mfuqua23 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) 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.

mfuqua23 Posted November 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 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 Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 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?

mfuqua23 Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 (edited) 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.

mfuqua23 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 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.
