Ryan Winterz Verse Challenge Winner

 




After 3 weeks of excitement, the Ryan Winterz Verse Challenge has finally came to a climatic end. 

Before we get to the winners, we want to just give a little bit of history about the song. The initial song was recorded in 2019 by Yung Duze and Ryan Winterz, however it was never finished due to loss of project. 5 years later, instead of throwing it away, Winterz and Duze decided to use the open verse space as an opportunity to uplift the new age rappers of Manguzi by running a challenge.

We want to thank the various artists that participated in the competition hopefully this experience added value to their journey and want to thank the sponsors who contributed toward the prize money of R750. The winner is to be awarded R500 while the runner up gets R250. 

A big thanks to the sponsors namely, Yung Duze, Mnqobi, Tragic, Ishey Cacci, Da Cebza , MGZEE , Mikee94, AP Venom and Cebo G

Lyrics

Shed a tear in the booth
Get a piece of my heart
AP Venom

Verse 1

Sometimes I hate who I see in the mirror
I promised me so much, but I haven't delivered
My plan was by this time I’d have this and the other
But alas, none of it turned out
How I imagined now I feel like a failure
Forever working, but hardly seeing any result
And doubt tells me I should settle
Like, it doesn't take any effort...I mean, after all,
I'm qualified, got a job, in the big city living large, all in all, nobody really is expecting much
Already graduated made my family proud, so what more is to be done? Quit dreaming settle down
Face reality, be an adult, save up, buy a house, take your girl walk her down the aisle
Buy a car, have a child, so when you pass, there'll be something left behind, just conform you'll be fine, it's not like you haven't tried
 You're exhausted, you're tired settle down, what you have is enough, settle down


(I told y’all the story before, I cried because I got, you know, discouraged, but I used that as fuel to improve)

Verse 2

Probably wouldn't push this hard without the hate  
You know they say ain't no roses without the rain 
They thought I fell but I rose among the great 
Every day that goes by
Positive and negative, entertaining both ties
I’m making it, and I’m not, messages from both sides
Yesterday's mistakes, we live and we learn from those scars
The hustle is bearing fruit, they wish it wasn't us
But that’s what always happens when you're reaching for the stars
I’ve seen too many niggas go and fail before they start
Lack of self-belief, that's where they operating from
I am not that nigga, look at how far I have come
Godly fabric, I am cut from that cloth
From Manguzi to the world, look at the things I have done
A rap nigga who can take on this beast, name one
Take your time
...I’ll wait...anyway
Bad decisions, but I make ’em with precision
Daily discomfort how I'm making my investments
Pain paying dividends I’m taking my percentage
It may take time, but really I’m invested
Not sure how but I will manifest it
Me and my grandma’s bond is really tied to this promise, if I'm honest, wish she was alive just to witness
 Her wish manifested, truth is, I’m going through a crisis, lost her four years ago, and I’ve never cried since
Sometimes chasing all these dreams doesn't make sense, been at it for years, but up to date it aint make cents
but I don't want her to hear me spouting all this nonsense, so instead, I make sure y’all know that to me, she imparted greatness

Dear grandma 
You see my future is a nightmare
’Cuz I got dreams and they haunt me
At the aint top aint where they want me
But I’mma get it up regardless
I still suffer from the heartbreak
Hard to open up, I'm guarded
Couldn't forget you if I tried it
I know you're listening and watching
We ain't deserve you, but God did
I know your spirit is where God is
I’m just praying for your guidance
Please guard me
This life has scarred me
Please guide me

AP Venom - Ooh Ahh (Remix)

 

AP Venom Ooh Ahh Remix - Fakaloice, Cassper Nyovest, Ricky Rick



When I pull up with the gang all the girls be like Ooh Aah… Genius Muzik’s golden spitter snaps on the Ooh Ahh remix. AP Venom plays with some trap elements but also maintains his rap roots on the Fakaloice, Cassper Nyovest and Ricky Rick single.




