"Seeing What Is"

[namix]

I once saw what I wanted, now I’m seeing what is
was ignorant… but now I get, the reason it’s bliss
for I was lost… and then found my reason to live
amazing grace didn’t sound more sweet than it did

cuz the plot gets a lot darker, deeper, and thick
but the ending is lighter; sparking me like a wick
it’s the story of a good book with no pieces omit
but the message gets hidden by reading too quick
---
I once dreamt I was awake; but kept sleeping for kicks
and kept livin in the present so life seemed like a gift
I knew I wasn’t perfect, and know most people are sick
but seen too many more broken to think I needed a fix

the more wretched the land, the better I am; it seemed so legit
so I elected the chant; rejecting the chance to be more than it.
protected my stance; neglecting to stand, in need of a lift
was given a hand… but never did plan on keeping a grip

we’ve all been living for believing… that a reason exists!
to question ‘I am, who am’, who’s been teaching us this?
my interest was amountin, which had piqued on a cliff;
and faith was a conclusion reached by leaping off it!

I kept seeking and seeking; couldn’t cease or desist
defining my life by trying to find some meaning of it
but the wisdom of the ancients said to believe like a kid
and the question wasn’t answered til it ceased to exist

i bet that I would testify; if I test, and reason with it
but beyond that shadow of a doubt was a deeper abyss
for what we sow, we shall reap; and I really dont knit
so it seems the seams I sew are all too easily ripped!

always something up my sleeve, an unreachable itch
i was deceived into thinking that we cant be tricked
but now i’ll swallow my pride before it breaches my lips
and practice what I preach, so I can preach what I did

we all get what we deserve, and receive what we give
…I once saw what I wanted, now I’m seeing what is.

[Solace]

That's very good, easily better than any of the drops I usually see around here. You record?

J.R. & ShadyTilIDie - no doubt brother, sorry about that!

Here is a link of a solid breakdown I provided on Eedee's piece:

Thanks for peeping fellas.

Solace - good looks pawtna. Yea, I've dabbled with some recording and a couple youtube drops. Definitely more known as a writer than an audio head, but won't stop doing either until I get where I'm going.

again- good lookin ya'll, appreciate the props/feedback!

I really enjoyed this. You had nice rhymes schemes and a great flow to this.

You really grasp that concept of "who are we?" and hit it home with great imagery. You need to write and post more.

[Spyder]

nice piece man, flow was nice especially for a CW piece with no beat posted. didnt have to re-read any part to try and catch what you said. great imagery involved in this, read like a poem really.

interested in seeing more from you and on different topics as well
