My Submission

For this entry I chose to use the remade ''Nocturnal Rainbows'' instrumental, a song that was originally created by ''Hopsin''. I really didn't want to use the beat at first, because I like the original song way too much, for it would destroy my listening experience to the original one if I kept hitting it on repeat. But then I heard it was a remade version, which will always sound different or at least close to the original (which it did), and so I decided to use it.

But then time got in my way. I had some hardcore working days ahead of me with no time to create a full entry like I always do. It's not just spitting a verse for me. I take my time to rehearse the lyrics, spit it as perfect that I possibly can and take some effort to edit the vocals and make it sound as tight as possible. So at that same Friday (to me saturday night) I grinded out the whole night to get it done in time. I'm really glad I made it, but to me, personally, I didn't top my last entry, or at least I didn't got what I really wanted to deliver this week. That's just being honest, however I don't think that I made a bad entry in that matter. That night gave me the energy to grind it out and damn it felt good when I finished the submission while the morning sun arose, knowing that I had to go to work for the next 9 hours.

Anyway, that's why this post is a little late. I really hope you digged this entry, and please, let me know if you did!

Overthinkin'

Lyrics:

Always been a good kid, to you an averaged human being
I tried to fake it, but no longer can I live for stupid reasons
gave you my blessing as a pilgrim, but you're still bein' distracted/diss-track-ted
I guess you still ain't learning lessons and that's educated guessing

old slaves were in chains, new slaves are in denial
no more pain, wash your brains with this Novocaine and just be silent
I just picked this beat, because it portrays the worries within me,
thinkin' in advance and lay a verse oh so kingly

I be rushin' and crushin' the subject
with filosophical discussions
never take less, always something above it
and you can never stop it, never cop it
cause it's not for the profit
only for the knowledge
won't find it in college and scholars
cause all of this bustin' is not to be trusted
I'm beginnin' to puff, cause I'm runnin' too much

I can spit that syllable quickness
the formidable depth and the thickness
explicit and wreckless sentences
traditional brag 'n boast business
with invisable metaphors in it
or a critical message within, but
it has no value or wisdom if I can't tell you my realness