Hook
Ooh aah, Always tryna get the bag, got niggas like ooh aah
Ooh aah, Always tryna get the bag, got niggas like ooh aah
Ooh aah, Always tryna get the bag, got niggas like ooh aah
Ooh aah, Always tryna get the bag, got niggas like ooh aah
Verse 1
They be acting like they know me like bitch please
Wanna be a metal fan tryna grip steel
One time for my team, yeah, we win still
GmG till a nigga six feet
What I am is at the top of your wish list
Niggas don’t want war if it’s AP
(uh-uh)
Peep this
No retreat, kingly beast, dynamic. Rap or trap, aint no difference 
Give me the beat imma slaughter it
List me your top five, I’ll show them flames
Wasting no time on sight heads get decapitated
Before you send them, go prepare their grave
Stats going up in the murder rates
What you say? What you…
(Ooh aah)
Yeah, I’m out of your league, this is the red zone
More smoke than your lung could handle
Who wan’ it? I got it who want it?
(ooh aah)
(let’s do it like this, hehehe)
(You are watching a master at work)

Verse 2
If a rapper tries me, watch his confidence suffer
He’ll have to vaccinate it three times, that’s a confidence booster
If we’re talking AP, I’m the one and only
Golden spitter from GmG, position that I’m holding
A little bird told me, they saying….
AP Venom is too rapidy-rapidy, what I’m asking is what is happening
Half of you average ass rappers couldn’t handle me or hold a candle when I rap and spaz on a track
keeping it factual, can’t be impressed by your never-ending yapping when you’re lacking in facts
And I can’t be depressed hearing blab from irrelevant cats, so instead
Spare me the lecture, the picture I’m capturing should be captioned niggas is capping
Matter of fact, that fatal attraction has to be my favourite tragedy
Back to the rap, you’re an embarrassment, I’m an ambassador
This rap I rep to the max so if I clap, ain’t no clapping it back
So nigga relax and peep the distance from which I let loose of the shell
Let it run through your neck, as you’re leaving this earth and watch the red spread on your vest
And regret the moment you tried to mess with the best
It really is as simple as that, you get removed like a stain on a pen
I am the ink stain of the pen nigga
I got it, who wan’ it? 
Ooh aah
Nobody?
I thought as much

Lyrics


Woke up feeling Godly

Woke up feeling Godly

Niggas fake, that’s why I aint got too many around me

Niggas hate, but their girls fantasize about me

Bet he don’t know his main begging to be my side chick

Showed her my other side now she claims she likes me

And if she posts about it then she’d better hide me

It’s high risk, high risk

Know what I mean?

High risk

We’re the future, word to ma nigga Marley

Me, myself and I; I just gave you my top 3

Rappers looking like a meal, and AP is hungry

I aint tryna be nobody’s buddy, huh-uh, I aint come in peace

Jungle that raised me aint got no trees, just concrete

Grew up underrated, got treated like Rock Lee

Kamui, prodigy, I feel like Kakashi

Now I’m on Amaterasu, mangekyo Itachi

Always up to what I need to, hardly do what I please

Put in work behind the scenes, let these niggas doubt me

Bet they’re gonna wonder how a young nigga then got rich

Like why me

Why me X3

Yeah, I’m called Venom for a reason enter at your own risk

So if you’re acting like you’re blind and you ignore the warnings

You gonn’ catch a L, aint no need for no K53

So try me, and you’ll see

It’s high risk, high risk

Know what I mean?

High risk

Yeah, you don’t want your last memory to be AP unloading clips

You already know how it goes, drive by on a nigga with a Calico

More like

One wrong move, pull with a pole, strip you off your soul

Crew got problems? They can all follow, one after another, Dominos

Ini mini miny moe, if you get picked, adios

I’m that calm nigga, but if you push my buttons, you never know

They tryna bring up my past when they can see I’m letting go

My dreams are in sight, stay on the grind, I’m getting close

All that envy gonn’ have them asking themselves why him

Aint it obvious, I’m AP Venom nigga, that’s why me

That’s why me X4

Know what I mean?

AP Venom - Champagne Poetry Remix

 

AP Venom - Champagne Poetry Remix


AP Venom jumps on a remix of Drake's Champagne Poetry from the Certified Lover Boy album. This comes as no surprise as AP has been on a killing spree lately as seen on his remix of the Lemmon Pepper Freestyle. This time the GMG Golden Spitter goes deeper with the bars as he offer clear headed insight on his come up.




