SB Retro: Spit Bombs

SB Retro: Spit Bombs by SilencioBarnes

An old track. A short freestyle that shows off my style a little (to this day). Listen, sing along with the lyrics, read about the track, and download it for free here: https://silenciobarnes.net/music/sb-retro-spit-bombs/

About the Song “Spit Bombs”

Spit Bombs is just a really old track I did back in the day. For some reason, to this day, many still consider it some of my best stuff despite it only really being something of a freestyle. Many will recognize the beat from Missy’s Hot Boyz remix featuring Nas (Eve and Q-Tip too). As far as my rap music goes, I do think the lyrics of this track are a good example of just what my style was about at the time.

Lyrics to “Spit Bombs”

Every time I speak on, everybody be calm
Every time I spit bombs, everybody be gone
Every second, every minute, every day I live it
In every written lyric, you can hear it when I spit it

Obsidian skies, the night thick like Patricia’s thighs
The knife hit, made his side split, how easy he died
This life is not so nice you could end up inside
A dark ditch, or a nice pit or buried alive

I might just be the last thing you see through them eyes
The hood’ll rob a dude without taking a dime
But all I wanna do is spark spliffs, deliver these lines
Till you bleeding from the mind, science hidden in rhyme

The savannahs full of lions, if you sheep better hide
Cause them cats be on the creep, if you sleep better rise
This the Streets mufucka, either ride or divide
And if you don’t ride you gone fall or crash into .9’s

Where niggas bust off and pump raw and cash in they lives
Over drug wars and dumb whores be leeching them dry
But we lust more we tote arms we learn to get by
But still we want yours, so come off, or learn to survive

Fuck a sports car, the hoop ride be doing me fine
My niggas hold more than drug stores wherever we ride
Some dudes’ll talk or they’ll joke, dog don’t let em get fly
Treat they face like a baseball, or cut em like the blade through that base raw

Face off, don’t ever rely
Cause your best man’ll take off and leave you to die

See through these eyes, and see what I see when I’m high
Or be how I be when I find

That just by speaking my mind
Or being bold when it isn’t time
Or being told that I can’t, when I can in fact without even trying
I learned that I’m simply divine, you feel me?

Every time I speak on, everybody be calm
Every time I spit bombs, everybody be gone
Every second, every minute, every day I live it
In every written lyric, you can hear it when I spit it

Serpent’s Tongue

Serpent’s Tongue by SilencioBarnes

A writing exercise for abcedarians – I like the story I told with the form 🙂 To read the actual poem and see the structure go here: http://silenciobarnes.com/writing/serpents-tongue/ – you will also find more info, the video and some other downloads there.

Serpent’s Tongue

Apple of eyes, fruit of the womb
Beneath petalum lashes
Color consumes

Declaration of absence from
Earth’s metal tomb
Forgotten, a past that is
Gone all too soon

Hell is predicted one dark afternoon
Inhaled by the victim
Justified by the tension then
Killed by the witness
Legalized and consumed

Made into a prison that spells out our doom
Named “He is Risen” we followed like fools

Opened the sepulcher
Pandora entombed by her own curiosity
Questioned by whom
Rescinded by one yet accepted by two
Said man and said woman

The serpent’s dark croon

Unlimited knowledge it sang was our due
Venom so sweet that it sang to our souls
Water and dirt sprang forth man, it was so
Xenophobe made them alike to himself
Yet left them with naught in their brains but their souls
Zenith of innocence lost to us all

Back to Sentiments of the Cerebral

Serpent’s Tongue Remix

Here’s a version of Serpent’s Tongue that a friend of mines set to music. I plan to use it, and other tracks, in a project called SilentFilm.

Serpent’s Tongue is a poem that proves I know my ABC’s…seriously 🙂 You can find out more about it here: https://silenciobarnes.net/writing/serpents-tongue/
