Talking 2 Myself..

Posted by pinda on January 7, 2011 - 23:20

I went away I guess to open up some lanes
But there was no one who even knew about my growing pains
Hatred was flowing through my veins
On the verge of flipping and going insane
Water flowing down my cheek, and it wasn't the rain
Tired of hearing rappers like Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne
It's like I was jealous because they were signed, and I wasn't
Living their lavish lifestyles, and I was flipping burgers with my cousin
Had to tell myself I'm no longer the man, that's a bitter pill to swallow
All I knew was I was wallowing, self-loathing and hollow
Thinking maybe I'll lose my voice, and hit the bottom tomorrow
My sorrow, echoes through every recording studio as I rap
'Cause that failing mentality was the thing that made me lose the strap
I was almost over and out, with nothing but my balls and my word
A young ambitious rapper in the projects, waiting to be heard
I was falling asleep with writers block in the parking lot of McDonalds
Soon as I got something, it was one foot on the brake and on the throttle
Got home and straight into my studio dome, and started writing
I'd picked myself off the ground and swam before I drowned
Mixed the lyrics of my comeback song with some dope sound
I was finally lyrically gifted, and finally signed and found

Never give up on something you truly feel can be achieved.

Hi Pinda,

I totally agree with your sentiments, never give up
on something you truly feel can be achieved.

I look at poor talanted people like Michael Jackson,
who I though was a genius and think to myself, what
a waste of a life, there will never be another like
him, he was a one off.

I think it's good to struggle for what you want,
because if it does finally come, you appreciate it
all the more.

Hope you don't mind me going on a bit.

Anyway thankyou so much for the read.

Jenny.

Thank you for reading Jenny.

It's so true, that no matter who you are or what you do, you'll always have dreams and ambitions. Those who don't follow up on those dreams, are infact the ones who ask themselves 'what if' later on in life.

You only get one life, so who's to tell you what you can and cannot achieve!

I don't mind you posting these kind of comments Jenny :) It's always a pleasure to know what a talented writer like yourself thinks.
