Open Mic: House of Pain ft. Chain

   There's no way out, it seems I can't get free... Somebody tell me what's happenin' to me!

Chain:
My face is a book and they judge it by its cover 
They can’t read a word and they wonder why I cover...
Up what I really feel, I’m stuck inside a chapter 
Can’t turn the pages ‘cause luck provides no back up
Paragraphs of drama, Lucifer’s the novelist 
Ruthlessly incompetent, refused to be an optimist
Student with no scholarship, I paid the price for learning 
By trial and fucking error, it changed my life for certain 
I played it right at certain stages of my story 
When I found out that having patience wasn’t corny  
When it comes to self, I kinda get dyslectic 
Can’t read the sentences, blinded by a death wish
Stressing while guessing what to make of this nonsense
‘Cause the book doesn’t come with tables of content
I know that it was written, but this kid is Illmatic
Living in a house of pain where shit just gets tragic...

Calibra:
I'm talkin' with a Broken Language, think broken thoughts
Can't cope; I've spoke of damage from this trojan horse
When I'm alone, I panic, need to close the door
I had a kind, warm heart ripped out by frozen claws
Can't be a slave to your passin', to this burden im a slave
And when death's a part of life I'll be turnin' in my grave
Earnin' what I'm gave but steady burnin' at the stake
Flyin' on a chosen path that only turbulence can break
Purposely mistake me for who you used to know
Refuse to go, until I'm introduced to hope
Fatal blows dealt by life that my abuse provoked
Then fit the rhymes into lines until the rooster crows
There's several roads to success, I couldn't count the lanes
I can say that I'm the best but people doubt the claims
An abundance of talent don't amount to fame
Put out the flame, I'm livin' in the house of pain!

	Chain, nice verse...rhythm was back on point from the last drop, and you still have those clever hitters...only minor issue I had was the use of the same words a couple of times (minus vocab points)...otherwise, good verse Calibra, quality verse...one or two of the multis were a tad bumpy, otherwise, spot on...liked the start & middle more than the end, some quality lines in there, especially liked the turbulence one Good stuff Edited by Cuba - 17 February 2010 at 9:44pm

	Paragraphs of drama, Lucifer’s the novelist Ruthlessly incompetent, refused to be an optimist CHAIN- dope verse overall, this was my highlight, just perfect wording and all that shizzle. I'm talkin' with a Broken Language, think broken thoughts Can't cope; I've spoke of damage from this trojan horse Dope, and very different from CHAINs. This was the perfect opener, and just made me think "shit.. this is gonna be good.." Keep up fella's, reppin' Era brilliantly at the mo'..

	When I'm alone, I panic, need to close the door I had a kind, warm heart ripped out by frozen claws That was fucking illy, loved the imagery and flow there. Chain you came dope as usual, and Chain was very on spot as well. You two have very similar writing styles imo, and you compliment each other well. I really liked that line that Kiki quoted as well from Chain, great job guys.
	The original comeback kid

	First verse is just piff second verse is straight in terms of flow, but lyrically it could have had more substance. This shit is real smooth tho guys, good job. I would recommend adding a little more substance in terms of topic tho.. You called it house of pain but I didn't really feel as if you touched down on a subject of any kind. There's like all this small portraits with no big picture...ya digg I dunno, thats me. keep doing your thing. peace
