I write from a higher place higher than flying planes Cruise the entire race and come in first place Once I finish a piece and pick up a pen and unleash the beast I reach an inner peace, achieve it just to feast and leech On the dark thoughts from within and that part rots And festers til my eyes darken and heart stops I march on until my feet bleed and my knees are weak What does it mean when i have a need to reach When I'm not content where I'm at, feels unpleasant While I tear it up like a bad adolescent Nahh I'm not messing yes this is a blessing But writing with negative energy is depressing And I'm wrestling with the ape inside me It wants to tear open the black hole gaping inside me Aside from the crazy shit occasionally there's amazing bits That makes me think why would you go changing this I spit fire like I'm charizard you can't break me 'coz my bars are hard Ain't no sunshine when my thoughts are dark I'm Polaris the way I'm a star apart Imma half your heart just for shits and giggles ain't no way imma fit in the middle Leave confusions when I throw blows the way I hit with a riddle I throw cheap shots like dropping Whiskey in Lidl and I ain't even mad bro It's like watching 2 girls and a cup the way it's a crap show Call me Peter Sutcliffe when I grab hoes the doubters? I stab those I eat competitors like they're Nachos and backhand them acting macho I clap slow like winning on GTA camera on me and see me slay All the sheep today seeing blood drip leaves me feeling great |

Shanks my dude...this was cool. You always keep the story on point, also much respect on you continuing to up your game. You put in the work and I'll always tip my hat to dudes like that. Overall I enjoyed it, but only part is tighten up your rhyme scheme and syllables. A slight miss and it could throw off a great piece, many people even myself do it. At points a reader could be all in tune, then one slight slip and the reader pulls back.
Just my 2 cents bruh...keep it up tho |

Thanks for the feed Trizz and Lethal, These were actually 2 different verses I was going to drop individually but on reading them both i saw they were very similar in subject so i just thought to drop them both as one Open. That's why the second verse has longer lines than the first lol. But thanks for the feed it is appreciated and helps me grow as a writer.

Shanks,This was a pretty nice read. You had some internals and the flow was consistent and simple. I also liked the direction and content that you dropped here. I think there is some barrier that is stopping you from getting to the next level. You have everything in place and I want to see more intricate pieces with more complex flows/schemes and some upped vocabulary. You have been really consistent since I have joined. I want to see you drop something with more depth technically. I saw you hit me up in the PM's and we do a collabo brothaman.
Nice work

Yo shank cool drop i like the ebtire concept as a whole
The two different formats and their contrasts real enterprising stuff The first half you touched on alot of doubt and the second confidence was the theme i havent seen a read like this from you or any other member lately that makes this a special drop bro dope |
