We all gunna Die, but why can some fly 2 Heaven
While others R stuck in the darkness, tryin 2 sever
The shackles of their Past, tryna change their ways and decisions
How do U expect us 2 believe when they're all contradictions?
How can I know what's right and wrong when I don't even know God?
I stopped believin cuz I refused 2 believe a facade
Don't believe everything U read so why is that an exception?
Producin churches as crooked as presidential elections
The age of 7 - occupation a murderer; and I know its obserd 2 ya
But this did happen in ur lil suburbia.
C evil's all I know cuz evil's all I C
Everywhere I turn & look I C nothin but endless polemy
Hearts shatter like pottery - Life oughtta be better than this
Unable 2 find Peace, cept 4 when the sedatives hit
How U throw us in this whirlpool, expect us 2 breathe
When all We tryna do is Love U, We just wanna believe
Dear Father why we cursed 2 live in endless sorrow?
Guzzlin the bottle - plz don't let my wrists mend 2morrow
Sent 2 follow false prophets and its drivin Me krazy
Tryna differentiate between whats "right" & "shady"
Beautiful babies born, but killed by their mothers - or jealous lovers
This entire society's trapped & buried in rubble
Lookin over my shoulder - constantly runnin from trouble
Runnin 2 discover what lies beyond the lies we've been fed
And tell Me why they expectin us not 2 lie 2 the Feds
We just doin what we've been taught - People fought 4 Freedom
Not 2 C it taken away by some greedy, kurupted demons
Cursed semens of a test-tube penis with diseases
Uncurable cases of racism & bigotry
But God made Me with perfect symmetry and Im lyrically fit
2 devour their ignant egos who get spiritually whipped
In2 a comatose state of Mind open up Ur eyes and BREATHE...
The Truth is looked upon like a disease & since a seed
Been cursed with many questions, like why it hurts 2 breathe
Dear Father we just wanna know the Truth
I know Ur out there - all We need is some definate Proof
Since a seed
Been cursed with many questions, like why it hurts 2 breathe
Dear Father we just wanna know the Truth
I know Ur out there - all We need is some definate Proof
The Truth is looked upon like a disease & since a seed
Been cursed with many questions, like why it hurts 2 breathe
Dear Father we just wanna know the Truth
I know Ur out there - all We need is some definate Proof.

i definitely like the lyrics in this song. like how u put it together. there are some good lines in it and the topic fits with the beat i think. your flow is also nice.

(thats my first reply in here, and it might not be a good review since im not that into rapping and all that, but hey..i tried ;) )

Hot track Limn.
Im genuinely blown away by your lyrics. They hit all the right notes. There's so much I want to comment on but I'd probably end up reciting all the lyrics. I can definitly feel where you're coming from on this; you make so many good points.
The flow is amazing too; I especially like where you switched it up and sped up delivery around the bars including "Please dont let my wrists mend tomorrow", it sounds so natural and then you slow it down again. It's intimidating!
Great drop
Keep em comin.

- The beat's hot , I didn't feel it at first , but after listening to the song a few times I loved it ..

- Vocals could be upped a bit , I can barely understand you actually ...

- The lyrics ... I don't know actually , something I'm not feeling 'bout it ...
You had multis & internals , and that's great ... but

"Sent 2 follow false prophets and its drivin Me krazy
Tryna differentiate between whats "right" & "shady""
^^ why did you say "right & shady" ? it sounded awkward ! but I would've understood it if it was to get the syllables right ... but here you could have made it sound natural & still get the syllables right :confused: ...

drivin'-me-krazy
right-and-what's-shady
sorry , but it bothered me lol :)

Your flow was cool , but I think that's what bothered me the most , some parts really didn't sound natural to me ... especially the beginnin' ... you hurried to say "we all gonna die ..." all of a sudden , while - if you would have started a little earlier - I think your flow could've been a lot more relaxed ! but maybe I'm just not used to your flow ...

"The shackles of their Past, tryna change their ways and decisions"
^^ I felt like you hurried this line as wel , while if you just would leave out "ways and" & keep "tryna change their decisions" the flow would smoothen up alot ...

"The age of 7 - occupation a murderer; and I know its obserd 2 ya
But this did happen in ur lil suburbia."
^^ I noticed you had a lil' problem getting all the words out on time ... I think it would go a lot smoother if it'd go

"Age of 7 - occupation a murderer
I know its obserd 2 ya
it DID happen in ur lil suburbia."
just a lil' advice , cuz I know what it's like to have someone say something 'bout your style of writing & whatnot , cuz it's yourse ...
but I love the line itself & it bothered me that the flow was a bit off ...



