So, this contest has helped me write half an album in a month and that is ok by me. Just having some fun and loving the other great stuff that has been written. You folks are killing it!!!

I found out something about myself during this journey: I actually love Hip Hop man. It is fun! It fact, it is mad fun just to keep it real and bust a rhyme. Now I get it. I finally see the light. I am a changed man. I may even do a Hip Hop album.

MY GOD IS NOT FOR SALE
By David Snyder

Intro:

This word is the truth
This word is the truth
This word is the truth
This word is the truth

V1

This word is the truth
My God is inside of me
If I took him from your mind
I would not be free
Everybody wants my money
they’re not posting my bail
Not spending my life
In imaginary jail
Everybody wants my money
they’re not posting my bail
I’m not spending my life
In imaginary jail
My God is not sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not for Sale

CH

I have six words
That guide my every step
My God is not for sale
You didn’t post my bail
I won’t be in your debt
So don’t forget
My God is not for sale
I won’t be in your debt
And My God is not for sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not for sale
You didn’t post my bail
And my God is not for sale
My God is not for sale

V2

When I was five years old
I took a walk into the woods
I talked to God all day
And I tell you it was good
My God was perfect
My God was real
Now my God is something
Everybody wants to steal
But I’m not afraid
Of imaginary hell
Cause my God is my truth
And my God is my shield
And my God is not for sale
My God is not for sale

CH

I have six words
That guide my every step
My God is not for sale
You didn’t post my bail
I’m won’t be in your debt
So don’t forget
My God is not for sale
I won’t be in your debt
And my God is not for sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not for Sale
You didn’t post my bail
And my God is not for sale
My God is not for sale

V3

Everybody wanna to tell me
Everything I should believe
Everybody wanna to tell me
Everything I should do
If I’m not buying what they’re selling
Then I must not know the truth
But I have seen through all the jokes
And I have seen behind the veil
This is what I have to say
My God is not for sale
You didn’t make my bail
You didn’t make my bail
I won’t spend my life in imaginary jail
My God is not for sale

CH

I have six words
That guide my every step
My God is not for sale
You didn’t post my bail
I won’t spend my life
In imaginary jail
Or imaginary hell
Your imaginary hell
You’re not the person
Who made my bail
So I won’t be in your debt
My God is not for sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not for sale

V4

This word is the truth
My God is inside of me
If I took him from your mind
I would not be free
Everybody wants my money
they’re not posting my bail
Not spending my life
In imaginary jail
Everybody wants my money
they’re not posting my Bail
I’m Not spending my life
In imaginary hell
In imaginary jail
My God is not sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not sale
My God is not for sale
My God is not sale
My God is not for sale

I clearly see the Weird Al Yankovic influence there..."This Song Is Just Six Words Long".

I take my hat off to you, there is nothing you wont try , am I right ?.


you have tried a lot of different styles/genres, I do respect that because I cant do that.

But this is not about me, I hate this style of music, but I do know you done this style of music brilliantly.. why.. because I hate it.


You never cease to surprise/amaze.

Good on you.

Thanks Beat!

Any Real Hip Hop Artist would take that as a huge compliment!!

ha ha ha!

Thanks homie!!

John,

Well as you know, Weird Al IS my mentor!!

interesting submission because there is another Bander using the _REVNANT.STY in this years 2018 contest

although i enjoyed your submission and without any intention to offend you to me it seems the lyrics are more appropriate to a RAP style and not hip hop

i also recognize the time you invested in your composition including the lyrics

and so RAP on

"Nonetheless, us label-hungry knowledge junkies will probably never arrive at a definitive answer. Labels such as “rap” and “hip-hop” are never solidly set in stone, but are free to flow and develop, rather like the songs themselves. Evidently, some hip-hop lovers simply enjoy the moment and leave it at that. As the ever-eloquent Biggie Smalls confessed, “Birthdays was the worst days. Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay.”"

--I Am Hip Hop Magazine.


Well, W, if there's one of ya, I gotta speak to the otha, like he was my brotha, and say what I am, and don't listen to the man, cuz like I shoulda said to Ice above, when he was up to no good, I shoulda said:

Ice, home slice...

I AM the hood.

Peace.

--L'il D

THIS!!

Ok Ok, guys, my last submission will be sweet and pretty and all classical and stuff just because I know it scares you when I hit the street with the beat to compete, on my feet, like a hip hop suite, like a peep, make you weep, give you a creep, cuz I'm deep.

Next time, the Western music you are used too--no more Halloween.
