mfuqua23 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 hey y'all. this is a collab by bago's request. he asked me, then ted if I didn't. so I was like, why not all 3 of us. ted did his first, and bago and I were thinkin of droppin the whole idea cuz it just wasn't comin' to us. No sooner did I tell ted I was done, I ended up writin' it. Then bago did his. The whole subject of this "what does it mean to u to be a rapper and why U do it type stuff". So here's are 3 verses. bigted "In order to get into the heart of the present I have to remember when I started jotting lyrics I had no direction as an artist I was only wanting to impress this chick But she wasn't giving me any credit This is the 1st time that I ever spoke of this It took me awhile before I would grow into sense and Confidance of really able to keep myself open I'm a lot like my late grandmother 'cause she was poetic All of this poetry I've spoken Has been inspired from moments of growing One day you say you ain't doin' this for money, but your style's wack and unfocused When the next day I see you on TV braggin' about your piles of doe and fast chicks That lifestyle's isn't for me, I just come to get on the mic to flow Just like you're doing your job, I don't want you to look at me like a God I just do this bring to life the words I jot We all can express ourselves I personally don't mind if you download or buy this off the shelf Knowin' that you spend time to listen to me let's me know that you understand how I felt I'm now in control 'cause I realise with this gift I could do well This expression is more like a breeze from the ocean I'm not tryin' to be the average mc 'cause I've been chosen To take a different journey since this isn't somethin' that you'd start promoting I don't rhyme about jewlery, checks, or clothing "I ain't 'bout beef" so I won't diss My words are like a time capsule that has yet to be open And you can call me Gracia rather than just Big Ted when you take notice 'Cause what matters to me is not being your favorite lyricist, just relate as a close friend Who's down to concentratin' on kickin' it or have an open ear for moments of consolement The real hip-hop is over here! In case you didn't already know this Now I'm gonna take a break to hear Michael and Joe spit" FuQ Rap has been a craze, in all my days, as an individual Gettin' attack by wack rappers, like I'm subliminal I'm spinnin stress like a disc on my desk Lookin out my window tryna catch a breathe *breaths* My problems keep re-runnin' like a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode Stackin my lyrics like it's all that I load By defintion, I'm a Found MC that's never ever been Lost, just not always involved in a cause They sweat me bout rappin' rhythms, speakin my Words of Wisdom Influencin' the children, and dammit I'm not makin a million I guess I won't mean nothin' til I die, kill me and let me go Success in my sufferin' like Vincent van Gogh Swim in my flow cuz it goes 4ever Goes deep but U'll never drown and U can't measure I feel exhilirated when I sense hatred Fight back and reap what they sow cuz of the way they made it Never ever be faded, there's no volume to me I'll stop when I'm ready, I'm givin U all of me U mighta threw back jerseys, but U can't wit rhymes cuz it will still be around in the test of time bagotrasho Well look at me the rap rookie My rhymes sweeter than a chocolate chip cookie Some people ask me How Did you come to rap Well I’ll tell you now Just chillin out wit my friend In my basement our time we’d spend Studyin for a test while surfin JJFP.com Questions back to back “Whats the capital of Vietnam?” “Hey study for the test, you know you really should” “Hey check this out some of these rappers are pretty good” “Could you imagined if we rapped for a livin?” “With the money, the fame, and of course the fly women!” “But we couldn’t possibly rap, we’re 13 year old white kids Whatever we came up with would be crap” “Hey lets at least give it a try!” “Then my friend let out a little sigh” “So into rap mode I transformed” And that’s when How I Battle was born Ever since then writin rhymes Consumes all my time Well that’s exactly what happened how I came to rap Now all that’s left is for you to clap ----------------------------------------- Give us each some major and honest feedback. :thumb: or :poke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfuqua23 Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 bago - well, u are a rookie, but in ya verse U told how it came about cuz U just started, so it makes sense. bigted- u was on the startin' and what's gonna stay in your frame of mind. U really got a lot of nice detail thru-out it. the whole rhyme is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerkot Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Bigted - Great as usual, nice with your last line, makes it feel more like a collab than just three individuals. FuQ: Great stuff, maybe not as good as your full songs but still very good. Bagotrasho: Good! You are pretty much on bigteds and FuQs level, and they are both very experienced so you should be proud by holding it on the same level :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I actually like the way this collab came out a lot 'cause there wasn't a hook on it, you don't need to have a hook on every song for it to be dope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. That's what I told bago when he asked me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
