Huh
I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort
Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs
Bet that, head crack, blunt force
Cozy with the east Africans up north
Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law
Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone
Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword
Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God
'03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne
Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs
Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off
Long way to go, we already came far
Story stayed the same, it was never madе up
Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it
When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em
It's a new day, who got all the aces?
Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead?
Who sit up straight when the roof caved in?
Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it
Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen
Cup runneth over the brim
Bust open, there's no closin' the lid
Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance
Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it
Five O's on me like the Olympics
Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it"
Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple
Not religious, we was really out Philly
Livin' on the fly tryna wing it
We got us a fire to rekindle
Redirect the fight where it's meant for
Triumph over plight and immense loss
Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts
Caught a couple slights and I veered off
Saw another height, had my ears poppin'
Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
Uh, niggas still drummin'
Foot shook ground when I stepped on it
Didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
And I didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright
Yessir, this nigga spittin'

I love dashes but I also love semi colons. I feel conflicted, author bros.

Semicolons are only fun to use intentionally improperly and then wait for the reaction

Use em-dashes—my favorite dash—like this; semi-colons like this.

Yuck, my least favourite dash—only used by philistines and Untermensch—the em-dash; a good semi-colon beats it any day.

I used semicolons often before, but have since abandoned them. A period does the same job, looks better, and is less pretentious. I've kept the em dash though.

A period or a colon is good enough for straggots

The example sentence should use a semicolon tho. Dashes are good for sudden, violent interruptions - they jump at the reader. Semicolons let you join together related thoughts; these clauses might otherwise form different sentences.

Oft-forgotten, hyphens join words. En dashes give ranges—pp 14–88, for example—while em dashes offset interruptions or asides.

Not sure what an em dash is but I believe I use them a lot.

It's a dash that is the same width as an uppercase M. An en dash being the same width as an N.
Only exceptional individuals tend to use em-dashes due to the sheer size. Takes a lot of balls.

I use em dashes a lot but my copyeditors—losers all—remove them.

An em dash is a versatile punctuation which unites two very similar sentences without using a full period between them—you can even change the subject entirely.
You can even use it for parenthetical interjection—some find it a better emphasis than distracting like parentheses—among other uses.

People hate simplicity. It's why "ain't" and "y'all" were denigrated for most of my life.

I noticed too many of my sentences are two thoughts with a conjunction+comma between them, so I started using em dashes a lot more.

That settles it. Don't try to hide behind principle or even your own pathetic cowardice as an excuse anymore.
You're just an evil motherlover.
Hope the pibbles get you eventually.
Or you finally realize that, yes, you DO take pleasure in causing animals pain, and in a brief moment of lucidity you relieve us of your existence with a shotgun.
Your body would be more useful to society as dog food than in it's current state.
