Steve Spag - Why I Do It

Postby Steve Spag » Dec 28th, '08, 21:36

I wrote this awhile back but just found it on my computer downstairs. Not my best piece, but it's got a nice flow to it the way I rap it. Pretty much just a verse about why I do what I do, and no matter what I still got my rap.

they ask me why i do it, is it for fame or chicks?//
i'm just not playing games, and i'm not taking shit//
i'm here to make it big, my pay and all my spliffs//
my name and who i am, it just might take a bit//
but when it's said and done, you will all play my hits//
you will not hate no more, you will all wave and kick//
it is the way of life, you can not change a kid//
who loves his music, it's always at the top of his list//
you can cancel my phone and you could cut off my net//
and you can take away my car but I'll still have my raps//
you can lock me alone and you can take all my cheques//
or you could cancel my cards but I'd still have my pad//
you can keep me at home and you could steal all my Vex's//
you could break my guitar, but I'll still have my pen//
you could cancel my loans and you can ruin my rep//
and you can take my cigars but you can't break my spirit//

the idea was told rather well, only it sounded more poetic than a rap verse, flow was ODD at points, but like you get used to it. ALl in all a well written POEM.

Thanks for the feed guys, much appreciated.

@Arabain Shady: Yeah, the last 8 bars were actually written acapella in poetic form waaaay before I wrote the first 8. I tried matching them up to see how it'd sound, and when it's on the beat it sounds pretty decent, which is why I kept it.

"It's time to let the truth be told/There ain't no brighter day/'Cause when it all unfolds/A n**** gon' just pass away/These haters tryna stop my grind/But I bet them hoes can't block my shine/So tired of takin' losses not this time/I can't save the whole world I'm just tryna look out for mine" - Z-Ro

Nice man. Well written. Lyrics were enjoyable, flow was right on, very easy read. I liked the message you were sending as well. I really felt like I knew a little more about Steve after I was done. Good job.

Simple but expressive no doubt. Love topics like these, I relate to this piece 100%. :b:
