Rap Spherical


I went through a rap phase a couple years ago. The Christian hip-hop forum Sphere of Hip-Hop inspired and motivated me to write a rap myself.

Here it is:

Philosophies and ideologies circle round, "spherical"/ been recycled 2,000 years, threadbare, our rhetoric simply rhetorical.   

Purely analytical, logical seeking evidence from periodicals, all else deemed magical/ Skeptical, cynical, while gazing eyes on the freeing scars, slightly mystical.

Generation to generation the lies multiply, no longer practical, but lifeless liturgical/ Spiritual pride blinds eyes to practices that are borderline comical/Flattered as the big, black crow, the cheese...satirical.

Cock crows three times, yet you deny the one you've seen eye-to-eye/ smells political, like Good Ole King Cole before his pie/ as he slices it open and the crows cry.

Proverbial camel through the needle's eye, Rich Young Ruler like the typical American guy/ Refused to give his all to keep his piece of the pie.



I still admire those that can expertly mix rhythm and rhyme with references to pop culture.
