Hope

in lyrics •  7 years ago  (edited)

See I don't really have much to write about no more
I used to write about being mad angry, drug fucked and dirt poor
Used to write like I had an axe to grind, bone to pick, butt hurt - arse soar
But now life's pretty damn good, so how can I write raw?

No experience writing happy, cos I'm not that used to glad
Come a long way from that boy with no dad
That young man on the streets doing tons of bad
Hoping this the new paradigm, not just a passing fad

Cos straight up I don't wanna, can't go back to that ...

And I won't - cos I realised I control my own path
Realised them lads were holding me back, so I moved past
They got mad at that at that, so I moved further - I moved fast
Moved up and I moved out, moved down, yeah I moved south

And yeah living with the folks now, near 30 like a loser
Don't spend much time out and about - just me and the computer
But I had more fun in my teens and 20s than you ever will in the future
And not forced to be here - I choose here, cos shit's super

Watching my little bro grow and grow
Only 13, but he's taller than me now yo
Impart a little knowledge from experience shown
Won't make the same mistakes that I did - hope

Thanks dude, this was the first thing I'd written in ages. I spat some of my boy @anotherpoet's stuff the other night in a free/spoken work kind of style and it inspired me to pick up the pen again.

Don't spit no more, but you can check out a couple of my old joints at https://www.soundcloud.com/shyft1

Got a link to yo beats?

Siiick, not to my random production beats, just to the band, spoken word is the best dude, I like to incorporate that in my music too.

amazing lyric.
love it

Thanks shaggy :)

you are welcome...

so I moved past
They got mad at that at that so I moved further, I moved fast
Moved up and I moved out, moved down yeah I moved south

Great! I love the frequent use of the word "moved" I can already imagine how it sounds while rapping.

Yeah I dig word play - a lot more to rapping than just rhyme!

Great lyrics. Enjoyed that. Thanks!

No worries, glad you enjoyed!

Love your lyric, nice

Thank you for sharing @adsactly , the post worth be reading , i'm interested of this kind of things , personally if you allow my opinion ,my definition of homesteading is like your's and i wish live on farm and do what i love . but for me it seems impossible in the current time (sorry about it) , knowing that i was a homesteader in the past , i had a farm but cuz of my living conditions i can't realy work on it and spent more time ,i explain :

In my country which is "Algeria" , working for a day (let's say 8 hours) gives you just 4$-5$ max,and some jobs are really hard and not enough paid , so i decided to do 2 jobs in one day and sometimes 3 ! ,so i think you agree with me if i say that working day & night will destroy my health ! unfortunately that was the unique way to make some money and build up my farmhome and buy some chickens to start together a beautiful story (:D oolululu my dream lost).

When Finally i achieved some of my desires like Fenced my little garden and make some money after 3 long months ! , it's at this moment when I had some health problems that I wasn't ready for, Two ankle sprains for both my legs! A heart disease,.... and other health problems (I don't have the courage to speack about it so sorry), in short the total, and all the money I had left in medical care .

And that's why I gave up the farm and almost everything. I want to get up but without "money & support from anyone" it is difficult, but at least I do not lose hope for live! I don't give up! , thank you again for sharing this post , trust me that make me feel better & happy .

Hey mate, I think you might have the wrong post as this wasn't an @adsactly post, but sorry to hear about your troubles ... I just sent you 2 SBD, usually not much, but ~$20 USD atm and sounds like that might help a little ... Merry Christmas!