But I fucking loved the way you sped up your flow at the time the beat got a bit more busy , it fitted so smooth , it was delicious lol ..

I'm talking 'bout

"Hearts shatter like pottery - Life oughtta be better than this
Unable 2 find Peace, cept 4 when the sedatives hit"
^^ that was great imo ! (oh yeah n what's sedatives btw? in dutch ... )

I also felt the way you sped up some parts of the flow & managed to slow'em naturally!

"Dear Father why we cursed 2 live in endless sorrow?
Guzzlin the bottle - plz don't let my wrists mend 2morrow
Sent 2 follow false prophets and its drivin Me krazy
Tryna differentiate between whats "right" & "shady"
Beautiful babies born, but killed by their mothers - or jealous lovers
This entire society's trapped & buried in rubble
Lookin over my shoulder - constantly runnin from trouble
Runnin 2 discover what lies beyond the lies we've been fed
And tell Me why they expectin us not 2 lie 2 the Feds"
^^ is a great example of that ...

"How do U expect us 2 believe when they're all contradictions?
How can I know what's right and wrong when I don't even know God?
I stopped believin cuz I refused 2 believe a facade
Don't believe everything U read so why is that an exception?
Producin churches as crooked as presidential elections"
&

"C evil's all I know cuz evil's all I C
Everywhere I turn & look I C nothin but endless polemy
Hearts shatter like pottery - Life oughtta be better than this
Unable 2 find Peace, cept 4 when the sedatives hit
How U throw us in this whirlpool, expect us 2 breathe
When all We tryna do is Love U, We just wanna believe"
^^ in these parts your flow was awesome!

"I stopped believin cuz I refused 2 believe a facade
Don't believe everything U read so why is that an exception?
Producin churches as crooked as presidential elections"

"Hearts shatter like pottery - Life oughtta be better than this"

"Dear Father why we cursed 2 live in endless sorrow?
Guzzlin the bottle - plz don't let my wrists mend 2morrow
Sent 2 follow false prophets and its drivin Me krazy"

"Lookin over my shoulder - constantly runnin from trouble
Runnin 2 discover what lies beyond the lies we've been fed
And tell Me why they expectin us not 2 lie 2 the Feds
We just doin what we've been taught - People fought 4 Freedom
Not 2 C it taken away by some greedy, kurupted demons"
^^ and these are some lines of yourse I really , really felt - props ...

uh? your outro .. I was like wtf?
"some white cracker that died on the cross"
first off you're white , so I don't see where that's coming from ... like you're mad cuz jesus was racist ?
and where did you even get that impression? wtf?

I'm not really religious , but it kind of strikes me as ignorant & very disrespectful :(

anyways ...

Aiight thank you all for your replies and inpot, especially your indepth one DJ Depth. In answer to your questions...

I chose "right and shady" for breathe control purposes, I thought/wanted to use "whats right and whats shady" but that would've prevented me from getting that breathe in before those several solid bars.

Not sure what U mean by hurried in the first/opening line...Im listening and it doesnt seem rushed at all?

With the suburbia line the only thing I really have a problem with is the breathe be4 it all starts...thats why I took out "the" lol and just make that up with backing vocals, but I suppose I should make that smoother.

Sedatives=Pain killers [pills]

And about the outro, Im half-white yes...but I don't believe in the Jesus that Christianity, mainly Roman-influenced, has placed upon us. Do you honestly think a man who was born/raised/lived in the Middle East was really white? That's who I was mocking. Fuck that cracker they put on the cross. I ain't got nothing but love for the real Jesus Christ, but they painted his body white and manipulated billions of people with it. So again, fuck that fake ass cracker.

Peace

When you put it like that , I agree ... I don't believe in the Jesus nor the God the Bible portays it ...

and I don't think anybody younger than 30 still thinks Jesus was white lol

Shit they finally got rid of my VIP account lol.

And how do you figure Jesus was white? Because kurupted paintings of him depict him as white? The only thing accurate about those pictures is probably the hair color...but that could even be wrong. It's been a while since I read the Bible, but doesn't it even say "with skin the color of bronze" or something like that, in reference to Jesus?
 
#12
Who's worse, someone who thinks Jesus was white or someone who thinks he was black? That's a debate worth going mildly off subject for.
 
#16
Yeah man. I'm still doing the audio thang! Can't drop anything up in here coz I don't have internet access. These days I reply via internet cafe.

But keep up the good work. I shall be on the look out. :thumb:
