Dylan Owen - The Book Report

nah this is shit and it's also not underground. Don't think you've found something away from the mainstream, this shit sucks balls. Listen to Rejjie Snow or something.

Why does being underground make you instantly the best rapper ever? This is good, look how many people like it, just because one bad apple doesn't, don't try to infect the rest >->.

when did i say being underground makes you a better rapper. the other person was saying that this was underground and i was telling him it isnt. I also think the song's shit, which has nothing to do with whether or not its underground. Furthermore the people who like it dont understand hip hop in the slightest and most likely are pre-pubescent teenage girls. This is fucking whack.

I just wanna say your poetry inspired me to start making music. /watch?v=uCEiHpFlmss

A friend of mine just told me that she doesn´t like him .... An axe or the good old baseball bat ?

hockey stick, once it cracks it will become sharp

LOL wat

Rap stands for rhythm and poetry, so it still is rap, just not the stupid mainsteam stuff.

We're the suicide kids, we only think about ourselves and keep secrets like I won't tell

GREAT SONG your awesome you deserve so much more !

Dylan Owen, you're amazing! Honestly, your music keeps me alive. I can't stop listening to your songs, your music is true inspiration, not nowadays bullshit about sex, and drinking, you keep it real <3 You'll go far, I know it, keep making more.. !

Everyone we were here before this gets famous!

I remember when this had 60,000 views. Getting there Dylan, and you deserve every bit of it.

QUOTING "i cannot believe that people are actually saying they enjoy this or are even inspired by this. Regardless of what happened in the fucking hospital bed...you should have ended up in a coma from just writing this song. I am ashamed to be whiite and am no longer a proud white woman. Please don't listen to your friends or family. they are lying to you. Please for humanity, stop moing your mouth to music even if it's in your head. This video should be banned from media." Get to grinding.

I copy and pasted it from Jessica Autumn's channel feed.

Can someone give me an explanation about this song? I dont think it means what I think it means.

You deserve a lot more attention!

20 people never wrote a book report

Never disappointed

my favorite song by him. almost overall. new music soon??!?!?!

That's why i love Rap

How is he not insanely famous? This song is amazing. My brother showed it to me and I immediately loved it. Great music from a talented guy.

I've got to meet this guy.

HEY NICOLE!!! :D

Every one of his songs is a master piece :)

So they asked me to.. to do a report on this story that I was reading
And I was like aiight aiight I can do that you know
I can work with that, I'll work with anything whatever

You are my favorite miracle, I've seen you in a field of marigolds
But I'm glad I don't have to give my prayers to you
'Cause I know we'll make it through whatever happens

I don't get how we proceed I just care that you know me
I got bags under my eyes like I've been carrying groceries
For a long time with a strong mind brought up on the wrong side
Of the railroad cross-slide where my grandma says they all die
But, if you think about it every soldier fights for compromise
I can't predict the future but we all can prophesize
On your bedroom floor where I promised I would never grow up
I think since then I've seen we all eventually go
To that white hospital bed we watched your dad laying
Almost turned into a ghost, ghost I know you've had a bad day
but that's okay buddy cause  swear to god I'm by your side
and i'll be with you anytime you say you're down to ride
so here I am in the midst of feeling tired
watching fireworks from your garage in old facades that will retire
I only recently believed that we got tires
in our souls that don't get weary anytime we go to drive them

We are the suicide kids
We only think about ourselves and keep secrets like I wont tell
And up on suicide hill
When we climbed high as hell, we used to hide out and try to find ourselves
We are the suicide kids
We only think about ourselves and keep secrets like I wont tell
And up on suicide hill
When we got high as hell, we used to hide out and try too hard to find ourselves

And so I started liking English, it managed my expressions
and felt like wet cement, it could carry my impressions
What if the butterflies inside our stomachs are still hatching
Or imagine that we search the dirt pile and find the hatchets
That we buried
In light of all this fate that I still can't believe
you left it on the trampoline when you were barely teen
I mean, we traveled to September, the summer killing month
And missed the cigarette kisses, and the poems that I wrote that sucked
But on that white hospital bed, you watched your brother cry
Now I swear I'll shave my head, grow out my hair some other time
Cause I've been fighting things myself, I could be a savior
I cleaned my room and emptied out those medicine containers
So that I could take this pencil, the one meant for the book report
Use up all it's graphite on emotions I've been looking for
lose myself inside a childhood of looking for it
well whatever, life just took it's course
I hope you're looking for

