OK, I haven't posted new material because I have been trying my hand at rap. It has been like most other rap, meaning it couldn't be posted here. I tried my hand at a non-vulgar one to get some feedback on the quality. I don't like how this one turned out at all.

On July 9th, 1982 there was a mistake made in So Cal tell me where were you
The mistake was 7 pounds, blond hair and brown eyes
This helpless baby boy became such a surprise
Parents demise, when they realized what they created
Future delinquent, strung out and jaded
Face it, the world ain't a great place to be
Became a whole lot worse on the day they made me
Everybody has anger but I'm filled to the top
Piss me off once more and I might just pop
And drop, the first person that I see
So it's not too smart for you to stand right next to me
Don't worry I'm not coming after you
But when I go off the deep end, I won't know who's who
So make your move, to the nearest exit
I'm OK for now but I wouldn't test it

Picked on at school from the very start
Cause my parents were broke and my clothes were Wal Mart
Cold heart to all those who had it easy
Cause I always had it rough and they liked to tease me
Believe me it can be tough, for a kid,trying to live, never had enough
So I got me a job and I got me some money
The attitudes changed, ain't that funny
Went from being a loser to being cool
Went from a kid no one liked to the big man at school
Got my hair cut and bleached and hear "he is a hottie"
You couldn't tell before, different hair, same body
But not me, I'm not falling into this trap
Cause I've been hated for too long,put up with too much crap
I snap and decide to strike back
So I filled the world with holes but I fell through the cracks.

P.S. This still needs work

Just remember, you arent a mistake, and you cant justify any mistakes you parents made. If you werent here, think of all the things that would be different, most for the worst. I doubt that your parents consider you a mistake!

No child or any person can ever be a mistake, and you my friend are hardly a mistake. Please think about it. But besides the point of it all, it came together very well and you should give yourself more credit!!! Best wishes... ~*Jesilyn*~

I don't consider myself that much of a mistake. I've made mistakes but I'm not one. I didn't mean it like that. I'm not feeling sorry for myself, just thought it went with the rest of the song. Thanks.

I thought it was ok. I'm not a fan of rap, but I thought you did well on this one.
Still......not my preference.

Ooo a rap!! Rap is good. Rap is very good. Like Acire said, you're Tupac in the making. It had the Tupac feel to it with the really meaningful words.

Well done, Jon!

I like this! I really do. it's really negative though....maybe you could make a positive rap too? but then again, it's just an idea..

My oh my Jon! What kind of bull are you coming up with??? LOL You are not a mistake. No one is. This came to me as quite a suprise cause the way I know you, you sure dont seem like you would think this. But anyways if you were a mistake as you may believe then did I make a mistake when I became friends with you??? I think not!!! Keep up the good work but do it with some positve energy then negative.
