Lookin' Past

I might as Well have an "inspired by Magz" series.

Every song she does, helps me with lyrical excercise. Im thankful cuz I seldomly write right about now. so even if the verses I write neva make it off paper, Im glad i got to pen it

Lookin past


For all the kids lookin past
Life is a window,
lets peeeeer through..
Some make it out,but that’s a rareee few
Yet all these kids looking past


Verse 1: Hannibal aka Lyrical Laureate
Past trailer trash or a harlot bimbo
Past guard rails in a project window//
From the philly fog, to the Brooklyn ash
Ill tell the tale, of those lookin past//
Past.. canines tracking a scent
Past.. crack vials, all the glass on cement//
Past bullets through the panes of a acura’s tint
Past the pain, and the strain of lacking the rent//

Fam’s famished and the clothes is skimpy
Crack zombies, I kno their souls is empty//
In the hood, man, the goals is Bentley's
And by any means/ they gettin plenty cream
Wanna be a Scarface or a Billy Dean ..
Some are faking the funk and some really lean//
Sad scenes, I’ve really seen../ The disparity, no sense of clarity
Nor glimpse of charity, --(they lookin past..)

[[HOOK 2X]]

Verse 1 (alternate) : Hannibal aka Lyrical Laureate
The arm of the law wanna hook and grasp me
Went to orange jumpsuit, from a crook in khaki//
Some are henchmen, some are shooken lackeys
Me?, I cudnt deal wit lookin ashy//
Felt like the world’s lookin past me
Been pushed like pawns, wit a rook in back me//
The hood is ethereal..
Cuz wit goonies in phantoms, its looking ghastly//
Like the wild-west Wen they tote pounds
And shoot it out, its sorta like a ghost town//
It aint fair to me..
Objects reflected, closer than they appear to be
Looking in my eyes you gotta stare to see
My Ny State of mind , 'no fear of thee'//
Im swearin, b I cant shake the voices
Hear fiends in my sleep, but I make the choices//

For all the kids lookin past
Life is a window,
lets peeeeer through..
Some make it out,but that’s a rareee few
Yet all these kids looking past



So this song i wrote was inspired off of her song and concept that she made called "Looking Past" she decided eventually to use an alternate hook. Same beat we did our respective songs on tho. Give her propz and check her out at myspace.com/KarmaThaTruth
