It seems the older I get
The more that's unsaid
Now-a-days nobody know what to expect
Whether your living in a house-or outside shiv'rin to death
So now you searchin for a little ounce of respect
Trying to find a single bullet in this game of roulette
Never lacking a moment-
Walking back and forth until you find a crack in the road and
Trying to find a way around without your path getting broken
They say a star never fades?
Well that's a hell of a statement
Cause lots of talent goes to waste because they lackin the patience
Let's face it...
Everyone wants to be famous and known
Take a place on the throne-but never wanna face the trials that put stains on their soul
Wanna be shameless-wanna claim that they can make it alone
We went from Hall of fame to Wall of shame its heinous I know
And still the greatest of feats?
To walk a mile in the shoes of someone you think you can be
To prove everybody wrong that's been doubting your speech
And weigh you down to prove that you won't make it out of the streets

The older I get...ha...the more I seem to hate where I'm livin
So I'll just sit inside this notebook and continue my scribblins

Well this was a decent piece,like the way you captured the
daily strife ppl feel and want,thinking the grass is greener
that there's something better,I also liked the part where you
take comfort from your scribbles,although the topic has been
done countless times,I still got the feeling it came of as
a fresh verse,struggles are struggles,that I believe makes
and forms character,all in all a decent drop,the only thing
holding this verse back is mechanics,but that will come soon,
good work....peace.

i agree with what crimson stated  you captured the concept pretty well

Now-a-days nobody know what to expect
Whether your living in a house-or outside shiv'rin to death
So now you searchin for a little ounce of respect
Trying to find a single bullet in this game of roulette

this got the message across with a nice flow ^^^^

Everyone wants to be famous and known
Take a place on the throne-but never wanna face the trials that put stains on their soul
Wanna be shameless-wanna claim that they can make it alone

these few lines were dope "face the trials that put stains on their soul" nice

this was a decent read keep'em commin

See this was much much much better than the last OM of yours I commented on.  You slowed down your scheme so to speak.   This did not seem as rushed what so ever as compared to your last one.  Damn dude for real theres still some things you need to work on but you def flipped the script on this one.  Your flow was so much better in so many different ways.  The concept was cool.  You executed this very nicely.  I am really impressed with this.

keep doing your thing and keep finding your own style.  This was a vast improvement from your last work. I'm glad to see you improving.

keep doing it

The content here was relatable due to me perceiving it as universal a lot of the aspects hit home and I see you have good audio feats I could see by the lyrics the flow was consistent structure needed alil more work I say but overall this was good keep it up
