FuQ - Promotional Freestyle

Recommended Posts

I hadn't recorded a freestyle in a while, and I seem to be accustom to doing one before I "put out" an album. After I recorded a song, I did a freestyle to two beats. Little Brother's "Hiding Place", and Talib + Hi Tek's "Ghetto Afterlife". I'm not sure about posting it. Here's the lyrics tho. I couldn't make everything out, but I'm definately getting better freestyling. I typed it as accurate as possible, even what's not literally correct. Feedback appreciated.

“Promotional Freestyle”

Intro:

Yo, where you gonna hide, when that 2006 Peace of Mind drops?

Yo, yo, come on, be like…

Where ya goin’ hide..

Yo, where ya goin’ run? Nowhere

Yo, yo, yo

Verse:

You mind as well just let me the **** thru

I’ll be on that high school mode of the attitudes

where b****es get fooled

It’s not understand, don’t mess wit my food

Or I’ll do you like Talib Kweli said he do on “Rock On”

Feelin’ it and bein’ we can box on

This is how we do it and gettin’ wit the track

Something to form, back in 1986

I was born in a section when the Jesus get fixed

with a not face on religion or the superstition

with the prestigious of crack in the way that we livin’

And in advance, so, put ya wristbands in the air

Understand, feelin it, rock it up in the cd player

Mispronounce my name, you get ****!

Then you understand it’s like to get ducked

But ain’t no bullets fired, desire to bein’ gangstas

All this time 50 Cent years on, and still wankstas

Understand where ya gonna hide

Can’t hide nowhere when I drop the vibe

Yo, understand where ya, can’t hide

Yo, can’t nowhere, when I drop the vibe

Spoken:

Aight, might as well go speechless with that one

Yo, where ya gonna hide…

Verse:

Yo, I got the ?persive? decisive

for all the personalities that wanna feel like they can understand the lifeness

Nobody can write the likeness of my story

That’s why I tell it myself, and when I spit, it’s not boring

Even if I kick it simplistic

and go easy and deep spoken like as if I was Rakim

Gettin in so many of them emcees

Where ya destiny to be, gettin down on ya knees

But you suck worse than a ho giving fellatio

Understand what it’s like to get the dough

Want any mo’ spinnin chains?

You went from chains to ya ankles to chains on ya neck

And even tho still you get and cause disrespect

Hip hop’s drawn down the line

It’s like dark vs light, black vs white

And wrong vs right, but that one’s ok, even tonight

And understand the recite, understand what it’s like

Lookin down in the face, you feelin these mics

And feelin the hype of spittin, competition may get electrocuted

Try to understand you might as well just sit like Buddhas

Where ya gonna hide when it’s understandin’ wit the statutory

Never boring, understand you makin more and

Lookin into Pac eyes, poster’s on my wall

Tryna figure out if I can stand, and got the gaul

Pack more lyrics than can be put in a U-Haul

Understand the van of movin’, I got the hands I’m raisin’

to smack them like I’m Pimp C n****

Understand the way of gettin’ back and bein figures

Can’t help but cuss and can’t help the suction

of bitin’ their style, milk’s gone sour

And so I devour the power

All these emcees think they last when they cds ain’t worth the hour

What it mean to pay ‘em $18

Then, uh, how you do it, makin’ everybody holla

I got my favorite flavor like LL comin’ out

When I drop it down wet, rain, ain’t no droughts

Ain’t no routes, of where ya goin’ hide

Feel the vibe

You ain’t hidin’ nowhere when the vibe come out

Yo, this Peace of Mind, yo yo, this Peace of Mind

Verse:

Yo, straight line path finder, yo pack and got symmetry

This is how I do it, take it slow with my delivery

Thinkin’ the freestyle was nonexistent

and then it’s something bout the way I got it, like John Legend “Get Lifted”

And you can understand I’m getting’ spirited

way that I been kickin it

Yo, you might as well be shack like the radio that’s sellin you appliances

Then you can understand why I rock it and it’s kinda getting a pack

and a feelin’ over all of these bitches

What is gettin’ ????

Where ya goin’ hide, nowhere for the vibe

“Ghetto Afterlife” is what’s next, beat on the mind, right

(“Ghetto Afterlife” Instrumental comes in)

Haha, I told you

Verse:

Yo yo, they these n****z aint thugs, the real thugs is the government

Well, I’m a be very re-bel-lious

George Bush might as well get outta here wit that

Ran from Katrina in 4 days flat

And it’s like that, not give a damn about a black man

????????

