*************************************************************************************

mine

come on that can't be the best you've got, i know u have talent, but showing it ur not, now i'm not being mean, but that has to be one of the weakest comebacks i have ever seen

when challenged to a battle of rhyme, it has to have actual might, otherwise, there's not even a point to putting up a fight

now i thought i had challenged somebody who could represent their name, but apparently i was wrong, ur just another chick who can't step up to the game

*************************************************************************************

well people three weeks had passed and i has gotten no responce from jackie, but today i received a message and the battle continues

*************************************************************************************

jacqie

lol im sry 2 delay ^^
i didnt kno id be away
iv ben stayn w/ my mom
at her place of my own free will
its ben quite a bomb
iv ben enjoyin da quiet simple life
da quiet moments dat make life itself seem stil

*************************************************************************************

mine

u had two weeks to reply to that rhyme, still yet, ur just wasting my time

come on, stop telling me about ur personal life and put up a fight, put some light into this and make it shine bright

now there's a reason i chose to challenge u instead of the rest, that because when it comes to a battle, u can put up the best

now give me something that will put my talent to the test, either do that, or give up the quest

*************************************************************************************

Winner: Carlos "House" Gerardo

Reason: Jacqie backed down

BATTLE OF RHYME 7

what's up people, yes the time has come and my fiercest competitor has returned for yet another battle, merce is ready and the show begins tonight



Carlos "House" Gerardo Vs. Merce (round three)

*************************************************************************************

merce

Well this is merce but he calls me giz
Maybe its cuz he knows im a wiz
At exactly what, well by now u should be able to tell
I use my words to cast my spell.

So carlos do you think you could win
Or maybe u know im about to destroy that grin

Always so smug and ready to dish out trash
But all that pride of yours will be gone in a flash
Because merce’s ready to defeat your arrogant hide
Get ready because it will be one hell of a ride

*************************************************************************************

mine

now it’s our third time at the battle of rhyme, you accepted the challenge, but u should have declined, because for u, this is the end of the line

you see, I’ve written to u, and you’ve written back, but still, it is a winner we lack, so I think it’s about time I picked up the slack

see, I do expect to win, but that horrible start has only widened my grin, although that rhyme was oh so slick, still the weakness of it is enough to make anyone sick

just remember, I hold nothing back, weather it be present or past, that’s why by the end of tonight, your reign will be over at last

u don’t deserve the title of wiz if ur coming up with something that bad, seriously, that was just sad, I just want to know what happened to the talent u had

*************************************************************************************

Terminated, No Winner

BATTLE OF RHYME 6

what's up people, this is a rap battle against a poet named kevin, check it out



Carlos "House" Gerardo Vs. Kevin

*************************************************************************************

mine

i'm looking for a battle of rhyme, but the question is, will u accept, or am i just wasting my time

*************************************************************************************

kevin

I'll take that challenge,
but lets raise the stakes.
That way when i win
you will know you made a mistake.

Don't worry ill only take what i can give.
How about 10 dollars,
I do not fib.

Because when we are done,
I will win
And it will be me
taking your ten!

*************************************************************************************

mine

Let me ask, how does one win with a comment that weak, come on man, your rhymes are nothing unique

I’ve seen it all before, a person who thinks he’s a player, but ends up on the floor, when I’m done with u, you won’t be able to take anymore

You see you’re going up against the jackass today, but what u don’t realize, is that I do not play, I rhyme for a living, and blow the competition away

*************************************************************************************

kevin

Oh yea thats what you think,
I'll be done with you n just one blink.
When it comes to rhyming i cannot lose,
And I make sure i leave my opponent with the bruise.

Your nothing against me,
it may take a while but you will see.
You picked the wrong person to get your fun.
You'll be limping when I'm done.

Yea you heard me i did not stutter.
I'm pulling quick ones that will make you shudder

*************************************************************************************

mine

Well it’s about time, man I’ve been waiting 20 minutes for u to comeback at my rhyme

Now HA u expect to be done with me in just one blink, but I’ve gone up against better, and the battle lasted a week

You say I’m guan get beat, but confidence is what leads to defeat, cuse when ur up against me, that only turns up the heat

And don’t tell me I’m not even a challenge to u, because by the end of the night, I won’t be the one to lose

I did not pick the wrong person to get my fun, in fact, you’re the perfect one, remember, the battle has only just begun

*************************************************************************************

kevin

Defeat comes without warning and detection.
Everything i say is sprayed with perfection.

