So I was in the Hip Hop forum and noticed they had a sticky there about flows. It's a pretty tight word game, so I thought I'd bring it here. Thunder Foot This is a freestyle thread on a positve tip. A place where creative minds can collaborate and be appreciated for their lyrical depth. A place where creative lyricism falls on appreciative ears . But first, let's lay down some rules. The Rules:
1. No plagerism
2. No swear words. True lyricists can feel me on this.
3. No hatin/dissin on other Emcees. Only constructive critiques.
4. No battles. This isn't a battle thread.
5. No raps about guns and Gangsta style, it's played out.
6. Props are allowed, but no dickridingFreestyle Specifics:
1. All textstyles should have atleast one bar (4lines) flowing off the previous textstyle posted.
2. Minimum posts of 1bar / Maximum 10bars
3. If you want to comment, do it AFTER your 1bar. We have to keep the cypher flowing.
Let's have a positive freestyle vibe in here. So that's how it goes. And for those who, for whatever reason don't like rap, don't think of this as a game of rap, think of it as poetry (which is exactly what rap is. Rhythm and Poetry) We're all writers in this guild. Think of this as a way to get your muse on.

((And I'll just start it off.))
Cannons to the left,
Cannons to the right,
Cannons in front,
Volley an' thunda.
I am Ares, the black god of war,
Ya'll listen up, an' try to keep score.
Life is war and war is hell.
Think of it as a prisoner's cell.
Surrounded on all sides,
With nowhere to hide,
You're trapped on a battlefield.
Who is friend, and who is foe?
Cannons to the left,
Cannons to the right,
Cannons in front,
Volley an' thunda.
((Now in the next post, someone should throw a verse at my last line.))

Volley an' thunda
Makes you wonda
'bout all the lives and hopes
that I burned asunder
You were wishin you were me
I am one fightin three
Sin, love, and trust
I'm the newest Gandhi
Wavin and flarin
watchin and staring
I'm the greatest Warrior yet
'cause I throw no glaring
I'm the peace, your the pain
I'm the hope, your the vain
If I never progress
There is never a gain
Kick it up a knotch
'cause I'm blowin the fuse
My life is sacred
Not yours to choose
Dare might with me
And I'll throw you down
Try it if you can
I'm the best in town!
((that felt good....))

I'm the best in town.
Now, don't make a sound.
Cuz if I hear you around,
It's goin' down.
Goin' down?
Let's take it up.
You know about me.
And that's what's up.
Listen to me.
I'm a man of the past.
I've left my legacy,
In a golden vas.
There's a spiral of time,
Past, present, future.
You're the future,
Now check this rhyme.
Time does what time does.
It flows,
It goes,
and repeats.
An unstoppable force,
River,
Power,
Never sleeps.
The time has come for you to take up the mantle.
I won't be around forever, this is for you to handle.
So progress, conquer, withstand the test.
Overcome, overpower, drive through the rest.
You're the future.
That's all I've got to say.
The world of tomorrow started yesterday.

The world of tomorrow started yesterday
Never thought that life could just act this way
Thrown astray, in dismay, reality
something that forces me just to pray
I always lose my head
cause it's in the clouds
I'm always hating life
Cause my thoughts are crowds
Swarming my head with all these nasty things
Telling me to die, it just counts the rings
It just sings, it just brings, discovery
Another way to grow my wings
There's never good times
When there's nothing to lose
There's never bad times
If you have to choose
You never lose, cut the fuse
Destroy all the clues
All that's left for me
is just hopes and dreams
Listen to your heart
Cause it always screams
((I hope it doesn't end up just being us two...))

Cause it always screams
Crying to be let loose
There's no where to hide
Your neck caught in the noose
With no place left to run
No place left to hide
I'm out in the open
No one left at my side
We're left all alone now
It's just you and me
But you still have to choose
A path that may not be free
The choice is not easy
But it's yours to make
Remember that you're not alone
Just try not to flake
It's all up to you now
And yet it is not
Take care of yourself
And this worthless lot
Don't laugh at me now
This isn't a joke
A fire's started burning
Now follow the smoke
The building's aflame now
The sky's set ablaze
Keep your head on your shoulders
Don't follow the craze
{That wasn't very good...
No laughing at me! D:}

Don't follow the craze
Stay a step above the rest
Fools like you I most certainly detest
Come on dawg, just always give your best.
Don't run with the crowd
Follow your own beat
Keep it hood, keep it street
I know life ain't easy.
Now don't go off misinterpretin' what I say
No, I didn't say repel nor did I say rebel.
Life's got rules that still gotta be followed
Best you keep up wit 'em so you'll live to see tomorrow.
Adhere to the guideline,
You know what's right.
Right is right and wrong is wrong.
That's it you know, keep it, keep it tight.

