    Simplicity in a complex form....collab deacon/mentill/key-low

    Deacon
    Taught to understand WHAT?
    I break my inner shell to organize my body’s blood cells
    Entrapped, in a body that was never meant to be seen
    My simplistic style of living has got ah hold of me
    Breathe deeply but not too loud, so theres no sense to see me
    Crawlin through life, I make things harder than they seem to be
    Don’t take things in stride to recognize my family’s points
    I twist each limb and knuckle to initialize my weakend joints..
    Destruction is so easy when your swinging at broken tree limbs…
    Only to react by falling down to a ceiling of broken feelings…
    I thought I’d try to bust my pride and rip this ego to the side…
    But all I got was plan mistreatment by the things I couldn’t find
    I follow around a tickin clock to find myself back in the center..
    They created life in black an white to see my vision on this picture
    So simple form in complex state, I regain my ability to create…
    A day dream serious enough to end my life, a life I never made..

    Mentill
    A born fetus For believers who wish to understand
    Born off in a Wonder Land Far from bein' dealt the underhand
    Surrounded by thundered sands Cryin' tears of a saviour
    Before cell phones and pagers A soul lyin' in a manger
    Surrounde by strangers Not knowin' one present
    Named Jesus A peasant sent to be the son of Heaven
    To spread his blessin's onto the world A deeper message
    Willing to speak to word to anyone who would listen
    Kissin' the silhouette from a distance Destiny ... A cross
    At wat cost ? To eradicate our sins With his own blood loss
    Not lost But found in a town where faith and belief was torn
    Jesus Christ ... Born ... Simpleness In A Complex Form


    Key-Low
    An abundant amount of song composers, one Branded…“a Musical Genius”/
    ILLustrious vocals…fresh instrumentals…deMandin’ a Beautiful Seamstress/
    Standin tha Truest…tha Deepest…Jesus…if they truly underStood tha Agony/
    Blood and Havoc Leaves…frustration…rushed ideas Thud with Gravity/
    What a Tragedy…most people don’t realize…tha deVoted Time and Effort/
    Notes deSign tha Record…Lyke tha 1st Believers…Hope reLyed on Shepherds/
    Many thieves emBrace his Music…Take to It….and don’t Have a Clue/
    His talent…his Aptitude, his Fame Knew It…would reach this Magnitude/
    Online…bandits take a Track or Two, slowly but surely Diminishing his Work/
    His Visions Cling with Hurt…who knew his Gift would Bring a Curse?/

    Long ago he was prosperous… a dedicated and committed…Lyrical Prodigy/
    A Spiritual God of Keys…who never faltered…it was a Miracle, Probably/
    His Magnificent Verses, caused jaws to drop coinciding with Engaged Eyes/
    They Grab Attention of Persons, across tha top and release the Rage Insyde/
    Grown men lie aWake and Cry, but eventually people abuse his Generosity/
    They stole his music…Escaped with his Pride, which they Begin to Cop for Free/
    Thanx to morpheus, kazaa, and napster…he was up-Ended and Profits Ceased/

    Cd sales diminished…Expensive Property, now he’s broke and Forced to Quit/
    Love Aborted Quick…I’m sick of this Sorta Shit…no more Dropping Hits/
    It’s Obvious…buy blanks, steal artwork…save bank and Copy Discs/

    What if this would have happened to Beethoven?

    Complexity has been reduced to Simplicity…That’s the Thesis/
    It happened because of the illegal reproduction of Masterpieces/

    ok this wasn't close to 'legends' so calm down fellas, the topic's a bit played, the unborn fetus

    deacon, started it off nicely with decent content and simple flow, wasn't too impressed, mentil picked it up with his dope and very interesting content and word choice, i think he did the best....and key-low, i'm not the type of person to like your style, so i'm sorry.....but your bars were a bit long for a good flow and the content was nothin special. butthe imagery, word choice and emotion was top notch, you shined very nicely in those aspects, good job....i liked yoru verse more than i thought it would

    good job

    peace
