Elemental Struggles
There was this rapper once who formed rhyme into slick speach
It seemed he spoke ten minutes deep, rhythmatically over intricate beats
People would nod, peeping his feet while he went over their heads
He hit the charts bordering edge but the beats chauffered his creds
he was ignorant towards the trends, he never performed to compete
Oh yeah, I knew this rapper once, we're former colleagues
We used to call him Oddbeats due to his weird breath control
He was a down to earth cat that never neared pedistals
He was usually broke, Couldn't buy the blunt we're using to smoke
But dude was our folks so we let him kick it and crack the stupidest jokes
He had an aura when he performed, but the crowds didn't pack
So he sat on the ledge and glanced at his friends, slouched, sittin back,
once though, he metamorphed, like sand gets in storms when lightning strikes
He started sliding side to side, it surprised the lighting guy
got everyone excited like he had someone left to impress
when asked why, he replied "I saw someone moving a pencil with stress
I figured he was a journalist, I wanted to read about my assertiveness
but what i got was a talent scout impressed with my turbulance"
Its funny, because when you show there's more than meets the eye
your moral reach is high and You don't have to distort your beats design
It's funny, because when you are more than meets the eye
you love the morsels we compile which is why you escort the beats design
This same rapper once stagedove and broke his arm
He got up with no alarm, walked on stage and performed his song
came to the crib afterwards with a blunt and cast
like "I cant roll it but if you do ill puff and pass"
and of course i stuffed the grass until the circumfrence capped
we called some homies who brought they stash and dropped on match
blowing rings of smokes, throwin shitty jokes at fame and fortune
laughing at luck but glad he had stuck being the same man hes been
When my sister smelled the fumes she decided to say whatsup
and that she's bouncin hella soon, just stoppin by to snake the blunt
she heard Oddbeat making grunts and transformed solace to charm
coming up like 'bro its been long' and not even notice his arm
Then she had the nerve to request some absurdly weak dress
i was about to serve her cheap ass cuz he didnt deserve any stress
but to everyones surprise, he smiled and dropped the duckets
as if he doesnt know how to budget hundreds
replying "I got alot now, fuckit" so we started wildin'
Tellin him to buy us cars or diamonds and harder items
but all in joke and jest, unlike that bitch that has hers
and he replied "now i'm not that rich, scavengers
but within reason, ill buy whatever the fuck you want
everytime you're the first to name the station my newest single went public on"
I knew a rapper once, kid had the heart of lion
but eventually people ignored his lyrics and his sound started dyin
his homies slowly slipped into thinning reach
he started self disassembly, making beats for the industry
it wasn't long before he stopped putting his pen to his pad
to the point where people felt they had the legend mismatched
and all items he sought were as good as prizes that rot
So his beats held emotions, and his mouth filled with silence and pot
Now he doesn't want to be seen, he avoids meadows and fools
now he meddles in gloom...He shut himself closed...
yeah dude
I knew a rapper once, and he was more than meets the eye
But now he's a beatmaker, focusin on his important beats design

this standout lyricist was more than meets the eye
But to make it, sometimes you gotta distort unique designs
