The "Official" Poetry/Freestyle/Remix Thread

since the end of the page kinda fucked me...

two new (unfinished):

she came in peace and sleep to speak relief

beliefs were wreathed in violet streaks of broken speech

spoke to teach, florescent reach to break a beat

across the break of dawn and paint a sheet of orange leaves

with heaps of bars piled steep like harvest sheafs

bleak darkest deeps beneath our feet sprung gardens sweet in ardent fleets

fleeting flight flurries of hurried worries retreat from hardened streets

hardly discreet with stars as seats and martyred leaps

disheartened leaf still floats by rocking boats with hard-earned leaks

re-wrote the hope in widened scope before the creaking hull was breeched

high tides hide the beach the seagulls screech and rolling swells repeat

but soon it's low, the churning foam and surging waves slow to a seap

a humming breeze tears free the paper chains of fading green

belated dreams overcast in clouded scenes by means of serenading screams

but sun beams are seams, sewing clouds of cream and blue to make a new day

gleam in trickling streams redeemed by rustling trees....

-

a whispered face to place the most suddle of smiles

while we stand here the world just passes by in huddled miles

traced the grace in puddles of blue splashed on rude back round hues

drab space contrasts with you, if asked the truth there no moment i'd rather choose

this look back passed through, eclipsed by a slender shoulder

stopped in my path where the few moments that i lent her blew over

grew colder in some lost wind full of caution that somebody was tossin'

memory repeats of suddle cheeks and streaks of gold have caused grins

thin silence, vibrant light that makes my wide eyes squint

i spent only moment trying to memorize tints and shades, these shadows hide hints

of beauty, threw me behind my eyelids in moments of serene

a scene seen in true blue through two blue windows stolen from dreams

 
^sick stuff man. i've been lacking for while because of college stuff, but i just got an acoustic guitar from a friend so i might try putting more stuff together
 
poem i thought of when i was vacuuming, just rhyming words to a beat sort of

arousing suspicion

superstition

prohibition

sign the petition

remember the mission

the viscious

circle of life

the strife

hear bang bang

shots in the night

the fight

out of sight

ghetto woes

killing shit out of spite

might trite ways

on hot days

the summer of love
 
it seems kinda like you're just using random words that rhyme just because they rhyme. you know? like theres no real purpose for them
 
now, i wrote this last year, i wrote it after i bought ski porn, i didnt like the movie much, but it gave me the inspiration i needed

Ski Porn

It’s not a magazine

It's a skiing video of my fantasies

A video of skiing

A video on the people who live out their fantasies,

The fantasies I hope to one day live.

Why you ask?

Cause I grew up skiing and it's what I breathe.

 
haha yea, thats kind of the point, the purpose is kind of that they go together to show like a series of events, looking into a lifestyle or whatever...i know it doesn't stack up to yours or anything, but i didn't think it was terrible...im awful at writing normally anyways
 
my buddy and i decided to write wraps in study hall, we got part of this one done today, ill update as we progress i think it'll be sick though...

im chillin at the spot got ta find a bowl ta pack full of dis mary jane im holdin onto

if i knew you'd threw in too id'a grabbed a blunt an' rolled it up an' smoked it to (yup)

i dunno, we kinda had a complicated beat that it goes to but i think its sick so far...
 
freakin college applications are killing me, so when im finally done i'll have more time to think and actually write a little.
 
here is a quick poem i just wrote.

STRESSED?

stop what you are doing takea deepbreath and admire.

admire the simple beauty.

the bueaty of every day things.

things that are often over looked.

Don't worry, remember "time fixes everything"
 
Bringing it back up. Got a ton more shit

--

A little bit of headrush, kick up the bass

A little bit of sickness, let your heart race

Claim the dope beat, please pick up the pace

Put it all together and you got us in this place

It’s a happy melody, sad undertone,

When I mix it up, I feel like I’m in the zone

Not drunk, not high, not trippin, not tweakin

It don’t even matter because we’re not freakin

Mad or depressed, sad when I rest

I’m a young son of a gun straight from the west

Straight illmatic, bred from the war-torn fabric

Of the States and I know that we’re all that is tragic

Forget about it party to the beat that I lay down

I’m contagious, spreading sickness to the whole damn sound

Puget Sound that is, lyrically diseased

Suck it up homeslice, get off your knees

There’s no stopping time, so embrace what you got

It’s like time stops when my sick rhymes get hot

I’m like Rainier, dormant but not

When will I blow up, and when will I stop

You don’t know when, please gather your things

Earthquakes come, flood watch it brings

Drowning in a sea of lava and mud

Damn you’re tripping your eyes are just so blood

Shot when the cops come, deer in the headlights

Pull the car over, “Have you been drinking tonight?”

