I'm chilling in the shadows with death at my crib
Walk a mile in my shoes, step in my shit
Love quips, I'm wrecking that shit
While the weight tends to wait an press on my lids
Lash out, lashed back, eye lash of trashed guy
While I question your method and ask why?
Question a question, the pressure and time
The lessons in question, prepare for the landslide
Speed thinker, I'm always racing with thought
Living for the reaper when I'm chasing a plot
A man simply believing he's embracing the cost
Of a dream, then it bleeds his esteem, erasing him off
Running from the past, two stepping with the wind
Left questioning my sins, then I figured out- Destiny's a bitch
How my son's left guessing if it's him?
So I guess wrestling with this is reflecting on my kid
My mind weighs heavy on this shit, it's a burden on my thoughts
Might as well go and urine on my plot,
Cuz`my hearts purpose is certain that it stopped
Pumping blood, trusting love, it's a servant to the cost
A version that is lost, lost between the darkest hour
You could say the truth scares me like an honest coward
Harvest flowers, when I'm searching for the other side
Where the colors fly around the little place where thunder hides

You conveyed the thoughts that a father would have well, and that felt personable. The piece also had good flow throughout, I would only ask for you to be a little cleaner with the word choice, such as when you rhymed shit, with shit.

Nice content there. I liked how I could see a man spitting out and conveying his emotions. The flow was pretty good too. However, you definitely could have had a better rhyme scheme and more multis to help with your flow. Apart from that, it's a nice drop.

Good story about someone whose lost hope
What is your dream? Have an idea of what you want
To accomplish and then fill in the framework from there.
Elaborate on this person and his feelings. Maybe
This isn't you but a part of you. Maybe this person
Represents a certain side of you. He is a symbol then
Keep it simple and build

I'm chilling in the shadows with death at my crib
Walk a mile in my shoes, step in my shit
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nice little opener, I don't get where your going with this

Love quips, I'm wrecking that shit
While the weight tends to wait an press on my lids
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This was nice, I liked the usage of vocabulary and rhymes

Lash out, lashed back, eye lash of trashed guy
While I question your method and ask why?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nice usage of wording and how you placed the words
on the first bar. Pretty nice
 
Question a question, the pressure and time
The lessons in question, prepare for the landslide
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this was pretty slick
 
Speed thinker, I'm always racing with thought
Living for the reaper when I'm chasing a plot
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This was pretty nice. I felt like so far this is supposed to
be read fast.
 
A man simply believing he's embracing the cost
Of a dream, then it bleeds his esteem, erasing him off
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bam, liked the was you carried over the first line
nice transistioning
 
Running from the past, two stepping with the wind
Left questioning my sins, then I figured out- Destiny's a bitch
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Liked the "two stepping" part of the first line and the second
bar was a perfect closing to the first line

How my son's left guessing if it's him?
So I guess wrestling with this is reflecting on my kid
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
damn, nice bar right her. Pretty to the point
 

My mind weighs heavy on this shit, it's a burden on my thoughts
Might as well go and urine on my plot,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nice first line. Using "weigh" "heavy" and "Burden" to
emphasize how you are feeling. The second line
could have been worded better and maybe thought
out a little more

 

Cuz`my hearts purpose is certain that it stopped
Pumping blood, trusting love, it's a servant to the cost

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bam, nice usage of rhymes and the multis made this read
smooth. Defo liked this bAR
 

A version that is lost, lost between the darkest hour
You could say the truth scares me like an honest coward
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That last line was hella dope. Nice way to twist this

Harvest flowers, when I'm searching for the other side
Where the colors fly around the little place where thunder hides

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Nice ender. Defo nice
 
 
Overall - This was pretty good brothaman. One thing I was kind ehhh about was the duplication of words being used. It worked ok but it kind threw off the flow. This was still a pretty dope piece and came off very poetic. KEEP AT IT
