Was inspired by Quiet storm instrumental, shit's is below par but don't read without a feedback on how I can improve..



[Verse one]


It's 3; 40am on the dot; a call dropped, n the next 3 minutes he's off
Threw his jacket on, snatched the car keys and head to the parking lot
Wasn't sure what he was in for, never had a moment of thought
Maybe he's chasing papers of course, to where the pays are for sure
So he had his Glock on lock, quiet storm, mouth's always shut
Fed with many slots, unlocked and ready for shots
Guess that means duty calls, more bodies is gon' drop
Feds better not interrupt, y'all better stay indoors
5 minutes was all it burnt cooking the hideous plot
Turned the ignition on, steer the wheels as he let the exhaust burst
Many plan a war through prayers, others with guns
You either go for Bible or Rifle, Both are still weapons
10 minutes later it's mayhem, several bodies on the floor
Two sisters on stilettoes, a teenage son; now on their way to God
A dad next to his briefcase, a mom with her child unborn
When bullets rains, it pours, the whole scene is painted blood.


[Hook]

Calm but peaceful, his motto, the act is deceitful
Nigga strapped with an issue that equal a C-2
He sees through your tissues, lungs, cells, make you wish you
You aren't his next victim cause he ain't gonna miss you
Arms around his pistol, the only thing he got a grip to
Arms around his pistol, the only thing that feels how he feels too


[Verse two]


It's 3;40 pm on the dot, he was seeing a movie when a call dropped
Telling him he's got a job, never asked what; the nature of his work
Come along with your gun tucked as he quickly reach for his shorts
Burst out of the crib with enough gut, equalling a 10-man mob
10 minutes was all it caused getting to his client's spot
Straight to business as usual Todd, that was all he could talk
This one is a bit odd but I bet it's worth the shot
And better not get caught, said Todd, or it's your lose
5 minutes before, he was just inside of a store
Refilling his Glock slots, fed it, the beast ate it all
Hate to stall so he left quickly through the back door
It's a fun to some, to others a time to hit the jack pot
Called his homie on the block, asked him if he's got the balls
To spill a whole family's blood, nigga are you in or what?
Guess we're all in need of the buck whether large or small
So the homie said he's down with the hideous plot
5 minutes later it's mayhem, severed bodies on the floor
A girl and a boy, laying next to the couch with bruises n' cuts
With a mom whom already caught a bullets to her jaw
A dad humbly laid to rest with series of shots
When bullets rains it pours, the whole scene is painted blood.

Nice to read a piece from you again,it's been awhile eh,



[Verse one]


It's 3; 40am on the dot; a call dropped, n the next 3 minutes he's off
Threw his jacket on, snatched the car keys and head to the parking lot
Wasn't sure what he was in for, never had a moment of thought
Maybe he's chasing papers of course, to where the pays are for sure
So he had his Glock on lock, quiet storm, mouth's always shut
Fed with many slots, unlocked and ready for shots
Guess that means duty calls, more bodies is gon' drop
Feds better not interrupt, y'all better stay indoors
5 minutes was all it burnt cooking the hideous plot
Turned the ignition on, steer the wheels as he let the exhaust burst
Many plan a war through prayers, others with guns
You either go for Bible or Rifle, Both are still weapons
10 minutes later it's mayhem, several bodies on the floor
Two sisters on stilettoes, a teenage son; now on their way to God
A dad next to his briefcase, a mom with her child unborn
When bullets rains, it pours, the whole scene is painted blood.

(Now i see you've incorporated a rolling theme story board type verse here,which
was nice as it gives the tale some substance,plus it adds direction too which is
also a big bonus for the reader,this piece rhymed well enough via the inner/end
rhymes,the problem this segment suffers from is multi's in the form of syllables,
you had multi's in the way of word but they made for a basic rhyme scheme that
read as simple in design,(i'll stress now though,nothing wrong with simplicity,as
keeping pieces simple can aid a drop in many ways (flow/progression/scope/&
understanding) to name a few benefits,what hampered your multi's (word) here
was the lack of syllables,you went instead for the same sounding vowels that
promotes (assonace),which is also a solid character to use in any and all rhyme
forms,but without more rhyming syllables it gave this piece a flat vibe on reading,
i liked the contents here,had a kind of a hit man feel about it,wiping out a family
via a job that came from a telephone call,yep you've made curious as to where
this is heading..)

(for the record,and as a form of an apology,i don't like hooks in text or on tracks
really,but i'll persevere and feed this still,over using the words 'you' and 'to' didn't
help really,it marred the flow some here in my opinion,it seemed to break the vibe,
plus i didn't think it contributed much to the verse as a whole,(this is just me and
my preference here so pls take it with a pinch of salt as the next man who feeds
this might like hooks..)

(i really liked the using of the first verse as a template for this 2nd verse here,the
mirrow-ing effect was creative i thought and a cool inclusion as a complete piece,
i do feel this drop would actually benefit more as an audio track rather than a text
piece,as pitch and tones bring out the accent native to your tongue,as you know
pronunciation of words varies from Country to Country even though its still English,
overall i liked this segment more than the 1st really,this time it felt like a gang/set/
crew drive by scenario,i also thought your vocab was better and directed too,yeah
on the whole i liked it,would like to hear it in an audio version though,still good work..)
peace.

Always spreading the wings of wisdom, every feedback is a gift from you Crim'. Thanks man cause I believe this will help a lot. I would have made it a direct audio track if I was with everything necessary at the time cause it flowed kinda okay to the beat.
