After Life

[James R.]

Feeling like shit about some things, so I took 20-30 minutes out and just let my feelings out about a few topics. Really rough. The flow is kinda complicated cuz the beat was a bastard, but yeah. Hope you enjoy.

I was baptized in the carnage of battlefields
A prodigy with the way I harnessed and mastered skills
Quit poppin shit when you know you hardly could grasp a deal
Yeah you’re a soldier, but I’m the sergeant you bastard chill
You put me to sleep like I was sippin on chamomile
But I approach with something you bitches would have to feel
So I grabbed the glass and hoped that I could drown my sorrows
Pray to God today no demons come around tomorrow
Twisted devils on different levels of consciousness
Fiends is screamin see I’m believin in all this shit
I can’t fuckin sleep, the view is stuck in deep
My man is buckin heat, until he’s fuckin weak
Until his blood is drippin and he’s seein double vision
Eddie you fuckin bitch your daughter wasn’t double digits
But that’s how it is when you live on the street corners
I know you tried and thought you were digging deep for us
But in the next life, after the after-life
Be a fuckin father, and not the fuckin actor type
Cuz if we reconnect and you’re still on the failure shelf
I’ll cock the glock and kill you my fuckin self

If there’s another life, a life that’s after life
I hope it’s me, my fam, and my homies passin mics
God I’m askin nice, I can’t stand to fight
Just lemme chill, drink, and gimme a chance to write

Cocaine, barcardy rum, and some cali weed
A good bar and some laughs and that’s all you need
But when it’s all you feel you start to swallow pills
It’s been years and I look like I’m fuckin hallow still
But that’s what you preached “live young and die fast”
It’s crazy how the memories could just fly past
But it’s the curse of the legends, we never get it fair
Or you never give it fair, but I ain’t splittin hairs
You made your choices fine, I got your voice in mind
Assuring me that I’m gonna have to rejoice in time
But just know when I’m screamin that it’s you I’m seein
Another demon my head is steamin I hope I’m dreamin
I hope your grave turns every time you hear me pleadin
I can’t beg enough bitch my fuckin knees are bleedin
Fuck you honestly, cuz you’re standin on top of me
I know you’re dead and gone, but apologize properly
I hear the silence auntie; it’s speaking loud and clear
So while I’m bleedin out realize you could have found me here

If there’s another life, a life that’s after life
I hope it’s me, my fam, and my homies passin mics
God I’m askin nice, I can’t stand to fight
Just lemme chill, drink, and gimme a chance to write

If there’s another life, a life that’s after life
I hope it’s me, my fam, and my homies passin mics
God I’m askin nice, I can’t stand to fight
Just lemme chill, drink, and gimme a chance to write

[The GameKeeper]

10 out of 10 my man... that shit was raw, tight lyrics and the flow was on point. Record that shit!!!

[James R.]

pretty good, especially the chorus

chorus 10/10

lyrics 7/10

song 85/100

Thats funny cuz I thought the chorus was really average lol. Thanks man


Everyone thanks for the feed I really appreciate it.

dude that was just awesome

Pray to God today no demons come around tomorrow

I love that line so much

really man, it was awesome, I wish someone would record this

I would love if you explained the 2nd verse more, if it isn't too personal.

but like Mcmaybe said, it was beautiful

chorus meh imo, but the verses make up for it

The 2nd verse is about my aunt. She went out for a friends birthday and thought it would be a good idea to drink Bacardi, pop some pain killers, and do coke like a retard and she ended up ODing on it. Was in a coma for about 7 months and then my g-ma finally took her off the machines. The last half of the 1st is about my uncles friend Eddie who got himself shot.

And I totally agree. I thought the chorus was very blah lol.

But yeah hopefully this song and Finding Diamonds will get recorded in the coming weeks.

[theJFKshow]

Really nice.

Sometimes it feels like you are forcing the rhymes at the end of a line.

[James R.]

Thanks for the feed man. I'll make sure to keep an out for it.

[4D]

Brilliant as always. Best writer on this site, period.

You always bring a "topic". Always have great flow, good solid rhymes, and you're one of the very few people on here that I instantly check out as soon as you've dropped. Major props James!

I don't think the chorus was blah, it was good, but the verses were the meat of this song.

[James R.]

Man I been receiving some of the deepest compliments of my life in the past 24 hours. I appreciate it man. I'm glad a TR elite watches for my drops. That's bad ass

[MC Anonymous]

Dude..... just...wow...
How I wish my skill can compare...alas it can't
This was all excellent! every little word told the story like a projector.
10/10... beautiful.

[Solace]

Dude that was fucking ill. The verses where 10/10 and then chorus was even 10/10 imo. I loved every bit of it...

[James R.]
