Subject: spiritual help Some people visit their pastor. Some people sit in quiet reflection. Some people escape to their personal oasis of solitude. For my spiritual help, I just LOG ON Y'ALL. GMAIL.COM FOR ALL YOUR SPIRITUAL NEEDS IT'S FREE TELL A FRIEND. Are you finding it difficult finding the right solutions to all your problems? Oh my gosh YES! It's like you are reading my mind and there's no way you could have known that. Yesterday, for example, I had two problems: 1) an inescapable, deep-seeded, fearful and sudden realization of my own mortality and 2) Twitter wasn't working. I tried to solve both of these problems by drinking a 12-pack of Schlitz at my desk at work but it only solved the Twitter problem. But then I posted drunk tweets and now I have more problems and also I got fired. you don't need to hide your problem because if you do, you will never find the solution to it. That is literally the most profound thing I have ever read in my en...

VERSE 3 For VERSE 1 explained, see here . For VERSE 2 explained, see here . Take heed, cause I’m a lyrical poet Take heed, ye’ merry gentlemen. For I am a lyrical poet. I do not use other mediums for my poetry, such as paint, or steel, or birds, or whatever. I use words, or, in my case as it pertains to hip-hop specifically, lyrics. For example, earlier when I rhymed “bikinis” with “Lamborghinis,” that is what we in the literary field call: poetry. Miami’s on the scene just in case you didn’t know it Miami is on the hip-hop scene, thanks in large part to me, Vanilla Ice. I have made Miami proud. My town, that created all the bass sound As Wikipedia can attest: "Miami bass (also known as booty music or booty bass, a term that may also include other genres, such as dirty rap), is a type of hip hop music that became popular in the 1980s and 1990s." You can have your emotionally charged blues, Memphis -– I’ll take my booty bass and sexually perverse rap, thank you very much! Enou...

VERSE 2 For VERSE 1 explained, see here . Now that the party is jumping We are at a party now. And get ready because I am going to tell you what is about to happen because we are at a party that is jumping. With the bass kicked in, the vegas are pumping “Vegas” are speakers. They are pumping because the bass has kicked in. Also, as I had previously mentioned, the party we are at is jumping, in large part due to the fact that the speakers are pumping. Now get ready for what is about to happen as a result of these indisputable facts. Quick to the point, to the point no fakin’ Okay, so nothing happened. But let’s move past that, because I would like to inform you of something: When I make a point, I am quick about it. I am to the point about making a point. Also, you can rest assured that I will not fake any point that I am trying to make, as that would defeat the purpose of the quickness with which I made said point. That’s the whole point. I’m cooking MCs like a pound of bacon If I am f...

VERSE 1 All right stop, collaborate and listen Everybody stop what you’re doing. Then find a partner and work on a project together that has yet to be determined. Then listen to me. Ice is back This is my first single. With a brand new invention This invention is called “horrible rap.” Take that, Benjamin Franklin. To the rest of you: you’re welcome. Something grabs a hold of me tightly Songs such as this one are not entirely my doing, but partly the result of an otherwordly force that urges me to rap about stuff. Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly The manner in which I rap “flows” similar to the flow of a harpoon, which is, according to Wikipedia , “a long spear like instrument used in fishing to catch fish or other large marine mammals such as whales.” I flow like this everyday. And also every night, which is different from the day. I do not sleep. Will it ever stop? Yo, I don’t know Sometimes I will ask myself a question and then immediately and condescendi...
