about

Inspired by all the killing this past summer of three of the most promising new rappers. Two of them from my city of Chicago. Who were the leaders of the two opposing gangs down on the Southside.
Anyone following modern Rap will know exactly who these three rappers were.
What a waste!
Sad ASL!

lyrics

Rap Beef

Plan to fail fail to plan. Don't impress the next man/
Self respect in effect will correct and connect/
Country singers don't murder country singers so then why/
Is the plan to be slayin' colored men who then die//

When Ricky Spitzz the flow. Be slicker than ya bro/
And beats that be on time, That's wicked. Deep and Low/
Tune in, act like you know. The fuh sho. O.G. Big Bro/
Mystery Babylon. As above also below//

The battlefield is strewn. With legs and torsos hewn/
My camp betwixt the dunes. Vanguard at high noon/
I come here once a blue moon. To sharpen up my harpoon/
And train amongst the platoon. Always stay hip and in-tune//

Speaker freak-er sound-boy paid to rock a room/
Off-Sonar Barcelona. Senorita nude at noon/
Rock a party in Ibiza. Collect my doubloons/
But I digress just keep it fresh. Relax and just do you//

Lived the words he said. Lacked and got shot in the head/
Make a hard cold bed. Bus'in' fabric down to thread/
Rap beef good grief. Almost beyond belief/
Act fast cause time's a thief. One blast can last in sleep//

We be positive. Cause it's causative. I walk in peace/
And plus cognitive prerogative. Provokingly provocative/
Ricky Spitzz! Be rockin' it. Shock yo mind Hip Hoppin' it/
Swing like Jazz the pocket it. Question interrogative//

It's so real. You can feel. Niggas ill/
In the field. Weak ones yield. And caps get peeled/
But what the heck, when bro-nem vexed off the Internets/
Need a hug. Cause they stressed. Try some tenderness//

Rap beef on a come down, but first you need the rundown/
Kids off pill thrills fun town. Common thing come sundown/
Serotonin got 'em zonin'. When it's low they moanin'/
Now they won-na kill opponents//

Relax. It ain't all that. In facts it's a fall flat/
O.G. Bruv done said that. It's past due we dead that/
Type of style is funny when it block the bag of money/
Don't wanna come off old head. So you don't come off son-ny//

It's a tribe, Feel the vibe. Old school into the new/
Guard against trick-knowledge. It's the wisdom we pursue/
All angles three-sixty. Chain links remain fixed B/
Generations mixed thee. No distance in betwixt we//

Time to put the beefin' down much less stress and sleepin' sound/
Catching habits cryin' out. Wild and rabid dyin' out/
Famous Dex's brain fryin' out. Niggas reckless high on clout/
It's lit when you the guy about. The pits when you hit drying drought//

But I digress, Rap Beef is so passe/
Keep disputes on wax. Flex for clout. And get paid/
Live for yourself. Live for your manz/
Live for your family. Live for your fans//
