this may not be amazing but I needed to write it to get shit off of my chest. 


Son Of An Addict:

I'm being pre judged, due to the things my father has done
They say I'll be like him, I act like they don't bother me none
The things they say, I feel like they're nonsense and dumb
But it still effects my life, their words have awfully stung
I'm not gonna fumble though, I'll stay up on my feet
I pray nothing defeats me, but they keep on fucking with me
They tell me I'll live on the streets, selling drugs for loot
Then they wanna make peace with me? Nah, fuck your truce 
It truly is hard, living life the way that I live
My hand grip loosens, and I only hang by the tips
Meaning suicide is on my mind, but I won't escape it like this
I'll on keep moving, even when people pray that I quit
I won't end up like my father, a druggie dead beat dad
They only say I will in hopes that it will get me mad
It honestly does though, their words scar me mentally
they say I'll amount to nothing and they harm me endlessly
It's like just because of my fathers actions, no one can trust me
When I meet new people, I don't speak of him till I know that they love me
I know this may seem cheesy, you may think its nothing dramatic
But this is truly how life is when you're the son of an addict

Raw emotion is  always the most important when it comes to writing.  I can relate to this shit a lot...especially the title you dropped.  I feel you...

Your opening bar reallt set the tone...I liked how you opened it.  Overall it was basic but thats ok...thats what these heartfelt drops usually are...its all about the emotion that is put into it...you killed it with that aspect and still kept a more than decent flow to it.  very nice man.  I was feeling this..also technically you ended it nice with the last bar.

good shit

Damn, you've showed an awful lot of improvement since I last read a piece of yours. This has been slept on big time. 

It's like just because of my fathers actions, no one can trust me
When I meet new people, I don't speak of him till I know that they love me

That was a really strong bar right there, I could feel the emotion throughout this. I hope all is well, stay up

Yea, this was a good drop. 

I personally like a more simple approach when dealing with something a little personal/deep. That opener was a perfect start, it's a very good bar. Sometimes the wording was a bit awkward as you really wanted to stick to that scheme/line length/structure. For instance, "their words have awfully stung" is not the smoothest or most natural phrase. "my hand grip loosens" was also a bit suspect for me but the line after that was nice...I thought your last couple of bars were strong too. Overall - It's a good piece as others have said. I like the direct approach. It's a step up of previous verses and I think the wording will continue to get better, just be more wary of it...Also, the only real critique I'd have is that you can always go deeper in terms of focusing on emotions or a message you want to convey. I personally enjoyed this verse and thought the opener hooked me in. I also wanna shout out the "love me" line and the closer was a good finish. Keep it up.

Nice internals and multies, and i can relate to this. My father was no addict, but he died and I had to grow up without him. I can feel the emotion in this piece and it is very intense and raw in emotion. I slept on this for 3 months but I'm glad i finally read it. Props bro. 8.1/10

Neeeecccrrrooooooo lol playin, I'm glad you upped this actually as I wasn't here when it dropped.  Sometimes H4ZE it's incredibly difficult to believe you're the age you are.  This is one of those times.  I'll be honest aswell, if you expanded on this aswell, the raw emotion in the content would make for an absolutely incredible audio track. THIS is what hip hop's about. Fuck all that impressing people and ridiculous multies, hiphop is a culture of self-expression. The djays play music in a way no other dj can, the bboys aren't spinning around to make the audience cheer, they're doin it to get all the pent up emotion out, they're essentially "bearing their hearts through dance" the graffitti artist uses his paint and style to beautify the dull urban landscape with pure emotion, and when an emcee really puts themselves out there and expresses truly from the heart NOTHING is more stirring to the audience. I love it, best thing I've read in ages, and I'll be talking to you more about it when it's not 5am and I'm not drowsy as hell with insomnia. A piece like this one (although audio not text) is actually what made me decide to add emceeing to the other 3 elements of hiphop I was already involved in, and readin ghtis reminds me why I do it. Excellent work.

yo man, nice drop here, simplicity was key, i seen it as more of a poem, matter of fact didn't really need the rhymes the emotion was so present, that it could stand without'em, a little more metaphor, imagery or whatever and you'd not make them see what you're saying but you'd pull them right down into that pit with you, powerful shit, looking foward to more, peace
