Midnight EyeZ - Let It Rain...

[Midnight EyeZ]

(Verse 1)
Possess the rage of an animal caged; I’m saddened to say,
The least, I’m too weak for a man of my age,
Wracking my brain, suffer sudden character change,
Tryna fight the fear inside of me but battle in vain,
Tryna tackle mass amounts of anger and pain,
I have to retain the savage, when I’m rapping away
I shatter the page but after that it’s back to the same,
Old habitat and pattern but the blackness remains,
Coz back in the day, my lyrics were a bunch of crap,
Bars about the guns and cash like I could ever run with that,
I was fucking whack, acting like the toughest cat,
But had enough of that so now I put a lotta love in rap,
I could resort to bunning crack, fuck a slag
And have a son I never see and be another drunkard Dad,
But I won’t succumb to that and til the day my lungs collapse,
I’ll breathe every breath I have to vent my rotten luck in rap,

(Chorus)
Coz some things never change, I guess it’s strange,
Everyday’s a Nightmare, lights glare at the centre stage,
Let it rain, pour down upon me,
Wash away my sins; lift this curse now up off me,
Will shit ever change, I guess it may,
If the day I might care’s right there let me celebrate,
And let it rain, pour down upon me,
Lift my restraints coz right now I’m not me,

(Verse 2)
I’m stressed out to say the least, tense seven days a week,
Anxiety attacks until I grab a pad and play a beat,
The way it seems is like I’ll never find a place to be
At peace, I think that’s why I love to sleep but hate to dream,
You can’t relate to me, I’m not the same as you,
You’re not the same as me; I’m nothing you’re related to,
I’m what it takes to prove not everyone’s as fake as you,
I can’t escape this prison but God only knows I’m praying to,
Hope is fading soon I’ll be another waste to you,
When everything I say and do just means another case to prove,
It’s hard to face to truth, when backed up with so many lies,
Wetted eyes, necking Vodka while I blaze a zoot,
Just trying to escape this zoo, by penning bars,
Tears falling on the pad just wishing for a second chance,
To separate my mental scars and re-attach my severed heart,
But will I ever step the path or is my future set in stars,

(Chorus)
Coz some things never change, I guess it’s strange,
Everyday’s a Nightmare, lights glare at the centre stage,
Let it rain, pour down upon me,
Wash away my sins; lift this curse now up off me,
Will shit ever change, I guess it may,
If the day I might care’s right there let me celebrate,
And let it rain, pour down upon me,
Lift my restraints coz right now I’m not me,

(Verse 3)
I’m not a political rapper; I’m not a super-lyrical rapper,
I just possess a lack of spiritual matter,
And when the syllable’s gather I hit a cynical manner,
Where I can summon up the heart to smash the sickle and hammer,
Invisible stature, and never lift my negative philosophy,
Lying to my relatives but everything’s on top of me,
Sick of all these friends and their hypocrisy,
Just leave me the fuck alone and let me get on with my quandary,
Setting on my odyssey but sensing an anomaly,
Coz everywhere I go it seems that everyone’s the boss of me,
And yes it fucking bothers me, how would you like it
If I brought up all your thoughts and hit a sensitive atrocity,
And never getting an apology, rejected and snubbed,
Living under false impressions I’m respected and loved,
Remain demented and bugged, feel like extending a snub
And testing if there really is a Heaven above,

(Chorus)
Coz some things never change, I guess it’s strange,
Everyday’s a Nightmare, lights glare at the centre stage,
Let it rain, pour down upon me,
Wash away my sins; lift this curse now up off me,
Will shit ever change, I guess it may,
If the day I might care’s right there let me celebrate,
And let it rain, pour down upon me,
Lift my restraints coz right now I’m not me,

Hope to get this recorded withing the next couple of weeks, along with a few other tracks for the new album...

[x Nadzy x]

Yeah....raining down my end now.

[Midnight EyeZ]

Mine aswell...London's been pissing down for a good few days now...

I've actually had this song written for ages but it's never had a chorus until I thought of one whilst standing, yep, in the rain lol...

Now whenever it rains I have to throw on the beat and rap along lol...

Yo dude I fucking LOVED this.
I try to never comment on flow unless I hear it but I rapped the whole thing aloud the first time I read it.
You flow really similarly to me and there are a shit load of words in there that I fucking love too.
Let me know when this is recorded please.

I respect this piece and I want you to make the best of it, so it's just my opinion that some of the rhymes in the last verse seem a bit forced. Like that word is only their because it rhymes and you've had to think hard to make it relate to your piece. Other than that dude it's immense.

Oh and I could already tell you were from London after about 6 lines. Haha.

[marioalosangeles]

I bow to thee, my lyrical king haha

[KRIM_TACTIKS]

Cheers man, appreciate the feedback...Can I just ask which rhymes you thought in particular were forced???...To be honest the only rhyme I can say was forced the "sickle and hammer" bar, and that's just coz I couldn't think of anything else to rhyme...I'd obviously heard of the sickle and hammer (or hammer and sickle as it's normally worded) but not being a political rapper (because I don't know squat about politics lol) I had to research what it represented and stood for...Not saying I disagree with you coz it's your opinion...Just wanted to know so I can improve on how I come across and sound...

Yeah it'll be up here first so check back in the coming months (I know I said weeks in the original post but funds are a bit low at the moment lol)...

I'm hoping to record a video for it...Just hoping the guy who's offered to do it for me is willing to stand out in the pissing rain and record lol...He's already doing it for free so it might be asking for a bit much lol...

Cheers for the feedback people...Being pretty much unknown it really feels worth while to get such positive feedback...
