people call me strange simply cause i'm a stranger/
but i find it strange in how they find contentment in the nine to five laboring/
maybe its just me or maybe its built in their nature/
or maybe i'm just lost in a matrix of loose leaf papers/
i don't know, but i see things that most don't/
six AM, a bright yellow sphere rises and floats/
the city is born with the honking of horns like daylight equals hope/
and all are abandoned as the constellations grab hold and choke/
this city is born, it breathes, and it dies/
you can feel her last kiss under the street lights/
..........and.......thats about how far i get in anything that i'm trying to write. that there fills 53 seconds of a 4 minute and 38 second song. what the fuck. why can't i stay on topic for more than just a couple bars?!? its times like these where i wish i had just gotten shot a billion times like 50 cent and make songs about that all day and night. any suggestions?? besides going out and getting shot of course....

I have a suggestion actually, i made a new beat yesterday with you in mind. Tried to do something that would fit with your flow & came up with a kind of raw melancholy beat with a floating flute/piano sample over the top. Was thinking maybe a few verses about the no drinking thing, how it's made you feel, friends reactions, the return to clarity that sort of thing. The beat i did kinda fits that vibe i reckon. I'll finish it off in the next few days & send it.
In the meantime maybe you could go with the Busta Rhymes method: when he split from his original crew (think it was Leaders Of The New School) he had total writers block for like a year or something. Then one day he was listening to the radio & 8th Wonder by the Sugarhill Gang came on & the line "Woo-Haa got you all in check" just stuck in his brain & inspired him to write his first hit of the same name using that line as the hook. So, get listening to plenty hip hop & see if any lines jump out that mean something to you at this point in time. It worked for Busta!
Peace out, hope the lyrics start flowing again soon.
