Cry ft. Manet
I've been gone for a minute. Since December and what not. Well, my girl Cara a.k.a Manet had died in December from a car accident. Me and Manet had a few collabs on this site. If you look in my sig you'll see them. And I was depressed for a while and I've just been able to write a dedication song to her. It's over the "Slippin" beat by DMX. We did a song before she died over the beat and I used the chorus she did, Just had to tell yall this incase yall got confused. I hope you enjoy this.

Cry featuring Manet
We miss you girl. Can't believe you're gone. My gaurdian, my thug angel. I love you baby. These words are from the heart.
Hook
There's no need to cry no more
There's no need to cry no more
There's no need to cry no more
(cry) We gotta stay strong just to breathe and move on
(repeat)
Verse 1
Throughout my life all it's been is sweat, blood and tears
My girl Cara who's been by my side throught the years
The only one whos been able to keep my hellspawn inside
damn girl why the hell did you have to die
It was the night of December 15, 2003
the night when you closed your eyes and no longer breathed
I saw your sister cryin her eyes out as she sat on the steps
Tears filled her palms plus homegirl was lookin a mess
I asked her what was wrong, she couldn't look me in the eyes
she kept tryin to say something but only mumbled someone died
So I'm sittin there wonderin what thew hell is goin on
then she looked at me and screamed, "Mike just leave me alone!"
I didn't listen, yup, the hard headed nigga
I'm sittin there messin with her, tryin to get this out ya sista
Then she yelled out the news, I swear I felt dumbstruck
why the hell my niiggas keep dyin, I mean damn what the fuck
Damn, your death reminded me how life is so short
I wish I could've told you how I felt before you soul would abort
My thug angel, you always kept a smile on face
when you and me were together I was in holy place
when you died, damn, it hit me like somethin else
I wanted to trade places so bad, I didnt care about myself
I couldn't accept the fact that my girl was gone
so I say my last words through this song

Verse 2
I was embraced in the shadow, the shadow of death
so many of my niggas have left with someone takin their last breath
Remeber those times when I'd say I never cry
well I cried like a baby when I heard you died
and I thought, how the hell was I gonna tell the clique
God damn this whole situation is a piece of shit
Now the fact I'll never see you in the physical form
I pray to God to meet you again when we're reborn
and I can't believe how fast the time has went by
from knowing you as a kid , and baby that is why I cry
you were the only one with me through the bullshit I went through
I always loved you for that girl, I just want to thank you
for the things you did, some of those thing helped me survive
Those times I was feelin down you always kept me alive
Since I wont accept the fact that you're gone
I say my last words through this song

Verse 3
Cara, here's somethin that should put your smile in the sun
I've stopped my gangbangin and I've put down all my guns
I would've never thought I'd see you go away
and it keeps reminding me I dont have that many days
I keep you alive through this song and these words
and it's nice to know you're in peace with the heavenly birds
I got a tatoo of your name on my arm, you're forever
as long as I'm here you're gonna always be forever
My tears stain the paper as I write this song
but I guess there's a time when we all come home
You left a mark in our minds and a mark in my heart
Jus the fact I'll never see you again is the worst part
I just wanna hear your pretty voice once again
I just wanna know your soul isn't flowin with the wind
I still can't believe it was you who had to die
and I tell you baby this is why I cry

You need to a leave a link to a reply or it gets closed.
But this was just very nice man, very deep and emotional...I dont know what its like to lose somebody like that but Im sorry it happened, I liked the piece though very thoughtful and it surely came from the heart, enjoyed it, sorry again man for you loss.

Flowed smoothly - obviously had your emotions in it and that came thru - worthy tribute piece - condolences - if you feel like it hit my Breathless - but don't worry 'bout it too much.

thats why you've been gone...missed you dawg..!!
--[Flow]---
You flow was nice...It coulda used some mroe internals but for the most part i felt this really was fluent and went right of the tip of my tongue...but flow is really not to important in a piece like this...
--[Vocab]--
You vocab seemed to lack, i've noticed this i your pieces before...it sorta picked up around the 2nd verse..but in some places seemed scattered and inconsistent....If you were to up this a bit...it'd give your writing some more depth and a chance to play around with words more..
--[Concept]--
This is the real thing...This, mainly because it is true, is one of the most heart-felt pieces i've read...You captivated the emotion but at the same time.. stuck to the story and reallt made me feel in touch with what you were saying...You imagry and the way you potrayed each person and how you managed to ake me realise how deep and how emotional you were feelin' when you wrote this song was phenonomal [sp.]....really deep...and the fact that you added Manet into this, kinda gave it alot more reality and made it more....authentic....& complax...dope.
--[Overall]--
The flow could used some internals and the vocabw a lackin' in some places..but that was all erased by your imagry,emotion and complexity of what you were saying...dopeness..."4.3/5"...dope shit Withers...i hope to see you back at Rb now...but this was a worthy tribute song...gets my nomination for Om of the month.
head up.

Damn..
Man.. thats dope. Really heartfelt..
Its hard to say that your vocab lacked or something because in the end it didn't matter. The words you used were nicley put out.. simple.. yet exactly as you would say them given the chance..
It flowed perfectly.. the way it opened had me sucked in from the start..
Enjoyed reading this piece man.. highly emotional verses throughout which just seemed to make it more as it continued...
Real dope man.. props..
-
I remember you.......when we were in D.O.I I told you to try and get Manet to register and join us......
This was a good piece. Emotions shone through for obvious reasons while still maintaining a nice flow. Vocab coulda been upped but I dont worry about that myself so.......who cares!
You let your emotions write this for you and it worked well...
Overall, nice drop and sorry bout your loss.
