hey y'all. this is a collab by bago's request. he asked me, then ted if I didn't. so I was like, why not all 3 of us. ted did his first, and bago and I were thinkin of droppin the whole idea cuz it just wasn't comin' to us. No sooner did I tell ted I was done, I ended up writin' it. Then bago did his. The whole subject of this "what does it mean to u to be a rapper and why U do it type stuff". So here's are 3 verses.

bigted

"In order to get into the heart of the present

I have to remember when I started jotting lyrics

I had no direction as an artist

I was only wanting to impress this chick

But she wasn't giving me any credit

This is the 1st time that I ever spoke of this

It took me awhile before I would grow into sense and

Confidance of really able to keep myself open

I'm a lot like my late grandmother 'cause she was poetic

All of this poetry I've spoken

Has been inspired from moments of growing

One day you say you ain't doin' this for money, but your style's wack and unfocused

When the next day I see you on TV braggin' about your piles of doe and fast chicks

That lifestyle's isn't for me, I just come to get on the mic to flow

Just like you're doing your job, I don't want you to look at me like a God

I just do this bring to life the words I jot

We all can express ourselves

I personally don't mind if you download or buy this off the shelf

Knowin' that you spend time to listen to me let's me know that you understand how I felt

I'm now in control 'cause I realise with this gift I could do well

This expression is more like a breeze from the ocean

I'm not tryin' to be the average mc 'cause I've been chosen

To take a different journey since this isn't somethin' that you'd start promoting

I don't rhyme about jewlery, checks, or clothing

"I ain't 'bout beef" so I won't diss

My words are like a time capsule that has yet to be open

And you can call me Gracia rather than just Big Ted when you take notice

'Cause what matters to me is not being your favorite lyricist, just relate as a close friend

Who's down to concentratin' on kickin' it or have an open ear for moments of consolement

The real hip-hop is over here! In case you didn't already know this

Now I'm gonna take a break to hear Michael and Joe spit"

FuQ

Rap has been a craze, in all my days, as an individual

Gettin' attack by wack rappers, like I'm subliminal

I'm spinnin stress like a disc on my desk

Lookin out my window tryna catch a breathe *breaths*

My problems keep re-runnin' like a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode

Stackin my lyrics like it's all that I load

By defintion, I'm a Found MC

that's never ever been Lost, just not always involved in a cause

They sweat me bout rappin' rhythms, speakin my Words of Wisdom

Influencin' the children, and dammit I'm not makin a million

I guess I won't mean nothin' til I die, kill me and let me go

Success in my sufferin' like Vincent van Gogh

Swim in my flow cuz it goes 4ever

Goes deep but U'll never drown and U can't measure

I feel exhilirated when I sense hatred

Fight back and reap what they sow cuz of the way they made it

Never ever be faded, there's no volume to me

I'll stop when I'm ready, I'm givin U all of me

U mighta threw back jerseys, but U can't wit rhymes

cuz it will still be around in the test of time

bagotrasho

Well look at me the rap rookie

My rhymes sweeter than a chocolate chip cookie

Some people ask me How

Did you come to rap

Well I’ll tell you now

Just chillin out wit my friend

In my basement our time we’d spend

Studyin for a test while surfin JJFP.com

Questions back to back “Whats the capital of Vietnam?”

“Hey study for the test, you know you really should”

“Hey check this out some of these rappers are pretty good”

“Could you imagined if we rapped for a livin?”

“With the money, the fame, and of course the fly women!”

“But we couldn’t possibly rap, we’re 13 year old white kids

Whatever we came up with would be crap”

“Hey lets at least give it a try!”

“Then my friend let out a little sigh”

“So into rap mode I transformed”

And that’s when How I Battle was born

Ever since then writin rhymes

Consumes all my time

Well that’s exactly what happened how I came to rap

Now all that’s left is for you to clap

Fuq-Great job man, you were pretty straight forward on your ideas as usual, keep expressin' that passion

Bigted - Great as usual, nice with your last line, makes it feel more like a collab than just three individuals.

FuQ: Great stuff, maybe not as good as your full songs but still very good.

Bagotrasho: Good! You are pretty much on bigteds and FuQs level, and they are both very experienced so you should be proud by holding it on the same level :)

Hey I appreciate the comment but I'm no where near Ted or FuQ

I actually like the way this collab came out a lot 'cause there wasn't a hook on it, you don't need to have a hook on every song for it to be dope.
