Run it up calm

She Aint The Problem (ODDWIN RAP CONTEST 2024)

Autistic and Indigenous creators represent! Thanks for listening.

No nest, I’ve flown
I’m blessed, I know
Depressed, so cold
I get it off my chest, to cope,
Mother, can I learn how to shine and still
Rain dance?
I’m not Shawn Kemp but all my friends still call me “The Rain Man”

Been trying to sober up,
When shit goes down I like to fill my cup
Had like, thirty-something drug addictions,
Ways were wicked, devil patterned,
Hate, conviction, making digits,
Way the money moving 
Had me acting different
Mr. Cold-Fingered, dope dealer,
Make my own concoctions,
No, I don’t feel it, 
Liquor got me walking odd angled,
The trail of tears’ ripple effect
Was star spangled,

They say on and on,
These moments come and go,
Through pain and changes,
All the highs and lows we seek,
From glum to glee to anguish, it’s
What we need to aid our growth as we keep aging,
To fight against that ebb & flow
Is to repeat the same shit.
Universe don’t care,
But people do,
Sometimes you need to hear,
“Someone believes in you”
Behind the scenes, you best believe,
That you can reach out to me,
Like Guru once said,
“We all must meet our moment of truth”

Everytime we coalesce, correspond,
Or commune,
You know we color our humanity,
With many different hues,
Like the plumage of a bird,
Fly together then disperse,
All directions on Mother Earth,
Point back to love at her roots,
Like Mavi I be breathing,
Out of love for respiration,
Even when my life’s 
A tug of war with frustration,
I’m regal with my people,
Cause we struggled all the same,
Huddled in the cold,
Resuscitating a flame,
That inner fire we used to spark imagination

Oddwin Rap Contest 2024 - Rebuild of Oddwingelion 3.1 - I Am (not) White

Rap Contest Entry

I made my trek, I played the cards I was dealt straight out the deck.
I spent my youth, in that bitch I was chasing checks
But you learn the best might make some money. But also learned that money don't make the best

I used strive for peace, guess I was, dead wrong 
Front a nigga bread, tryna keep his stead on
Crazy how the bread brought the nigga you let on
And crazy they disappear when you say the bread gone

It's a marathon all of them, got a leg on
Way I've been ramen as of late, prolly’ put a egg on
Put em' in a pot, stir, boi I get my Steph on
Put the boy on a beat, it's clear they put the best on

The city frozen, and from that city I'm chosen
stood the test of time, that time you put in 
Time and time again turn you golden

And outlived my peers, in regards to rap
The kids call me a hero, professor call me Logan

Life's a game and the way that I play convinced
Everyone that I slayed their egos dismayed like I put a code in

no time to let it soak in
I'm steady throwing Hadoukens
I’m taking any opponents
I'm turning them to components

Let my warm up and blood in the water warn em'
My influence Spans the city my web is Corner to corner

My word is bond and that bond reaching border to border
Your bitches badly shaped, Your bitches are kinda sortas’

I took domains and turned em' to my shit
I took a step a and it turned into stomping
I let them talk I'm the talk of the topic 
The biggest Legends are born from the smallest of gossip

I fronted money when I had the smallest of pockets  
So when they say money changed me I tell to stop it

It's all the same from I when I didn't have it to the time that I got it
Like rap when you got it, niggas know that you got it

TroyX - Oddwin Rap Contest 2024

Better keep the energy tucked
My pen is a lethal weapon, I draw the stick, then it’s up
The paint is coloured in blood, the stains covered in mud
I stay craving the race, ain’t no placing no one above
The one who’s lethal with the confidence
It’s confidential, I meant all what I say
I’ve been mental and insane
Intellectual with the brain
I’ma send y’all to the grave
Cus it’s a grave mistake to put me against y’all
It’s amazing they hating the way I speak to the rest
I’ve always told em if you’re speaking, better speak it with chest
Season’s open, I see them coping and flee when I step
Seek the best, then you seek death, I’m releasing the pen
Freedom of speech, I’m speaking my bars, they sleep in the den
Leaving amends unchecked, the cheque is leaving em red
Cleaving the best when the pen unsheathes, I tear em to shreds
Clearing his debt when I stepped in and I went for the head
Send em a message, I'm messing with them
Hearing my voice, they drop it and bounce
I stem from the waves I make, my voice is drowning em out
Big stepper, I’m here to sever when I come for the crown
Gloves off when I’m in the ring, I fiend for knocking em out
My pen is a lethal weapon, huh
Please don’t shoot the messenger
Sleep without the pills, cus I’ma pop em where the head is, yuh
Speak but do not test me, nah
Shrieking when they met me, yuh
Reaping what you sow cus in your roots is where you’re buried, yuh
Pen in enticing, I make em fear when I’m rhyming
Death in my notes when I wrote it down
When I speak, then it’s frightening
When I speak, then I’m fighting cus in this beef, you’ll be dying
Stepping to me, then your life will reflect the things that I’m writing
My pen is catastrophic, my lyrics are all symbolic
I may be new gen and modern with old teachings and knowledge
Sit back and watch me demolish the scene when they see the hardest MC in this contest
I need me three hunnid, yuh

Run it up calm
