You don't know what I mean...but that's the crux of this entire forum! There is no actual duality! Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 1 minute ago, Jonas Long said: Is expressing desire the same as repressing it? Embracing the desire is opposite of repressing it, expressing... doesn't seem like it would be repressing but the problem is take for example, sing a song about love or whatever, it's not the same as experiencing what you want to experience, writing out what you want doesn't satisfy real desire, it can seem that way sometimes because it gives you a better look at something you don't actually want, but just Journaling or whatever about your desires is not fully expressing them.

Who says I just write or sing about it? Do you know about my life? Singing, writing, art, is a way of embracing desire. Why says it stops there for me?

Orb Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 @Jonas Long @Devin This would be a great discussion in another thread imo. I like the original vibe of this thread (appreciating & sharing), and these kinds of discussions while clarifying take away from the overall point of this specific thread.

Loop Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Death comes sweeping through the hallway, like a lady's dress Death comes driving down the highway, in its Sunday best A fire of unknown origin took my baby away A fire of unknown origin took my baby away Swept to ruin off my wavelength, swallowed her up Like the ocean in a fire, so thick and gray A fire of unknown origin took my baby away A fire of unknown origin took my baby away Death comes driving, I can't do nothing Death goes There must be something, there must be something that remains There must be something There must be something A fire of unknown origin took my baby away A fire of unknown origin took my Baby away Quote Mention Ten thousand tears, One Belly Laugh.

Loop Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I gotta do what I gotta do (uh) So who the hell is you To tell me how my song is wrong You don't know Layout & let the drummer go You think my rap's about stealin' But it's about feelin' Sometimes drug dealin' But few know how my flow Don't get the proper review I gotta do what I gotta do Do whatcha gotta do first Ooh Here go da verse I gotta do what I do best (uh) Kick da Nitti & Ness The danger zone They better leave me alone I got posse Lus the feds had better watch me I picked a bone wit' Arizona Droppin' kickin' a mission Wit' no permission I let 'em know why I did what I did I got dialogue Got 'em to even sing along & got the semiautomatic Tongue to da young When there's static They come & try to get some They had the nerve to call the president An' I wasn't hesitant To scream I was a resident So-called power of the people Lookin' for the truth Like guessin' my vest was never bulletproof I'm edgin' close to the line & it's fine time to know Why the hell & da f--- I try to battle so Much to touch never feedin' A crutch to lean on me Excuses is weak That's why my look is mean I’m on a level To the devils 'bout God Another reason why it's comin' hard My intellect doin' wreckin' effect 'Till it's through Gotta do what I gotta do I Gotta do what dey don't like 'Cause I got a mike The more I push & the more you learn & dey burn, you get another turn To take the helm recreate The realm of leaders Not to say you never need us But in da mirror You can do it, it's so easy to start Yeah baby you can see it on A flow chart And just in case They ever get me in da middle Of things before I go You know I'm gonna take a swang Until dey give what dey never Gave I refuse to be A slave I hijacked The airwaves Let ya know the dirt Swept under the rug Give the brothers a pound My sisters a lil' bigger hugs My rat a tat comin' right & exact 'cause it's true I gotta do what I gotta do Quote Mention Ten thousand tears, One Belly Laugh.

