Rap Like Rabbit Battle Rap

Rap like Rabbit battle Rap

21/05/2018

Livin by the beach and baby life’s good
Not stuck in a rut or in a crummy hood
I’m writing tight rhymes like you know you should
Or like you thought you would
No like you wish you could
But man you ain’t got no wood
Your actions so sloppy n soft
I’m holdin the trophy aloft
Yeah my critics they all scoffed
But my paper leads the way
To hear my rap you gotta pay
The pretty skirts all wanna stay
So many I gotta shoo em away

Cause I’m the one you wanna be,
livin the dream and copping cream
Yeah I’m the one they wanna see, they be givin it away for free

Now listen up a while
And you’ll hear my roarin style
Insults on you I’ll pile
So deep you’ll run 8 mile
Like a rascally rabbit
Talkin rain like Charlie Babbitt
Stuttering’s your best habit
Tear out your heart man I’ll stab it
Oops now your bleeding out
But your soulless words don’t shout
Your lips just quiver n pout
Man... I know what your about

Cause I’m the one you wanna be,
livin the dream and coppin cream
Yeah I’m the one they wanna see, they be givin it away for free

Look at you your a disgrace
Tears a runin down your face
Can’t keep up with my hectic pace
No I won’t show you no grace
Cause now I’m free flowin fast
Like I’ve had a wicked blast
And your junk is still half mast
Oh Man your moments past
Now this is kinda tricky
But your Calvin’s Kleins are sticky
Man I’m just takin the Micky
Out of your sweet little dicky

Cause I’m the one you wanna be,
livin the dream and copping cream
Yeah I’m the one they wanna see, they be givin it away for free

I can’t help but be like this
My arrows never gonna miss
And when you do throw out a diss
I’ll grin or smile and blow a kiss
Cause you can’t touch me dog
Girl on your arm looks like a hog
Girl on mine’s so hot theirs fog
Your starin speechless your agog
I got the paper, chicks and words
You can’t even find a use for verbs
I bet your smokin chockin on herbs
I’m clean n mean, mind undisturbed

Cause I’m the one you wanna be,
livin the dream and copping cream
Yeah I’m the one they wanna see, they be givin it away for free

Why People Why

Why people why




About so many things I want to let fly,

Political correctness is like a stick in my eye.

Capitalism and greed over helping others, WHY ?

State sanctioned murder, yeah let the innocent fry.


Apathetic laziness, will lead to obesity,

Get moving people, it’s hard but it works trust me.

My lazy Son the millennial wants it all to come easy.

His education costs a fortune but it should be free.


I like Rap music but not the way it denigrates ladies.

The way it glorifies drugs makes me crazy like rabies

And the language is horrid, no ifs, buts or maybes.

But worst is violence towards kids or on babies.

Slam Time Man

15/04/2018. Slam Time Man


Im only a novice at this Slam style man,
So I’m gonna go hard on your so called Jam
Your slow n sloppy style make dissin you easy,
I’ll do it all day man, just cause it please me.

I’m quick n I’m quirky, always slick n not dirty,
Unlike the tripe from the gutter you snipe.
Ill go with my flow like I’m running the show,
While your heads hanging down ima takin your crown.

See this new kid in the cribs a crazy wordsmith,
My rhythm n rhyme makes you sound like a blacksmith.
My soft, sweet sound is more than you can handle,
Your rough, raspy rubbish is like rapping an anvil.

I’m too cool for school, but I’m nobody’s fool,
Your raps rudimentary, your speech so sedentary.
So I’ve pounded your game for my own personal gain,
And I winning this Slam just like that, Wham Bam.

Societies Shame

Societies Shame
02/09/2018


Toothless grin implores
Pleading eyes so pained
People passing ignore
Beggar should be ashamed

Compassionless society
Lazy get a job
Regardless of sobriety
People lose all hope

Victim of circumstance
Job loss, mental health
Heartbreaking happenstance
Me relative wealth

Reach down deep
Cashless society
No place to sleep
One eye open nightly

No change given
Change a mans life
Suicide driven
Problematic rife

Never with cash
Unable to help
Make a mad dash
Bank Commonwealth

Change for a man
Giver not receiver
My helping hand
Made a believer

Help others I implore
So much to gain
My heart left raw
Society to blame

Consumer

Consumer
02/09/2018


Life around me
Lose control
Price of energy
Eats you whole
Consume
Attain
Distract
Disdain
Life betray you
Purpose lost
Love thy neighbour
Whatever the cost
Consume the falicy
Attain more... MORE
Distract from the dying
Disdainful dead next door

Life Is Beautiful Pain

Life is beautiful pain


Suffering is seldom a choice one would accept,

Why change a custom in which you’re safely kept.

