"The Whole Blocks Hungry"

verse 1

I'm on the streets, stackin my own bread.
Still draggin them old vets.
Been in the game for so long, and everyone knows that
I'm trackin with no sweat, leavin behind no steps
Why the fuck i'm gon rap about someone...
.............................everyone KNOWS is dead
so what if he had holes in his head
Or maybe even holes in his chest
I've seen niggaz with no necks.
With a slit from one side to the other...
.........whole throat is a mess
Stiff as a rock, layin cold with no breath
Fuck rollin deep dog, n fuck bangin
puttin my life on the line, for someone i'm in the same gang wit
why walk around......doin some lame gay shit.
Followin the leader, and wearin clothes color cordin-ated
Watchin them same niggaz window shop..
.............cuz they broke ass can't afford to pay for shit
How the hell you in a bind tryin to make 4 hundred
Doin ya thing...still thinkin you so funny
Tryin to convice me that you aignt no dummy.
but what since does it make B...
......If you doin all these flips and STILL aignt got no money
Don't call me again....cuz you aignt gettin shit on the flow from me

Chorus

I said...The whole blocks hungry
And even though, it brings a whole lot of money
My shops closed....
...............................Can't get nothin from me
Why am I gon put my life on the line
Tryin to feed you and the block at all times of the night
Havin to run from the cops and then tryin to hide
Fuckin feedin you and the block man
i'm popped back, takin care of my own life


verse 2

My whole life i been learnin the game
.....................................and feedin the block
But i still cant turn away when i see that its hot
Cuz the money it brings in,
.................Keeps ME from 'feignin" to stop
Spendin hundreds in the store, n leave them in shock
Cuz the stores empty now and they need to restock
Why the fuck am i...gon work by the week at a job
Do I believe in that na!
Cuz i make more in one day..then a couple of weeks
why work.....pullin doubles for cheap
Averagin 5 hundred or so every other week
When every 2 days you can be makin another G
Then you realize all the trouble it brings
And ya eyes open up...
.......And the old check is somethin sweet
Cuz ya friends gettin popped
And they houses gettin raided
When you really INTO the block
sellin pounds of mary jane and
Sellin ounces of cocaine in
The same neighborhood, you been around since the day when
Ya first got popped....And ALL the grounds began changin
But 11 times dog....I aignt got an 'ounce' of strength left

Chorus

I said...The whole blocks hungry
And even though, it brings a whole lot of money
My shops closed....
...............................Can't get nothin from me
Why am I gon put my life on the line
Tryin to feed you and the block at all times of the night
Havin to run from the cops and then tryin to hide
Fuckin feedin you and the block man
i'm popped back, takin care of my own life


verse 3


If you in the game you in the game for a reason
And if you can't change what the game brings
.................then you can't afford to keep it
And if you bang and you can't hang,
.....................And don't be feignin
If you said u had more then 3 chances man i wont believe it
I've had soar and weak hands for longer then most these teachers
Started the game year round, cuz every day was open season
You can't kill me....... i don't believe in over bleedin
But i show proof and and belief in those believers
I see like you see and all the others that over see me
I got more stories to tell to others then oprah winphrey
The problem is...i got more hope then the hope thats in me


(repeat chorus)

uppin

nothin really original....been done many times before...nothing new...your rhyme scheme was there..it was basic..but it was there....you could def use more complexity...better vocab...some wordplay and multis....really this was a basic piece...not to bad but played out topics always ruin a piece...be more creative and more complex..other than that..not too bad...keep elevatin.~1~

^ok.....thanks for the feed..


uppin for BETTER feedback

hey man this was real good... I think taht you had some real good multies that didn't come off as forced like most people on internet sites... I mean there are some flaws when it came to real compexity but I don't think it was too far off... good peice and a good read...

If you could give the feedback luv... it would be much appreciated...

^thanks for the feed.

Uppin

This was cool. Like trea said this was very basic, but it was pretty interesting. Rhyme scheme was cool, but fell off in some places, but nevertheless, I enjoyed the read. Pretty good stuff. I use cliche topics, but try to step outside your comfort zone and write things you would never think about writing. Peace.

^thanks for the feed...

i'll take in that advice def. and use it on my next om

This piece was dope, bro. Im waiting to hear this shit in an audio.
I remember days like this, soft lefts and hard rights...
The sickness, keep bringin it...
It reminds me of when I was younger.
This dude I knew, always feeding off me.
He turned trick, though... A clown ass nigga...
