What did you have in view?
Something brand new? Something you could have a hand in to? I’m just a new jack who wants to make two tracks. Not lookin’ to see the money You stack. You’re someone I hope to follow; You wrote a novel. You’re a distinguished artist - with more than a singular market. Words I target. Blurbs. Retarded. I’m just out & about. Dropping raps & popping caps. (and) Whether or not you believe in heaven, It would have sucked if I died when you were 11. Whether or not you believe in heaven, It would have sucked if I died when you were 11. The clear choice; you wanted my real voice. Instead of doing drugs and shooting guns. Yeah I smoke pot; a whole lot. Let this be the only time I blow your mind. What do you want? A whole song where I tell you what I’ve done wrong? ..Let’s drink & smoke ‘til we think we’re dope.. It’s fun to spit Dumb Shit when the drums hit.. My time’s wastin; mind racin’. Not bipolar; just High & never sober. The sad fact is that I can’t rap. I don’t try very much. That’s why my library sucks. My Best work is my Next verse. How can I still be free?, when the black & milds are killin’ me. Who are we kidding? I’ll never be successful like my siblings. Yo, I miss when we did things. Whether or not you believe in heaven, It would have sucked if I died when you were 11. Whether or not you believe in heaven, It would have sucked if I died when you were 11. |

I like “my best work is my next verse” and the line about your siblings. Everything else sort of reads like a grandfather wrote it then performed it at a D.A.R.E. assembly for kids in in-school suspension. Not terrible, entertaining actually. In a wholesome way.

i thought this captured some of the purer, wholesome energy of when we did things just to do them. when i say we i mean everybody, and in things i mean everything. but, of course, we're talking about writing and rhyming just for fun -- something that seems to dissipate with our youth and in the pursuit of external validation. which, again, applies more broadly.
anyway, for that reason, i genuinely liked parts of this. the self-effacing humility, the honest enthusiasm, the simple but sincere schemes. The sad fact is that I can’t rap. I don’t try very much. That’s why my library sucks. don't let it stop you from trying. or maybe you shouldn't try at all and just do. idk. |
