Scapegoat ft. Laureate

Look at you staring at me,
as if you were god’s gift to earth.
I look off the reflection in your eye and all I see is guilt.
You know what you did.. you..
It was you!

Me?

Yeah you!

Nah, see this indescribable scene reeks of
your doing, I’m through taking the blame for
your sporadic decisions, keep wishin your
vision will amount to something, your nothing,
a ghost where a decent person once stood, and in
the end as always…
It was you!

Me?

Yes you!

What? You got the situation construed.
Thoughts of me doing wrong,
were only thoughts of you.
So twist the visions of your mind in essence—
your thoughts. Take them for what they are worth.
Not a damned thing, and remember..
Lie to me… and tell me it wasn’t you.
Because I see you bathed with the devil,
and you are dripping sin…

Me?

That’s what I said.

Look bitch it’s all you, through the
tunnel of fate, left me behind, watchin ‘
your shadow take my position, on
your venture to the unknown,
the indescribable unimaginable
illusion of power, and divine
nature took—

—fuck that! Trust me, you, that was definitely you!
Read it and weep
Water and salt. I watched your gait
Moreover, it doesn’t scream “Innocence” Like mine!
Oh no!
You sat and cackled. You flashed that wicked grin.
They screamed and you laughed!
You can’t remember because you—


— Weren’t even there, that’s right
because tonight I was absent, and when
you walk the dark paths there is no
reflection, so don’t—

—Shut the fuck up! You! You! You!
It was you , they bled because of you
Their blood is on your hands, YOU
So don’t tell me what I already know, fuck it
You can’t blame me for your actions
when I punch a hole and shatter you, yes you!
You may look like me and have the same features,
every fingerprint, ridge, birthmarks, DNA
but you are the evil, you did it!

How much do you look like me now?
Your face stained with cracks and shattered onto the floor
You have a knack for making people bleed.
Look at my fist
You, I can’t believe you.
Why?
Why did you make me know I did—no!
It was you.

I was reading this thinking this is so cool. I loved it thought it was genius and fun actually what can I say bad? This piece was really good who did what?

[Masahiko.]

Ok.. I made it really complicating.

I really dont like explainin shit.. but I want everyone to get the meaning

It's one person, yelling at a mirror.
He has done something so evil he wont even tell himself.

[vocabz]

this was definitely some crazy ILL shit right here... fucking incredible.. the best piece Ive seen yet.. somethin new, too... Ive never seen it done before.. far from played... you two did a great job.. wordplay and all... the ending was my fav... all the aggression.. the hate... DAMN... its just perfect.. both of you.. nicely done.. this is definitely Hall Of Fame work... no doubt..

You two should start doing collabs more often.. not many come like this.. I didnt see nothing bad at all... reading it was like reading a book by Dean Koontz.. i enjoyed it alot.. keep dropping... i'll keep an eye out..

[Neruda II]

Haha, well done my man.

After the first two stanzas I managed to realize that its a reflective poem where a guy is just dealing with his own demons. I've heard this concept many times but I must say this is one of the more enjoyable ones. I really loved the tone, as I read I was intrigued by the writer's voice. I think Diverged really had the stronger part in this, he really got creative with it and structured his verses amazingly well(and effective). The imagery was pretty good too. I really enjoyed this, straightforward, great imagery, really refreshing tone, it just had a good atmosphere. I can't say I took it too seriously cause it's a bit over dramatic(we are dealing with a killer here), but that's what really put a smile on my face at the end. It was like I didn't have to get too into it because I know it didn't hold too much realism and relevance to the writer's life. It definitely had an emotion about it, I guess its something we all feel, just written to an extreme. Very good piece here.
