Rap Challenge Week #15 Submission

but this is new to me,
didn't know to go that far

so let me see what happens
if i open up some scars

tell you all some stories
from a wounded reservoir

my first time on stage
i was only eight
thought i'd be great
til my mind went blank

i stood and i stared
though I wanted to run
nobody cared
but the damage was done

or how about the time i was a hostage in japan?
talk about a high ass fucking cost of living man

i had to pay my own ransom
a price that was handsome
but it was all that i had
my options were bad

i was homeless for two weeks
i slept on a bar seat
the language, i couldn't speak
every day, i'd barely eat

until one day, someone pitied me
tall dude, kinda looked like me
and the sickest rapper i'd ever seen

switched languages like it was nothing
spit bars like it was just breathing
also, he fed me...

took me to a barbecue with friends and family
spicy southern style, they were US military
got the biggest plate of meat i'd probably ever seen
wolfed it down in minutes and then licked the plate clean

i'm eternally grateful for the kindness that he gave
and it makes me really sad that i can't recall his name