Loop Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Follow me into a solo get in the flow And you can picture like a photo Music mixed mellow maintains to make Melodies for MC's motivates the breaks I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays I can take a phrase that's rarely heard FLIP IT - now it's a daily word I can get iller than 'Nam, a killin bomb But no alarm - Rakim will remain calm Self-esteem make me super superb and supreme But for a microphone still I fiend This was a tape I wasn't supposed to break I was supposed to wait, but let's motivate I want to see who can keep followin and swallowin Takin the making, bitin it and borrowin Brothers tried and others died to get the formula But I'ma let ya sweat - you still ain't warm You a step away from frozen, stiff as if ya posin Dig into my brain as the rhyme gets chosen So follow me and were ya thinkin' you were first? Let's travel at magnificent speeds around the Universe What could ya say as the Earth gets further and further away Planets are small as balls of clay Astray into the Milky Way - world's outasight Far as the eye can see - not even a satellite Now stop and turn around and look As ya stare in the darkness, ya knowledge is took So keep starin soon ya suddenly see a star You better follow it cause it's the R This is a lesson if ya guessin and if ya borrowin Hurry hurry step right up and keep followin The Leader This is a lifetime mission, vision of prison Aight listen In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist Am I Eternal? Or an eternalist? I'm about to flow long as I can possibly go Keep ya movin cause the crowd said so Dance - cuts rip ya pants Eric B on the blades, bleedin to death - call the ambulance Pull out my weapon and start to squeeze A magnum as a microphone murderin' MC's Let's quote a rhyme from a record I wrote (Follow the leader) Yeah - dope Cause everytime I stop it seems ya stuck Soon as ya try to step off ya self-destruct I came to overcome before I'm gone By showin and provin and lettin knowledge be born Then after that I'll live forever - you disagree? You say never? Then follow me From century to century you'll remember me In history - not a mystery or a memory God by nature, mind raised in Asia Since you was tricked, I have to raise ya From the cradle to the grave But remember - You're not a slave Cause we was put here to be much more than that But we couldn't see it because our mind was trapped But I'm here to break away the chains, take away the pains Remake the brains, reveal my name I guess nobody told you a little knowledge is dangerous It can't be mixed, diluted; it can't be changed or switched Here's a lesson if ya guessing and borrowing Hurry hurry, step right up and keep following The Leader A furified freestyle, lyrics of fury My third eye makes me shine like jewelry You're just a rent-a-rapper, your rhymes are minute-maid I'll be here when it fade to watch you flip like a renegade I can't wait to break and eliminate On every traitor or snake - so stay awake And follow and follow, because the tempo's a trail The stage is a cage, the mic is a third rail I'm Rakim the Fiend of a Microphone I'm not HIM, so leave my mic alone Soon as the beat is felt, I'm ready to go So fasten your seatbelt, cause I'm about to flow No need to speed slow down to let the leader lead Word to daddy, indeed The R's a rollin stone, so I'm rollin Directions is told, then the rhymes are stolen Stop buggin', a brother said, dig em, I never dug 'em He couldn't follow the leader long enough so I drug 'em Into danger zone, he should arrange his own Face it, it's basic, erase it, change ya tone There's one R in the alphabet It's a one-letter word and it's about to get More complex from one rhyme to the next Eric B be easy on the flex I've been from state to state, followers tailgate Keep comin but you came too late, but I'll wait So back up, regroup, get a grip, come equipped You're the next contestant - clap ya hands, you won a trip The price is right - don't make a deal too soon How many notes could you name this tune? Follow the Leader is the title, theme, task Now ya know, you don't have to ask Rap is Rhythm And Poetry, cuts create sound effects You might catch up if you follow the records E. wrecks Until then keep eatin and swallowin You better take a deep breath and keep followin The leader Follow the leader Follow the Leader Quote Mention Ten thousand tears, One Belly Laugh.

Loop Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Wanderer never go Held you down, heavy snow I saw light fall Shimmering through my skin I turned so blind Just by tryin' to fit in Felt it in my bones, hidden melodies Why am I holding back? Help me please Turnin into every rain Drippin from the stars Travelling bodies the same Feeling every part In my soul, harmonies Into trails, into leaves Reaching from the core Whisper where to go Frozen down Turn is into heavy snow Twisted fantasy, twisted real world Where to lean? Help a girl Turnin' into every rain Drippin' from the stars Travelling bodies the same Feeling every part Turnin' into every rain Drippin' from the heart Travelling bodies the same Feeling every Part Quote Mention Ten thousand tears, One Belly Laugh.
