Scratch
All of these digits and salaries dropped on lottery tickets/
Poverty stricken, gotta keep wishin and plot to see riches/
Walkin these ditches, posted with thumbs in the air/
Hitchhikin this road to success hopin someone will care/
A bum in despair, even plumbers can cherish the pipe dream/
But the barrier height isn't as fair as it might seem/
Its very enticing, but their minds and hope is scattered/
Spine too broke and battered to be climbin social ladders/
Tried to cope with matters despite this whole disaster/
When their pride is low, they disguise and cloak the factors/
But they can't hide the holes and cracks of their misguided approach/
I don't try to impose, just showin who provided the rope/
Who's settin the traps for these obsessions with cash/
People investin their stash, throwin their checks in the trash/
Never acceptin the facts or witnessing the twisted distortion/
But get a kick of endorphins thinking they hold their ticket to fortune/

I was gonna try and pick out my favorite lines, but after reading it multiple times I can't decide because the whole thing is dope. I'd like to offer some constructive criticism but the only advice I can give is to keep droppin cuz I'll keep reading.

Oh. That was some slick wordplay in the first bar.

Pretty good. Something seems to be missing, it surely isn't the flow.

Oh. Sick.

Alright.
Simple complexity may be an oxymoron, but it perfectly describes your style.
I'll bet it took me longer to leave feedback on this piece than it did you to write it, yet I marvel at how fluid and completed it feels as with all your other pieces.

And see thats the thing about Ruckus.. he's word play is like freakin' second nature to him... I mean muthafukas just need to recognize talent. You can't "develop" talent.. its just fukin there or its not. Most cats here have skillz.. but Ruckus and Plex just have mad talent for this word play shit. I mean, when you can actually flow outloud to someone elses writtens... you can't help but to give it praise!
