I found a moment to reflect…then 
It turned into a moment of disgust, and
Plus I’m too broke to pay the rent 
I’m finna crash so buckle up, friend
Tequila sunrise in need of love ties
Choke holdin’ bottle necks & sometimes
I fall flat when I buzz by…
Look at these lush eyes 
Look at the cuts that made the bloodlines
When will it subside? 
Curb my intentions of womanizin’
The latest bird, my fashion sense 
Can make it work, smell my ego 
The fragrance is made with hurt
Stay awhile, just food for thought
Who knew it’d be you it cost?
I guess the mirror’s what threw me off
In love from head to Louis Vuitton’s
This ain’t the 90’s but you the bomb
See since I was 13 I knew what these words mean
Fallin’ on deaf ears but they heard me
It painted the perfect canvas, mercy
Survivin’ this shark tank of bloody water
Hidin’ career happiness with muddy honor
I see my entire world in my lovely daughter
Any man with a girl turns to putty, don’t ya?
I am lucky huh bruh?
Tryna find my rhythm &, concentrate
These lines are Ritalin & my mind is fizzlin’
To complicate, rhymes & multiply the dividends
After some mouthfuls it’s like I tried with cinnamon
Tried to be Infinite, tried to be Eminem
In 2005 I was disciplined, 10 years later I’m missin’ it
Never took the scenic route of bein’ true
The music speaks to you
& lately she’s bein’ mute

Brothaman,
 
This was hella nice. The flow was great. It gave me that hard bass feeling while reading it. I wish this was a little longer tbh. The content was nice man. You have some sick skills with catching attentions. The concepts, vocabulary, word placement and multis where leveled well. This was nice. Just remember that music is a way to honestly express yourself. good stuff here

Another nice Om from you ill, you keep a tight flow in this piece, the rhyme scheme to me seems innovative or at least the placement seems unorthodox to me in the best of ways, a creative approach you had that definitely paid dividends. What sets you aside from most is that when I read your OMs I can really see it being placed against music without the need for an Audio mic to help me see that. Good job. Good thinking using italics btw.

Dope man. Really liked the genuine emotion here. I was just vibin to a mellow track off Yelawolfs new album called Tennessee Love which really amplified the mood you set here. Dope rhymes, excellent portrayal of emotion, all round good read. Felt like you coulda kept going for twice the length, left me wanting more which is a fine compliment in itself.

Wow...

A lot going on in this piece man, real deep and heartfelt. You truly convey your mixed emotions throughout each line. Lyrically this was dope, the wording and flow was slick. You definitely took a different approach woth the rhyme schemes, cool shit man.
