Dont Dwell on the Past (A RAP) : Music Poetry

written by Poet : Willy Kung


RAP title: 'Don't Dwell on the Past'

INTRO:
The scenarios presented in this rap DO NOT depict the happenings in my life. This rap presents a few common life problems we face in general & examples of how NOT to react of them. But ultimately, the message to take from this rap is: "Don't dwell on the past!". Aight, check this out...

CHORUS:
With every wall and every snag, with every fall or every crash
Just keep on followin' your plans, but don't be dwellin' on the past
'Cause when you're dwellin' on the past you're invariably misled...
And when you're stuck right in the past you'll never move ahead.

VERSE 1:
I'm so exasperated---out of gas---I flunked again!
I flunked this test, I'll drop this class unless I understand...
Like all these answers to these questions messin' with my head
The stuff from textbooks and professors I can't comprehend
If I flunk half of all these tests, then what about exams?
I cannot phatom where I'm destined, probably not success
With all this cash that's been invested, yeah it's awfully sad
I cannot handle, cannot manage all this ounce of stress
I wanna channel all this tension---I just want to SNAP!
With all this stress that's in this chest, yo I just want to RANT
I want to spread like all this venom all across the NET
Go off some tangent just like all the panicked moms and DADS
I'm always slapped by Mom and Dad, and plus the house's a mess
I want to jump right off a chasm 'cause I'm all depressed
Will I be destined for success? Forget it, not a chance!
But all this crap is in the past, forget it dawg, relax!

(CHORUS x2)

VERSE 2:
Applied for lots and lots of jobs but never got accepted
Whatever document that's sent employers just reject it
I must express that for the record I'm f**kin' not dyslexic
But all this anger and distress has clouded my perspective
And all the contents of my head expressed should all get censored
Offensive language gets relentless when I opt to spread it
It's awful messages I spread when I am lost in panic
Not only that, I'm smokin' crack, I cannot stop this habit
I've got no cash to spend, so yeah I feel my patience fadin'
A renegade with reckless rage, I've been real crazy lately
I have been failin' in relationships---it's been frustratin'!
What does it take to win this game I'm really not embracin'?!
I'd really wish to catch some rays, but lately it's been rainin'
Heck, everyday's a rainy day with pennies I've been chasin'
I must just say I'm a disgrace, I can't sustain a livin'
You want to rid the pain and strain?! Then change your way of thinkin'!

(CHORUS x2)

VERSE 3:
Now how much time would it take this train to reach its destination?
And what does it take to get this train to leave its dreaded station?
At any rate it's runnin' late, some people don't have patience
Take in this blatant illustration and heed my explanation
You feel ashamed of your mistakes, you're seethin' in frustration
You've even strayed to negative thinkin' perceivin' devastation
You see this train that's parked all day not leavin' at the station?!
You need to stray out of this station, that's really what I'm sayin'
'Cause when you're stayin' at the station, I really think you're stallin'
And then your quest to move ahead will really take you longer
Yeah that's a definite detriment, it really makes it harder...
To grasp the concept of success and get to the place ya wanna
You're failin' college and you're jobless, you've dealt with many problems
You've been impoverished since a toddler, you've never tasted comfort
Assess your struggles and your problems, develop ways to solve em
Just think you'll conquer all your struggles, then that will make you stronger.

(CHORUS x2)

OUTRO:
The bottomline is, acknowledge your past mistakes, learn from them, but don't dwell on them and let them bring you down. The past is the past, leave the past behind & focus on building a better future. Aight, peace out!
