Epiphany
• Written by Shane
Shane's Notes
This is the first rap I've ever tried to write, I know its a little rough at some parts (most parts), but hey. Inspiration was the fact that I find it hard to rap. Thanks for reading!
Hello all, I come from a long line of beginnings
Overall, we certainly aren’t know for winning
Whether it be in life, or on pen and paper
Ready to solve yet another lyrical caper
Please be ready to listen to my labor,
And please don’t call me a traitor, or be a hater
I tell you writing is pretty tough
I’ve had enough, in disgust
Because I can’t seem to get this stuff
But hey, I can’t sing, so rapping is good enough
Inspiration is all around us,
Actions, things that give you trust
Express it through mc’ing, theres a plus
If I was a fool, I’d keep my mouth shut
Before you all have enough.
Please, don’t put me in cuffs,
Standin here to this mic, its dust to dust
Take it anyway you want, just don’t fuss
If you have to wipe a tear, you must
Good thing I never cuss
But sometimes you hit your end
Can’t seem to get around this bend
No matter how you fend, you can’t seem to tred
You can’t pretend
Only way is up, so drop that pound of lead
So, maybe there is hope,
Take some of that inspiration help some folk
Better hope to God I don’t choke
Hear yet another croak, it’s my throat
It ain’t no joke,
Hope you heard what I spoke
I’m broke, can’t seem to get this,
How can I reach the end of a sentence?
Every time I think of one line it’s gone
Wake up at the break of dawn to
Take a look at what I’ve drawn,
Scribbles make me look like a pawn,
What is it that I seem to be missin?
Turn on the radio, give it a listen
Hear these other rappers just straight up spittin
It ain’t fittin, why can’t I be like them?
Instead of sittin here, paper and pen
Nothin comes to mind, my imagination is dead,
Like Heisenberg when he got shot up by the fed.
Maybe I can break out of this trend,
But what’s already said cannot be unsaid,
Put your trust in a better friend
Before you transcend
Past the end, can’t think of another noun,
My eyes widen, I lay the pen down,
For the whole time, I’ve yet to see,
It suddenly hits me, an epiphany
These words, were inside of me,
Someone just came in and let them free,
This whole thing is a little ambiguous, but let it be
I can’t rap, so this is just me
Don’t stop now or have to get that finders fee
If you wait, better wait and see
If you fail better get up, just look at me
I rewrote this like one two three
No one ever got an award for sitting on one knee
So be like George, and chop down your metaphorical cherry tree
