 No more swerves.
This time, just honesty....





Heard that song on the radio, thought about old times
Words make more sense now, got me followin' those lines
My mind drifts to our day, I'd say the pleasures were so fine
Like even the bad times hold treasure like gold mines
Cos we kissed n made up the whole night we stayed up
Bodies intertwined like hair you'd braid up
Tho I couldn't say "love"- besides it's not like I knew it
I'd never had hurt you if I wasn't influenced
no excuses tho, I blew it - I'm not here to soften blows
I'm here to reveal this side of me that I didn't often show
When you decided to leave, I see I was dumb n naive
I never really thought of you as something I'd need
Too much anger inside's why I'd grit my teeth
Another one hit magician with too many tricks up my sleeve
look at me now, all grown up and I won't budge 
I only tortured the world then cos I wasn't shown love
You got in my way, (sorry) even though it's too late to say it
Don't know why I took this long and why I'd delay it
Hate to sound cliche' but can we make one last moment ours?
I know I made you wait for ages, but this time I brought you flowers

Damn this was deep J...Seems like this might have some real personal emotion.  Thats how it came off to me at least...I love the fact that there's so many different sides to your pieces....extremely diverse writer...

"Cos we kissed n made up the whole night we stayed up
Bodies intertwined like hair you'd braid up"---so simple yet complex at the same time

"I'd never had hurt you if I wasn't influenced
no excuses tho, I blew it - I'm not here to soften blows
I'm here to reveal this side of me that I didn't often show"---the writing is just so smooth its like your just having a normal conversation...

Too much anger inside's why I'd grit my teeth
Another one hit magician with too many tricks up my sleeve---haha this was dope i liked this line

"I know I made you wait for ages, but this time I brought you flowers"----talk about flippin the script...I loved how you put the picture at the bottom to play off your closing line...

classy J

Preciate the looks, Ex. I definitely wanted to go with a more realistic honest verse. I didn't want it to be abstract, but there is an underlying theme.

I wanted to see if people would feel it. I feel like I been to repetitive lately, I wanna try different stuff.

very good drop start to finish.. you can feel the emotion, flow was on point and anyone could rap it aloud and it would go smooth the whole way...I like these type of reads the most, a lot of originality

Good on the looks, Kosmo. Still way off on the meaning though.

This was probably my 5th time reading it. Feeding when youre on the phone is a hassle.
The dumb and naive/something id see line stood out to me. The meaning/the flow/the multi, it all came together nicely.

Really enjoyed this one. and thats real.

no you're not a fucking genius. people love to dickride on this site. Chain if you really read it 5 times why didn't you leave more detailed feedback if it was that powerful a verse to you.

without question, a good drop. Great flow, you paint a vivid image - which is a skill most textcee's lack. Good use of multi s here and there.

"no excuses tho, I blew it - I'm not here to soften blows
I'm here to reveal this side of me that I didn't often show
When you decided to leave, I see I was dumb n naive
I never really thought of you as something I'd need
Too much anger inside's why I'd grit my teeth
Another one hit magician with too many tricks up my sleeve"

loved this part of the verse in particular. good work, but i'm not calling you a genius because i'm not dickriding you like the above.

I however agree with what exod had to say. - a lot of emotion went into this piece (it seems) which is what makes this verse. Well done.

I have no constructive criticism to give you since most of this/if not all of this was on point and well written in my opinion.
Only thing i might add is that you could have made it longer - however downside of long pieces is that few actually read the whole thing.

anyway good work.

Preciate it, Phen. Keepin it 100 with ya tho, CHAIN is far from a rider of mine. If ya peep some of my older verses, dude was harsh on me. He's also the first dude on ere to PM me to discuss something I said that he wasn't feelin. I'm cool with all feed, all of it helps me grow.

Genius really is a subjective term and I know I'm far from where I want to be as a writer. For instance didn't anybody even catch that the narrarator in this verse is speaking to his former lover that he killed while driving drunk? Clues to the wreck are all through the verse and even the title but nobody said "I get it" yet. My goal is to be able to connect like that and trust, I know I'm far from it.

Much appreciated on the detailed feed and I agree I am no genius.
