After reading the songs that other people here have written, I was inspired to try to write a song on my own. So I wrote this song, and this is the first real song I've ever written, so it's probably not as good as other songs people have written. So tell me what you think of it. I want honest feedback and advice so I can improve! Ok well here it is:
"All It Takes"
Lately I feel like I`ve been having this dream
That I would get up on a stage and just start to sing
My heart out, telling people how I feel
The crowd`s feeling my vibe and it felt so ill
But I never ever thought that this dream could come true
But it turns out anything can happen to you
You can do anything as long as you try
Add a pair of wings to your heart and you know you can fly
You could fly so high you could touch the sky
You have what it takes, don`t try and deny
Don`t take my word for it, go ahead, try it out
And soon enough, you`ll see what I`m all about
CHORUS
All it takes is a little inspiration
To reach your destination
All it takes is a little dedication
To reach the point of inflation
Where you feel like you can do anything
As long as you stay committed and follow your dreams
It`s really not as hard as it seems
All it takes is a little inspiration
I was inspired by other hip hop artists
Who write great rhymes that are smart and honest
They`re not just rapping about whack old things
That have no apparent point or meaning
They`re talking about things going on in life
Along with the stress and pain they have to strive
Of course these people are going to have a stash
But they aren`t rapping just to get some cash
They`re proving to the world that they can do something
Instead of sitting around like a bum doing nothing
They`re showing everybody what they can do
And trust me, the same thing can happen to you
You could be well-known, you could be discovered
But it won`t ever happen if you don?t uncover
Don`t take my word for it, go ahead, try it out
And soon enough, you`ll see what I`m all about
CHORUS
It makes me sick, I`m telling you
When I don`t see credit given where it`s due
To the people who dedicate their lives to their dreams
And all the critics want to do is make a scene
I`m talking about people like Will Smith and LL Cool J
They`ve been around a long time and still go a long way
Why is it that some rappers` albums go multiplatinum
When the ones that deserve it get gold as maximum?
Probably `cause there`s not enough publicity
There songs don`t get played on the radio or aired on tv
But these people have true fans that recognize
The true meaning of hip hop through their own eyes
Don`t take my word for it, go ahead, try it out
And soon enough, you`ll see what I`m all about
CHORUS (2x)
