    i've been standing here, prayin and hopin
    while my emotions are blazin and open
    enslavements a notion, do you get the caption?
    the individual associated with his faction

    i clasp my hands,
    as the sun continues to laugh and dance
    walking im passing plants that grow mutations
    where the presidents chose are faceless
    slow the hatred and spread disease and famine
    jesus? damn him, keep the feet of people stampin
    celebrate the great, despise the proud
    disguise the lies allowed, as we date our fate
    tripping the wire that she perspires in the day
    not willing to face the coyote ugly that we make
    lose inches in the waist
    gain some in the other place
    change your face so everybody's the same
    remember to always raise your aim
    but when you're 25, get real and settle down
    talk of the pot calling the kettle brown
    that's politically incorrect discussion though
    save the five dollars and get a loveless ho
    fuck child support, make em work and earn it
    besides what's their eventual purpose?
    revert to the changing past, misplace the facts
    so we have a true reason to invade Iraq
    keep the masses daze in tact
    wet cement makes our forever concrete fear
    so u can collect interest..once u lend me ur ears
    who would want to be defending the queers
    they have no rights, just like the blacks did for years
    taking action is weird,
    why should i show love for you?
    stand up for what i believe?,
    sitting is much more comfortable
    so we watch the unjust actions
    so we take the beating, becomin passive
    so we let our past be trapped in dirt
    so we burn the facists work
    so we kill the Earth
    millions first, now billions hurt
    i'm the paradox of humanity
    bombs won't damage me
    i'll never vanish, see?
    i dwell in the land and sea
    does god love you?
    what are u wonderin for?
    you're that 5 dollar loveless whore

    I've written about God, the devil, and all of life's questions
    about the ground we trod, desheveled, comtemplating confessions
    it's been temptin, but theres always a single thought I left out
    not of redemption; where life mingles thats not what it's about
    the scream or the shout? raised voices cannot help you to see
    light beams all about; Do my choices affect the way God loves me?
    Of course! The remorse had overwhelmed my joyous nightmare
    now a source of doubt; wheres heaven? can I get a flight there?
    the sights rare, like that of your third eye on the paranormal
    and fight shares, because the word I live by isn't semi formal
    but the dress code is, for all the stress loaded kids tonight
    & the less gold's worth, might save the planet Earth from fright
    He gives commandments, ten, demanding that we all live by them
    No, I can't stand it! this religion is a plant without a stem
    and what are morals? when death encompasses the world we're in
    I live in the western hemisphere....does that save me from sin?
    how am I going to win?he's almightey, and lacking human emotion
    or so I've been told, the man's bold, with power to drain oceans
    so we come to the stained quotient; spirituality we must rise above
    when you get down to the bone of it, How Can Omnipotence Love?

    Hmm..
    Deep drops from both. I personally liked Status Quo. His had better vocab.. Kept it short and sweet. Flowed together immensely. While Maven on the other hand also had a deep verse.. But flow was off at points. Although it had a great meaning to what he told.. Maven just came more forced and less deep. Overall I would say Status Quo took this. Good battle.

    Vote: Status Quo

    status, man your verse had sooo many quotables, so many well written ironic lines, flow was dope and always interesting....only thing that lacked was the content a bit, a few parts it was blurry, u sacrificed content for flow, but thats not bad

    maven had a bit better content, but his lyricism and charisma was no where near status's....just plain not as entertaining of a read...

    good battle

    Both Verses Were Very Well Written, Quo Had Some Good Flow.
    And Some Nice Lines, But I Found Myself Being Bored At Times.
    Maven Had A Good Structure, And The Vocab Covered Like a Blanket. And Maven Put The Topic Out In A Better Sense To Me.
    I Enjoyed Mavens Verse Due To The Content And Quality.
    Vote: Maven

    This wasn't a bad battle .. maven had the edge with the content in his verse, he tried hard to grasp at making it deep but i didnt feel he pulled off the writers voice effectively enough here. It's like he wanted to give some real depth to his piece, and he came off decent but he didnt have that extra something needed to really bring it home. I think the length of it was its drawback actually, you didnt give yourself the room needfed to expand on it fully and capitalise, none the less, a good verse. I liked.

    Status ..
    .. smooth flow to this piece, rolled off the tongue nicely as i read it. Nice transition's used in this .. kept the pace nicely, good content

    I only wanted to quote the first four, but the six were all connected and run into each other .. lol .. It was a nice match up, maven did well. He didnt have enough to take from stat's presence and writers voice here though.

    nice verse though Jax = )

    Status- dope flow...the emotion was great... imagry n all was on point... this was a good strong piece... obviously got some talent

    Maven- came good like most of the time... imagry was at a strong point... you seemed 2 pack in some emotion.. but i wasn't feelin it for some reason.. flowed ok...i don't htink i've come to like that type of structure yet... but overall good drop

    hmmmmm.....close but not close.........solid verses......mavens a lil short but good content...........tha breakdown:

    Status Quo: rhyme scheme- 8, flow- 8, story- 7.5, total= 23.5

    tha flow won it for you, your bars kept gettin shorter and shorter........stay consistent

    Maven: rhyme scheme- 7.5, flow- 7, story- 8.5, total= 23

    good content.....but wasnt enough........status edged it

    no hard feelins, may tha best man win, stay real, peace, 1

    very nice to both of you . maven, you made it really hard to vote on this
    because you posted an extraordinary verse. but the thing is, upon reading
    status quo's i kind of fell in love with it, that was some of the coolest writing
    i have ever seen . the entire thing was like .. the meaning of life to say
    shit was sick .. good job though maven ..

    v. status quo

    status,not bad, i was really feeling your iamgery more than mavens. maven's seemed a little more topical while yours seemed really storytellinga nd had some deep meanings. maven most def had the writer's voice edge, but i think that status just had a more appealing verse and a stronger use of vocabulary.
