Description: this was inspired by my own life and by the movie hustle and flow....
it seems like everytime you wanna lay down the mic, you find something to keep you going..
my heart was in this and im thinking about going somewhere with it.. you seen it first on elite....
Let the crowd hear you cry -------------------------------------------
its hard for a poet
people know the truth
but they to damn scared to show it
i've seen em come and go
erased by the exposure
of their basement flow
hard to keep going
hard to keep rolling
with the pen on lifes waves
got more on my mind
everyday my life might cave
but this is my time
turn the fan off
as i forcefeed you my rhyme
Chorus
I aint going nowhere
I got to much to say
I aint got time for your lies
As i spit this shit, my way
tell somebody else your alibies
Let em spin the hook
and let the crowd hear you cry
and let the crowd hear you cry
Looking through my eyes
you see murder and prayer
Look into my soul
you see jesus and terror
I spilt my heart into teddybear
without looking for a care
Then decided to back out da scene
because people say im obscene
then through inspiration
i throw you some more dedication
I see the burden of everybody
in my rhymes as my obilgation
so im gonna keep flowing
without hesitation
go to my grave knowing
my rhymes got validation
I aint going nowhere
I got to much to say
I aint got time for your lies
As i spit this shit, my way
tell somebody else your alibies
Let em spin the hook
and let the crowd hear you cry
tears or fears
what do you dread??
was it the gunshots?
or seeing your little cousin dead
that made you throw on pac
and listen to biggie small
was it the hook or the flow
that made you stand tall
is it nelly or lil jon
that had you thinking
of saying fuck it all
don't be alarmed
there's still emcees keeping it real
there's still soldiers
not worrying about a record deal
gonna keep the games respect
come steal or kill
so turn me up
and tell me what you feel
as i bring it to you
without teen appeal
I aint going nowhere
I got to much to say
I aint got time for your lies
As i spit this shit, my way
tell somebody else your alibies
Let em spin the hook
and let the crowd hear you cry
and let the crowd hear you cry
OMG. That is awesome. I could see you standin on stage before like a million people spittin those lyrics, seriously. Your words really have a lot of power. "My rhymes got validation" I especially liked that line. It speaks to the real writers you know. Like people who aren't writing because they broke up with their boyfriend and they think it's the end of the world. The people who write to speak reality and the truth of their heart.~Sam~
This is really great, I can hear it on the radio. I think you did a wonderful job in making us feel what you are saying. You are a very good writer and I will be reading more of your work. God Bless, Dawn
I really like the chorus. The verses remind me of nahlij's "Write". "and let the crowd hear you cry" is my favorite of all. I really can't say why, but it is. I'll be seein' ya around kid.
Wow, this really isn't my style of writing and it isn't the kind of thing I usually enjoy, but there was something about this I really liked. You're going to want to look over it for little errors like using *to* instead of *too* I really liked *was it the hook or the flow that made you stand tall* and *don't be alarmed there's still emcees keeping it real there's still soldiers not worrying about a record deal*
I'm letting the crowd hear my cry - AWESOME! Your words, your rhyme, the timing, the images, sh*t - everything! "I aint going nowhere I got to much to say I aint got time for your lies As i spit this [censored], my way tell somebody else your alibies Let em spin the hook and let the crowd hear you cry and let the crowd hear you cry" I love that Better put me on the list for when this one comes out too... Lisa
wow...i think you have a hell of alot to say!this is gonna be on my fav list like...real easy..your stuff is so great to read...its the kind that makes my heart beat fast and makes me wanna just...idk...its just a good feeling!
you know what, things always have a way of working themselves out. cade, you are such a skilled poet and emcee that i find it so difficult that you let that bull[censored] get to you. you gotta stand tall, let YOUR pen write your wavelegths, don't let these priks strap you to a chair and ask you yes or no questions.~P
huh. good u still got something 2 say. betta not have lost ur edge. this is one of ur best cade. i agree with suicidal this is fave material. anyway hustle and flow was the [censored]. everybody gotta have a dream and sometimes u gotta fight 4 ur dream or that's all it's gonna be. a dream. "troy"
"i've seen em come and go erased by the exposure of their basement flow"
Basement flow?!? What the hell is basement flow?! And the first line makes me laugh. "It's hard for a poet." Ahem... YOU ARE NOT A POET! You are a rapper. Quit calling yourself a poet. The 'chorus' said enough about that.
I aint going nowhere I got to much to say I aint got time for your lies As i spit this [censored], my way tell somebody else your alibies Let em spin the hook and let the crowd hear you cry
tight i like thsi one its pretty tigh i like the way it flows and i really dont know wut else to say besides its tight
Interesting flow! Very visual and deep. As everyone else, I like the chorus and the verses. I did have a little problem with the first line, but maybe it's one of those things that is better heard than read. But that one little line doesn't hurt the poem because I understood it! And I love the title...it fits! nice piece yo! keep it up! peace!
