Silent Ben
Silent Ben (3/22/2006)
I love how people stand up and spray shit when I’m honest
Labels placed from faces who regurgitate and vomit
It’s always the same nonsense, it’s always playing constant
So I’m saying you should stop it, I’m playing it like a prophet
Cause everytime, I dock it, I let it stew and simmer
Then I show off all my skills, then I redeclare the winner
The rhymes that glow and shimmer and make you fucking quiver
They’re everything I live for and they get me through the winter
But, so you caused a fissure and upset the fucking balance
You tipped the fucking chalice and so now I lay the challenge
Here we go Ben, I got my rhymes and flow and passion
It’s time for you to step up and decide your course of action
And, of course, the satisfaction is only mine for taking
Cause your site’s a little empty, though I know your mind is raking
Searching for a method to match my own abilities
I’m anxiously awaiting and man this wait is killing me
But, damn, it’s such a thrill to me, I can’t wait to see you rhyme, kid
You seem a little quiet, I’ll be patient, I don’t mind this
I’ll take it that your silence indicates you rhyme with talent
Perfect, no mistakes, is the way to win this challenge
See, I’d love to rhyme and fight you, but I’m betting I’ll get silence
More nothings from the bitches who are just a little rhymeless
This hobby that’s so timeless, the one I use for violence
Is too much for you to grasp, you stare and then you’re blinded
So I guess that’s how we find it, all your ignorance and bullshit
Always check your line, kid, before you go and pull it
Cause I’m anger to the fullest and I love the people like you
The people I can walk on and then that I can write through
And use the words to spite you, while you question “why’d I try you?”
Aggression and depression are the means by which I fight you
I’ll be waiting on your rhyme fool, I want to see you match me
Or else you’ll shut your mouth and make sure you don’t attack me
Notes: Not a technically amazing or moving piece, but it should make the message loud and clear. If you’re going to start something with me, now’s your chance to finish it. Let’s see what you got, kid. I’ll be waiting…
