Raising My Game

DustySkidz

Wrote this before work, so it's a bit rushed

Eh, yo, It's always this,
It's always that,
My rhymes hit you hard like a baseball bat,
I've been steady on the come up,
Now I'm on the rise,
Battling fools with a rep that's twice my size
You may not have heard of me,
But I've been here for a while,
Just sittin' back relaxing,
Just perfecting my style,
Researching my subjects,
Analysing my life,
And looking for lyrics that cut deep like a knife
I write hella bars,
But most get rejected,
I get writers block,
But I don't get dejected,
It's foolish to fear what you cannot avoid,
Strife is inevitable,
I ain't gettin' annoyed
Because a life without struggle,
Is a life that's half lived,
Adversity is an asset,
It's just what I live with,
Like a chronic disease that won't go away,
Ain't nothing gone change it,
There ain't nothing to say,
And I know it's my fault,
That's why I'm taking the blame,
Obstacles that I face are just raising my game
---------------------
(Chorus)

I ain't gonna complain,
I sure ain't gonna b*tch,
My life may be hard,
But it ain't causin' a hitch,

I know that it's my fault,
That's why I'm takin' the blame,
Obstacles that I face are just raising my game,

Why should I complain?
I know life is a b*tch,
My life may be hard,
But it ain't causin' a hitch,

I admit it's my fault,
And it still stays the same,
Obstacles I face are just raising my game
---------------------

Now listen to this $$$$,
I won't tell it twice,
It's nice to be important,
But more important to be nice,
Sometimes I'm too nice,
And I get walked over,
I wanna shine like a star,
I wanna be a supernova
The struggles that I face help me reach for the stars,
Without them,
my style would be infected like SARS,
I want my rhymes to be ill,
But never like that,
Don't wanna be acting up,
Frontin',
And just being a tw*t
Like the losers who come from a privileged background,
Who wanna act hard,
They deserve to get smacked down,
Because they ain't got the passion or the heart for this $$$$,
They just stay commercial,
They want a popular hit
If it's a hit that they want,
It's a hit that they'll get,
A hit round the head with a radio set,
Cos I ain't got no respect,
For un-passionate people,
Dusty Skidz stay on point,
Stay on point like a steeple,
I'm using this rap game as an escape,
From the grief that I cause,
From the grief that I make
But still it's my fault,
I'm the source of my trouble,
But it's suiting me well,
And i'm loving the struggle

(Chorus)

HERBALT

i dont roll on street wiv no geede guns
but ill still rob u 4 ur feede funds
if u think ur comin hard son
u will get done yes u will get some
dont roll on street wiv no geede gats
but fook wiv me il break both ur knee caps
break both ur arms till ur arms snaps
give u $$$$$ slaps,beat u down with baseball bats

HERBALT

thats wat ur on about by bars enit ? theres 2 there yeah ?

DustySkidz

Yeah, that's two. You got the hang of it now.
If you ever try bumping your $$$$ to audio, then you'll be able to hear the bars and be able to count them. I started off not knowing $$$$ all about bars, but I'd listen to tunes and count the bars. Once I'd done that enough, I didn't need to count any more. I can't describe it, but you just know how many bars have gone by, so you know when the drops gonna come. It's the same for Drum and Bass and Garage.
Like I said before, you're mad productive. Keep writing and writing, and gradually you'll get better and pick up more rhymes and techniques.
Keep goin man

HERBALT

i think raising my game lyrics u did r better than ive had enuff but stillgood either way

HERBALT

raising my game lyrics are sick keep spittin

HERBALT

make me sum bread


ive had many happy years but also cried many tears
i say i fear nuffin but got so many fears
im happiest wen im wiv all of my peers,but with the life that iv got im the saddest guzzling beers

cus at the end of the day im just anotha concrete soldier
everywhere i go constantly lookin ova both shoulders
my worries are light but at the same time heavy like a boulder,im just hopin for the day wen all theses worries will b ova


im finding it hard living in the life that i live
im tryin to give somethin but ive got nothing to giv
i try to lift myself up but find in myself i got nuffin to lift,my heads like a blank spot like u cudnt believe

CHORUS

SOMETIMES I WAKE UP CLUTCHIN MY HEAD
SOMETIMES I WAKE UP WISHIN I WAS DEAD
WAKIN UP TOMMORROW IS THE WORST THING I DRED
BUT WEN I WAKE UP TOMMOROW IM GONNA MAKE ME SUM BREAD


but god put me here so im gonna fight and keep fightin
at the same time ill try ill think wats the point in fookin tryin
were all seein livin and breathin but soon well all be dyin,so then i think to myself wats the point in fookin cryin


the more i smoke weed the more i feel the worlds out to get me
i feel institutionalised,tears that i cry comin out of my eyez im alwayz wary
i live my life diluded and confused livin inmy world is $$$$in scary,my answer to this is blaze up get dazed and b merry


im livin in present day but more worried about my future
existin day to day analysing but all i find out is that there as bleak as each otha
i try sailin thru past failings but at the same time thinkin why do i bother,how can u expect me to help myself wen we dont help 1 another


