this tune is quite a departure for me. i wrote this one for FAWM of 2013, and just now got around to polishing it up a bit. enjoy!

lyrics:

just like the phoenix, risen, reborn,
burn right through the costumes we've previously worn,
i rap somethin positive, avoiding the scorn,
turn my hip-hop to roses, removing the thorns

there's nothing cool about concealing the truth,
some rappers lie to be fly but they're just being uncouth,
you see i ain't superman, don't need a telephone booth,
i show my colors to your face just like my missing tooth
you might see me on the avenue, telling my tales,
i keep it real so even if you're blind, you feel me like braille,
i got no big head, i prefer a logical scale
it's the avarice of our culture i'm trying to curtail
my music pumps out refreshed air for you to inhale,
my lyrics mesh with the freshness the rhythms entail,
cash is nice but my spirit just isn't for sale,
'cause honestly i want to see something real prevail

that's the way we play the game and this is how we do it baby,
nothing 'ever be the same when we're done passing through it,
and it makes me wonder if i'm crazy trying to change the world,
but even if i can't i know that we're together, twirlin', swirlin'...

my mind state's altered but i don't even smoke,
dudes slinging rocks on the block,i understand it's no joke,
young kids packin' heat because they're feeling provoked,
'cuz even straight-up sober, they're still flat-out broke,
but see i found me a drug that leaves me higher than coke,
i call it rhythm, and music, and everything it evokes,
melodies rocked my braincells from the moment i woke,
and i'll be playing and singing until the day that i croak,

just like the phoenix, risen, reborn,
burn right through the costumes we've previously worn,
i rap somethin positive, avoiding the scorn,
turn my hip-hop to roses, removing the thorns

Ha! Nice man!
You have this smooth element about your connection to your rap and the music.
You are "Raw" though /grins tons of possibilities for growth and potential however.
Did you create the composition? Or are you the rapper =O)
Keep at it man...

Cheers
