Well, this was actually done pretty close to a month ago. Originally, InGenius (the guy who made the beat) wanted to master this one. Unfortunately, I still get a lot of static while recording (hoping to fix that soon), so, it drove him insane. We eventually found him in boston dumping tea into the inlet...

Back on topic though, I took this, did what I could with the static (not very much, but what I could) and uploaded as is.

My untimed eruption,
Sets my eyes reluctance,
To cry over my mind's destruction
To bear witness to where witless victims
Are scared shitless, sick of shifted systems
The misfits, with the sifted gifted
All feel the rift split the society we've lifted
There's no time, I hold mine, you hold yours
until the forced roar ricochets in a chorus
See for us, there's no victory that tore us
I'm the champ, as I ramp up for more this
And thus, the cycle of destruction lives
1 moment, is what, a brief interruption gives
Then the shiv, from nowhere comes out at last
We're all sieved, but none forgive in that gasp
In that second before, we fall to the floor
And either meet our maker or rot as a corpse

Because this is our penance
It's the price we pay
It's our death sentence
That we carry day to day
And there's no way, to escape, this predetermined fate
This is our penance
This is the price we pay
Because this is our penance
It's the price we pay
It's our death sentence
That we carry day to day
And there's no way, to escape, this predetermined fate
This is our penance
This is the price we pay

Talks have given me
Thoughts that vividly
Shock, as I lividly walk
and stalk, the crock that's rippin me off
We don't stop, to ponder the clock
We're locked, ravaging as we're savagely cocked
We must thrive, even if other fuckers don't survive
Screw an eye for an eye, those who slight us must die
And try as I might, I can't find my way out
Of this plight, trapped, so I stay in doubt
I'd never trust myself in this time and place,
If I wasn't controlled by lust, and violent hate
They're my voice, and as I look around I see
A void, because love spreads HIV
The people panic until our hearts go cold
Like sheep, frantic, we depart, to do what we're told
Scold those who don't trample the weak
And leave our own brothers out on the streets

Because this is our penance
It's the price we pay
It's our death sentence
That we carry day to day
And there's no way, to escape, this predetermined fate
This is our penance
This is the price we pay
Because this is our penance
It's the price we pay
It's our death sentence
That we carry day to day
And there's no way, to escape, this predetermined fate
This is our penance
This is the price we pay

We administer lines
In the sinister times
Finished the crimes and committed the minds
That told us, we would behold this beautiful world
But it's coldest when we watch these cubicles curl
In on us, as the rest of the world caves
Hope of justice stumbles, then crumbles right away
People play their own family to try to be bad
To impress that lady who's scantily clad
I never had, a reason to be introverted
After the weakness that my soul blurted
Inverted my insides for the world to behold
Now I must take strides to try to be bold
Try to unite, as we divide in fractions
This war action between factions
And as I look in the deep recesses of our psyche
I find peace successes not very likely.

Because this is our penance
It's the price we pay
It's our death sentence
That we carry day to day
And there's no way, to escape, this predetermined fate
This is our penance
This is the price we pay
Because this is our penance
It's the price we pay
It's our death sentence
That we carry day to day
And there's no way, to escape, this predetermined fate
This is our penance
This is the price we pay

Man, harshness...

He doesn't like my instruments because they make him feel like less of a man. We all know his hatred for pianos is legendary!

Serious, good pacing on your flow, but I told you as much when you first showed it to me. And if it were recorded on a clear mic, this would be a definite huge track for you. Your style fit the beat perfectly, good layout of the vocals. Good job and keep it up. When you get a new mic, I'd be more than happy to show you how to mix your vocals and get that clean, pro sound.

Peace

Blasphem-E responds:

And Ingenius fires back! WHAT CAN HAPPEN NEXT?! STAY TUNED FOLKS!

haha. Thanks for the words man. And I don't know if I need a new mic. I figure I just need an adapter to run this through a mixer rather than straight to the laptop. But, we shall see. And I'll definitely take you up on the offer.

Hmm...

The vocals are on point, but you have the same problem I have with many of my songs... Just sound so pissed off, lol. The beat itself has great compistion, I just don't like the actual instruments used. (YEAH, YOU READ IT RIGHT IG!!)

But yeah, overall, I give it a 9 :3

Blasphem-E responds:

O SNAPS! SPAWN JUST SAID SOME SHIT TO IG! PASS IT AROUND!!! lol. Thanks for the review man, ya, I feel ya on the angry thing. It's hard to be loud and full volme and not sound angry

Real.

Nice man, the lyrics are very deep and passionate. The fuzz is kind of a set back, but its not that noticable. I'm really digging the chorus, this is our planet. peace yo, this is a real hip hop submission.

Blasphem-E responds:

Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it

Much better

Your lyrics have always been your strong point and it looks like the practice is finally paying off for you because your flow is so much better so no all that's left is for you to get a better mic.

Blasphem-E responds:

All right. Thanks for the look out and the words of encouragement along the way Dex. as for the mic, I'm planning on getting some adapters to send my mix through my mixer. Should be better quality then

wow :D

I usually don't listen to hiphop, I used to listen to it alot some years ago, but my interest for trance just made me stop listening to hiphop.

Anyhow, awesome track, I guess I need to spend more time in the hiphop sections :D
The lyrics are catchy, and the rhymes and beat mix well together. No idea what "penance" means though.
The lenght of the track is perfect, and I love the piano. The drum beat is amazing too.

9/10
5/5
+fav :D

Keep it up Mike!

Blasphem-E responds:

Thanks for the review man. Glad you enjoyed it!
