These are some raps/songs/poems that I've written, and I kinda want to see what you guys think.
Feel free to post your own original content as well.
[QUOTE]We all live in our own separate worlds
thousands of crystals
Millions of brilliant pearls
Spinning in limbo
Alone and silent
Spiralling down down down
to the shadowy depths below
Meet me
fall into my little world
together together
we’ll twirl and paint murals
of heros on stained glass windows
that throw back the darkness below[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Sometimes it’s impossible
to get out of bed, feel good about the world
Improbable
To think that everything will be fine
All the hurt and pain isn’t just mine
We hurt, we struggle
It’s a battle everyday to get better
Our pain never stops never quits
Our hearts always hurt always sting
Even if we try to hide it it keeps yankin on our heart strings
it hurts
To know that we are only human
It hurts
To know that what we do is pointless
It hurts
To never find out what true love is
To dig and dig but never break through the surface
To sit at the back shaking, feeling guilty all through the service
And at times it gets so hard that life just unnerves us
So we try to hide it
Lock it away and torch the key so that no one will ever find it
But that kind of thinking will only keep us blinded
Block out the beating of our hearts
And we’ll never notice if they start
Don’t keep it hidden
The only one you’re kiddin’ is yourself
What are you doin’, locking that heart in a box then tossing on a shelf?
You make me want to scream to get mad and get mean
To get violent with the lyrics that you’re reading off this screen
But what would it do?
It’d shove your heart back in that box and drive you further from the truth
The truth that it hurts
The truth that if you want to be loved then you have to love first.
The truth that you have to be open with your mind
because a broken empty box is where the demons reside

[QUOTE]Time is our method
of measuring memories
thoughts of what we ought to be
displaced by reality
created by us
yet upheld by others
be it sisters and daughters
or boyfriends and lovers
maybe fathers or brothers
all that’s known is:
the march of minutes
can spin us
flip us upside down
make us lose our place
and it’s our saving grace
that we are the masters
the heros and pastors
of the books that we write
as we travel along
fighting,
for our own little footnotes in time
skip it back
rewind to the past
some things that we missed
don’t even exist
in our reality
but for somebody
that nobody
was somebody
and by our action
or reaction
to their confusion
or illusion meant
that we, just happened to be
a savior or a criminal
and it’s all just so lyrical
that time skips,
does a dolphin flip
jack knifes and rewires
all our thoughts and desires
and lends perspective
That evil word, it’s so subjective
Because time is what we make of it
reflect on it
The older you are,
with a fancier car
doesn’t slow time
instead spins on a dime
slams back on the throttle
as you see your kids waddle
down the hall,
recalling it all
Your life flew by
and what are you?
are you what you thought you’d be
are you who you wanted to see
Remember the metaphor of time
Because life is a paradox
and if you live in a box
hoping someday to get better
to live your life unfettered
you’ll end dejected and lonely
with the last thing that you see
being your brand new shoes
barely worn, never used
that you could’ve traveled in
been a person in
lived life, laughed and fucking cried in
Don’t end up tired and useless
rememberin’ those times missed
because tomorrow is today
and yesterday’s gone away
and it ain’t coming back
and that’s the last I’ll say.

The last one is the best imo
Created another rap, took me around an hour. I really like it. Focused less on making sense, and more on rhyming.
[QUOTE]World wide circus magic hocus pocus
nothing ever be in focus
like the truth come out and choke us
whirlwind ride but I’m locked out tongue tied
can’t even fight it for the demons I got are inside
whisper feather soft shredding show like you’ve got cloth
instead of bones solid and royal
playin’ every day like your god is Hoyle
poker joker smoker toker
I know you say you loved her but who trusts the word of a stoner
you and me man, part of some fucked up love jam
gotta spread it around bury ourselves underground get lost in sound
then we go home, get stoned, wake up bone cold
try to find bread but all we have is old mold
no money sugar coffee or tea, honey
thought yesterday was so nice but you’ve got nothin’ to live for homie
panic attack, frantic asthmatic relapse
feelin’ mind fall back, slip back into cracks
and all you want are some fuckin’ flapjacks.
life in a down spiral youtube video viral
last week you were a high roller
now that roller coaster dropped off and you been toasted
feel me hear me you and me, we be the same man
one of a kind thinkin every word rhymed but we were so blind
darkness marks us fire don’t even spark or light the charcoal
our last dollars been spent on the green in that last bowl
steamin’ reamin’ bleedin’ nothin’ i’m believing in
mind screamin’ leavin’ shatter nothin’ ever mattered
life we leadin’ receedin’ we bruised and battered
half cocked thinkin’ this shit can be walked off
WE ARE NOT GOD
so you better be leavin’ and you better be believin’ that we gotta do this shit right or we gonna die tonight
It goes on and on
battles at night while we wait for the sun
don’t try to hide it
the life you live is the life you lead
and every person out there has the same blood to bleed
the same blood to bleed
blood to bleed
blood to bleed
Rip it whip it flip it chip it
hollow followers lookin’ for dollar bills
empty throats swallow no stomach to fill
vacant while we bankin’ shots off the rims
we don’t know where to begin or what’ll
lead us to the future where everything is brighter
flames reach up and you the fire fighter
move fast slow reach down and pass go
everything we have and all we know
ripped from our bodies destroyed with our souls
we crush it brush it flush our minds down the drain
soupy grey mush brain drivin’ you insane
no bigger surprise than everything dies
live your life happy forget all the lies
vaccuum black room gun go kakakaka kaboom
silence echo back that doom be soon
crazy monkey scream he be a baboon
mess bless heart in a chest
something in there you need to confess?
up down east west father can you take me to the land of the blessed
eagle eyes see harder than you
see into the heart beating with truth
see the blood pump pump pulled through the body organic sump pump
one more one more one more bump one more pull we gotta get crunked
fast pass for fast cats wearing phat hats
to the kool kids klub where they need to reside
hide from real life spotlights and limelights
go outside and they die from fright
nobody believe what they see in the night
It goes on and on
battles at night while we wait for the sun
don’t try to hide
the life you live is the life you lead
and every person out there has the same blood to bleed
the same blood to bleed
blood to bleed
blood to bleed
