Rep is back and you’re gonna be in trouble

To be clear - I don't want to neg rep Mitch - just his posts.
It begs the question: Is a man's reputation based solely on the sum of the rep of all his posts? Perhaps. Only time will tell. And, since time heals all; there will be equilibrium in the end.
 
I walk on the dusty, old road scuffing my shoes and kicking the loose rocks.
I cover my face to protect it from the scorching hot sun and the hot wind blowing dust into my eyes.
I turn left and walk towards my old brick house.

It's been a year since it we've last seen Reputation, and that was a month of heavy Rep in winter.
After that Rep never seemed to flow again apart from the small occasions of Rating.

I step outside to eat my banana and notice dark clouds heading towards us in the distance.

I lazily walk over to my neighbours and talk about the return of Reputation, everyone's so amazed.
Today could be the day we're not in a continuous drought!

Bangs of thunder go off and a strike of lightning.
Everyone runs to their computers and locks doors to stop the Rep from blowing them open.
Buckets of Rep start to pour, creating erections all over the place.
I sit near the window close to the front door staring at the Reputation pouring down rapidly.
After an hour the Reputation starts to slowly drip and we all walk outside.
I walk through the mud, down to the bottom of the hill to the lake and stare at the lake full of Rep.
I run back to the house avoiding the mud puddles and wait for the Rep to slow again.
 
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of rep
I take a look at my rep and realize there's no rep left
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never negged a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how ya talkin' and where ya walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kind of G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight

We've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the reputation paradise

Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams

I'm a educated fool with reputation on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a rep'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool

rep ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away
I'm livin' my rep do-or-die, uh, what can I say?
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
The way things is going, I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we rep are you and me?

We've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the reputation paradise

Power and the reputation, reputation and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin'
What's going on in the kitchen? But I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't, I guess they won't, I guess they front
That's why I know my rep is out of luck, fool

We've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the reputation paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the reputation paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we rep are you and me?
