Rumor has it

Its a shame to me cause basically these lames aint what they claim to be
Killer in the booth but yous a coward in the streets
Playa please come on now you know you need to stop
I never seen you on my street so why you screamin out my block
And we all know yous not ha haaaa........ a ganster
Why you actin like you is i dont not got the answer
I already done told you mr bastion do not play the games
Im a tell you one more time i aint phased by nan not none you lames

I know you out their fakin i see right thru your mask
The month is almost over holloween is bout to pass
You need to stop the lies go on head shed your disguise
You might may trick the rest but you aint foolin I
Un uh baby not bastion born on baltic ave
Where you learn how to shoot craps man for you can even add
You do not understand means i was born in the game
When you come up in the kko man you gonna know some thangs
Like how to decypher your intentions like magyver
Ill make some x ray glasses out of tennis shoes and wire
Knowin that yous a lier i already done heard your fable
Your story is played out like reruns up on cable
Out there screamin out able knowin good and wells yous cain
These people see your fascade what you doin is a shame
need to watch what you claim and always be tellin the trizzle
Come on stop the lies wont you keep that their official but

Its a shame to me cause basically these lames aint what they claim to be
Killer in the booth but yous a coward in the streets
Playa please come on now you know you need to stop
I never seen you on my street so why you screamin out my block
And we all know yous not ha haaaa........ a ganster
Why you actin like you is i dont not got the answer
I already done told you mr bastion do not play the games
Im a tell you one more time i aint phased by nan not none you lames

Man im sick of these sucker lames out here fakin what it is
Out here screamin gangster gangster but not claimin what you live
Tellin fables you done seen on cable out there tryin to fake the funk
you pullin pistols up out your trunk but you aint got no car
Man you aint even fourteen how you get in the bar
You a chronic asthmatic so how the world you smokin dro
Man you wanna be gangster claimin killa in the studio
You need to speak what you livin start talkin bout what you know
What you talkin bout spinnin rims you rockin off brand tims
Oh you only hang with models? Why your girl look like a shim
If you only drove a benz then why i see you on the bus
wanna cuss cause i exposed you for what it really is
A boojie fraudalific sucker faking hating lame
If that was golds up in your mouth why your lips turnin green?
You need to get your mind right for you step up to the mic
talkin bout things you wish you had in a future life but

Its a shame to me cause basically these lames aint what they claim to be
Killer in the booth but yous a coward in the streets
Playa please come on now you know you need to stop
I never seen you on my street so why you screamin out my block
And we all know yous not ha haaaa........ a ganster
Why you actin like you is i dont not got the answer
I already done told you mr bastion do not play the games
Im a tell you one more time i aint phased by nan not none you lames

As with your other rhyme, too many couplets... I'd try to make them not rhyme as much or you're going to end up looking like a schoolyard rapper.

Aim to be Chuck D, not Eminem

My aim is not to be anybody but me

That's not what I meant and if you take people's words at face value all the time, you'll lose in literature.

When I said "aim to be Chuck D, not Eminem" I was referring to the fact that Chuck D is a higher class of EmCee than Marshall Mathers. His rhymes have meaning, they're not just there for shock value or cartoony theatrics.

My lyrics have meanings but you just dont understand them. I dont write music for other people i write it for me to release a emotion that i dont want to hold on to

Dude, you put your lyrics on a discussion forum in the hop people would give you constructive criticism and you got some... If you didn't want anyone to respond, you should have said "please do not respond" or you shouldn't have put any lyrics up at all.

Just because you don't like what's been put, there's absoluetly no need to take out the attitude that I don't understand your "rhymes" when you have no idea if I do or not...

I appreciate what you are saying i like to hear peoples opinions on my music. You told me to have deeper meaning with my lyrics when you made the comment try to be like chuck d instead of marshal. Personally i dont believe you could understand what i am saying because everything i say in my song has a specific meaning in connection with an event in my life since you do not know me you truly cant know what i am saying other than the face value of the words

NO I DID NOT

I said Chuck D's rhymes are more resspected than Eminems because he tells it like it is and doesn't rely on comedy effects or shock value.

*bangs head off wall*

Maybe not but I never said I understand you, I said I can get an understanding of your feelings from your lyrics.

I don't know Life Of Agony either but I know the lyrics to "How It Would Be" are about the singer missing his mother who passed away when he was younger... Also, I don't know Pearl Jam but by watching the video to "Jeremy" and reading the lyrics, I know it's about a kid who was late in school and asked to go to the headmasters' office. When he returned, he had a Colt Python firearm and shot himself in front of his class... It was in the news a good while back.

since you do not know me you truly cant know what i am saying other than the face value of the words

And since you know absolutely nothing about me, you cannot know what I understand and what I don't.

ok i respect where you are coming from.

you should read this song sultan
