#KillThePad is a weekly challenge that was created by @jamesgetsit in efforts to bring about a more comprehensive awareness of the hip hop community here on steemit.

We are all creative in our very own unique ways, so #KillThePad allows for talented writers, poets, rappers and all musicians alike to share their talents through this text-based rap initiative.

This contest is sponsored by none other than Steem Music Alliance (SMA) and made possible through the support of @dsound.

If you want to learn more about #KillThePad or enter the contest for yourself, then head right over to jamesgetsit blog page to get your questions answered!!

Here is my entry for the week #17 Mirror, Mirror challenge:

I looked in the mirror at a boy who has become a man -- he looked back and told me:

Now you're on this journey, that we call life
You only get one, so might as well live it right
Keep your goals in mind and keep 'em in immediate sight
Despite the times there may seem to be no light
You just gotta keep goin', let your life keep flowin'
Just like a river, with no ends meet
If I had three lives, I sure as hell would three-peat
Now life is so glorious, for the better notorious
Butterflies metamorphosis
I'm talkin' transformation
So we can better this nation
At this point in time, we shall have bigger and better creations
Hopefully no more hyped up games with steady inflation
If you can look back at me, and honestly say
That you don't regret any one of your days
Then that, right there, is the happiest of ways
To live the life, that our God so gracefully gave.
