[@ZzSpeaks]

This is obviously over-simplified, which is fine. this isn't designed to create perfect lines. It's a way of generalizing your thought process to give you a great place to start. I've been rapping and working in a studio for years and I found this extremely helpful. Thanks man. Keep it up. Subbed.

It is though it doesn't rhyme. Lemme make it for you "My Brain is dirt you see, putting seed and watering till its a grown tree". It has also some different meanings it shows your increased mental growth, and lyrical meaning you got nothing than you becoming a hotshot. Ovr it was nice one.