“No, sir…should I walk the line”

“Your pupils are too dilated I think you’re not fine”

Downtown you go, away from my show

Wish you were here? Scrap up some dough

Get out of bed, get on your clothes

Get a real job, don’t mess with hoes

Switch up the style and dance with the ladies

Pimp yourself out, relax and just maybe

You’ll get some tail in your bed tonight

It’s a possibility but it might

Not come true, man, please just step up your game

Work with my fame, make her scream your name

Tongue in tongue out flit around make her spout

She’s a screamer isn’t she? Bring her voice about

Sick sensations running down your spine

It’s really divine, dine on her brine

You lose sense of time when I spit my rhymes

It’s like when I pull out she’ll have no lines

There’s biggie, and there’s also tupac

One preaches peace one gives girls the knock

It’s like East vs. West without the tick tock

Of the timer on your clock, pop pop the glock

Because if sleep is the cousin of death

I’ll change my life plan, incorporate less breath

Cause if each breath takes away a bit of life

Restless warriors don’t need a knife

Protection’s needed, but not where I go

I’m a middle class boy, but I still got a show

My past might be bitter but the present is sweet

And I’m hoping for more good times to repeat

Rap it, tap it, light it and pass it

Blunts, nines and 40s, I don’t take jack shit

Don’t need to…because I don’t belong

And this is why I make poetry out of song

Weapons protect me, but my verse is deadly

It is the ammunition that I use, feel the flow in me

Luke Skywalker, jedi lyric skills

Because I’m a minor I don’t need to pay bills

Funky fresh flow with a happy tone

And like I said before I keep in the zone

I got my headphones, keep the low tones

Bass keeps pumping it’ll rock your bones

And my verse is a dome crack

The beat holds the back

Kick it with me, feel the love that I laterally

Give away since I’m living without a hint of salary just pave the way

But it’s a happy melody, sad undertone,

When I mix it up, I feel like I’m in the zone

Not drunk, not high, not trippin, not tweakin

It don’t even matter because we’re not freakin

Mad or depressed, sad when I rest

I’m a young son of a gun straight from the west

Like Nas, illmatic, bred from the war-torn fabric

Of the States and I know that we’re all that is tragic

Forget about it party to the beat that I lay down

I’m contagious, spreading sickness to the whole damn sound

Puget Sound that is, lyrically diseased

Keep it up Seattle, to the tops of the trees

--

And so I sit there, on the back of the bus

King County Metro, just another Puget Sound plus

It’s a break from the rain and the thoughts of the war

Because y’all know that these thoughts are sore

In the US of A, still raining today

206 area code way down to the bay

Got the music bumping loud and I’m penning my rhymes and the only action is to go all the way

It’s all or nothing, no in between

You’re a dealer or your face is on a magazine

Bill Gates and Kurt Cobain, y’all know the names

The Northwest is where you can live out your fame

And I’m playing the game, NGP is the name

The best of the west is my property claim

So don’t try to hate just do your thing

Come out here we’ll take you under our wing

--

Listen to the rhymes that I steadily flow

The Northwest fills me up straight head to toe

I represent the 206 area code

And the way I be spitting just makes you want mo’

Born on the East but moved to the West

New York and LA can’t even mess

Don’t try to mess with the West, it’s a test

Seattle is the answer, we’re the best of the best

--

Bud is passed around on every street corner

To the natives and the locals and even to the foreigners

Suicide is highest which is why we got the mourners

But to keep it lighthearted we also got the lawyers

It’s a well balanced mix of dope fiends and wealthy men

From Rainier Ave to Madison straight back to your hood again

We even got the Blue Scholars, my biggest inspiration

They gave me my ideas to this Northwest creation.

So hop off the bus and head to the next station

It’s a half mile walk through the daily duration

of Seattle lifestyle in 206 time

sped up by coffee and the daily grind of grime

being swept off the streets to open it up, the Emerald City really knows what’s up

So when you finish up your Starbucks go and get another cup

It’s three-point-seven-five dollars more corrupt

Nah I don’t believe that it’s just simple business

The techniques make almost everyone a witness

But along with the shops we also got the fitness

Most fit city in the nation, yeah y’all can kiss this

--

Listen to the rhymes that I steadily flow

The Northwest fills me up head to toe

I represent the 206 area code

And the way I be spitting makes you want mo’

