Hail Mary
Hail Mary
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51JC2F-FfZ4
The day the world stood still…
If my pen was a paintbrush, I’d paint a picture to see.
A story in time; when da walls closed n on me.
It was the day the world stood still, innocence lost, and tragedy fill
A day of ending and new beginning –
Witnessed a war: righteousness vs. sinning.
The day started as one of pride,
I couldn’t imagine the secrets the night would hide.
I couldn’t imagine the faith I would come to learn,
Or the realities brought forth of souls doomed to burn.
Don’t know the alpha or the omega, neither was in sight,
but I do know the harsh reality of my bliss that night.
Perhaps I'll never know why I was the only one in the room…
And perhaps I’ll never stop wondering if ultimately it'd be my doom.
Felt like an eternity standing toe to toe,
All the while --- thinking to myself friend or foe?
I looked at him and he looked back at me it seemed it was forever, paralyzed an eternity.
But it wasn't the eyes of my enemy,
More like a familiar stare I became aware that was long lost to me.
But yes, the eyes were cold, they were dark, and they were piercing me,
What courage it took for the angel who ran upstairs to rescue me,
at that moment I realized a hero is way more than anything I could ever hope to be.
I flew down the stairs, passed the quiet guard,
jumped over the porch landed on my feet into the yard,
And there I stood as if I was in this world alone,
and I wasn’t snapped back until to the ground I was thrown.
I think I was in awe, cause I realized the ramifications of what I just saw.
“For by thee I have run through a troop; and by God have leaped over a wall”
Literally!
For this is the night I believe the angels carried me –
The halos and horns I could see so vividly
That is why I believe in my heart a martyr fell before we.
Be still fear in our enemies with ignorance their disguise
Behold the angels with the tears in their eyes.
In that moment we all came to be one – there was no divisible sides,
Together we stood and for a second coexistence won.
There together to witness and mourn the wrong that has been done.
And that is the true meaning of loss when you all wanna talk about “lost one.”
And to he, at his last breath I think he took me too,
And left a lasting impression too real and too true.
For I felt the weight lifted when a spirit was called home and I knew it was accepted,
Not left here to roam.
It wasn’t at that moment I felt restored to reality
But the world stood still did not move again until I felt that first snowflake touch me.
Now, hail Mary

Re: Hail Mary
Do you have a recorded audio version?
-
Re: Hail Mary
really because i cant read this the way you would rap it
-
Re: Hail Mary
I can get one... can you give me a few weeks?

Re: Hail Mary
@Networth
you wanna try to change this to an audio? If you're bored one day and you can change any line to make it fit. It's just a concept. I'm just trying to see if how I write is for people who flow or more just like poetry w a beat.
@Daz
or a few years.

Nah it's mine, they put Da instead of the and changed a word to Bliss. Sorry bitch watching your classmate get gunned down and a party shot up and then watching him die in my lap in the car at the ER isn't bliss. I can see how for you it would be though. Why hide? Why lie? Why try to defamate me? Who ever you are and what ever screen name you hide behind now.

@ILLunatic
maybe - he would probably have to change a lot though

Re: Hail Mary
If my.. pen was a paintbrush, I’d paint a picture to see. [:31]
A... story in time; when da walls closed n on me.
I re..member the day the world stood still,
it was,, innocence lost, and tragedy filled
A day of ending and new beginning –
when I Witnessed a war of righteousness vs. sinning.
What a end, when we started the day as one of pride
Couldn’t imagine all of the secrets the night would hide.
Couldn’t imagine all of the faith I'd come to learn,
Or the realities brought forth.. of all these souls doomed to burn.
Dont know the Alpha or the Omega, niether in sight [1:00]
But I know the Harsh reality of all I would see that night
Perhaps I'll never know.. why I was alone in that room
Maybe I'll never stop wonderin on ultimately be my doom
But it felt..like.. an enternity standin toe to toe
All the while my thought was just friend foe.
We exchanged looks seemingly forever paralizin my energy
These eyes lookin back at me's not the ones of my enemy
But i became aware.. 1:24]
That these cold dark eyes piercin me had long their familiar stare
What courage it took the anngel to run up the steps and rescue me
That moment I realized a Hero is more than I'd ever be
Oh the courage it took her to come and rescue me
The moment I realized a Hero is more than I'd ever be
Then I flew down the stairs, and passed the quiet guard, [1:42]
jumped over the porch landed on my feet into the yard,
And it was there that I stood as if in this world alone,
and then I snapped back onto the ground to which I was thrown.
I was in awe... ramificattions of what I saw
“For by thee I've run through a troop; by God leaped over a wall”
Wit halos and horns, we the angels carried
Do I much bleieve a martyr fell for me? Very!
Wit halos and horns, we the angels carried
Do I much bleieve a martyr fell for me? Very!
Be still fear in our enemies ignorance they disguise [2:11]
Coexistence is won, no divisible sides
We came together as one to mourn the wrong that was done
If u behold the angels you can see the tears in they eyes
You lost ones..but real loss true
lasting impression on his last breath he took mine too
Felt that..weight lifted spirit was called home
I knew it was accepted, no where left to roam
Reality restored and your memories never buried
Rest in piece this winter, you winner and Hail Mary!

Re: Hail Mary
I wouldn't want to think he fell for me... I just met him and he had a baby on the way. It was horrible.

Re: Hail Mary
Sorry the tape/song wasn't horrible, him dying... the recording was hot - I will listen again when I feel better.

@Networth
I really wanna perfect it and for you to throw your edge and cut some lines but a lot of parts straight fire - and you can have it if you perfect it. If you ever make it just throw me a minor cut - that’s how and why I write too
