CREATIVE DIFFERENCES

ALLONE:
I watch the sets they play
and soulless music that they generate
I'm sorry it's not something I can venerate,
the generic tepid attempts they make,
I got it, you wanted to entertain,
but there ought to be a better way!
If it isn't "thugs with weaponry,
slinging drugs and excessive pay"
the feminine gender disrespectfully referenced
or sexual preference degraded then its disseminating
the desperate vain aggressive claims they're "special"
and they'll "never fade". sounds rather pathetic eh?
Lets debate: If you're so intense and greatly creative,
then authenticate! I mean what'd you expect we'd say?
Try new topics, lets be honest, would you expect positive
responses from a boss at a job if you jotted
"I have a marvelous resume" in the margins of your resume?

DRENT:
hip hop's Pawnographic, everybody fucks with you
but how come I can't see the point of view
in a nutshell, out of the ordinary
in response, gut feeling and facilitative commentary
telling, every emcees integrity...
...falsely accused has mistaken identities
but maybe memories, serve me correctly
you kept it 100, the (turn of the) century...
...was entirely mine...so keep the present moment-
um...eventually, only matters of time...
...and confusion, in unison bow
you can't have much to do...if little know how it is. (and) how it's going to be,
because we don't agree to disagree, the differences are similarities

CHORUS:
Creative, this is life no more fabrication
Different, honest artists' goals and aspirations
Creative, Crafting truth with bold imaginations
Different, With hopes to heal, a vocal vaccination.

DRENT:
rap is a joke, hip hop is dead
when character loses colour...it tears from the red
finger paint towns, streak down main streets
expose; naked truths, for the same shades as concrete
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
Seeking motivation but feeling uninspired
It’s an acquired taste/test, digest, swallow your pride,
change your outlook, slow dance on the inside
Perceptions perceived continuously
together/apart within fearful symmetry
we suppress to succeed, but fail to understand
if he’s...worth mentioning...it’s the money in his hand
so if my value is determined by blessed burdens or
the things he carried, than I’d rather be a sin to hold onto than sin set free
YES!!! we promise the world, but there’s no guarantee
Don’t say "I’m the future", when passed down
the ladder, as a tense rung out, less strung out Joe Brown
without tattoos, trademarks or slogans
it’s “Party, OH-WHATEVER”, or shameless self promotion
If you wanna take a chance, you gotta take risks
In streams of consciousness, ignorance is bliss
If you wanna hold your weight, you gotta take turns
We agree to disagree on agreeable terms [x2]

ALLONE:
I get it, "Woah the lyricism is intense, imposing"
and I'm dense, verbose. This isn't about pretentious poems,
this is my obsessive chosen experimental approach
and an extensive set of goals with attempts to goad
our sentimental mental zones.
I'm convinced without inventive motives to test and mold
the foundation that we set in stone,
we'll never round up the corner stones
and gear up to lay the tracks to play a locomotive role
in the esteemed engine running "Aberrantly"on pressured "Coal".
Yeah its great to ceremoniously set the tone but then you boast?
Lets not rest our notes as a whole!
Lets melodiously address the symposium
with a progressive phono-aesthetic ode!
For me, it's a terribly stressful prescient moment
pondering the plethora of things I'll never get to know.
Honestly, it isn't impressive to be an intellectual,
just get a book, digest the tome's text to stretch your skull!
It's not the facts that test the soul, but the facets of your ethics code
and if you adhere to the quest invoked
when you hear the messages spoken
sharing answers reaped from questions sown.
We're all different obviously
but with creativity used properly
we can mend the globe,
living prosperously mapping life's geography
to assist one another along symbolically...
I mean, that's what defines a "legend" no?
