This is something that I wrote to a beat from a song I heard not too long ago. I doubt I'll be able to put my verse on said song and since I kinda summed up everything I was tryna get out in the 16 bars I doubt I'll ever record it so I thought I'd post it up here...
Now I've got the view from above cos I slew for the dove
Blowing up like John Woo in a club
Are you looking for love or a little bit more
My hearts numb, it once was as asssured as yours
Now it beats out the rythm for the once living dead
As I march on oblivion, visions in my head
I should of read what they said but instead I stay vex
Now we get right down to the apex
Of the thoughts that contort and distort my reality
Walls closing in like Virtual Insanity
Actual facts relayed to my brain
Got lost on the way so I couldn't see straight
I'm tryna maintian a level plane in the grey
But my heart and my brain were disagreeing that day
Now I see the way that this film is gonna play
So I exit stage left, roll the credits and fade...
I'm trying a new way of writing verses. I don't use a pen or paper I just listen to the beat over and over again and store it up in my head, this is the first verse I've tried like that so it's a big step forward.
Anyway, gotta tidy my room. My bro's fiance and brother and coming over from Romania on Wednesday and the brother is staying in my room. That means I;ve gotta spend two weeks sleeping in a hot, stuffy and very bright conservatory. It's a good thing I;m not gonna be here much for the next few weeks
