    this land was made for?

    through my bloodshot eyes i envision a place
    where with precision we make another decision than hate
    this incision that aches is inflamed by the derision of snakes
    it's united we stand, yet still the division is great
    & so down we fall, our thesis burns another week
    prayed for a miracle & saw jesus turn the other cheek
    wanted to kick & yell, but couldn't even learn to mutter squeaks
    we're all on this ship to hell, i believe the stern.. its rudder's tweaked
    i'ma milk the cow for what it's worth, you need to churn the butter freak
    the redwood forest is petrified & the gulf stream in turn, a cluttered creek
    see, i've heard the gutter leak, it filled my mind with vile thoughts
    you claim to hear freedom ring, but we're all confined by styles taught
    so when i'm near & people sing, i'm really inclined to smile... not
    when i feel fear am i a g? nah, cuz i'm designed to cry a lot
    rewind for miles doc, hopefully find the roots of disease
    except i probably can't trust you, i don't know who to believe
    i stay hidden from society, some of us grab the noose when we grieve
    & i still salute you indeed, i just take a different route when i bleed
    i'm clueless to creed, religion's all the same.. they're all vyin for wealth
    i'm living to send this message to you, i'm actually dyin to tell
    i'm trying to help those who are tired, well i'm tired of trying to help
    & it's ironic how "the truth will set you free" is a lie in itself
    so this land was made for you & me? that right there is a funny rap
    cuz i bought into this life....... & now i want my money back

    Mad nice man, flow and multies were crazy so i was really feeling it.
    The story was consistent which always helps a piece like this most people lose the story half way but you kept it going. The imagery was sick the last 2 bars were my favourites along with the jesus and the grab the noose when we grieve line. It was real nice, flow, imagery, vocab, wordplay were all on point i couldnt hate on nothing.

    Nice piece man. Alotta real shit in there, flow was never off, and nothing really seemed pushed. I really felt the goverment statements and such, U worded them nicely. U could have made some good multies, that would of definitly helped. But other than that - perfect.

    The piece started off strong with vocab and a nice rhyme scheme. They both made the piece interesting and worth reading. Your concepts were nice too. This line is one that stood out to me
    you claim to hear freedom ring, but we're all confined by styles taught
    The lines were long, but the rhyming kept it going smooth. The concepts for the closer and the turn the other cheek were both highlights, as other people also have been noting. Nice piece.

    Nice ass drop...I was really feeling this piece...Flow was good and although some lines were stretched a little, it stayed on point...You had a nice use of multis in there too...Vocab was good...Content was good as well...There was a lot of nice imagery in there and you had quite a few stand out lines...I could really feel what you were saying and I liked the way you were getting your message across...Nice drop, keep it up...If you want to return the favor and leave some feedback check out either of the links in my sig...Thanks

    d0pe drop Lay, those writing classes helped..

    vocabulary is nice, the rhymes scheme is like whoa!, the main idea of the piece is interesting, and you stuck to it all the way through

    so this land was made for you & me? that right there is a funny rap
    cuz i bought into this life....... & now i want my money back

    & so down we fall, our thesis burns another week
    prayed for a miracle & saw jesus turn the other cheek

    we're all on this ship to hell, i believe the stern.. its rudder's tweaked
    i'ma milk the cow for what it's worth, you need to churn the butter freak


    and finally

    i stay hidden from society, some of us grab the noose when we grieve
    & i still salute you indeed, i just take a different route when i bleed
    i'm clueless to creed, religion's all the same.. they're all vyin for wealth
    i'm living to send this message to you, i'm actually dyin to tell
    i'm trying to help those who are tired, well i'm tired of trying to help
    & it's ironic how "the truth will set you free" is a lie in itself

    couldn't find much negative shit on this...

    overall 9.9/10 worth a slot on the Legends for this month..

    I don't know why, but this reminds me of some Aesop shit. but anyways, this was a very good piece. The rhyme scheme was top notch and there was some really good imagery here. The flow kinda ran a little long in the bars, but that was the sole issue with me. Other than that, I liked this one a lot.
