"Its Over Now" (BRANDDDD NEW VERSE)

Soo, i am always proud when i pen something. ...MEANINGFUL. Since my '06 hiatus and writers block that i never recovered from, i rarely get an opportunity to jot finished products and everything. I like how my stuff used to FLOWWW. with ease. I always recollect back to '05 when i spawned some masterpieces in my eyes

In any matter, some of you took note when I presented a short while ago "It's Over Now" bringing it to the forefront as a throwback from 2005. Well, recent situations put me back in touch with the sentiments of "its Over Now" I was thus inspired to pen something ENTIRELY new. I would like to share..

Its Over Now :BRAND NEW third verse. Circa de march '09:

Verse 3: Hannibal aka Lyrical Laureate

My heart will never mend,
and i thought- what we started' never end//
u started slidin', wit ya smart and clever friend
wen u give ya heart, they either discard it, shred, or bend
so we parted, its like a scarred and severed limb
as for cupid's arrow- a target, ive neva been
but i let it prick me, and now im sickly..
you held my heart ransom, i let you stick me//
wen we cut, we were closer than a schick be
we had a deal, that you brokered and you gipped me//
its all in the cards, wit poker, yea you tricked me
love lockdown, [had me] in choker when you gripped me//
no need to bicker, we stay spazzin' see
it all falls down, and that's the grave gravity//
to emotions, we've been a slave haven't we
no devotion, yea we've strayed haven't we//

CHORUS (sampled from Justin Timberlake "Never Again")
[too late, it's over now]
it's [too late, it's over now]
guess it's just [too, too late, it's over now]


This note is long enough, so for the original two verses.. see..

i think in ways, the first two verses are better. i was a better more seasoned, spry lyricist in '05. But this recent jotting had experiences behind it. The first set was written abstract. not having been through anything like that, but imagining.

but yea, i'm proud of this, just like i'm proud of "POET TO EMCEE" and "INSPIRED" (http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=2235969500&id=51301687&index=13)

Ciao y'all. Thanks for reading

"Its Over Now" (Throwback from '05)

I'm "astonished" for lack of a better word. How life is a cycle and what-not. The following was penned in collaboration wit my boy shane in nov '05 off of a Justin Timberlake sample ("Never Again"). what i find ?intriguing? is that this was written for noone in particular,no particular experience- but i find myself goin thru some experiences eerily like it. So either, i got premonitions.. my rhymes has soothsayer qualities... i dunno. Its prob that this journey of living is the same shyt, diff laxative. well...


Verse 2: Hannibal (formerly known as) CRiSiS, aka Lyrical Laureate

Too late its +over now +
I use to love her… but I +loathe her now+ //
+Sober now+, but soon I'll drown in *liquor and tears*
no more concernin myself *with her affairs*//
I've +bemoaned,--that's done+/the Chance for bliss... we've +Blown, that one +
I can't imagine, doin anything +ALONE, that's fun+//
*You was there*/ when I was in *true despair*
Gloomy nights, (as) I wonderin' *'who would care?'*//
Ever since fate +placed us here+
I grew attached to ya +Vivacious flair+//
--Copped a *watch and bracelets*, took you *lots of places*
You said I forsook you, that's *NOT the case- its*//
…Neva "run-of-the-mill" how we *got salacious* [[scandalous]]
When it got +routine+/ we hit a +new scene+
I treated you, how you do a +true queen+
But you Con-descendingly, Respond wit enmity// so

CHORUS :sampled from Justin Timberlake:
[too late, it's over now]
it's [too late, it's over now]
guess it's just [too, too late, it's over now] ........

Verse 3: Hannibal (formerly known as) CRiSiS aka Lyrical Laureate

Its +over and done wit+
No luck--, like a 4 leaf +Clover wit one lip+//
+dumb sick+/ to my stomach, -almost *wretched wit aches*
Usually composed, so no wonder I'm * Vexed wit this state*//
The * sex was this great*/ [[thing..]] I was +obsessed in her flesh+
So as we Split, ...I'm +Possessed --in duress+//
Attraction undeniable/ n' irrefutable
so why make somethin so desirable, unenviable??// [[why?]]
I tried to woo… /+pursue+, with +much a-due+
Quite honestly now, I've had +enuff of you+//
If we +must review+,
the reasons for us leavin…
*What we had*/--its all scribed on this *dusty pad*//
And the letters written, +enclosed to you+
Reveal my emotions rangin from +woes to rue+//
Cuz our Pristine ties is *tattered and frayed*
*Shattered in ways*, that leave me *haggard and dazed*//

[[Bridge 2x]]

When I left, I'd expect that you'd wait
But… I Guess its too late
