This is a rap song which I have been looking for literally for years. Here is a brief history of it. I found it on an unmarked mix tape which my cousin had given to me around 1996 or 1997. I have no idea what the title of the song, or the name of the artist is. I didn't start trying to find it until around 2001. I asked my cousin, and he has no idea what it is either. After listening to it over and over again, I realized that there are no rappers on there that I recognise. I have tried to google the lyrics and have come up with nothing. I even took it to tower records and strawberries, but they had no clue either. I have the tape somewhere still, but I don't know where it is at the moment. I'm gonna start writing the lyrics down from memory, which may or may not be accurate, and will have a lot of parts missing.
(song starts off with something like a flute playing softly and goes into a rap beat after a few seconds)
(this is the first few lines of the first verse)
I'm sick of all the fakeness, yes,
rappers taking [............] talking about [......]
[............] assasinated you get [......] like malcolm X
(this is the chorus, which I remember the best)
The abyss, the place for the weakest (wicked?) of the world to exist
you falling in a bottomless pit, the abyss,
watching all your [.........] getting dismissed,
creep into the darkness, known as the abyss
(heres the beginning of another verse)
Hold onto your hats and glasses
its time the shadow began bustin'
I step to the microphone not knowin' who I should be trustin'
Cuz lately lots of MCs be [.....]
(something something) studio gang
But I can hang [.......]
[........] half of these rappers, it aint nothin but a superstition
Thats all the lyrics I can remember off the top of my head. I know they talk a lot about getting dismissed into the "hip-hop abyss", studio gangsters, etc.
Please help me find out what this is! I've been trying to find it for many many years!