Born on the East but moved to the West

New York and LA can’t even mess

Don’t try to mess with the West, it’s a test

Seattle is the answer; we’re the best of the best

--

Hip-hop got big here where all should travel

It grew into a poem from the ballpoint pen’s rattle

And I don’t do this normally but I got to tattle

I wouldn’t live anywhere but the city called Seattle

Dialectic bumper stickers up in my face

It’s not just a culture it’s a whole other race

It’s a race against time while keeping your grace

Steeze ain’t easy, yeah it’s hard to replace

So I flow it to the next level at my own pace

Brain seen through my mouth and the snare and the bass

Kicking up the vocals yeah this shit ain’t laced

There’s no one in Seattle who acts a disgrace

I believe in God but most of us don’t

Seattle is secular and it just won’t

Admit to the traditions, of the olden times

We respect the new change, we’re progression’s gold mine

So I bring the beat back to us line by line

Old-school style with the musical rhymes

But I keep the time, staying with the melody

The flow goes along ‘cause it’s a dollar and not a dime

And so I keep it up with a hella fast spitting flow

Don’t want to do this straight up just because of the dough

And like I said before I rep the 206 code,

Am I in the right mode? My verse is quite a heavy load

This is where I plan to keep my family crest

I flow like the Pope while he’s God-possessed

You want to diss the Northwest? Be my guest

But I continue on my daily visual quest

Observing the public in the place where I nest

I’m a predator with eagle eyes yeah I’m blessed

With the talent to keep this verse better than the rest

I’d like to think I got an A on life’s test

I’m so sick with it man, I’m a leper of music

My city so diseased I don’t think you can use it

The sick flows come from where two plates split

God’s design is great I think you have to admit

This is why we’re earthquake prone and it’s why we got smart domes

It’s not where there are wiggers who wear that stupid chrome

I finish up my tone; I’m in the zone

I’m proud that Seattle is the place I call home

--

Listen to the rhymes that I steadily flow

The Northwest fills me up head to toe

I represent the 206 area code

And the way I be spitting simply makes you want mo’

Born on the East but moved to the West

New York and LA can’t even mess

Don’t try to mess with the West, it’s a test

Seattle is the answer, we’re the best of the best

--

and a joke rap.

Yo my name’s matt fry

I will poke you in the eye

And you might cry but you just won’t die

Suck it up nigga…

I blast the beat

To the track sound of this masterpiece

Seattle’s where I live, reppin da north

Gansta flow is what I put forth

This is for my homenigs in rogers

Don’t fuck wit us we don’t wanna be fathers

We da pimps, no sluts or hoes

The danger keeps us on our toes

Slingin the gat, while I’m shootin a cat

Niggas don’t fuck wit us, I know that

So break it down, lil homie in my town

Get the gang together, tie him down

Stab him in the eye, yeah my name’s matt fry

And I’m fly, so fresh you just might die

 
^ nice way to bring it back. after getting applications done and stuff i had to start doing scholarship stuff and the schoolwork never seems to stop, so i haven't had much time. but there's this kind of talent show thing going down at our school and i heard the song "hallelujah" covered by Big Chicken Dinner on www.thesixtyone.com and i realized i could easily do a little remix of the song.

so in about 2 days i wrote a few verses that go through a quick timeline through school or w/e. i could've made it a lot longer going through each year of school and hat not, but i didn't want to be on stage for like an hour.

so anyway, i'm gonna try to video me singing and my friend playing guitar so you can hear what it should sound like, but for now you can listen to the song "Hallelujah" from the site i posted up there^ and just get the main idea down.

I’ve been in this school for oh so long,

So I had to go and rewrite this song,

You didn’t know I was creative, now do ya?

Well I can rhyme and write, I got talent you see,

But I can’t play guitar so I brought him with me,

He’s James and he’s here to play the hallelujah.



Hallelujah 4x



It’s been 4 years since I left St. Rose,

And I’m just getting used to wearing normal clothes,

If I wore the uniform now I’d rip through ya.

The shirt and the tie, the hot sweater vest,

And the navy blue slacks that I liked the best,

We’d wear them to church and sing the hallelujah.



Hallelujah 4x



Then I came to high school ready for new friends,

But I’m still stuck with James after each school year ends,

It’s the truth and I had to tell it right to ya.

It’s not funny don’t laugh I only hang out with 2 kids,

Tried to buy friends on ebay but I was outbid,

So alone I’m here to sing the hallelujah.



Hallelujah 4x



Senior year now but I’m not ready to go,

I tried taking it easy and walking real slow,

But someone in the hall always has to push through ya.

April, may, june, the halls empty out,

Then summer vacation that’s what I’m about,

But before we go I’ll sing this hallelujah.



Hallelujah 4x



It’s time to get serious, off to college now,

I made it through high school and I still don’t know how,

MHS hey, I think we outgrew ya.

