wack rappin'

harrington, a bassline please?
inspired by nathan's creative literary genius, nas, kayne


Yo, I just wanted to say that there’s more to life than this,
Not trying to sound like will smith with a percussionist.
But there’s something out there you just can’t miss
You gotta ask questions like my man ‘jadakiss’ (why?)

So I know you kids like 50 and his gangsta rappin’
But who really believes that he’s out there packin’
Ice, rim’s, hoes and whatever else goes, but bro, I know,
you know that it’s all a big show.

Yo, young boys, come in here and listen up close,
you want a life that gives you the most.
Something about which to your fam you can boast.
Put it in 5th and go coast to coast.
Well ease off the drink, stay away from the weed.
Yo don’t wanna be my age and can’t even read
School can be hard and teachers even mean,
Its not fun being locked up when you’re seventeen

This one right here, be going out to the girls whose only ten,
Grown looking girls, who follow they friends,
Watching the videos, and do what they see,
Yo kanye, I wanna be a dancer on mtv. Can you help me?
Look after yourself and u can become a star,
Gaining popularity, leaving people in awe.
The next pretty young thing, the updated version,
But whatever you do, don’t hang with the wrong person
Used to be the life of the party, now has the party in a pill.
Re-releasing her album just to pay the bills.
Friends grew tired, family grew cold, had so much potential
Now she’s ugly and old
She still craves the attention, like she’s addicted to meth,
Leans in for hugs, people hold they breath,
Cause she smells of corrosion and death.
All that she had, just got up and left.

Life has so much, but can end up so wrong,
Stranded alone like a lil’ king kong.
That’s why to you I’m singing this song
Cause a time like for ever, for ever ever, for ever ever,
For ever ever, is really quite long.
Theres a fire that burns for all of eternity,
it wants to light you on fire for all of infinity,
sounds like a long time, well yeah most definitely!
I’ll throw in a shamless plug for a place called trinity.

I’m not saying its easy, its always pretty hard.
You always gotta keep yourself on guard.
So bring it before my holy brother Jesus
He’s got the answer you always have needed.
He’s won the battle, got the wounds that have bleeded
Between us and the Father He has forever interceded.

Theres the truth, let it be told, so our youth can grow
They turn to him to survive, to gain control.
Nobody said you had to be gangstas or whores.
Turn to jesus the choice is yours
Ghetto children, like an oyster is the world
Like a lion crouched on all fours.

So go on sunshine, do your thing,
Submit your life to your king,
Legions of angels will stop and sing
Unto Him, unto Him, unto Him.

any ideas are welcomed in the comments, peace dudes.
