    Wits and Steel

    (V1)
    Mind sharp, big bastard sword gleaming
    Coupled with my heart, that’s a deadly double teaming
    Coming from the start is that robinson reeling
    Minds aerial so high, cracked cerebral ceiling
    Tingling sensation, im down that spine
    Don’t ignore the chills, they’ll get worse with time
    Then one day you’ll find
    You was a deer stuck in your own blind
    Couldn’t see ****, how you ever gone find
    The truth that reveals when its right in the rhyme

    (hook)
    no brick to the face, or shot to the gut
    Don’t need no metal I use my own nut
    My arena is vexed and ready to thrill
    My minds sharpened by wits and steel

    (V2)
    Chicken, n**** you were ripe for the picking
    Ticking, time bomb, countdown, clicking
    Photon trooper mind weapon stooper
    Explosion in the sky heralds the erosion
    Chosen, like I was Solo frozen
    Taught myself in stasis, energy in spaces
    Brought from the ages, lessons learned from the pages
    Chrysalis became my starting inspiration,
    Find this theory, my mind got elevation
    Im timeless, like zion im flying its amazing,
    Im poetically endorsed, my rhymes are never fading
    Raising myself Infant, baby world that im cradling

    (outro)
    I don’t carry a gun, I don’t don’t need no devices,
    Im potent and fresh, like dunes magical spices
    Coming up, in a world that’s ill
    All I have to cure, is my wits and steel

    I feel like there are a LOT of different references. Don't take that the wrong way, the way you portray them are good, but I think it would be really wicked if you brought back and re-mentioned some of the original ideas from the first stanza.

    Thanks for the feedback, ive reworked it a bit, do you think this is more appropriate.

    Wits and Steel

    (V1)
    Mind sharp, big bastard sword gleaming
    Coupled with my heart a deadly double teaming
    Coming from the start is that robinson reeling
    Cracked the worlds skylight my own cerebral ceiling
    Quit playing, you aint on my level or floor
    Aint no elevator to elevate ya much more
    Tingling sensation, im down ya spine *****
    Don’t ignore the chills or that encroaching itch
    That’s how I strike, leaving you in a stooper
    Use my minds side-arm like a photon trooper
    To prove to ya,
    Sharpest thorn in the bush
    Keep my mind anchored with plenty of kush
    Peaceful but dangerous like Shepard book
    Teachers use words they don’t fling right hooks
    Im here to guide you like lessons in books
    From page to page my wisdom can be took
    All you need to do
    Is garner a look


    (hook)
    I don’t carry a gun, don’t need no devices
    Potent and fresh as Dunes magical spices
    My school is open and ready to thrill
    My minds sharpened by wits and steel

    (V2)
    Your mind is dull whilst im sat here sheening
    Shine east to west the rise of my meaning
    Im a soldier for knowledge armed with many barrages
    When ive spat a verse of truth, I replace the cartridge
    With a day of my life, they all have lessons
    Learnt to not attack unless I was threatened
    But if I do
    You better run back
    My mind shoots faster than
    Lightning on crack
    Time to slow things down, let **** settle
    Take in my lessons while I bung on the kettle
    A cup of tea and joint for your troubles
    Take a break
    there’s always more time for struggles
    For now know
    im here to give tutelage,
    The 2ndSun rise in a world so stupid.


    (outro)
    I don’t carry a gun, I don’t don’t need no devices,
    Im potent and fresh, like dunes magical spices
    Coming up, in a world that’s ill
    All I have to cure, is my wits and steel

    I agree with Kerri, I do like it though. I also think the improvements you made are great. I would appreciate your feedback on some of my stuff. The majority of my works are in this section but I also have several sets of 16 and 32 bars in the Rap Lyrics Review Restricted area. I would appreciate your support as I am literally hated on there and I know that I'm better than they are giving me credit for.

    Love the improvements! I think it ties it together a bit more.

    The following are well-written lines: "Quit playing, you aint on my level or floor/Aint no elevator to elevate ya much more"; "I don’t carry a gun, don’t need no devices/Potent and fresh as Dunes magical spices/My school is open and ready to thrill/My minds sharpened by wits and steel"; "Im potent and fresh, like dunes magical spices/Coming up, in a world that’s ill/All I have to cure, is my wits and steel". The word flow is inventive and packs a "glasses on, nose always in book" type of punch.
