Hangovers last the weekend, but bad memories last a lifetime....

 

BOB

 

Let me tell you all, this is a song of deciet

About a young man who fell off his feet

I got inspired when I heard this track

So listen to me now while I take you back to

 February twenty five, two thousand and six

Eddies party started at six

And by nine five people hit the deck

Bottles on the floor and the place is a mess

People are recked

While we check for a phone

To try and get them home

Its already too late

Bob is on his back and he starts to spew

Good thing somebody spoke

'Turn him over or he’ll choke'

So we did and we took him outside

Someone stole his shirt as he dried

And I cant believe somebody lied the next day

Bobs dead you’d hear everybody say

But Sam; she believed the lie

And Sam; she started to cry

And as Bob rode past her house

She couldn’t believe her eyes

He’s alive

It was all a lie

 

To this day I wonder if he knew what he was doing

Cast all values aside

His new life is spewing

 

 Of course we could look at this differently

To see what happened originally

But I should have done this a long time ago

Cause I know some people want to know

Why this still happens and why this did

Well let me tell you his head was full of s**t

He probably wanted to forget something that happened at home

Something so bad

Maybe he felt alone

And needed attention

Cause he wasn’t getting any from Jarrett in detention

Did I mention the attention he got was really bad

Cause everybody at Eddie’s had a camera phone

So now everybody has a kodac moment of that tragic night when he got owned

 

In this world I realise

We are not all who we say we are

And the saddest part is when it breaks somebody’s heart

 

Got broken, broken in two

The second we all saw the spew

We wondered; Is this who Bob really is?
So week on the ground he couldn’t even make a fist

Cause he was so pissed that he passed out cold

Blank expression in his eyes made him look old

 Without any devotion

So much emotion in the air

You either love him, hate him or just don’t care

He probably forgot how it happened

And forgot how he felt

But Ill never forget

How I felt

So sick in the stomach and angry in the head

Cause made a mistake and somebody said he was dead

 

And the saddest moment is when we realise

In someones eyes all the lies they’ve spoken

Wish I had of stopped him

But hey, its all in the past

Hope he never does it again

He scared too many people

Including me

Author's Note

This is a very emotional rap piece for me, because it is based on a true story.

The rhyme scheme is well executed... I could see the whole thing happening. It's vivid and honest. It's obvious from the tone that it was a really difficult night, and you captured it really well. That's hard to do when making something rhyme. Good work.
