FuQ - 4 Us (verse)

[mfuqua23]

hey y'all. Been a while since I did this. This is my verse 4 the song "4 Us" by me & Joe. It'z what hip hop means 2 us. Not sure bout the chorus yet. Have 2 listen 2 the beat again. Anyway, here's my verse. And we're gonna sample Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones Pt. 2".

Nov. 9, 2004 (8:01 a.m.) - Nov. 12, 2004 (8:07 p.m.)

[this * means where I continued. This was really a 2 day rhyme]

From the USA to UK, it'z easy to cross the Atlantic

But it's more sharks in my country, struggle the way I manage

They wanna damage rap, now how U figure that

Be aware of where I'm goin, check where I'm comin at

In it for more than gettin major sales outta stores

Don't mind the power in my pockets that's easy to be tore

Feel the reign of my pain in the game

Can't contain when I come wit it

*I gone too specific, but I rap nothing like mainstream gimmicks

Right now I'm local, like area code digits

I don't lie, I just try to find mine

Put it down right wit the pen between the lines

Grow up wit the rhyme and issues of the time

Love it and I want to, but can't stay behind

Not blind wit ice, that's not even 1/8th of my life

Unless U count tthe liquids I drink to get cold

Help me chill to the pressures that I always deal wit

Rather desinagrate, I don't wanna conceal it

like a dangerous weapon, I got a dangerous mind

Put it in a paradise, that's real hard to find

Not a relax, just a temporary getaway

Use to dat old 24-7, but I get a day

Get a say as the speaker thru the bass of their speaker

Words that'll reach em, like a volume deeper

Wit rapper/actor, give him the emmy

I'm rapper/be smart, give me the MC

Make sure I be what hip hop's suppose to

Not like rappers that say they will, and don't come close to

To the cultural movement

To anybody wit the qualities to actually do it

I'm from the 'City of Ones'

Named after that dead president, George Washington

Still, we unite nations wit a musical trust

Hip hop still stands, but this the meaning 4 Us

_________________________________________

That'z all it is 4 me. Then it's the chorus. Then Joe's verse. Then chorus. Then our end out. I made a nickname 4 my town. City of Ones. The One Dollar Bill in the US has George Washington on it. And our city is named Washington. So... City of Ones. :switch:

I hope 2 get real good. Will i mean productive feedback on this cuz it will be on the album. So let me know what y'all think.

Ayyo FuQ, My Verse

-----------------------

uh, yo, its a must i have to bust

knowin this song is jus for us

me fuq chillin, dont get misunderstood

two rap menacies society dont do u no good

when my knowledge of hip hop grew

cause u see im +Slicker than u+ and ur crew

good homies who will slit ya, hit ya

and will have no hessitate to bite ya

now listen to me closley, i dont want to fright ya

city of ones where hip hop artists jus chill

get a thrill without no pill, makes me pure ill

but im in the uk where there is no AK

47 what will blow ya block away

what makes it hard for me to proceed

that the greed and the plain need for the weed

an honest truth, half of my friends were dope addicted

convicts or jus plain a aflicted

so come where i play, jus make sure ur there in the day

cause if your not betta get on ya knees and pray

back in the days where we all could jus doss around

now the cops are down town whenever im makin a sound

wana catch me, but they gotta get me first

my thirst for rap is better than a curse in a verse

but since im rabbin on is my specality

screw wit me and thats a technicality

on the m-i-c or even playing basketball

u better wake up from ya dream and then call,

me and apologyze for the lies u was thinkin

u cant trip or fall, no time for even blinkin

cause everyone wana c me go from this place

but if i go away 1 day, u will always remember my face

so before u kick up a fuss

just remember, this song is jus 4 us, haha

[mfuqua23]

If that'z where ya comin from, it'z cool. Just don't get it twisted wit that "City of Ones". That'z a term for people from my spot. (well, it'z gonna be once they hear it) Plus that'z US dollar bills. UK's currency is in pounds and such if I'm not mistaken.

Just a suggestion. Change that 'city of ones'.... to something like "Any ground where hip hop artists jus chill/ Get a thrill without no pill, makes me pure ill/"

Other than that, U know how U wanna express yourself.

[J-o-e]

yeah, ill change that 2 that, anything else, cause to me this is just where i want to come from, its my view, thats ur view, but since were in different places we have completely different views of hip hop, so it will be a different sort of collab dont ya think?

J-o-e

[mfuqua23]

Nah. That'z only the real big deal of the verse. It will be a different kind of collab. Hot 4 sure tho.

btw, ya rappin the 2nd part of the song. If U have the orginal, listen 2 where Havoc (i think) starts his. Hopefully ya verse ends where it'z suppose 2 so we can work the chorus.

It Does ive already rapped over the beat, i believe it is an alright flow if u can try and rap it however u imagine it

[Hero1]

hey fuq thats the best verse ive seen from you :thumb: :clap:

[mfuqua23]

J-o-e - yeah, aight cool. I figured I'd practice the flow this week. I got it down tho. Just maybe I'll get a better feel and a chorus will come to me.

Hero1 - thanks. I thought so too. I really wanted 2 capture the right feelings I had about hip hop and what it is today.