Well I ran out of rhymes, I can’t sing anymore,

So I’m stopping the music and I’m on the floor,

Now it’s you turn to sing the hallelujah.

and for background info, i went to a catholic elementary school (St. Rose) where we wore uniforms and occasionally sang hallelujah in chuch, and now i go to public high school (MHS) and seriously still only hang out with 2 kids outside of school.

 
o yea and the last verse where "i'm stopping the music and i'm on the floor," my friend is gonna stop playing guitar and i jump down to the gym floor.

then when it says "it's your turn to sing the hallelujah," hopefully everyone at the even will come together and sing hallalujah 4x while i just walk out.
 
hopefully this song will get put on our crew's edit

We put the G in Ski

And I rock the mic

I never forget, it’s just like riding a bike

So spit the sickness, there’s no difference

J, E, and A brotha that’s what I mix with

I hold my poles like I hold a knife

Straight up and down, I live a cold life

It’s a cold world, man, with some stone cold songs

Mine are one of them, bear all your arms

I might annoy, but I do enjoy

The look on your faces, the world is my toy

The hill is my drug

the snow is my beer, the powder is an opiate, calms my fears

So I laugh and I sneer, I readily appear

at any moment in which you are near

My crew rolls along, bouncing to the beat of the song

thumping bass hell yeah we stomp like king kong

I spit sickness, yeah rhymes of pure mischief

Lift this, elevate to the heavens of mixed bliss

You missed this? Don’t want smoke the spliff kick it with us?

Rhyming like no other I advertise our clique’s stuff

 
Vandalsthe green lizard swings
into service
little feet slap
at the surface

the barley mice find their way into heartwork metal lattice

tall corn splits to sixths
scarecrow
stalking silent

sweet little girl
sleeps under moonlight
phosphorous waves
lick at her sandals

their vandals

killing young boys
for their mantles
stained teeth pepper white
ship sinks so slowly

vandals

oh weigh anchor
blood red shanker
shared blader
pirates weigh anchor

as i lay here
water rushes over me
for heartless decree

slinking black shadow
man in robes
steals the bread dough

theyre vandals

serpant king
of eastern wing
flight of seagulls
palm trees and beagles

vandals

where ARE they gone
vandal sing song

they were vandals

drugslaved gods
Current mood: angry, and sad and calm
Category: angry, and sad and calm Musiclies fill their heads
bought from a book by the dead
ancient truths hold not
any value
made by messiah
wisdom outstanded by
he who knows everything
abouth nothing at all

masking sweet gift
open tuned neurosis
awaken the orb
peace be damned
all i want is war
all we need see
through our broken backs
and scorched retinas
weed priest going through
on his way
to holy land
of emerald pipes
and long bongs

so can you too descend
to the root of holy eden
freyr's garden
sweet green herb
might you deserve
marijuanat's blessing
low sound droning
god's great unblessing

"what really makes herb so evil?
what makes us so afraid?
because it opens new doors,
to new perceptions,
and some don't want those doors opened,
and then, if we open those doors,
we might learn something new,
which makes us harder to control"

burning, on stone alter
hashish, bloody halter
sweet, perfume
filling the air
unworthy minds
are no longer there
pray, for enlightenment
from your dreary empathy

fall into trance
undo your pants
lies become downcast
burn the paper
made by those
who dont undestand
the bible
the people
thibk they know
he who knows everything
about nothing at all

lies

slick political freeting cards
played as fucking retards
noone has a choice
opening their mouths
sucking "god's" cock
try to say no
swallow the snow

obey your master
the lies spread faster
unlock your mind
think he's kind
because heaven and hell
are the same thing
as life and death

weed priest immolation
gone to gods stagnation
ganja garden in the sky
living just to die
feeding brain's starvation
man's hidden indignation
thinking nothing
injustice through imagination

hope last on shatterred sky
masochistic meth high
the pills are so stuck
taste like fuck
veigns closed from mutilation
heroine made sedation
nose bleeds from anticipation
cokewhore assimilation
the man on the street
enveloped in smoke
happier now lifes a joy
burning bud like its a toy
happy forever
live well forever
coulda rolled a joint bitch!

and what of he
preaching of syymetry
a pastor is he
killing my favorite tree
high on the bible
parable of fire
build islam a funeral pyre
burning ganja bush
extinguished
long ago
is he really
so enviable
sitting there
reading the bible?

here's a little something i wrote during a class period in a kid's yearbook during the last week of school. he showed some people and eventually it got around to one of my teachers who then let me say it over the PA system inbetween periods on the last day

I write rhymes on this page coming straight from the heart,

Too many great times, who knows where to start.

