You ever met a starvin artist?
so far its hardest to keep the food on the plate
I've got No options, all i can do is just wait
But I'm screwin wit fate, hopin the game'll love me
feelin deceived by God like a preacher came and touched me
but it aint enough, see Ive got a son I'm responsible for
The world's got me feelin defeated like I was sponsoring Gore
Im stompin the floor tryin to find gold, but It's not my time though
its like I'm blind So I cant even see the message my mind's told
its like times slow nothing's barely movin around me
I'm trapped in a place and the Devil's choosin the boundaries
The Liquor aint a solution but i abuse it to calm me
I always brought in the money, Now All I can do is the laundry!!
But I stay writin wit the intentions somebody may like em
and get me out from under this storm and the same lightnin
Todays frightning its just pitch black like the stars departed
Try to push our bars the farthest cuz its too hard as a Starvin Artist

 
You ever met a starvin artist?
so far its hardest just to keep the bills paid
spit these in real ways but payment on the heat is still late
please conceal hate and give us a chance to overcome the odds
we cant keep our kids fed in the winter wit only summer jobs
I got a passion for spittin, I'm designed to be a rapper man
devisin a master plan, So I dont see my guys bein a back up band
layin off workers, What are we prayin for?
Ask for some sunshine but everyday it pours
Some cats spit wack shit, and they made it to gold
I aint takin that road cuz I aint gonna trade in my soul
Any life brings struggles and plenty fights
I'm stressed here so I've shed tears many nights
when I die I wanna be a figure my son'll be proud of
How does a soul survive in this cold world without love
The rap games full of killers though and my hearts the target
Tryin to be a stars the hardest when your stuck as a Starvin Artist
 

You ever met a starvin artist?
This how id class it, struggles a more suitable word
Wearing a vest in the hood, wantin' a suit in the 'burbs
Using my phone as a mic, blue toothing recordings
Desperate to prove that im dope, this a suitable warning
We'd shoot in the mornings, an' robs shit in the night
Never saw peoples pain, jus a platinum disk was in sight
Selling all i could to earn to money for studio time
Knowing deep down without success im losin' my mind
Droppin' random disses abusin who shines
Ignoring others advice, fuck em the conclusion was mine
Criticising my style yet not realising the truth
You come from my world, my actions a' coinciding with you
Ima keep strugglin' till my son has a room
So keep smilin' i dont give a fuck if it's funny to you
Cause im time best believe ima be carving past this
And in a few months time...you won't see a starving artist

Awesome shit. I'm sorry I haven't been able to finish writing to this. I did 16 bars but I figured it wouldn't be enough to I was waiting to see if something else popped in my mind.
I like the concept and the execution. I hope you don't mind me posting my verse someday.

First verse was the dopest.
Second was cool
Third kinda fell off for me in terms of rhymes and flow...

But you stuck to the topic very well, and you never trailed off. It's very consistent and on point and that's something to be proud of.

The topic is cool, lyrically it reminds me of some living legends stuff.
Keep on collaborating, you guys do well together.
PEEACE

I like the concept. Very good collab, good choice of pickin' Kay to collab with... Shit complimented each other. I felt Stalin's first verse was better than his 2nd... Just some slicker ideas to me, A couple quoteables in each, like the preacher line, and the "around me" rhyme all the way to the "laundry" rhyme just flowed effortlessly... The second verses standouts were the summer jobs and "everyday it pours" lines... and Kay did his usually good writing on a given topic... You could see the different style... Seemed more straightforward and specific as in telling a story while Stalin's seemed more general... Both good angles at it... Peace
