Prove It - CPC (Feat. Pips Ahoy)

A several years old collaboration with my best friend to see if we could make a song in a few hours. Very amateur but we like that about it, sound cloud should be embedded!

Christopher Robin occasionally (and terribly) raps with the moniker CPC. My friend (Pips) knows a thing or two about Macbooks, music and recording so all music/editing credit goes to him, we each wrote our own parts, I wrote the chorus.

Prove it �" CPC (Feat. Pips Ahoy)

Chorus

So it’s time to prove it

Time to lose it

Took one night to find the music

High and lucid

Feels conducive

Write our lines to get you moving.

 

CPC

Return me to sender for services rendered

I’m serving my gender in turn I’m remembered

Determined to end this I search for incentive

Defending extensions of endless pretenders.

Remember that you’re messing a competitor 

Who’s better than the venomous men at the seminar.

Preparing their remedies

For scaring their enemies

Comparing extremities

For sharing their melodies.

Aware my inherent ability’s unlimited

So give me a minute and I’ll begin to spit it

‘Cos I’m here to win it, better start to sing it,

‘Cos it’s time bring it, time to push the limits.

Yeah!

So before you all forget it here’s a set to make you sweat it

And I bet you won’t regret it so just check this for a second

A lesson to the westerners the blessed yet infected

See perfection of inflection is the essence of my message.

Embedded in my head is this vendetta of a veteran

Who’s settling his severance with effortless endeavors

Instead of all the evidence of negatives and benefits

Pretend there’s only eloquence developing my sentiments

Ha!

Chorus

So it’s time to prove it

Time to lose it

Took one night to find the music

High and lucid

Feels conducive

Write our lines to get you moving.

 

Pips Ahoy

So it seems I’ve been asked to be up to the task

To be timing my rhymes to be faster than fast

Be the gauge through the maze of the fuss and the farce

Not to wait as I wade through the grin of the past.

Watch me go watch me flow from the first to the last.

From the rotten at the bottom to the snake in the grass.

From the riddle in the middle and mistakes of the past

To the man with a plan with his head up his arse.

So I’m �"breathing rhythmically

And �" waxing lyrically

And it �" seems that literally

I’m �" rhyming physically

You �" cannot limit me

I’m �" out for liberty

Yet �" just as equally

I’m �" quite the mystery

The place that I’ll take on the history page

Will be between what you’ve seen and the things that I say

About the spark in the dark in the shadow of day

And the friends we condemn and the ones we betray.

Then to list through the mist of the lost and the strayed

To the winners and the sinners to the black and the grey

Is the run of the one who remembers the way

We used to fight through the night in the middle of the race.

 

CPC

I’m so glad it’s not raining

My train was delayed for a change so I stood patiently waiting

Debating my aim placed at this station

Sensations we’re aching me racing amazingly

Through my brain.

This waking elation was ace it was great

So I stayed and my claim was change up my game

And attain a new name and acclaim some more fame.

So I stayed and I prayed and replaced my disdain

And contained all the pain that was raging my brain

Came to a place of maintenance

Basically wasted my greatest creation

To play to this nation, it’s crazy and blatant

Insane if I made it, get paid to just say s**t!

So sooner or later this waiter will scrape

And he’ll save to be greater.

Explain and proclaim to the fakers and haters

With ages on stages that traitors to cages can make it. (echo)

 

Chorus

So it’s time to prove it

Time to lose it

Took one night to find the music

High and lucid

Feels conducive

Write our lines to get you moving.

Just came by this one. Great stuff mate. I went to do computer science and music so I am a little involved but nevermind that. I specially like the fact the the lyrics are easy to relate and bouncy which is very much needed. Both musically and lyrically the words resounded and did not get "eaten" but the sound. Also great to see how the words mold to the sound which is not possible to appreciate when sound is not available. I know you guys posted the sound as well but I would find it a little unfair to go into technicality as I appreciate enormously the effort of bringing song lyrics into the poetry world.


Thankyou Both

Ohh man!! I just loved it!! I am a mystery- i use that sentence often. It being used here,made me giggle .. "you cannot limit me"- hell yes! Nobody can ever chain down our abilities because we are here to spit it.. the main aspect of your poems ir rhythm. Though i can't check out the music i must say you would have done a nice job with it too. I love accepting challenges and if you challenged yourselves for this song then thumbs up buddy. You did excellently. Optimistic writes are always my cup of tea. Just with a killer attitude. :)

This was a fun one for sure. I am loving the recordings you have of these songs, the rapping helped make the rhythm clear and I enjoyed the beat a lot.

So I’m "breathing rhythmically
And " waxing lyrically
And it " seems that literally
I’m " rhyming physically
You " cannot limit me
I’m " out for liberty
Yet " just as equally
I’m " quite the mystery

This was my favorite part, it flowed with such smoothness and the rhyming was excellent.

Fun to see (or hear) a piece come to life. My brain doesn't work in the musical manner, so it is wonderful to read someone who does.

[AprilRN1210]

oh my goodness!!... I love hearing it as well as reading it.. I know this sounds like an echo echo.. but jeez.. I mean it... several parts had me giggling...

"Watch me go watch me flow from the first to the last.
From the rotten at the bottom to the snake in the grass.
From the riddle in the middle and mistakes of the past
To the man with a plan with his head up his arse."....... this has to be my absolute favorite...

only critique I would like to add, and is totally my preference, but, I think it needs a "harder" "grittier" beat... If this was meant to be an "in-your-face" type---- ok... boy.. now what... prove it... kind of piece--and some of these words really are poetic genius, then I think it needs more "boom" if you know what I mean... yes, I know, just my opinion... yep... officially a fan now.. :)

your rap is amazing, I loved it.the part that I liked so much is this :

So before you all forget it here’s a set to make you sweat it
And I bet you won’t regret it so just check this for a second
A lesson to the westerners the blessed yet infected
See perfection of inflection is the essence of my message.
Embedded in my head is this vendetta of a veteran
Who’s settling his severance with effortless endeavors
Instead of all the evidence of negatives and benefits
Pretend there’s only eloquence developing my sentiments
Ha!

[Christopher Robin]

Thank you for your kind words and feedback as always Latifa, look forward to seeing more of your writing!
