Act Like You Know

[Buddah MAC]

needle in the groove liquefies surrounding oxygen
fuel for mind’s skyside ride as I breathe in
deeply, drowning the day away
submerged in pure urge to do what I may
to celebrate another spin escaping decay
the mundane that granted takes anyway
and find the wonder in it, man designed limits
I’ve come to demolish and let nature course in it
timid can’t lie behind lids of life changers
living through a wrong war and the absent anger
scares the living hell out of me
so the living hell’s the world and I can’t see
any escape outside the introversion
but extend that heaven out and the conversion
leaves the world balanced and me protected
as I escaped the dialectic, **** can get hectic
elected it’s time our reps get rejected
as what I represent isn’t reflected
by any holding office, can’t even respect it
enough to seek it for self, so long infected
no cure can reverse the damage done
might dream an answer if I can manage one
been on some ‘**** a dream’ **** lately
as in I don’t live the dream, I give the dream babies
seen maybes grow into actualities
flip their stem cells to murder maladies
can it be it’s all so simple still
skies shudder before the force of focused will
spilled into dry lakes of passion and see
Earth gets what she needs, springs the ecology
mercy, mercy me, my shattered soul cutting deep
each sliver delivers insight on the unique
multi-faceted verbal acid trip
out to alter visions til the casket fit

I like the wordplay man...jus sick! I think I like it so much because I'm more of a simplistic rapper so when I hear crazy metaphors and bars you can't guess, im feeling it.I'll only get better with time though. Nice Drop man. UP THIS SH!T!!!!

Definitely my favorite segment. As always, mac... good writing. You're flow is always on point, and while i'm not sure you picked a specific direction before you started writing, but the passion on what you were thinking about is always clearly reflected in your writing.... I think if anything, i'd like to see you pick a specific idea to run with, and then just hammer away at it through the whole piece. not because i don't think you can do it, but more because i think it would be really enjoyable to see a good writer focusing down, just sharp.... you know?

i think it would be good for some of the younger writers on this site....

if you get the chance, check out this piece, alot of new writers on it... but i feel like an older more experienced guy like yourself would be able to give some solid feedback/critiques for them.... so if you get the chance.
