Yo what's up, this is my entry to the "So you think you can rap" contest hosted by Prince Ea and Mike Kalombo. This contest is initially based on "likes" so if you like this, please push that thumbs up button, I appreciate it. I know that I'm kinda late with my entry but we'll get it in hopefully.

Shout out to all the dope cats I've already heard in this contest.

Lyrics:
I delve deeper than your average jo,
Im damagin flows and pass em at the back of the road,
With half of my goals they'll never stand a chance in my zone,
So I just elevate and let them taste the back of my soles
But that's the half of it these rappers aint practicing,
Actually, what they been lackin is the fact that I'm the truth,
And they the fallacy, I dabble in my sanity capturing my vocabulary
stuck inside a booth, from the first day in January
so leave it to me, the patience is leakin through me,
I wake up with several haters that never seem to get to me
If you signed for the movement, you're about to get the movie,
I'm like progress up in Washington, they never try to move me,
for all you goonies, I aint a fan of the government,
I wanted change too, but makin dollars put me under it,
My student loans been pilin up and added to my urgency,
So currently my knowledge is my only form of currency,
I saw my future in the stars up in the sky,
I lift my hands up to Andromeda and fell on Gemini,
But never mind I light you up, and let the fans connect the lines,
And maybe then you'll see the constant constellation in my mind
See it's the reason that I rhyme, let the pawn take some refuge,
I killed what made us even, and left the odds stacked against you
Rappers say the truth, I don't see it, Stevie wonder,
Im curin anorexia, they bout to feel my hunger
And I'm under -- rated, when they flippin through the pages,
Unappreciated from the spots they put my face in,
With all the thoughts im facin' I spent nights deliberating,
Thoughts my rhymes would build my savins, instead I tasted all the pavement,
That's the soul inside my vocal cords, I never stopped believing,
Even when I couldn't score, I got my ass up out the deep end,
It's the fact that im still breathing, that saves me from all my demons,
Cuz I've been inside of hell, and I left that shit freezing,
Man I aint another lawyer but I pass judgment easily,
On past judgements eating me, I fast forward frequently,
It's the last moment seeing me, that path full of decency,
That cash flow impeding me, I passed under frequency,
And made it to the vast open scenery, that last hope of feeling me,
That glass full of class sworn in secrecy,
For the cats that believe in me, the facts always deep in me,
I'm evolution's enemy, cuz I last in my identity
I never change for record sales and fast ways of selling me
So pack up your suitcases, I bask in my integrity
I laugh at what appeases me and crack open epiphanies,
The name is you I am, but that's the last thing you need of me, Im out.
