Sharing is Caring II

While I'm sharing music, I'll share another song or two today for the hell of it. This song is called pride, and this one is a rap that I wrote a little over a year ago. It samples Fall in Love, produced by J. Dilla. This was the first song I ever fully completed. I had a lot of fun writing it, hope you enjoy looking at it, and I plan on recording it at some point and releasing it on a mixtape.

I gotta write my thoughts down on this tree/ Because I can no longer lose them in this tree/ When the industry schemes to subdue revolution like it's the final solution/ And it all comes together again/ Going in circles like a ceiling fan/ We don't progress/ We just regress/ When we won't digest our pride (0:20)

I can't burn a bridge in the rain/ That's why I can never escape the pain/ Because where's there to go if there is no bridge (0:31)

I'm taking out my rifle/ Putting on my blindfold/ Then taking shots in the dark at the centerfold/ This was more than sensual/ More than just sexual/ In my mental you weren't just a rental/ Then you opened up your dental/ and tried to tell me gentle/ That you just weren't feeling the sentimental/ The fighting never ended/ Even when we ended/ Because the bridge never burnt/ I was sick of the fighting/ So I started writing/ Promising my love would remain undying/ Because even if we weren't meant to be together we can be together/ Until the end of forever/ But love can't exist in an environment like this/ A blemish like a cyst/ I insist it subsist/ But when I reminisce the first time we kissed/ I promise I can't love you anymore (1:13)

And it all comes together again/ Going in circles like a ceiling fan/ We don't progress/ We just regress/ When we won't digest our pride (x2) (1:34)

Postwar I deplore our rapport/ And swore to ignore/ I promise I can't love you anymore/ I can't stand the depression/ I have to stop the oppression/ It's time for our final secession/ But after another sex session/ I confess a confession/ That I've yet to suspend my obsession/ And did I forget to mention/ My final expression/ That I'll never forget your everlasting impression/ You agree to all I say/ We make up its great/ As you wipe the makeup from your face/ Everything will be fine/ I promise this will be the last time/ But a promise won't stop the crime (2:06)

And it all comes together again/ Going in circles like a ceiling fan/ We don't progress/ We just regress/ When we won't digest our pride (x2) (2:26)

I can't burn a bridge in the rain/ That's why I can never escape the pain/ Because where's there to go if there is no bridge (2:47)

I promise I love you/ I promise I don't/ I promise I won't stop loving you/ Promise you love me/ Promise you don't/ Promise you won't stop loving me/ I promise I love you/ I promise I don't/ I fell in love (3:05)

Extra verses:

Shitt on some deep shit/ Trying to reach it/ Because I'm the Regis/ But what's a king without his queen?/ Just a Philly without the green/ I'll admit I'm not perfect but I thought I was perfect for you/ And you were perfect for me/ I took a leap of faith