Personal and spiritual growth can come with a toll,

Though benefit you will in your mind and your soul.


Pain is perfection allowing you to heal then grow,

If not for the bitter the sweet cannot glow.

Imagine a life where every meal is ice cream,

Imagine being burnt but not needing to scream.


We may plunge from great heights into depths of despair,

Now look at those around you and see what you share.

There is joy in the purest most intangible of things,

Sharing a blanket or hug and the warmth that it brings.


Beauty like a rose is the more precious for the thorn,

A Rhino’s just another mammal save for its horn.

The majesty a crack of lightning brings to a storm,

Your senses on fire when spring begins to dawn.


Struggle and strain make the winning worthwhile,

Take the first step soon you’ll be running a mile.

The pride you will feel can never be replaced,

After fighting and beating the troubles you faced.


If you're lucky enough and suffering comes your way,

Heed these sage words and let follow what may.

Don’t walk with blinkers on for fear of getting lost,

Open your heart to experiences no matter the cost.

Going My Way

Going my way
02/09/2018

I’ve always known better than others,
I smirk to myself in the corner.
Of a meeting of like minded souls,
But one which I think kinda smothers.

Follow these steps to be like us,
It’s the one and the only safe way.
If your not quite feeling it, well that’s ok,
Place your faith in us and just trust.

Keep coming back for hugs and not drugs,
And the cushion of safety in numbers.
It’s a really safe place we’ve cultivated here,
Even though most of us once were thugs.

As hard as I tried, I never got what they had,
And I really tried to fake it till I made it.
But there were too many deaths, too many relapses,
I couldn’t put my life in another mans hands.

If I wanted to live a life worth living,
I was the one who needed control.
One needs to want it more than anything else,
And you start with a large dose of forgiving.

Yeah I screwed up,
Yeah I was dumb.
Yeah I would sup,
I wanted to be numb.

Yeah I was in pain,
Yeah I was selfish.
With so much to gain,
It’s still hard to relinquish.

It starts with a plan,
and faith in yourself.
I’m not doing all this
for anyone else.
No more meetings
of miserable men.
My trust is where it belongs,
In me, just me and not them.

Unpurged Sad Memories

Unpurged sad memories


Unpurged sad memories lay waste to my soul
Surreptitiously seeping to the fore
Flee me from demons devouring me whole
Lest eruption at my volcanic core
Paint your face happy clown
Sup sweet elixir down
Please please let me drown drown
Sad not sorry
Long lost story
No more worry
From conscious recall morbid memories stole
A child’s innocence no less no more
Never forgotten his predators growl
Or beard thorny

Sweat

Summer sand soft and sultry,
Salty sweat, sweet and wet.
Wistless wind, waveless water,
Bathers baking, basking burning
Seagull scavenger of shiny sea
Searching, scurrying squabling over scraps.
Wandering women walk with will
Wondering why weight won’t wither.
Trembling toddlers take tentative steps
Towards towering tidal tempest
Cumulonimbus clouds clearing
Silent sky screaming
Silken sunlight streaming
Doting Dad daydreaming

Winter Beach

Winter beach
09/08/2018


Cool breeze, Leafless trees, Arctic freeze

White cap waves, crumple and cave

Solemn solitary Seagull, pestering peckish people

Sandy seaweed soaked, covers beach cloaked

Frozen fisherman, fearlessly on rock stand

Baby carriages creaking, silent sleep waking

Boxer dog proud, breaks silence loud

Terrifying tike terrorises on her bike

Vast vista view, living large a few

Clear sky cloud free, wind swept jet stream

Smelling salts from sea, rejuvenation for me