The suicide kids
We only think about ourselves and keep secrets like I wont tell
And up on suicide hill
Where we climbed high as hell, we used to hide out and try to find ourselves
We are the suicide kids
We only think about ourselves and keep secrets like I wont tell
And up on suicide hill
When we got high as hell, we used to hide out and try too hard to find ourselves

You are my favorite miracle, I've seen you in a field of marigolds
But I'm glad I don't have to give my prayers to you
'Cause I know we'll make it through whatever happens
You are my favorite miracle, I've seen you in a field of marigolds
But I'm glad I don't have to give my prayers to you
'Cause I know we'll make it through whatever happens

And on that white hospital bed
we'll watch each other lie and swear that it's forever
On the tattoos that we cover 
I don't believe in miracles, but I have at other times
And I believe that I could carry all your troubles
I swear
On that white hospital bed
We'll watch each other lie and swear that it's forever
On the scars that we cover
I don't believe in miracles, but I have at other times
And I believe that I could carry all your troubles

I swear that I'mma take this pencil
The one meant for the book report
Use up all it's graphite on emotions I've been looking for
Lose myself inside a childhood of looking for it
Well whatever, life just took it's course
I hope you're looking for

The suicide kids
And every person that you haven't met
and all the perfect places that we haven't been to yet
All the cameras in the passed out floors that I haven't mentioned yet
You give 'em hell kid and never let yourself forget
Cause we've all got higher hills to climb regardless of our depths
But I would never look to suicide if I had nothing left
I would simply form a smile thinking back on all my friends
And read the book report I wrote so many years ago again

This dude is about to get huge... 
Sub number 13,351 :]

I cried

"So that I can take this pencil, the one meant for the book report. Use up all it's grafit on emotions I've been looking for..."

And that's why he should be famous

This is my favorite song of yours, love your words and it is a beautiful way of showing them.

my fav song on this planet 😙

yo your like Chris webby dawg but your a lil bit better cuz you rap about real shit that happened at your age and this song reminds me of high school writing a dumb ass book report

besides rapping what does he do for a living

I was watching a mafia 2 video back in 2010 and this song was on the outro I looked the song up and was hooked brings back some great memories

2011 was the first time I heard of Dylan Owen from my older brother ... 7 years later still can't get enough

Anybody still rocking this song since 2010?!

Are you ever going on tour? I need to hear these songs live 💜

It’s not fair how you along with the rest of the other up coming rappers of your time don’t get the views you deserve..
Cam Meekins, Chris Webby, Fortune Family, Chiddy Bang, Huey, Hoodie, and you. It feels like the only ones that made it are Logic and G -Eazy.

I miss this

Anyone know what the instrumental is called? Sounds so familiar. Maybe its just inherited in my mind because of trickshot days? Anyone know it?

goood for montages

Man this is my all time favorite from you. It helped so much during my teens. I love your music so much man wish you were able to make it even bigger, you deserve it really <3

Anyone from 2021?

Still love this in 2021. Dylan a true poet

Dylan, i want you to know so badly how important this song was to my life. It didnt save my life, i wasnt going to kill myself. I had already fought past that point. However this song is what got me into music, it got me so obsessed with you music man. Every song you write so poetically has more than enough wisdom to completely shift the listeners perspective in so many ways. Your albums are the most beautiful and meaningful that i have ever come across and it only helps that im 2 years younger than you. All the emptions and issues you adress in your music are the ones i am currently going through. Long story short, the day I listened to this song on accident, you did more with your music than you could have ever imagined.

2021 it never gets old.i promise

Wow! Still listening to this song. This was my childhood. Thank you man. Thanks for helping me through a lonely highschool. For some reason I could really relate to these lyrics. Once more: thank you.

we all listened when we were younger. why not still support this dude now. lets blow up his new stuff!
