ZenLand
Do You Ever Feel Like....
Breakin necks and snatchin purses and takin techs and blastin persons And creatin sets for mass insurgents to start drastic purges To smash the courage of Heaven's sects by crashin churches No time to yearn the loss cuz I'm burnin mosques and turnin the cross On it's head, God is dead, It's time for the return of the boss No more words thats false or being concerned with loss No more hopin for riches while the poor cope in ditches Shit, Cover Wall Street with ferns and moss Eternal Garden startin, ZenLand's open for business Here, There's no downtrodden's pleas. Here, We all got what we need Here, There's no cops we're freed. Here, we're not locked by greed So break the chains and take the reins, Take aim and spray their brains, They ain't usin 'em anyway and anyday they'll place the blame on you for things they "can't change" Like the war on crime that they pour in our mind, When the CIA is main damn gang They betray our needs, They want you to pray and plead Well I ain't gonna rephrase my speech, Because one day we'll meet And I'll slay those peeps with proud scholars turned to brave soldiers They say we're free when the founding fathers were slaveholders Fuck 'em |

...there was mad content here...
and it was dope, the first part was the better of the two. the multis were sick and it had the best quotes. i'd say these were my faves... No time to yearn the loss cuz I'm burnin mosques and turnin the cross On it's head, God is dead, It's time for the return of the boss No more words thats false or being concerned with loss No more hopin for riches while the poor cope in ditches Shit, Cover Wall Street with ferns and moss Eternal Garden startin, ZenLand's open for business

On it's head, God is dead, It's time for the return of the boss No more words thats false or being concerned with loss No more hopin for riches while the poor cope in ditches Shit, Cover Wall Street with ferns and moss Eternal Garden startin, ZenLand's open for business I quoted my favorite lines. I saw the story you were telling but it kinda bored me a bit. the rhyming was fun to follow and I liked the hook but it's not something I'd reread. |

On it's head, God is dead, It's time for the return of the boss
No more words thats false or being concerned with loss this was the part i most recalled after reading this a few days ago. this verse completely juxtaposed with your name in a real way lol. war for peace? but yeah man i was digging this simply from the bit of viciousness you opened with, but it never really reached that peak again for me in term of pure lyricism And I'll slay those peeps with proud scholars turned to brave soldiers They say we're free when the founding fathers were slaveholders solid way to close this out. in a day and age where this is such common knowledge though, or at least the normative belief among anyone who usually comes through these parts.. its almost like preaching to the choir at a certain point you know? i have no problem with the subject matter itself but the way you discuss it has to be interesting enough to really make a statement that doesn't just reinforce an idea but inspires a new one. keep on man. thanks for this. |

pretty cool. thought only noticable hiccup was where you placed "ferns and moss"
They betray our needs, They want you to pray and plead Well I ain't gonna rephrase my speech, Because one day we'll meet And I'll slay those peeps with proud scholars turned to brave soldiers They say we're free when the founding fathers were slaveholders that was dope, strongly worded. might not be perfect or the strongest content, but there were some good quotes mixed in that show you'll improve quick. at least it's your own words, more than i can say for some people.. and I like the concept behind it. maybe throw in some more complex multis to make it feel more tied together from line to line, like the schemes were landing really hard on meet/need/ those single syllable rhymes keep keyin dude, I'll be looking for future drops

ya no doubt Zen. this was cool. I was really feelin the first section, a little more than the second. ur use of multis was nice. then you kinda went away from it a little. but ya I enjoyed reading this. that ferns and moss line did seem very oddly placed. but ya good stuff dude.

I was diggin this man.. id say shorten your lines a bit, but id have to hear how you flow this. Feel me? Keep droppin this stuff bruh.

Hush had the most accurate criticism in this thread.
This is a ghost thread, re-upped. It's interesting (OH IS IT) to see the growth of one of the best writers on this site, from this. It's good, in terms of rhyming and pace and rhyming and pace. The best Zen pieces were so caustic and personal, occasionally touching on the mechanical nature, with rhymes, of something like this. Interesting (OH IS IT) to read in retrospect.
