/Verse - 1

(MedD) 

Ultra violence

The loud sounds of the sirens

A lonely mom that lost her son

Now tell her, who's her prized one

Corrupted dreams of a fiend

How fucked up a scene to be seen

That's what's up with these city streets

Now bust up the dream to relieve

Synthetic side effects

I'm convinced of the rise of it

Like forgetting the lies of it

Dice fell down and decided it

A higher order has rigged it

Our lives are sold without reason

Some kind of hidden agenda

Now rise up, up from your seats and

We'll begin to take this back

I will lend a hand with my rap

Will you just stand there way back

Or sit down with hands in your lap

Come on

Rise up, rise up

We can end this any day

But you're scared of what you'll lose

And you'll settle for this taste

An infinite distance

Persistent existence

Sentenced to lay, wait, and witness

As they wrong us, ask forgiveness

See a comet, say your wishes

Hope for longer, maybe get this

But you're nothing, we're disgusting

No discussion

Man, forget this.

/Chorus

(MedD)

Have the stars aligned?

Have the Gods all died?

I will cross the line

Setting life on fire

Spinning and spinning

We run in circles

Trying to walk a straight line 

City to city

Have the stars aligned?

Have the Gods all died?

I will cross the line

Setting life on fire

Spinning and spinning

We run in circles

Trying to walk a straight line 

City to city

/Verse - 2

(MC Koya)

I present a collab

That won't be a fad

Cause this fate

Put me on a better proper endeavor 

That I could measure the best of my ability

Like the two stars that we are, we collide

A black void is created in the system

Give a ray of hope

Peacefully listen to those who've left

And they still sound broke

Yet the devil has a compass

And I won't believe to them to be a man

I know the best of it in the system

Respect is given to the dope fiend

Who hadn't been a dope fiend for over 6 months

Pick a pipe and properly write

For we shall slay this trashed pop culture system

And then you can see that this hip-hop game

Will make us rap demi-gods

This b***h is gonna break like the system that it is.

/Chorus

(MedD)

Have the stars aligned?

Have the Gods all died?

I will cross the line

Setting life on fire

Spinning and spinning

We run in circles

Trying to walk a straight line 

City to city

Have the stars aligned?

Have the Gods all died?

I will cross the line

Setting life on fire

Spinning and spinning

We run in circles

Trying to walk a straight line 

City to city

Author's Note

Collab I did with another local rapper. I wrote my verse and the chorus, I know you need to like rap to like it but if you do then great!

Reviews

[Dayran]

A tune to a message gives the message a lasting power in the listener. Something they can hum to when running in circles.

[Damien Davison]

Heheh, thank you for listening. I like that, that was good!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Got to say I loved this rap. What a lovely melodic piece that rips the heart out with its poignancy

[Damien Davison]

I'm glad you could enjoy it John, thanks for reviewing!

[Ufi Auttorri ~ Amy C. T..]

To me, this speaks of hopeful hopelessness; people trapped in a rapitude of apptitude gained through the intolerant mercy of the streets with the beats that leave us purple and squashed and sometimes broken. But there's still the stain of who we are, who they were, how we thing about, plan about a walkabout to something that shines a little brighter when it's dark.. so dark. Y'all do good work, MedD.

[Damien Davison]

Thank you for listening and interpreting, I'm glad you enjoy my work. I figure music is a universal thing, and although rap may not be, it can still be appreciated, and through it my voice shall be heard!

[Be myself!]

I like it. The second rap, who did it? It is kind of different i guess. Good job. I like it.

[Be myself!]

To bad you didnt add a girls voice.

[Damien Davison]

The second rap was a local artist (Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada) named MC Koya, met up with him and he dropped a verse in this track. Thanks for listening!

[Be myself!]

Yea. Was that you rapping the first verse?

[Damien Davison]

Why yes it was, and singing the chorus

[Be myself!]

I like it and your voice. :)

I'm not much into rap but I do keep up with current artists and to me this sounds better than whats out there now. To many of todays artists are a bit repetitive but this spoke to me. The flow is smooth, the lyrics stand out, and its altogether a very nice song!
