Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500 (Remix) - In The Shadow of The Microphone

This is a song I wrote about the pressure to be an artist who doesn't compromise because quality may not be popular at the moment.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

In the shadow of the microphone I try to get my thoughts together/ bombarded with street tales/ girls & Berettas/confusion if there ever was/ this shit is leadin me to believe that narcotics are not the only drug/ Im sittin here smackin my arm, smackin my wrist/ its my reaction to a disappointing lyric/I wanna fix it/ I wanna remedy it so quick/Im going Sonic Hedgehog speed/ Im writing so fast my Knuckles bleed/ but if my knuckles cant stand up/ and fall like a ball fumbled/then I guess Im tall with writers block thinkin dikembe mutombo/ Im livin for my NBA, national bar association/ scared like a crooked mafia concierge getting beatin in the basement for secrets he shouldnt have shared/ digital camera flow/ I spit in megapixels/ and the rhymes I put together are never the issue/ its stayin humble so my futuristic bars dont come off cocky and dismiss you/ the pen in my pocket is my version of cockin a pistol/ the rhymepad is my bulletproof vest/ the only chain I wear is the one called syllables/ my shoes are the soul I put in my lyrics/ I rhyme fearless/ I listen to all my songs until the error is apparent/ Ill never admit it/ like Jordan spoke on the holes up in his game/ you see these holes in my veins/ the bags under my eyes/ the pens disdain/lookin salty about the song I completed that I didnt like/ Im the new version of a hip hop troglodyte/ and if you cant tell I fiend for the mic/

Chorus

Verse 2:

A lyrical mission/ leads to my admission of guilt/ all the years I sat down and pumped in my ears rap filth/ I let it consume my mind and my body/ torn against myself cus I knew its the same thing Id eventually be stopping/ hating stupid rap but at my age I was yung jocking/ thinking it was cool to hear verses that contributed to the problem/ so at a certain age I sat back vexed/ I knew it would hurt but I had to sanitize my mind with germ-x/ funny as I ponder and reflect/ my first rhyme was at 14 about not liking fat chicks/ entemenns/ haggen daz/ dunkin donuts/ I was wrong/ supposed to love women but I was trained to hate women/ they only looked pretty to me if they had the right dimensions/ long hair/ pretty feet/ wit ass to spare/ had to be tight/ didnt want it loose tellin me a lot of people been there/ well aint much changed I still feel that way about the latter, yea/ but it aint about the women/ its about the boys that deliver grown girls and ass out is how they usually present em/ accompanied by money and lots of it/ then they got chromed out cars that are way outta they budget/ and its funny how they misguide ya, but hey you gotta love it.

Chorus

Verse 3:

But in the shadow of the microphone doubts dont matter/ addressing my issues with the picture like a frustrated batter/ what I see is not what I believe I demand more/ I refuse to believe this is all the talent we have in store/ I dont wanna pick from this crop I wanna see the rest/ can you not hear the fury emanating from my chest?/ I dont do this for fun or as a fuckin hobby/ write and I rewrite rhymes till I got my wrist throbbin/ my rhymebook is ugly all wrinkled up/ but whats in it is pure like Dave Chappelles purple stuff/ I can make you laugh/ I can make you cry/ I can make you sigh/ I can make you high with no additive/ I can make you touch the sky when you aint grabbin shit/ I can make you feel anything is possible/ I can make you see a positive outcome in a situation that seems improbable/ I can do all that because Im gifted/ because Im a lyricist/

You started it nice but you fall off a bit with your flow and your lyrics keep trying though you can only get ill. Also Ghostface, Raekwon and Capa killed this shit alrdy so you have a lot to live up to on this beat.

[RiGolettoMicFiend]

I thank you for taking time to view & comment. I did not fall off with my flow tho. Let's be clear as well, I don't live up to ANY expectations. I know full well they did well on this track & so did I. It doesn't matter who went in on a beat b4 me. Nobody does it like me! Check out my other songs too!

[SpraxIAKS]

All I have to say is you need better sound quality. Maybe a better microphone? Or something so it can be more clear.

[RiGolettoMicFiend]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be getting a mic shortly!
