    Unhappy Sniff n Spliff

    This is probably the most personal thing ive written in a long time... it's all real

    I'm spendin life blendin in and sendin lies
    defendin mine and hopin that pretendin why
    she had to die will get me by...but it can't
    no matter how I falsify my shaded eyes don't slant
    the truth... is I never committed to her life
    so in death I had to admit it to my wife

    yes my big sis has passed on she didn't last long
    like my favourite fast song, hate myself and that's wrong
    cuz I didn't stuff the sniff in her face
    wasn't me who puffed da spliff in ma's face, disgrace
    but never disowned, borrowed my love even though it wasn't loaned
    got stoned, never phoned, still took da time to carry ya ass home

    Now it's time to come clean on where you have been?!
    not to be seen, illusive through my years as a teen...
    that's not fair, fuck you! fuck God! I don't CARE!
    there's my heart to spare, i'm not spendin life lookin to da air
    scared, wonderin if you're there... been a decade since your funeral
    Didn't shed a tear for 8 years... n i just wanted you to know.

    this had really nice content, but I think the rest of it needs tuning up...try to even out the syllables in your lines, it helps with flow, and then you can alter it later. try to throw in some more vocab in places, so it doesn't seem tooooo simplistic. the simple style is nice, but if it's too simple it takes away from what you're trying to say.
    I think maybe you could bring some sort of epiphany out of those experiances and use it as your last line so that the reader takes something away from it too.

    ^^fag.... anywyas, i thought you had some meaningful contnet, but the scheme of writin g jus didnt carry it... thats my opinion... jus couldnt seem to get it going... it was simple, but not over,,, id still add comlplexity tho, jus my style.... all in all the concept good, execution lacked.....

    breakdown:

    topic = it was cool since it was real...and god bless
    vocab = kinda on the simple side..could elevate some
    flow = easy to flow..nice...
    content = nice content..heart felt..but kinda hard to follow at times
    overall = decent drop

    keep ur head up..sorry for the loss

    peace

    this was quiet deep...some parts it was a bit off, i dunno juss sumpin bout a few lines, but altogether it was tight with good multis, good vocab, makes it a deep piece

    no matter how I falsify my shaded eyes don't slant -- didnt rhyme

    mostly tight though, stay up

    you can give me feedbakk on this if you like...blah dont bother if not... dont really mind

    she had to die will get me by...but it can't
    no matter how I falsify my shaded eyes don't slant
    ^^not sure if you missed it but "die" and "by" are internal rhyme setups for "falsify my" and certainly "can't" and "slant" rhyme...

    someone feel free to prove me wrong on this one...
