FREEWRITE 10/29/08

This is part of a new freewrite that I wrote to Murs' "Can It Be". Since I felt the Jackson 5 sample SO much, that I'm gonna do an audio to it tomorrow. Perhaps, I will post it as well? Hmmmmm....my way to be motivated to record on my own again, Hell Week has done that. lol. but anyways here it is....

Could it be that I'm destined to reach greatness
Then why is it that ya boy has yet to make it
At end with the economy, banks mispace ends
For myself, I have to fight for a bit of autonomy
A little bit of freedom, little bit of independence
Fending for myself, in the land of the imprisoned
Hopin' I ain't caught slippin', otherwise off to prison
(Can it be I stayed away too long....)

From my family, from my friends, from my lover
Resistant to my mission, distant from my brothers
My smile smeared from the strikes of hard palms
Slapped back to the center of this ticking time bomb
World immortals bound to the ties of deception
God's apostles distorting your perception
Leaving me to wonder, am I truly a blessed man?
(Can it be....)

Sick to death of rap when I listen to these bumbklatts
Claim they balled for years, still workin' on jumpshots
Only to fade away, but I am here to stay
One man of many methods, what the blood clot?
Every story I tell, is a fable to niggas
Til I straight disable the nigga
Increase my rhyme stock to jump from three to six figures
(Can it be I stayed away too long....)

Rockin' a Kangol, tryin' to plan goals
In my darkest hour, head down towards the shad-ows
Reminiscing on forgotten faces, reminded
Time is running out, wit no option to rewind it
Don't depend on lyricists to educate your kids
'Cause words are deceiving, i know that the best
Notepad in my vision, time to put the pen to the test
(Can it be...)Could it be? I guess.

And here's the track itself, so that Adrianne can enjoy it...perhaps buy it off iTunes....cliche.
