High Tide
I got a fire in my chest, inviting minds to try ingest/
Lines that I have bind and pressed, the fight personifies my death/
With time to rise up to the mess, providing I’ve had trying tests/
Colliding grinding every step, so I have rightly yet assessed/
I’m like Noah’s Ark' Spectators floating farther from the ground/
Just trying to keep my head above water before I finally drown/
So I paddle away, wade, and pray for an eighth day/
Courage and great strength, determined to make way/
If I was a barnacle then, maybe I’d stake claim/
maybe id brake free from rocks encourage and take aim
I’ve seen traps in a distance yet I’d sin and trip over’em/
can’t react with resilience and consistently shoulder’em/
I’m chiseled in dads image, yet my vision is focused in/
Dirty mirrors that have me riddled cus my description isnt his/
Why do you insist to do this, and give me the kiss of Judas/
Or is it my own fault i still grow trees so very fruitless/
Lines that I have bind and pressed, the fight personifies my death/
With time to rise up to the mess, providing I’ve had trying tests/
Colliding grinding every step, so I have rightly yet assessed/
I’m like Noah’s Ark' Spectators floating farther from the ground/
Just trying to keep my head above water before I finally drown/
So I paddle away, wade, and pray for an eighth day/
Courage and great strength, determined to make way/
If I was a barnacle then, maybe I’d stake claim/
maybe id brake free from rocks encourage and take aim
I’ve seen traps in a distance yet I’d sin and trip over’em/
can’t react with resilience and consistently shoulder’em/
I’m chiseled in dads image, yet my vision is focused in/
Dirty mirrors that have me riddled cus my description isnt his/
Why do you insist to do this, and give me the kiss of Judas/
Or is it my own fault i still grow trees so very fruitless/
We must always and forever have hip-hops best interest at heart. We must allow ourselves to be critical of the music and culture so that ideas and beliefs that aren’t progressive can be eliminated and made unattractive to our youth. Our allegiance to Hip Hop has to be about more than romanticized ideas of misogyny, materialism, murder and mayhem. Instead our allegiances must be rooted in what we individually and collectively determine beneficial. The story of misogyny, materialism, murder and mayhem doesn’t end well. We’ve got proof. Doing what one believes is individually and collectively beneficial may allow for a better ending. Or better yet, no ending at all.

Re: High Tide
Flow was good here. The lyrics felt very personal. I can't say I understood what they all meant 100% but the gist I got was pretty deep and self reflective. Good drop over all.

Re: High Tide
I like this one. Favorite lines-
"So I paddle away, wade, and pray for an eighth day/
Courage and great strength, determined to make way"

I think that you aim for abstract, so sometimes it's hard to see the big picture. Your individual abstract metaphors are great, just a little hard to connect sometimes. Overall it's dope, like a party in Citrus Heights. Except the good kind of dope.

That was deep, I like the way it flow, keep the same strength throughout. Good drop for sure.

Re: High Tide
Thought this was def a dope verse. The flow on this was ill, the meanings were... well, meaningful. The vocab usage was well used. Enjoyed the read a lot...
