bigted Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) “Taking It Back For A Minute” Chorus: I'm takin' it back for a minute Before I track overwhelmness Later on you'll say that you felt this But right now we attack with plenty of steps Never lack the various sense When I take it back for a minute To the days where rap made sense Verse One: M.C's forgot the heart of a rhyme When they speed all out of line The musical key has to be a raw route of design Or else you'll be all out of ya mind Not all the things of the past We should forget We don't have to live in the past But we shouldn't forget Or else we'll feel the drag in our ass 'Cause we lose our purpose Lookin' like fools lyin' on the surface But never findin' a fuse to try a movement The music we choose can't analyze pollution 'Cause those foolish lies you're usin' Give the wrong message to our children The aggression can fuse to devour the building In other words, a foundation formed to occur no explanation That has no thought behind it What lesson is taught from rhymin'? If your battle you fought's just dyin' Where's your handle to the ball when you're not tryin' Turnovers overrule the equation That tool of debating Is jacking fool punks hating How're you sayin' that's outdated You can't just stay in 2004 You have to remember the game before Even if it was a nightmare, you can't act like you were just born Or else you'll end up with a nerve just sore You can't occur to perform Overnight with the wrong recite Of words from hype Just pickin' up the damn mic Is the stuff that rips punks to dash on the hike 'Cause I ain't new anymore to this script Check it, I've been on to scorch the hittin' The art of performance Since the start of 2000 And the year now is 2K4, there ain't B2K no more 'Cause groups concerned with pay are scorched That's why there ain't many legends Like Boyz II Men, New Edition, or Run-DMC 'Cause they want just money Management's too out of hand and cocky You can't just run the rout of the jam to stop me 'Cause you think I'm going, but I'm going left And I'm overflowin' mics, my flow is def Go back to bed little tykes, I'll put the throw over ya head Yeah, that's the ill rhyme, so now you know every night I hit Never any chill in my life, 'cause I grow wit my mind lit With new ideas but I recall what I did I never screw up twice, I ball wit excitement Of knowledge of strife and all percerverence My time is on clearness My watch to shine isn't goin' off, hear this There's no verse out of line, no queerness When the chorus isn't mine, it's all immitation, zero creation Y'all wishin' I'm gonna hear all you're sayin' But when you're stuck in today You're just in a daze No future in the game See you have to know your past So don't try to go so fast Don't listen? You'll go regrettin' Forget your history of your past And your life goes in a flash Nobody will bother to help you direction Where is inflection Of clarity With a perspective? That's so warily The wrong sense Is wack, you'll have no air to breathe In your chest If you forget to breathe That's the same equivilant By you not tryin' to achieve This is relevant if you know what happened, think of where you lead With experience It's always possible to believe That's it, you n'ah mean [Repeat Chorus 3X 'til end] Edited August 5, 2004 by bigted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prince Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Woooah... Reminds me of Eminem's "Rabbit Run" from the 8 Mile soundtrack in terms of length. I think its totally awesome people try out new things like this instead of doing the same old. However, it would need a fantastic beat for people to keep focused on the lyrics without losing concentration, due to the length. While I've never done a massive long verse on its own like this before, it's totally insane man, and I give you props for that. Right content... Some interesting points you make in there... Good thinking material. This is a piece I would like to hear from you if you ever get the means, out of sheer curiosity other than anything else as to how you are going to pull off a verse that long. But I like how you're being creative with that, and I'm sure you've got it all worked out in your head. I look forward to reading more of your lyrics.
