A hot 16 cuz I pop shit mean (Hard Knock Life Beat)

[James R.]

From watchin all the coroners come
To hearin mothers screamin that she could’ve sworn he was done
Turn out the lights when the bangers started blowin the chrome
Waitin to rob somebody’s house when there was nobody home
Stay on the grind define your time here as a free man
Don’t need hands, go buy benz just so you breeze past
Don’t sleep man, live fast and hit the floor quicker
We’re all the reason that our families gotta pour liquor
Never forgiven for the crimes we done in poor livin
Don’t waste your time it’s not awarded, taken, nor given
That’s wrong—we get our moments taken every day
We’re ready to pay for hard times to be delivered away
Whatever the price it’s worth it just to watch your kids and them play
We’re killin the youth just so we can get significant praise
My skill in the booth just comes from how I tend to live what I say
I jacked that beat but it’s ok that I could never be Jay
—So fuck y’all—

Pretty Raw stuff here
I liked it a lot, very enjoyable read.

[James R.]

Pretty hot man. Really some street feel to this verse. This is like that mixtape verse that everyone compares to the album tracks ^

Thanks man. Im tryna single out elements of my life that transfer to writing and practice them so that I can throw them together and have dance tracks that gangsters still bump and raw tracks that girlies still blast in their head phones ya know? So Im glad I delivered lol

And thanks for checkin Anon. I always value your opinion. Glad you enjoyed it. Means a lot man

[Steve Spag]

Pretty good read man. I thought the begining was a little rough, but as it progressed it got better. The emotion you put in is nice. Not the best thing I've read from you, but it's sick.

Keep it up dude.

[James R.]

Thanks steve I appreciate it

[Ka0t1c]

great verse but u messed up the 4th line so i lost the flow at first

[James R.]

Yeah the 4th line was a cunt so i just cut my losses lol. Thanks for checkin it man

[Ka0t1c]

u have the word WAS in that line twice so it doesnt make sense

[James R.]

Hahaha typo. Wow. That explains why I couldn't make it flow lol. No clue how I missed that.

[Ka0t1c]

[James R.]

Hahah yeah man I was focusing on just song writing (which is still my focus) so it was harder to get a full idea out than when I do a storytelling piece of just a verse. But I'm changing my approach and it's resulted in more drops and more activity in CW.

Thanks Zach and Rossy for checkin. You know I appreciate it

It's cool man, I liked the last line cause you shut those that dickride that track to the extreme up. Love that beat to, so I see where your coming from. Its deep but could be deeper.
