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.
Style is _REVNANT.STY (Revenant Vocal Hip Hop) Rock and Pop. More info below.

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

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

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

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.”"

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.

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.
