This is something i sarted in work last night, and sort of kinda half finished today. I was doin much better at work, anyway, let me know what you think. This is some of the most honest things i`ve ever said in a rhyme. Maybe some of the netcee`s on here can relate?
My talent`s trapped in a prison, made from a lack of ambition,
Maybe i`ve the potential to be an essential addition to the rap tradition
But, I can`t invision me rappin wisdom in front of critics on a stage,
So my gift is in a cage, of shyness, that`s why this lyrics on a page,
And witness on my grave engraved "A man who never gamble`s a waster"
If pursueing with devotion was a promotion, i`d never sample a taster,
Couldn`t handle the flavour, but, if Jesus is real and is infact a saviour,
I`d bend my knees and beg and plead, and then i`d ask a favour
To be a man that`s braver, with confidence and not afraid to perform
To be able to rock mic`s in spotlights and leave the stage in a storm
My age is a thorn, and it`s in my side spiking like a Rhino horn
I`m Sligo born, in trying times, writing rhymes to keep my Biro warm,
Biro`s the hired hand, Ireland`s most popular writin` brand
Sligo`s the fightin` land, home City, the known gritty die in vans
When violent plans, turn to acts of murder in broad daylight,
I`m not religious, but, if i believed I`d pray to God Day n night
So that strays might sway the innocence way from ambivalence,
It`s drug wars and ignorant militants that causes mad incidents.
Back on-topic, Band instruments and rock acts are more relevant,
Cos in Sligo hip hop isn`t part of the culture, it wont sell events,
So I don`t tell the friends, that I can and do write rap lyrics
Cowardice, cos if I came out with it I might have critics,
Fuckers laughin, Fordie, you can`t rap, you`re a disgrace
Go from this place, I should`ve slammed the door in ya face,
I knew I shouldn`t`ve tried, my pride died a thousand deaths,
So in fear of that and a career in rap, the mic is bound to rest,
And stay shelved, till the day elves, grant me my three/Four wishes
To be cool under pressure, have Food and a treasure and three more wishes,
To keep my wife and kids safe, that they live long and healthy no mistake,
Now I think i`ll record this, with distorted sound and stick it on a mixtape.
