Still Drowning

Post by Weedguru_Fire_Inside »

Still these rivers run deep as i stare down my soul,
Through this motherfuckin mirror like a gaping hole
At the centre of the world,
As ever since birth,
I should've taken the earth for what my mind is worth.

Had schemes to be a lawyer or a scientist,
But now dream of becoming a hip-hopologist
With tongue-twisting linguistics
Coz fuck living this shit.
Working 9/5 n' strugglin n striving
To keep my mind alive when all i see is conniving,
Backstabbing and lying.
Cheating and stealing.
We all so caught up in the money that we've lost all feeling,
Kneeling, Eyes to the cieling.

People can no longer play the game without aiming to maim their opponents,
Who aren't opponents anyway.
Is there a bonus?
Some kind of reward waitin upon us?
For letting "higher powers" just puch us into corners,
Like they warned us.
While they sit on the masses,
The whole world passes,
And the rest of us seem to get split up into classes,
Where the masses, Living this life i lead
Are hell-bent on destroying this corruption and greed.
So we can finally be freed,
Let up oput these fucking cages.
The source of all the rage that makes me jot these pages.

See, money's the beginnin of all of life's problems.
Not for you, if ya got it, but then other people got em.
The worlds gone rotten,
So much jealousy and greed just so we can feel comfortable with shit we Don't need.
We gotta cease the increasing hatred,
But blind to peace they made us,
to keep us locked down in the same old fucking cages.

Now the point i'm try'na make is we don't need the hate and greed.
see we were all spawned from the same set of seeds.
We're people, that's all.
We're equal, no flaws.
But diversity and difference cause arrogance and ignorance,
Which turns to belligerence
And people just don't realise this instance that we're living in hell.
And whichever way you see it we're just destroyin ourselves.
Death is the only certainty. EVERYTHING else is variable.

I would very much like to hear it spoken, rhymed, emceed, mate...get it done. Or at least get some of your vocal art shared on the forums. Because I ALWAYS enjoy, or in the least, can relate to, the thrust of your wordplay.