Black fists is understandin’, upliftin’ of the revolution

And then a, how you do it when you gotta get into it

Just to take ya melodies, try to follow felonies

Then ya deci???, what’s the difference between rapper and an emcee?

Define it by the dictionary

Webster couldn’t understand the way it’s gotta be

I’m mad at Pac for using thug just so he could say it

I’m mad at people, understand the way to different play it

And Eminem jeopardizing sound of production

Couple months after, still bitter bout it

Bringin’ the levels adjusted, yeah

Verse:

Do you think that I’m a fool

That I’m a get raspy and say ‘Put It On Me’ like Ja Rule

Getting kinda crazy with the wheeling out the track

So understand, I’m gettin’ dip set, Diplomat

Try to shoot at like Obie Trice or Cam’ron

Then you’ll see what’s it like when a new dawnin of days form

Miami, the wetter the rain

But it don’t drip on me like Will Smith in the video man

When it’s like this, then understand the track star

Feelin’ how you do it when it’s on and nobody’s on the same par

I blow the smoke in ya face

and I ain’t even got a nicotine taste, yo

Would you understand the adjacent of flavor of kickin it?

This how I do it, deliverin’, makin’ they shiverin’

And we’re just in the month of January

Once hit February, it’s the month for us to study

????, put the hand with the buddy

And the feelin’ understandin’ when the back room get bloody

And feel enough to get it, dial-up and get it online

You can understand wit the feelin’ vibe of that rhyme

Verse:

I’m a give it to you straighter than a hetersexual

tryna get it twisted like a homosexual, but doesn’t happen tho

Think it’s been phobia-ish? No fear for those that wanna get wit the chest

that’s flat like that and the bulge is in the middle

Feelin’ how they do it? get and pose ‘em with that riddle

Get away from sexuality, the beastility of bein’ proud of these themes

Emcees not readin’ the instruction, got they knees buckin’

And understand to like it, aim it back to the suction

Universal magnetic, respect it, the fact the Mos Deffer title

Feel and understand struggle for survival

Rollin that dice, and it’s so six sided

Six shooter, flip it, revolutionary writer

Dealin’ how you divided playin Russian Roulette

Then you understand the feelin, the bullet got more sweat than you do

when it’s elixir, luxurious ya brain

And understand, the heavy getter, back into contain

And if it’s getting twisted with the lyrical abilities

to killin’ emcees off like pop, pop, pop!

Understand the drop, don’t think that I’m a fool

--------------------------------------------------------

My only complaint is I said "understand" way to much. :lolsign: Maybe some other stuff too.

Yeah FuQ, awesome work. It's a shame this thread hasn't got much of a response.

I've always admired your freestyling abilities, it's pretty obvious you're very capable of thinking on the spot, saying what you want to say, and getting out good vocab and structured sentences that makes sense. There are some pretty deep lines in there, keep it up.

I look over the literary errors, because what else can you expect in a freestyle, also the good stuff kind of cancels out the mistakes. Know what I mean? Oh, and you said 'understand' 29 times, but I didn't see it as a problem at all. :2thumbs:

These were some of the lines that I liked best:

"Where ya destiny to be, gettin down on ya knees"

"It’s like dark vs light, black vs white

And wrong vs right, but that one’s ok, even tonight"

"Where ya gonna hide when it’s understandin’ wit the statutory

Never boring, understand you makin more and

Lookin into Pac eyes, poster’s on my wall

Tryna figure out if I can stand, and got the gaul"

"And so I devour the power

All these emcees think they last when they cds ain’t worth the hour

What it mean to pay ‘em $18"

"And it’s like that, not give a damn about a black man

????????

Black fists is understandin’, upliftin’ of the revolution

And then a, how you do it when you gotta get into it

Just to take ya melodies, try to follow felonies"

"Feel and understand struggle for survival

"Yo yo, they say these n****z aint thugs, the real thugs is the government"

Yep, kinda givin ups to him. Thanks for the feedback. Prince, I'm surprised you liked that many lines. I guess maybe I should put it up. Should be up at least a half hour from the time of this post.
