"I'm merely remarking on the paradox
of asking a masked man who he is."

______


Nineties flava---

the wisa told, "you never judge a book with the sleeve/
cause looks can deceive"; Midas gold, the crooks n the thieves//
die ta hold, once pewter; slum beauti/
fuls once cuta, inside the soul//
the times is cold, so why the globe warmin up?/
torment's struck, many a mind; plebeian lives//
controlled with "pennies n dimes"; the desperate/
let rip "twenty-fives" for the quarter buck//
vagrants hide, that they lack plates or a place/
to lie, but that just reflects they vacant eyes//
the tainted eyes you see through the slits of a/
black ski-mask; Cuba-shipped, ruger clips plugged ya//
the mask gave him the strength to blast n ignore it/
cause when the blood struck it, the fabric absorbed it//
yet right before the guy dropped he saw through the cloth/
into a man's face that was robbed of itself,//
the faceless...

Hubris---

Seeking life, with an evil eye...i'm the friend of the man who beats his wife...
he sticks with, drunken affliction, when i tell him we gonna drink tonight..
vixens get bitched quick, hes' never gonna treat her right..
kicks in the screen, she hides, from a distance i just peek through blinds...

Amoxycillin in the sweat, no syringe or shots is healing the respect..
cuz we ignoring the struggle like politicians to Tibet..
whos'>wearing thin, fuq a Samaritan, until they start charging witnesses instead

and by the grace of affection, the forsaken to bless it....I'm the mother of a daughter who gets raped an molested..
fathers takin pills to sleep, cuz da bills is steep, and daddy had another bad day with collections
little princess in high heels an pink, shes' gonna kill her shrink, cuz at this age taking erections,
i foresee pain with no lessons, crying in shame wit a question, with no answer, I pray for a message..

GOD, i can no longer take this and the implications..

"as a neighbor who didnt say shhhhit..."

SATAN was never gracious, in each of his relations..

"I used to be the mother of a great kid."

The mirror reveals a mask, and underneath we see the faceless....

Pretty ill, (and long) but it was enjoyable throughout. The first verse to me had a kind of Mobb Deep fell to it, the flow, delivery and the way you spoke about the subject. It all seemed dark, as did the whole piece I'd say, it has a really surreal and eerie feeling.

The flow went nicely all the way through the second verse, and what the verse consisted of could be interpreted in many ways, like a lot of good lyrics. One of the best writtens I've read on here so far, keep it up.
