Just A Man

..this was recorded. I killed the shit. Wish i would have spit it later in my recording stages though with better breath control. Still i ripped the shit. Its a collab i did with 2 other cats called "just a man".. Anyway. Heres the verse for your reading enjoyment for the first time. The tracks on my soundcloud if your interested after reading this. If not idgaf tbh. But i go last on the track if so.. Anyway. Without further ado... (Sidenote. Im 36 now. Wrote this 3 years ago)

Its hard to describe what ive seen and survived
Im only 33, and i cant believe im alive
Never had the sort of parents from a normal equation
Im a fucking loser now, and that formulas basic
Cause my alcoholic fathers either drunk or hes stoned
Got my ass whooped with every single belt buckle he owned
Punishing blows, made me feel fucking dissowned
Anger built up in my soul, hatred just wants to explode
Raising my brother myself, deaf but he saw everything
He elevated early, i miss him, he's read ive been spittin
But he will never hear the words if he listens
And that hurts from a distant, sort of personal image
We suffer from several sorts of burdens, with differances
Now my family is more insignificant
Since ive grown up, good riddance
Its been a miserable 6 or so years
Ive witnessed more fears manifest
And the tears that ive wept over death
Over your headstone ive kept..
so that nobody knows that ive let go
Its death over dishonor, Click! Clack!, so lets go be honorable
Never have you ever known me to be bluffing
Ive blown the stuffing out of everything ive ever touched
And sent my love with a bullet and fragments of brains
Scattered accrossed the unbalanced terrain
And ive showered in pain, more than my share of times
Its paralyzed me to the world im in
I wanna come with you, and lets be reborn again
Im sort of a mess, and im finished enduring the wreck...

yea its def somethin ud rather hear aloud.. alot of emotion thats better expressed vocally considering the beat is providing the structure whereas we just create our own when we type out our pieces, not limited on the amount of syllables we can use besides the multies at the end lol.

good shit tho
