"CATS JUST BE RAPPING: FLAWS & ALL" aka NEW OLD MATERIAL!!!

Musically speaking...


Here's a project composed of old, and slightly new, material. As the title suggests, it's chocked full of rapping and rhyme scheme goodness of both the good and bad sound quality variety. It's been a while since we've accomplished a complete group project, so I figured this stuff could stand to be released simply because I doubt any of it will be re-visited. Whatever the case, I hope that you'll find at least one track that you can put on repeat and play out for your family and friends for the holidays and beyond. ENJOY!!!

Teller

So long to the old way of life, and rationale, I sit alone late at night thinking I have to tell, something or somebody, pad, person, or verse, see I have purpose, it hurts, when you ask for, things to take place, but can’t, sat, waited for the longest of times, focused noticed that I’m, the things that they say, I was, I now realize and know that I am, I told it to them the people I help, I say then, ” why not embrace it, and receive it myself?”, poppycock, really thinking that I needed no help, proceeded like, “who needs them?”, seeing that they’re leaving oh well, go tell, a friend she believes the season had fell, upon a star, daydreaming, how I’m deep in a spell, it’s written, across my face and when you read it tells, the truth, and the truth is, I was fond of those, but I couldn’t reciprocate, hit the gate, it was time to go, re-illustrate, the feeling can’t, the design is gone, did it anyway sit and wait, now I’m trying to hone, my skills, so it’s at a level you seek along with this retreat I’ll practice impeccable speech, one thing I can honestly say, I used defense mechanisms, to cope with the problems I face…so until I can sympathize, I will never fully understand, the fact I’ve been living lies…

Miscellaneous verse from (hopefully) soon-to-come project pt.3

Musically speaking...


Do What It Do (rough demo) by youngiftednblack

This a warning for any lady interested, I got issues, issues that you ain’t into, and, you shouldn’t get involved with me and my mess, cause, me and my best friend are me and my ex

It’s in your best interest to pay attention, cause if you’re interested in me you might just pay admission, to a crazy life, now it ain’t like I ain’t tried to make it right, but I paid the price messing around with this lady I can’t exactly get away from, see, she’s kinda like a high school sweetheart, meaning we messed around but I liked other people, so I dated them, and she was sitting on the side, didn’t give her my undivided attention, but she still popped up uninvited to listen to my relationship woes, and then her face glowed, and then we’re up all night making figure eights, oh, boy, and I can’t get away, no, she’s always on my mind when I finish great poems, it’s kinda like she knew that I was finna make flows, so she decided to ride even if it ain’t on, on me, oh my, see, we real cool, but it really won’t fly, kicking it with her, when I’m supposed to be with you, cause check it, you’ll always feel you’re coming in second

4AM (rough demo) by youngiftednblack

It’s 4 o’clock, I’m awake, you know that I’m probably playing video games or recording the final take, more like the second option, but know that I gotta wait, cause 4 of us gotta say whatever the verse is, so we gotta g-g-go, til we showing up outta state, and blowing them out the place, the audience standing, “so foreign, they outta place,” at least that’s what they think til we undoubtedly showing them how we play, got them wondering, "yo, why didn’t we pay more for this show, cause these cats are more than I take,” so why not bottle it up and pour it out on your plate in the morning for your breakfast and sort it out for the day, got more of it by the weight, just show us where to drop it off, “either by the door or just throw it behind the gate,” oh by the way, the first serving is free, cause we know you’ll want more, second orders are on the freight

Thoughts (rough demo) by youngiftednblack

I just, I just, I just gotta do it
Take it to the next level, high as I can move it
Got a lot to prove, so not a lot to do
But to just do it, I just, I just gotta do it

I just, I just, I just gotta do it, so you can follow, follow, follow all my movements, and see how I, how I, how I write the truest, so I can find my, find my spot up in the music, and that is why I'm, why I'm trying not to lose it, cause if I ever did I'd be forgot with no conclusion, and that is not a, not a option that I'm choosing, and even though I'm a product, product of influence, I embrace the best parts cause that's how I got so fluent, speak the language that they cypher so I know just what I'm doing, but I gotta keep it moving, cause the bottom is the ruins, so I'm aiming for the top, get the highest honors, but it's not as easy as it sounds without a high amount of units, so really what's the point if you're out before you knew it, got everyone laughing at how you blew it, but if that were the case, this beat, I wouldn't bother writing to it
