Open Mic: - Closing the Curtains -

http://www.shadowville.com/925/genres/gangsta-beats/closed-curtains

Yo...This is my life, right?
so fuck these paparazzi...
I'm closing the curtains

deal with it...

All my lifes been a struggle and fight
to stop doing wrong when I know it ain't right
Used to listen to rhymes in my room every night
now I do my own lines and I'm doing 'em tight
Who gives a fuck if I'm not livin' the life
that you think is advanced in it's simplistic design
Yeah, I know the truth now - I can't rewind time
But remind me of its innocence when it's slippin' my mind

Evading the glares and the judgemental stares
as I made it on my own and I don't fucking care
if you hate who I am or think it isn't fair
that I am where I am when you can not make it there
Proud that I am real, with my head up in the air
and my balls in my hand, do you even have a pair?
I'm that rare, that's why no one can be compared
Standin' on my own, one-man-gang extraordinaire

Cause where ya going to depends on where ya coming from
Fail at what you're selling, even when ya drum it up
There's pain in bein' wrong and they won't let ya numb it up
Bank account on swoll, but your soul is out there bummin' funds 
Lost ill-gotten wealth and if I had to sum it up:
You're not the you ya were from when you were just coming up
Then ya wantin' more and realize that there just ain't enough
Circle of sharks - and you know how to chum it up

And that's just how it is these days
Hypocritical fools try to question your ways
Conform and obey and I'm sure you'll get paid
and the money is good to ensure your heart's gettin swayed
Fuck that, I don't want my soul betrayed           
And as I look away - I deflect Medusa's gaze
Keep my Hulk in check,You don't want it out tha cage
Containin' the rage as I shield the gamma rays
Truth is: you can't look a real beast in it's face
Vampire smile in check when it's your blood that you taste
Gainin' some ground and now you think you've won the race
Open up your eyes...who else is giving chase?
Stare at your opponent with the battlefield erased
It's only you & you and you can't keep up with the pace
I remain reserved, behaved and stay in place   
but now you know the reason as to why I'm droppin' shades

Cause where ya going to depends on where ya coming from
Fail at what you're selling, even when ya drum it up
There's pain in bein' wrong and they won't let ya numb it up
Bank account on swoll, but your soul is out there bummin' funds 
Lost ill-gotten wealth and if I had to sum it up:
You're not the you ya were from when you were just coming up
Then ya wantin' more and realize that there just ain't enough
Circle of sharks - and you know how to chum it up

Yo..J504...2 thousand and eleven on this motherfucker..
Big ups to DJ Soundwave...Joe Montana...Thin Pimp & The Khaki Vortex
and Rosie Jones: get at me.

I told ya...This is my life. 

curtains.

 

 

 

 

That vampire line was very clver, I agree with sick, this would be a great audio

Real talk: I see this as the struggle of your struggle, and despite all the cracks I make
About well the crack....you turned your life around and I got mad respect for that.


Btw: pippens the salty mittens said sup? I saw him in the wharehouse.

Nice drop J. It was pretty easy to catch the flow on the beat too - and the hook was ILL! Liked that a lot. Good to see you switch up your style some more, this was different than the usual.
The 5th to the 8th bars were my favourite and stood out to me the most. I liked this part a lot too ....
"Stare at your opponent with the battlefield erased
It's only you & you and you can't keep up with the pace"
