The Stop

"I spit that uptown-body-rock-rolley-hop, and will a nigga ever shut me down? prolly not. Cause ever since I was a young lad I crushed emcees, kickin' ass takin' names at the trolley stop."

I skydive upwards.

This track is from Nero over at TheWaveClub. Its pretty dope, I'm really feeling his lyrics...big ups to Nero!
the day that it began i ran, but i resurface
among the people that i beeseched through all my verses
my purpose is to enlighten when writing beat the serpents
in turn i get the boot, i burn but its the fruit
of my creation coming to a pass, stunning through the glass
i observe my words back, oh word you heard that
i get absurd black, out, and swerve i swerve
the nerve of the peanut gallery, sadly
but we must rally against the darkness
volunteer my heart until im heartless
willing to be the martyr, but i shall not barter
i want the entire no i do not want a part of her
i skydive upwards, a shooting flight, every night
most dont comprehend allude that its too bright
but the allure keeps calling me back, and every track
is like a parachute, please pull my cord
tell me i cannot do it, tell me that i will lose
tell me that im wasting my energy when i peruse
hate on the path i choose, to move fast with
so enthusiastic are the irrelevant and zealous
eclectic, electric, eccentric
is what they chant upon my exit
next scene is the dream, so please keep tryna hold me down
i will elevate, whether you do or dont celebrate
i proved them wrong when they told me that i couldnt rap
i proved them wrong when they told me that my gear was wack
i proved them wrong when they told me i’d adhere to black
stereotype facades, so baby theyll applaud
at the end of this march, the daykeeping starts
the sunshine captured in my shirt pocket, becomes released
so even in the midnight hour i dont cease if lumination shall decrase,
so the plane is directly above the bullseye
so excuse me while i descend amongst a full sky
its time for me to fly away from this mass slump
i shooting star pressure through it on my last jump

"Abracadabra the crowd went def..."


Departure

As the tears welled up in my eyes, my momma said son what happened? Sometimes i cant breathe cuz theres so much crap man, I called on god but he dont call back and, fight to stay sane while the devils laughin', Last night I was across the tracks, with freddy and black teddy just playin a crap game, smokin' on stank, sippin' on drank, when Brian came flyin' up the block like batman, *pant* *pant* mini got killed, his wig got peeled in the cali yoo, by some 10 ward niggas that we barley know, i said hold up woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, you must be jokin', but he wasn't laughin', Freddy passed out in the grass and thats when, his mother came outside, and said wheres mini? i looked down at the ground I don't know where hes at ma'am, lump in my throat i just lost my best friend, Connecticut mini with the east-coast accent,Top it all off, my older cousin mookie got caught with some yellow cap valves of crack man, Its time for me to leave home, ah thats that man, it aint much left here to see for a black man, Ima spread my wings, persue this rap thing, kiss my baby sister, tell her ill be back, im on I-10 eastboud to manhattan, NYC yes sir thats rapland, a one way ticket, a trunk of clothes, i spent my last 25 cent on pacman, mister bus driver set me free, just take me to New York and let me be.