CHORUS


SOMETIMES I WAKE UP CLUTCHING MY HEAD
SOMETIMES I WAKE UP WISHING I WAS DEAD
WAKING UP TOMORROW IS THE WORST THING I DRED
BUT WEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW IM GONNA MAKE ME SUM BREAD

Dusty Let Me Know Wat U Think Tried Doin Wat U Said Give Me Some Feedback Keep Spittin

DustySkidz

Yeah, I like this. It's got emotion and melancholy, it's good. I like that sort of tune, as you can probably tell from some of my posts.
I liked the vocab in it. All the syllables were spot on, and it flowed well.
My favorite bit was

“	i try sailin thru past failings but at the same time thinkin why do i bother,how can u expect me to help myself wen we dont help 1 another	”

There's good multiple rhymes in that bit, i like it.
By writing a song you pick up alot more than just battling. And when you do battle, you'll find you got more to say and you'll have better content.
You're gettin' better well quick, just keep going and cats will love your $$$$. Remember, try writing as many songs as you can, and you'll elevate quicker than a lift going up one floor, you get me?

HERBALT

While Tupac Was Out There Screamin Thug Life
I Was Seein Drug Life Wiv Nuff Strife
With No House No Kidz And No Wife
Thats Y Im Stuck To My Spliff
Cus If I Didnt Have That Id Probably Be Pissed
On Some Beer Spirits Or Some Otha Twisted $$$$
Thats All I Can Find To Contain And Maintain It
I Dont Mean To Explain It
But This Life That Im In Is Leavin Me Wasted
I Dont Even Wanna Wake Up Anymore
This Feelin Inside I Cant Take It No More
Get Rid Of Life And Close The Door,cus At Least Then I Wudnt B Wakin Up Sore
I Feel Internally Tormented Eternally Demented
I Just Resent It,for The Bad That Ive Done I Try And Find A Way To Repent It,feel Like Im On A Sentance
I Got 20 -20 Vision But Im Still Fookin Blind
Blind To The Causes That R Fookin Up My Mind
Hopin For My Sake That I Find,i Find That Special Place To Unwind

Chorus

Its Hard Living In This Life But Im Still Trying To Make It
U Cant Do Any Good In This Life Trying To Fake It
If I Get A Break Then Im Fookin Takin It


While Gods Out There Workin Miracles,im Writing Syllabuls
This Is Hardrock $$$$ 4 All U Fookin Fools,some Bedrock $$$$ For All U Synicals
You Say Ur From The Street But U Dont Play By The Rules
Youll Just Get Whacked Up Jacked Up 4 All Ur Fookin Jewells
That $$$$ Will Get U Punks Fooked Up Or Busted
U Only Giv A $$$$ Bout Wether Ur Rings, Diamond Encrusted
Cus The Worst Thing Is A Motherfooker That Cannot Be Trusted,carry On The Way Ur Goin And Ur Gonna Get Dusted
I Dont Giv A Fook Bout Ur Possesions
Cause Respect Is The Biggest Infection
So U Can Keep Buyin Ur $$$$ Addin To Ur Collection
But At The End Of The Day,id Ratha Hav Affection
Some Times I Ask Myself Where Am I Goin In My Life
Aint Got No House, No Car ,no Wife
All I Seem To Get Out Of This Life Is Strife
Mans Aint Got Their Fists Theyve Got A Knife
Thats How It Is These Days But $$$$ Thats Just Life


Chorus

Its Hard Livin In This Life But Im Still Tryin To Make It
U Cant Do Any Good In This Life Trying To Fake It
If I Get A Break Then Im Fookin Takin It

DustySkidz

Woah!, Another tune! You on speed or something!?
I'm liking what you're doing. Maybe we should collaborate sometime, and come up with a sick banging drop

HERBALT

yeah im up 4 that line for line or verse for verse respect keep spittin

HERBALT

my lifes so fooked up i feel the need to shout about it
my lifes so fooked up can any 1 help me i fookin doubt it
but if i shout and let it out ,id cause a power outage
so many mistakes i made but who the fooks counting
some times i feel like pulling my hair out
ask myself so many times wats this fookin life all about
but i know 1 thing fook with me ill put my fist in ur mouth,
followed by my boot in ur snout
my lifes been up and down like a seesaw
more now than before,this sh1t is too raw
but aint gonna stop till im 6ft, in the floor
im sick of livin this life im still searching for more
cus theres got to be more out there,i just need to find it
cant beat the life im in so ill just have to ride it
cant talk about my $$$$ so ill just have to write it
its a front i put on but to myself i cant hide it


chorus


forget about worry think about that $$$$ later
i dont wanna go thru life, bein a hater
so instead im just gonna put my pen to paper
and keep writin down data


its a fooked up world that were livin in
most motherfookers addicted to crack or heroin
theyve already lost the battle so how they gonna win
any respect or find any discipline
i aint goin down that same road takin that path
cus intelligence isnt somethin i lack ,and thats a fact
cus wen u get into that $$$$ there aint no turnin back
and if are that $$$$ ur life must b whack
i know life is a struggle 1 big hustle and bustle
cus im in the middle of it tryin to tussle, tryin to juggle
tryin to find out all the cause of my trouble
im seein double trapped in this life like im trapped in a bubble


chorus