Let's not think about the past cause we got the future ahead,

And when we graduate always remember what I said:

High School’s not forever but I wish it could be,

Cause the best years of my life are all behind me.

All the friends you make and stories you share, don't let them slip away,

You can live for the moment but remember each day.

But I’m excited for college and the surprises that await,

Cause the future is an amusement park and I’m standing at the gate.

We don’t know what will happen or where our lives will go,

And if you haven’t learned at all here’s one thing you should know:

High schools not forever and I don’t need it to be,

Cause the best years of my life are still ahead of me.

And I look forward to college as it's coming undelayed,

For the last 4 years of my life there is nothing I would trade

We worked so hard, laughed so much; school wasn’t much a chore,

So raise a glass, lets have a toast- here’s to many more.
 
so it's been a long time but i felt like i should bring this back, it's been over 2 years since i created it and there's some good stuff. i've written a lot over the past few months especially with college and stuff, but only have a few things saved on my computer.

here's something i wrote only a few days after starting classes and i just wanted to try a different rhyme scheme:

nothing says home like the back of my dome laying on my own bed,

or the magazine stack in the newspaper rack with the comics i have not read.

oreos in their place in the rubbermaid case wait for me each night,

cause there comes a time when i like to dine or maybe get a quick bite.

the comics unfold as a story is told and i always switch on the tv,

i sit in the dark as my mother remarks there's no way i can possibly see.

i reminisce about all that i miss like the places where i would eat,

without ralphs for a drink i'd always think no day was truely complete.

missing the beach my past out of reach i realize i have to move on,

but it doesn't seem fair i have no clue where high school really has gone.

i guess i'll mature but im not really sure what will come out of these years,

there's much i don't know and it seems as if though what i learn always dissapears.

at the end of this road and written in code i can see the future for me,

but right now all i care is about being there- home's where i wanna be.

here's another college related and explains my obsession with oreos:

well i've counted the oreo wrappers and it matches the days i've been gone,

which proves i need them in my life for me to carry on.

cause i'm over 300 miles away but they make me feel like home,

and they're waiting for me in my dorm so i know i'm never alone.

it's not the same without milk and comics but that doesn't stop me from my crusade,

i'll make due with a computer screen and assorted flavors of kool-aid.

with every bite i take and after every sip of my drink,

i wonder if in my chain of life, are they the missing link.

it used to be the double stuff but i got the regular in bulk supply,

many don't understand how i feel so they just wonder why.

soon i know i'll be running out, but will i have money to buy more,

looking for change anywhere i'm scouring the desk and drawers.

and if that day should ever come, when i'm left without my friend,

im packing up and heading home cause thats when college will end.

and here's another one i wrote after getting sick of hearing my roomate talk on the phone in the room when im trying to take a nap or do work:

if i suffocate myself i'll never have to hear his voice,

should i stay or switch my room i wouldn't have to make the choice.

school won't be a problem i'll never have to do more math,

throw a toaster in the water and i'll take my final bath.

i know that it's that easy but i don't want my life to end,

i'm happiest when im not in school so i observe the trend.

do what makes me happy that's all i ever think about,

and when will the day come when class is finally let out.

but if i were to die tomorrow there is one thing that i wish,

learn from what i had hoped to do, my advice was always this:

do what makes you come alive cause that's what the world needs,

the future is a garden and our dreams they are the seeds.

right now they're covered with soil but soon they'll live and grow,

so prepare for the future but live for today the present is wrapped up with a bow.

and here's a little exerpt from a text message "battle" me and a friend had:

you got a heavy week yo i got a heavy load,

each day i walk in silence is a story left untold.

so i try to express what i feel each and every day,

cause rhymes are chapters in my book and books are written that way.

but sometimes shit just gets too rough too hard to say what's inside,

so instead i scurry into my bed and under sheets i hide.

cause i thought sheets would keep me warm in a world that's o so cold,

but the shivers still come in the dead of night no matter how tight you hold.

and finally the beginning to the most recent thing i wrote (last night) about how i can get dismissed from college. hopefully the story can change and i'll turn the poem around, but here is for now:

how quickly everything has changed, too fast to take control,

tumbling, falling, crashing down, tearing apart my soul.

distant goals have dissapeared, do i have a future left?

to take away my dreams is, above all, the greatest theft.

i've heard of hope and persevearance but they're so hard to find,

stuck here in the dark with my best years all left behind.

and i know how they all feel cause it's just the same for me,

my life has truly been destroyed, im standing in the debris.

sorry for the longggg post but i wanted to just get some stuff in
