Just a loop I put together a few days ago. Started off with a sample of "The Majestic" by Dion & The Belmonts, but I ended up barely using the sample and turning it into this instead. Hope you enjoy!

Keep Keplar

Lyrics:

Intro:
They ask me who I am
Who he is, and what his deal is
It ain’t none of your damn business
But do know I am the realest
My flow’s iller than an epidemic causing all the sickness
They say that the sky’s the limit
I say fuck that, it’s a hindrance

Verse 1:
Only limit is the motherfucking drive inside your spirit
But I say it so I hear it, cause my spirit’s been dismissive
Gotta say it till they spray it, it’s the message deep within this
Re-reiterate more than once to make it even clearer
I’ve been playing hide and seek with my ambition all this week
And what I do is what makes me
Yet I’ve been lost inside a sea of ambiguity
The future is the only thing I haven’t seen
Take my words out to the streets! Maybe then I’ll find the key!
Some say where we start is where we end up, the agenda
Has been made unsafe, it’s unfair how we’re sinners
And the light inside’s been taken from misguided kids in silence
In due time man, we stay silent, they get violent, they get mad for us not trying!
But an occupation is what’s on the minds of those enlightened
And they spread the vibes by claiming that there’s no need to be frightened
Gotta say it once, twice, three times, repetition laid for guidance
Purifying with that clearness, taking advice from Mick Jenkins

Chorus:
They ask me who I am
Who he is, and where I stand
I say motherfuck the man!
And strip that power from his hands!
Bitch, this ain’t no candyland!
Why you looking at me mad?
I’m just being realistic
I guess that makes me a misfit!

Verse 2:
I open the page and say “I need that pen, man!”
My penmanship has improved since I started writing writtens
This art form has no need for controversial conversation
Get rid of that bias and that heightened sense for sensing mayhem
Now listen! I’m from a small town in the middle of the mountains
Moved into a house, then moved to an apartment, then a house again
Born in the heartland, parents from Sudan
As a child I was naïve and just cripplingly innocent
But times changed! Look down but grew up, I was too different
At fifteen it made sense to join a group that started spliffing
At seventeen I mixed a spliff and Hennessy 
It be the remedy, or possibly the end of me – my enemy!
Why are vices so enticing? I’m so young and wild and free!
Break the rules! Break the law! Do the shit that’s on TV!
Don’t you make me say it twice – go out and have fun already!
Looks like you read me. You know I’m only kidding!

Outro:

Found my calling, so I spit fire
I’m just spit-balling shit till I retire
Call me Lebron cause I spit like it’s a sport
Go report that, and then let me know when you want more
