Hey, man!

You’re in my space
And in my face
You steal my time
You’re on my dime

You’re on my toes
Too near my nose
You block my rights
You dim my lights

Don’t breathe my air
Or touch my hair
Give me a break
I’m real - you’re fake

You’re lost - I’m found
You’re noise - I’m sound
Take off that mask
That’s all I ask

And all I’ll tell
I don’t believe that there’s a hell
Some nasty pit devoid of grace...
There’s no such place.

Or heaven up past rocket’s reach
I hear you preach
But can’t accept that I’ll be left behind
And lose my mind

Or be controlled by evil force
You say whose source
Comes straight from angel falling?

Oh, Please…That’s so appalling!

You make me sick, you lunatic.
Get back, Get out
There is no doubt that you’re the one
Who needs to run, to hide.

It’s YOU who’s lied
To me and mine
You’ve crossed the line
An end time sign you bray.

Bah humbug!

I am not afraid
Of you, or your Looney tune
Same ole one you always croon
It hurts my head, I’ve said - and said - and said

Leave me alone
(I’m on the phone)
Don’t have time
I’m in my prime

Besides… even if it’s true (this rapture)
Anti-guy won’t have to capture me to give the beastly mark of dark and bad.

You’re mad, you’re zip –
I’m rad, I’m hip

Which one’s the fool?
Not I…I’m waaay too cool
To live that stupid fairy tale
Beyond earth’s cryptic mystery veil

*Zap-Zap boom, in twinkling blink

Hey man!

You’ve left the room
I face sure doom
You’re outta sight
There is no light

I cannot see
I’m stuck (you’re free)
Where did you go?
Oh No! Oh No!

It was true, the stuff you spouted
Why, oh why, did you not SHOUT it?
Take me down and make your case
I might have stopped a life of waste

I weep - I wail
I gnash my teeth
I’m trapped in fire
So far beneath

Farther than I thought I’d go
To reap the seed I chose to sow
I chanced – I dared
And now I’m scared

I pushed - You caved
Never knowing what I craved
From my dark place
To God’s good grace

I heard you teach
But couldn’t reach
From where I lived and died
Perspective from my sin - Outside

The road was wide
I let time slide
I gave you chase - but all I really wanted was

Your SPACE

Awesome rap style highlighting the high price of rejecting God. Excellect use of style that pulls the reader in and doesn't let go until the end!

A racey, pacey piece! I loved the off beat rhyme and metre and the message! Well done.

Very cool. I could just hear someone rappin' this to a funky beat...
