What can I write what hasn't already been written?
I see a million rappers but what lines are you spittin?
The formulaic approach is dying as it's already been given.
Billions of souls are trapped but how many are aware?
Shake my head at that Hellfire club t-shirt you wear.
Make a cross with my fingers as the Holy Spirit lingers,
Don't cover up one of my eyes, ah, those programmed singers.

Clever a modern take on Ecclesiastes and there is noting new under the sun. I have wondered that too about there is nothing that I can write that has not already been written. This put in a rap like beat make this write a modern and identifiable one. Loved it
Good write SM. Erm, you could write about Eddie Thompson. I think that's his name (see initials. lol).
Shaun, this carries real frustration with imitation, conformity, and people consuming symbols without questioning what they represent. Strong and provocative write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
