I wrote this rap today over 11 sticky notes while my students were testing. Been listening to Kanye’s AMAZING newest album a lot lately, as well as the Drake songs that come up on my Kid Cudi Pandora station, and most recently, over the past couple days, Childish Gambino’s FREAKS AND GEEKS video on Vimeo. So that’s my musical inspiration. Oh and I guess I’m copying Weezy too with these puns.
I’m in a death race– no winners– comin’ round the track
I’m in a neck brace– no mirrors– I ain’t lookin’ back
Because you know that I was chosen, nothin’ matters anymore
I see the finish line CLEARLY, taste the win, hear monsters roar
Feel the heat on my back, smell the beast’s hot breath
But I’m Buffy– vampire slayin’– roaring louder, make ‘em deaf
There ain’t no Edward/Jacob here, everybody’s TEAM REID
Living in these different worlds– Elliot, E.T.
I don’t wanna be different, I just know that I am
Stupid risks- should be home- but I think I’m Priam.
Walking enemy camps for the thrill, not for honor
Actin’ reckless in this war. Not a king, HURT LOCKER.
Yeah I want a son too, I wanna live this life
I want a daughter- make it two- and I guess I want a wife
But that’s all too far, that’s the future– John Connor
Until then I’m Terminating, ‘ready know that I’m a goner.
[reid]
Aaaand I wrote this verse yesterday morning, based on the Science Formula Chart (i.e. the only thing I was allowed to look at/read for HOURS). Oh, and I forgot to mention B.o.B. in my musical inspirations last time.
Call me the lower case c cuz I’m the SPEED OF LIGHT
Power’s work over time except with me ALRIGHT?
I’m moving faster than y’all, around the world OVERNIGHT
That’s high SPEED
energy:
potentially +
kinectically=
infinity.
anomaly!
because I’m free
you can’t see me
I’m on that string theory
Here and there and out of sight.
WHAT IS THIS WHY DO I JUST NOW KNOW THIS EXISTS
