Pen Scream
I never refer to women as bitches, no matter how filled with strife
Because my whole life
A bitch was defined right:
A boy who talks shit and won't fight
A man who doesn't take care of his business
Mooches vast, and tells YOU to pull yourself up by the bootstraps!
So fuck whatever some other cats do with rap
I slayed it before and I won't edit again-
I said it before so I'll say it again
I am the disturbed disaster, nerd rapper
Reading between the lines, hurdling chapters!
Feeding my mind, needing only my own kind
It's the world I'm after!
I swerve for my stature
Shown to win, like a roaming ronin,
I serve no master!
I grin and flow, stay in the spin from go
Like Yojimbo!
Fearless jaw play and as Akira Kurasawa made
The Bad Sleep Well
So I'm glad to peep on Hell to reap my spells
Spit what should've stayed unwrit as well
It's not about bandying the First Amendment
It's getting randy while honoring Gutenberg's Testament, Machiavelli's Medicine,
Smashing together for synergy
With more passion and energy than Con Edison!
After the shit goes down...
I'll con-test that into Con Tesla!
Watch me.
Hot and free, iron-wrought tongue drops
A thousand rounds of mercury when I sneeze!
My pen gets so sick and pandemic
It was accidentally responsible for the 1918 Flu Epidemic!
Time Travel was supposed to only be a theory
But I let loose some next-level licks to hear, see?
And let some metaphysical shit get too near to me
What you spit in the cypher you must stay true to
Be ready to follow through, with all of you
Hip Hop will hold you to that shit
And so when unwell bars get kicked?
You didn't hear it all.
Ancient Greeks said a muse is a spirit that lives in your walls.
Hence I flow to tear holes, kick in doors
Muse owns each inspiration, none yours
Soooo.... every fiery spree on lease? Caveat emptor!
I shouldn't have fucked around with Time Travel and the first World War!
Because my whole life

A man who doesn't take care of his business

I wish this was set to music and said out loud. I'd love to actually hear what went on in my head ad I read.

I always love your references, Loki. I see you appreciate samurai flicks like "Yojimbo". And you love your Muses. I had no idea they live in our walls. I was under the impression they play around on this site, looking to inspire. And I like your refusal to refer to women as bitches. That's just cheap, insulting machismo. You call yourself the "disturbed disaster." I'd say you're more of a blaster, spitting fire as you rhyme faster.

Thanks for the support crowfly! I'm old school and old fashioned in certain tastes and values.

Ahhh, LokiOfLiterati, luv ~ :-*
This is out-of-this-world fabulous! I am rather adoring your flow here and rhythm. Superb, luv. :-*
Something in this reminding me a tad of Eric B. & Rakim and Lauryn Hill oddly enough... ;-p Juxtaposition and better.
Admittedly, I'm no expert and do not lay claim to such by any stretch. Fledgling might be the best term... ;-D
Regardless, luv, You are somewhat quite extraordinary. :-*

Eric B. for President! I listen to Rakim and Lauryn Hill a bunch, the second artist fills my daily playlists so I was kind of floored by the comparison! Damn, thank you for the listen and support Savaja!

You are most welcome, luv. :-*
Have you considered slowing this just a tad and seeing what that might offer? Just a thought, I'm hearing another rhythm when I read that might work and offer you other options... I hope I do not offend.
Know that I am wholly a novice here, so this is speculation, luv. :-*
You have a style that reminds me of that rap Lauryn does in Everything is Everything and of Eric B & Rakim in Paid in Full. Please don't ask me why my mind meshed these two together for you, luv, for I've no idea. ;-p I just know there's something...
Yet, you're uniquely you as well. Marvelous! :-*

I could not be offended by sincere criticism if someone sincerely listens. And you're absolutely right, there's two versions, two rhythms of almost everything I produce. The fast rap and the slooooow jazzy smoky just-us-alone spoken word stuff. I'll eventually get numerous versions of each piece and switch them out, see what works best. But I do appreciate the fine-tuned ear to notice ... not only rhythm in the mind when re-read, but also deep influences.
I was deep into Lauryn Hill since before Sister Act, when her mix tapes were strictly underground, and the early roots stuff like Eric B & Rakim... that's the very foundation of soul. Hip Hop is the legacy of the jazz kings and it's those pioneers who really built the bridge. The heart knows it. You're no fledgling to that if you can hear so well.
