hero for a day.

[Lay Doubt.]

Topic
You are walking. You see a young girl (13-17) being raped by two older men. You yourself aren't a big person, and are intimidated by the looks of them. Do you help her, or go on as if nothing ever happened???


jenny's 14 with an old soul, she's been denying the answer
which is that her beloved father is slowly dying from cancer
and as she set out to visit him for his last chapter of life
who knew disaster would strike? here's what happened that night..

..exactly one year earlier..

me? i'm either too nervous to bleed or hurt and deceived more
i daydream about death cuz i can't find a purpose to breathe for
i feel so hopeless i close my eyes and all i see is a trigger
chronic depression from being diseased, i'm in need of a liver
atop a mountainside, gun in my mouth, yea i'm about to die
it's almost over, suddenly i hear a distant shout and cry
i should end my life now but i, have to wait till later in time
for someone might be going through a hurt that's greater than mine
out of the car, it's then i realize that as hollow it seems
my existence might be worth something, so i follow the screams
was always told not to wallow in dreams, but tonight's greater
i turn the corner, it's now or never, my chance to be a lifesaver
as guys rape her the fright shakes her, i'm scared to lose
two huge men, i'm only 5'8 when i'm wearin shoes
far as i'm concerned my shit is done, but you won't see this nigga run
i ain't kiddin son, so i jump on the back of the biggest one
the other two throw me to the ground, i feel my face as it aches
still it gives this girl the opportunity she needs to make her escape
i'd give anything for her to live, i'd pass on if i must
and with that said, she vanishes instantly, gone in the dust
god if i just, could get away too, please hurry this shit
i don't know how much longer i can take this flurry of fists
they're furious, pissed, i cried and they slowed
taking off in their car, leaving me bleeding on the side of the road
i awake in a hospital room with a doctor clearly walking
looking in my eyes he inquires, "can you hear me talking?"
i told him i could, then i thought i saw the dude shiver
as he informed me, "a man here offered to give you a new liver..
..you see i wasn't gonna tell you, but i thought it better you knew..
..oh, and also, the man who donated it left a letter for you"

to my anonymous friend:

"i give you this as a gift, now you may just wonder
why i did, and it's because my days are numbered
be grateful from this moment, make sure your time is better
i hope you remember me, cuz you'll be in my mind forever"

and then, on the page engraved like a potter..
it read,
"p.s., you're a brave man. thanks for saving my daughter."

Since this is seperate from the ya battle wit the biter, then NOW it could be nominated into legends.

Was feelin the narrative aspect of it more than anything else. I loved how u started it off talkin bout her pops in the beginning and at the end it ended up being your saving grace that he was dying. The twist in the topical is one of the best I've seen since BTK's topical. The imagery was dope too, the whole thing had a lot of detail behind it. Really feeling this peace here, bout to give it a nom in legends.

The description of jenny in the beginning set up the verse well. I liked the phrase "old soul" because she had been through her father's health problems, had to help take care of him. I suppose that her father made it another year, if the opening couplet is to be taken as the present. You put an extra guy at the scene than the topical told you, I thought maybe that was going somewhere. Having the main character want to commit suicide previously was alright. It wasn't my favorite part, but it gave his life worth when he saved her. The letter at the end was nice.

I'm starting to think that you either are Lay Doubt or you're a serious dickrider..because you nominate everything he drops for legends.

This was good, but this wasn't legendary. First problem: You're white, don't use the n word. That's just my pet peeve. The story was told very well and I liked how it flowed. You don't seem rusty to me.

god if i just, could get away too, please hurry this shit

^This part was cool..liked it..very smooth

Overall this was a good piece, the content was developed, etc.

But this wasn't legendary. Topic is very cliche and nothing made me go 'wow' but it was good.

Pz.

this is hella long but i got to say it was worth the read, this drop was very interesting, rhymes were good, complexity was good, strcuutre was also good, therte isnt really anything that isnt good in this drop, good topic and overall good rap skillz useed, great drop amn, keep it up

[1up]

definitely was feelin' this. I can get down with any narrative that's well put together, and this was especially well put together. Vocab and flow was very consistently above par, and the story had all the necessary portions of plot to make the complete up and down of the spectrum.

very hot shit, one of the better reads I've had lately, props mayne.

one.

also, if you could check out and/or vote on this battle I'm tryin' to get wrapped up one way or another, I'd appreciate it yo. s'all good, either way.

[SkullBreaker]

[Daz]

Ill edit this with a reply.

Just showing that i came, i just aint got the time. But ill reply later iight kid?

[master theisis]

this shit was tight

first off...you got the poet shit goin...you seem to be able to take words and flip em n switch em how you wanna to make the shit ryhme in a way that makes ya shit sound tight too...

ya structure was pretty much perfect and on to of that u made it a lil different by puttin lil captions above the verses to set the scene up

this shits also crazy b cuz its not self-absorbing shit like most people write raps too...it dont talk about yourself at all and i like readin a story better than read someone rap bout how great they are

9/10

[Record]

v/in as i said earlier.

[Lay Doubt.]

lol @ people nominating this for legends but not om of the month.

[~lextownkillaz~]

yo this shit was a nice peice i felt the imagry and the topic is a good topic i liked the intro that was nice this shit was long but i enjoyed reading it i look forward to reading more from you i give you props everything fell in as it should and it looks like you should put these vocals on a beat if you do i wanna hear it

[Marvman]

lay still that nikka wit the rhymes.

i pictured this as i read, a great deal of imagery. the way the story was told was perfect, had me on some IT Dance with the Devil type of shit. the rhyme scheme was great, the flow wasn;t too bad, could be better though, a whole lotta feeling could be seen in this piece, i give it a 10/10 simply cause i didnt get bored through any part of it, and the story had a lot of meaning.