That's it you know, keep it, keep it tight,
The knot needs to be strong,
Or escaping, fleeing they might,
Without paying for all their wrong.
Pull that rope, pull that string,
So they'll move like puppets,
You can make them scream and sing,
That way they'll become your pets.
They lost their humanity,
When they took innocent lives,
Now is no time for pity,
You are the Queen of the hive.
What did you just say?
You refuse that power?
I lived to see that day,
When you become stronger.
((I know it's lame...but oh well...that's a first time... ))

When you become stronger
In battle it's good,you last longer.
My name is Nightmare
I'm known to scare
I got demon eyes and crimson hair
I kill armies all on my own so come get me if you dare.
The weapon I carry,Soul Edge
It's bigger than the biggest fledge.
Darkness come unto me
Blood thicken in the sea.
Hey I'm on a roll
Do me a favor and hand over your soul!!!

Do me a favor and hand over you soul,
Let your blood flow,
Let your heart bleed,
Let your life leak.
Then I shall part,
I shall disapear,
I shall make one with the void,
I shall surrender myself to the nil.
Do not cry,
Do not regret,
Do not have remorse,
Simply die.

Simply die
Breathe your last breath
Eat your last meal
Feel the cold of death
Pray one final time
Light fades from your eyes
The darkness ctahces your soul
The soul struggles, or tries
Damnation waits
Now wanting redmeption, the light will refuse
The soul is lost forever
You had your whole life to choose

You had your whole life to chose.
All this talk about death an’ murder’s ‘bout ta blow up a fuse.
It was started on the wrong foot.
Listenin’ ta you, I’d rather be buried under soot.
Turn on the light
Start day an’ leave night
We don’t need another fight
Get the game an’ set it right
Dang I need a beat
Free flowin’ without, I’m soldier without a gun,
Anotha poser in the street
I’m bakin’ under the hot sun
Let’s keep it real for the sake of simple sanity
Another dead joke is a crime to humanity
Lyrical commissions on top of superstitions leave the old man a wonderin’,
Is the game made to play, or is the playa left blunderin’
Or is it a form of all hype an’ no flow?
Hot air ready to blow?
I saw your last line of rhyme
Sleepin’ ten feet under snow
Now for a subject change
What’s goin’ on in the world?
Kanye’s outburst?
Or anotha dead girl?
Dead girl? Morbid lyrics, is that what this has come to?
Can we escape?
Is it too late?
Whatever, back to you.

Whatever, back to you.
Is that all you have to say?
I just work with what I'm givin'
Too bad it doesn't pay.
Changing the topic in a flash
The morbid scene now gone away
The little blue bird calls
Begging you to stay
It's wings are all a flutter,
Stray feathers are floating down.
Perching on a child's shoulder,
It lights the eyes, erasing the frown.
Tender happiness is a child's smile
The joy like sweet flight through the skies
Even in deams, it's still wonderful
The tranquility breathes relaxing sighs

The tranquility breathes relaxing sighs
While a child slowly dies
The world is fake
Filled with griefe and sorrow's take
Yet here I am
The one hidden
Behind the white plaster of a thousand lies
Watching the world burn while the children cry
A sea of faces washes by
The river flows forever
The waters never cease
Yet once again here am I
Hidden behind the red tear stained mask
My face shows no lies
The world can see nothing of me
While I watch it burn and die

While I watch it burn and die
The body shivering out of fear
I show no remorse or cry
My face unable to shed a tear
Death is now awake wanting his soul
But this fool’s fate is left to Davey Jones
To the deep sea trench till time is old
This spirit’s cover is sea, his bed stones
Then the next I shall freeze till their bones crack
The future is certain mate
No escaping for you or Sparrow Jack
Calypso is your next date
I am the locker’s keeper
Holder of the kraken is my fame
I, the seven sea’s reaper,
Will let you wonder this monster’s name
