Those are motions - SotW [Week of 10-23-11]

That is fortune telling. Telling me that I have to get ahead before I can quit. When I speak in lyrics and hope you will catch them, I forget to ask what was intended to be told. Later on, that'll make me dance again.

SotW 10/23
'Till I Collapse Eminem ft. Nate Dogg



'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

Till I collapse I’m spilling these raps long as you feel 'em
Till the day that I drop you'll never say that I'm not killing them
'Cause when I am not then I'ma stop penning 'em
And I am not hip-hop and I’m just not Eminem.
Subliminal thoughts when I'm stop sending them women are caught in webs spin and hauk venom
Adrenaline shots of penicillin could not get the illing to stop.
Amoxacilin is just not real enough.
The criminal cop killing hip-hop filling minimal swap to cop millions of Pac listeners.
Your coming with me, feel it or not you’re gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of god lives in us.
You hear it a lot, lyrics the shock is it a miracle or am I just a product of pop fizzing up.
For shizzle my whizzle this is the plot listen up you bizzles forgot slizzle does not give a fuck.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Music is like magic there’s a certain feeling you get when you're real
And you spit and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment and every single minute you spend trying to hold onto it
'cause you may never get it again.
So while you’re in it try to get as much shit as you can
And when your run is over just admit when it's at its end.
'Cause I'm at the end of my wits with half this shit that gets in.
I got a list here's the order of my list that it's in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.
But in this industry I'm the cause of a lot of envy, so when I’m not put on this list the shit does not offend me.
That's why you see me walk around like nothing's bothering me.
Even though half you people got a fucking problem with me.
You hate it but you know respect you’ve got to give me
The press's wet dream like Bobby and Whitney. Nate hit me.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Soon as a verse starts I eat it at MC’s heart
What is he thinking? How not to go against me? Smart.
And it's absurd how people hang on every word.
I’ll probably never get the props I feel I ever deserve
But I’ll never be served my spot is forever reserved
If I ever leave earth that would be the death of me first.
'Cause in my heart of hearts I know nothing could ever be worse.
That’s why I’m clever when I put together every verse
My thoughts are sporadic, I act like I’m an addict
I rap like I’m addicted to smack like I’m Kim Mathers.
But I don’t want to go forth and back in constant battles
The fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers.
So this is like a full blown attack I’m launching at them
The track is on some battling raps who want some static
'Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I'm not the baddest.

Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out - am I high? Perhaps
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.
Till the roof comes off, till the lights go out
Till my legs give out, can’t shut my mouth.
Till the smoke clears out and my high burn out
I'ma rip this shit till my bone collapse.

Until the roof
The roof comes off
Until my legs
Give out from underneath me

I will not fall,
I will stand tall,
Feels like no one could beat me.

Need more time - SotW [Week of 10-16-11]

This song reminds me of that one time. If there's a second I'll stop in my tracks. So next time... for the first time, if rewound... we would be honest. If we knew what we thought.

Minimum Sentence - SotW [Week of 10-9-11]

Who to trust. Who protects. Who is there when I come back. Who I would walk with through the rain. The same through fire. Who waits - I'm wishing. Who else?

Serpentine Chris Bathgate


My lungs stone and my days all serpentine
The tight tightness in my chest rest and subsides
In one dull dawn with a hum that split its length
Does my name sting your tongue now does it babe


Your thin frame has set my eyes to fray
On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches
For every gray and sad hemmed heart to coil
And our frail eyes and their whites to finally toll


Now one brash phrase could crush this fragile day
As my thoughts swirl in some shrill sad cannonade
The one such spur that caused my throat to creak
The one dull dawn I’ve sentenced to repeat

Good Buddy - SotW [Week of 10-2-11]

It was so much new and so much the same, and so much that this time there were no reasons to make up. Keep losing my train of thought with that song on repeat. Good at convincing. Myself. Had to be.
And then I met you.

Oh My God Kassidy


Hanging on the sunny afternoon
Living on is all I want to do
People watching what am I to do
Waking up can never come too soon
When I put these stars to rest
I know that I can worry less
It seems that its just something I can’t do


So oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying


And hanging on the sunny afternoon,
Nightmares into daydreams if I could
Listen to the thoughts I won't refuse
And hoping it will do my heart some good
When I put these stars to rest
I know that I can worry less,
It seems that its just something I can’t do


So oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I cant stop crying


Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Standing on my own, I know I got to let it go
Let it go


So, oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, this time I know I've hit the bottom
Oh my God, I spend time with you
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying
Hanging is as hanging does
You know I can't stop crying