Nothing can stop me from defeating
this battle is nothing,
everything is just repeating.

Try to think of something i haven't heard before.
When you do, don't knock at my door or ill knock you to the floor.

A black eye, broken arm, twisted leg, and you in a hospital bed.
Nothing else is to be said,
or would you rather be dead.

violence in nothing compared to words, words are nothing in the face of me.
Are your ears hurting from the pain of words.
Maybe we should stop a minute before you bleed.

*************************************************************************************

mine

Well finally u picked up the pace, but to win, u must do more than wave your fist in my face

See, you say your words are sprayed with perfection, your defeat coming without detection, yet I’ve found so many flaws in your game, and for that, perfection, is not to blame

You say this battle is nothing to u, but I know that’s not very true, because already you’ve threatened me like we were in a fight, and to be honest, only cowards turn to that form of might

You’re asking me if I would rather be dead, HA look who’s talking, the boy who has poetic depression written inside of his head (referring to his poetry)

And don’t think I’m scared of what u said before, I fear not of knocking on your door, but I warn, if u even come close to mine, it’ll mean war

*************************************************************************************

kevin

wow dude that couldn't have been said better,
but if I wasn't in such a state of confusion I might have something to reply to this letter.

Besides whats are you going to do about it. I write about what I feel, im poetically correct and when it comes down to depression or death, its no sweat.
I will win this bet over the net.

I dont need my might to win this fight.
My words are stronger than my arms,
so don't say I'm weak or you will be in harm!

*************************************************************************************

mine

I never thought I would say it, but u went from bad to worse, do u actually expect to win, with something as bad as that verse, come on man, stop going in reverse

and Don’t tell me to not call u weak, at least not while ur rhymes are so bleak, see, might is exactly what it will take to win this contest, you say your words are stronger than your arms, but that is something I have to protest

ur a good poet, but at the moment, ur coming up with nothing but shit, ur rhymes are out in the cold, and becoming frostbit,

Now here’s your last change to get back in the game, give me a stronger comeback, or just bask in ur shame

*************************************************************************************

Winner: Carlos "House" Gerardo

Reason: Kevin Backed Down

ONE IN A MILLION

this was a song that i wrote for my friend who went through some problems not to long ago, so just check it out

one in a million

so few come by
lighting up all there is, in the sky

i remember when we met, it seems like yesterday, i was standing outside of school, when you walked my way, you stopped in front of me, yet i had nothing to say, but when i looked you in your eyes, i knew i'd made a friend that day

not it's been three years since we met, still my heart is filled with glee, because you've been nothing less, than a sister to me, but there's still one thing, that's stuck in my head, it's there when i wake up, and when i go to bed

one in a million
so few come by
lighting up all there is, in the sky

one in a million
so few come by
lighting up all there is, in the sky

it was, two months ago, when you gave me a call, that just made me think "god dammit miss Hall", when we hung up the phone, a tear rolled down my eye, as i wondered, why samantha why

you told me, that you had run away, i didn't even know, what to say, you see after that, days came to pass, which got me worried, because you had the cops on your ass, but recently, i got an e-mail from you, which let me know, most of my worries were through

one in a million
so few come by
lighting up all there is, in the sky

one in a million
so few come by
lighting up all there is, in the sky

you're now back at home, so safe and so sound, but your feeling of dread, still lingers around, girl i hope you can, get back up off of the ground, Sam we both know, i love you to death, because of all of my friends, you truly are the best, i know i can come to you, for anything i need, and you'll help me out, with honesty or speed, and i hope you know, i would do the same for you indeed

now it's july, and i still wonder why, you couldn't just sit back, and watch the time fly

one in a million
so few come by
lighting up all there is, in the sky

one in a million
you're the one that came along
Samantha you're the reason, i wrote this song
