verse? I hope so... You're better than this for sure. In the future, don't be so literal with your topic. Your picture is hinting at something, you need to find it and go in depth. You're capable of it.

I wish you took this more serious because you had a shot at a Contenders match if you beat MMLP...

MMLP - This was dope. I honestly thought you turned a corner and gave up on the twist endings to write a more in depth and thought prov-- Who am I kidding? This is MMLP lol. And we get a verse about a heroin addicted Andy from Toy Story lol... and it was awesome as it sounds. You have a knack to make me immediately want to re-read your piece and look for the hints... they were all there. The "reach for the sky" especially took on a new meaning. I literally read it different the 2nd time around like "reach for the skkkyyyyyyy". Loved it.

Welcome back.
