Soul Grow Old

MannY · 11-19-2006, 01:18 PM

There's a dark side to everything like 2 faced persons/
Lies beneath the layer of fright, my fate worsens/
My hearse drowned in pain 'n innocent ones slain/
As a child, emotions spill, they're never contained/
Yet as we age, friends will die, n' stength will grow/
We slowly develop veins of steel, n' hearts of stone/
Memories reside inside the marrow of my bone/
Outta control, like New Orleans in the Astro-dome/
Thrones are stained in murder wit' starved possession/
Money makin' kids dropout of they school sessions/
The lesson is never endin' cuz' money equals trife/
Paparazzi capturin' moments in a murderer's life/
In they camera, these panorama pictures they build/
Half the world needin' action, so crime is they thrill/
Forever still be growin, molded into a cold/
Hardened spirit... the progress of the soul y'all/

You thought livin' it young was parallel to livin' it fun/
Not, when half your peers totin' guns/
Injuries are critical, death or popped lung/
A gun for both, but the latter could be a blunt, al-so/
These ho's are out for cash quick,
Vomit in my mouth a bit when a pre-teen wanted my dick/
*Bleh*
Sick shit, disgust at the stomach/
6 Pack Tan's, and Lipo instead 'a runnin'/
Iced necks, emotional chicks begin' cuttin'/
My soul takes it slow when niggaz begin' frontin'/
Light the blunt end, realization comes through,
Think about it nigga..the past defines the present you/
*Shit...*
Start to slow the record down a bit, ain't 'cha/
Your life is a picture, I am the vivid painter/
Hate ta', break it to you like this but i'm pissed/
The news ain't bullshit, that is the fucking truth/
A lot of negativity but that is fuckin' YOU/
And your community, and guess what dog, you ain't God,
So no immunity../

*Used to be a text rapper, but now all I do is audio..this is intended for audio.

Started Of Really Well, But Nearer The End The Flow Just Fell Off, Might Sound Better On Audio Tho

thanks!..actually, the second verse flows better on audio IMO. thats the thing about text, people can interpret a flow in different ways.

Though 2nd verse was still dope though.
