CHALLENGER'S RAP

  • Monday afternoon
  • Tidying the window wells
  • Baby chirps heard near
  • Mother duck worried, distressed
  • Saved I climbed down, set them free
  •  
  • Came back the next week
  • Noticed a few trapped again
  • Funky smells arose
  • Sounds of flies buzzing around
  • 3 ducklings rotting away
  •  
  • It's unfortunate
  • Though there were 8 in total
  • 5 alive and well
  •  
  • Happy perspective
  • Nature is cruel and unfair
  • Still I wonder why...
  •  
  • What made them go down there?

DEFENDER'S RAP

  • woke up with a gun in my mouth
  • the sandman had a warrant for my arrest
  • told me if i aint repent for my sins, he would blast me
  • i took it as a joke as if, maybe, i was still in a dream
  • but the taste of a glock cannot be replicated
  • i aint know what i was doing was sin
  • thought it was a part of the game
  • thought later down the line i would eventually stop
  • til i see visions of a prime 50, telling me get rich or...
  • you know the rest, but i guess
  • money aint worth the price of dying
  • knowing your whole life you been snatching souls
  • got a dozen lives to your name but aint ever cried for one
  • am i a monster, nah, monsters dont play by street rules
  • i was simply a sheep
  • embellished by the black struggle

Cookin' something up, just wait a sec...