             


Champagne poetry AP remix Lyrics

AP Venom, couldn’t leave this one alone either

Let’s go, uh-uh

Dreams don’t mean nothing at all where I’m from

Mentally flawed, the only thought going forward is “get a job”

If you don’t conform to the norms your fam offers no support

I recall

Being told that art is a lost course

I was torn

Art and song is what I’m on this earth for

When I was born

I think art is what I held in my palm

When I write

I feel love course through my right arm

I said, I would change the world with the mic and my own voice

I remember being told for a boy I was quite soft

The same people you thought you ride for go and put up roadblock

With hopes I’d amount to nought, in their hearts they tied knots

Fast forward

Where I am is where you’re not (uh-uh-uh)

I’m a product of our cold society’s blind spot

So, I stare in awe at all my flaws and get that awkward response

I won’t conform, I’ll risk it all

Watch me transform and evolve

Cowards run; I’m moving calm. Harm will never cause me alarm

Impossible is a tale that I don’t harbour at all

I’m the sort of force that history forgot to record

The rare breed catalogue the future forgot to applaud

Failure is course that was sold and taught and most of y’all bought

So, the day you saw me fall, and even thought of pulling the cord

You also saw four flawed unicorns at dawn crossing your lawn

Venom a fire hazard, go and ring the alarm

For as long as I’m alive, hip hop will never die

 I was born for this, I was born for this

And this is why I…

keep my head up even when it’s pouring down, I am that fool

They’ll never love you unless they feel above you

See, they aint believe in me initially

But then, when they wrote me off, I stayed writing

I stayed grinding

Yeah, ‘cuz we was living in the…

 back of the back of the crib

Where I planted this lyrical seed

You can tell by the way that I spit

And also the lines that I spit

I’m a beast with the lyrical skill

Took a ride just the future and me

I hoped in the passenger seat

The 9? Then your melon I split

The mic? Then its fire I spit

I’m the last of the last of this breed

Before I throw you in the Lazarus pit

I’m thinking its better you quit

Or return when you’re better equipped

nigga

Lyrics
AP Venom
You know I had to get up on this
let’s go

For all you haters, here’s a message
I’m glad you hated, I graduated
You made it seem impossible, but then I made it
Yeah
Sometimes I wish my skin wasn’t this dark, and my hair? Maybe straighten it out
Who I am is enough to raise an alarm
But there’s nothing to see here, move it along
Long as my grandma watching me, I can never be harmed
Melanin’s a substance found in the stars
I’ve been a king since the beginning of time
Hurt the flesh, my soul can never be touched
Fame and fortune, I will reach those heights
Picture this; different cities on flights, touch down, tickets sold out, on stage steady gripping the mic
Until you see that, I’m not gonna die
I’m proud that I learn from my problems, I promise, you start a war I’ll probably finish it nigga
Go ahead and try it
Ever been in such a space in your heart so empty, and deserted that nobody hears you when you scream, and you shout
stay on my grind
I remember the times when I would cry, life was hard, and it seemed like I ain’t making it out
I can see most of y’all when you hate, and you doubt
Waste of your time, approval is something I’m living without

For all you haters, this is the message
I’m glad you hated
But then I graduated
I’m going back in

2018, the clearest sign of a come up
Played in New York, Chicago, Ireland and Ghana
Reviewed on YouTube, on radio, and scored an article
Niggas think that I’m stunting, I ain’t even tryna
I know niggas who ain’t hide that they were haters
If you ask the homie Tragic, he’s gonna tell you
But when we see them, they…nothing to say now
Whenever smoke is on the rise, I keep my head down
Low profile, but my grind is gonna stay up
Me versus them? That’s a lot of ground to cover
They couldn’t catch up even before I was a runner
I live in my mind, stare at the clock as the time goes
Unpleasant memories still hanging up on my wall
Sometimes it feels dark, healing traumas is a struggle
They don’t try to know me, and dismiss me as a weirdo
I’m no longer puzzled by no space I don’t fit into
Dancing with the angels when the devil tryna tango
Things you can never know looking through a tinted window
They ain’t help me build but they wanna knock at my door
Mirror reflection is the only time I see my equal
Next part of my story is better, wait for the sequel
If the vibe ain’t right then it’s goodbye, keep it simple
Judge me all you want, but I don’t like certain people
Like, if you’re cool, you’ll find I’m free spirited too
And if I see you’re fake, you’ll find I’m quick to throw up the deuce
My mind’s a device, it is vile and it’s evil
That’s why I say away from the cigs and the liquor
For a chick, I will never fight a nigga
At the slightest sign that she actually considers him, without a second thought I cut her off, he can keep her
Girls are still finding themselves, I guess it’s best to find a woman
They’re sleeping on me, I ain’t disturbing their snooze
Soon enough, I’ll be sitting on some million views
If it’s war then it’s war, I don’t settle for truce
Shoot ‘em down with success, leave them dead and confused
I owe credit to people who ain’t believe in me
Hate is a powerful tool if you know how to handle it
It’s because of y’all I painted a picture vivid as this
The future came to see me, the visit was bliss
It said if I fall silent, the vision will speak
‘Cuz I’ve been cooking for years, nobody bothered with
Taking a chance on the dish, but I perfected it
And I’ll tell you that love’s the main ingredient
Your favourite rapper just couldn’t get up on this beat
And if he did, he couldn’t kill it like I did
I’ve been a king, the pen is moving with ease
They say money changes the people around you
I guess being rich is gonna leave me with trust issues

Uh
For all you haters, here’s a message
I’m glad you hated, I graduated
You made it seem impossible, but then I made it
Amazing ain’t it?

AP Venom x Pauletta-2018 | Lyrics

Hook
-You’re covered in scars, you’re hurting
-But when you burn you learn
-I know one thing for certain
-you’re the definition of a soldier now, warrior
-I need you to hold it down
-They can hate if they want
- I won’t be phased, I won’t run
-Definition of a soldier now

Verse 1
-I say…
-Sum up 2018 in one word, lessons
-Sum up all your lessons in one word, blessings
-I found me a home in many hearts, too many mansions
-I’m not about to call nobody out, too many mentions
-When the road got rough, I hit the road and stayed healthy
-Enemies think they’ve got me figured out, they never met me
-Damn lately, I’ve been going through a lot of changes
-But I’m only going through them I promise they won’t change me
-I also made a lot of what we call friends
-Most of them won’t even text first
-Well, except for when they need help
-You see then, when life got ‘em drowning in the deep end
-The only time they realise there’s you in this existence, but oh well
-What can I do, I’m only human
-I can only whish them well, happy new years
-it’s true, yes. This year I’ll be quick to close curtains

Hook
-You’re covered in scars, you’re hurting
-But when you burn you learn
-I know one thing for certain
-you’re the definition of a soldier now, warrior
-I need you to hold it down
-They can hate if they want
- I won’t be phased, I won’t run
-Definition of a soldier now

Verse 2
-If there’s one thing I know that I’m not, selfish
-But people are weird, people are twisted
-I learned when you have a good heart, they take advantage
-But it never really gets them far, check their mileage
-A conversation about somebody’s life, don’t even start it
-Hit me up with something that could get us money in our pockets
-Tread carefully, gossip gets you misinformed
-Wonder why you always see me with my headphones on
-Last year I had to learn to cut people off
-Met a nigga in need, treated him like he’s my brother
-And I did it just to help him, not for favours
-But the same person had the nerves to steal from me
-Had me asking myself, like, am I kind or stupid
-I’m kind of stupid, I guess
-I fed you when no one would, how could you do me like that
-You don’t get what you give, I had to learn that fact
-I’m no longer who I was back then

Hook
-You’re covered in scars, you’re hurting
-But when you burn you learn
-I know one thing for certain
-you’re the definition of a soldier now, warrior
-I need you to hold it down
-They can hate if they want
- I won’t be phased, I won’t run
-Definition of a soldier now

Verse 3
-Man, I got real messed up second semester
-In September I lost my Grandpa
-Then in October I lost my Grandma
-To Grandma the queen who brought me up
-You said you wouldn’t make it, but I had my fingers crossed
-But you saw ahead of time, you were right all along
-You wouldn’t be around by the time I got this job, I’m really cross
-My goal was to get you everything you wanted
-I guess fate didn’t allow it
-It brings me so much pain when I think about it
-That I devised a plan, but it fell flat
-Time to face facts and really accept that time will never turn back
-And I can just sit back and blame it on the setbacks that I’ve had but instead, I’m just sad
-I need a life saver, my heart is drowning deep in regret
-Didn’t come and see you just as much as I should have
-it’s too late, I still remember when
-I told lame jokes and had you crack up, damn I really miss that
-Though my heart is filled with should have beens and could have beens

-In my heart you will never die, may you rest in peace…please
