The Constant Stride

I finally had time to record my song. There's a story on the page. The song is something different for me, but I like it. And finally, the vocals are clear, no feedback.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=186572

There's no hook, it's just me rapping the whole way through. I don't really expect anyone other than me and the girl who fueled this song to know exactly what I'm talking about, but it helps to know that she just turned her back on me without reason. Music became my lady.

Here's the lyrics:

-I remember when my phone would shake 45 times in a day

That’s 15 smiles to my face

-Looking to the future, it would only get brighter

Nowadays I’m the dude tryin’a bum ya candle-lighter

-I was runnin’ till the earth shook

You want my raw story? Here’s the first look

-On top of the world, every day brought the love

All because of this girl, now it’s gone, that’s rough, life’s tough

-Had enough, brought an audience out their seats

Friends gone wrong running like a track meet

-Emotion as you smack me, took Hip Hop to bring back me

The late-night owl, prey on the lookout for the prowl

-A hunter, to those he loved, he was a gunner

A runner, was crushed the feelings of the summer

-A trip he had, but now he’s mad

Confused and sad, to lost, a dad

-Everything’s gone wrong, everything’s been changing

Alone cause of some people’s rearranging

-Explosions brought erosions to the life he knew

Sinned before, time to pay his due

-Secluded, social silence had intruded

Tried to shrug it off, but the problem’s deep rooted

-A little time off became a permanent thing

Clenched his fist around invisible rings

-A survivor, he couldn’t deny her

His mind would try to fight her

-The four walls held him back

He couldn’t understand, his mind would rack

-Self-attack, crazy thoughts sprung forth

Nothing left to do but question his own worth

-A drifter, desire turned to anger

Through it all, became a stranger

-His own best friend, in the end, was he

Ready, he’d be at work on the steady

-A Yeti, a legend of his own

Had some demons to dethrone

-Not dead yet, not exposing the red yet

The Drive, just needed places to direct it

-Found inside, rhythmic thoughts

Music brought him back by the grace of God

-Something to love, something to give him love back

A painkiller for all the feelings that stacked

-Perception of deception was a monster inside

All for one, could uncover the secrets that they hide

-The reasons that they lied, the choosing of the sides

He tried, had to blow this up wide

-He opened up his mind to the people he knew, the things we do

Why we do them, it just threw him

-Greed, deception, all a recollection, still didn’t answer his question

Giving up never was suggested, mind feeling tested

-Hate arrested, thoughts were vested

Put a smile on but his feelings were gone

-Journey’s been long, but he knows it’s a beginning

Second winning, another chapter for the spinning

-Pages torn, writes a song

Writes till dawn, he records in the morn

-Process, so enveloped he could never stop this

Makes the most, of free days to boast

-A Hip Hop host, forsaken by most

The star of the toast, the star of the roast

-He asks what’s left, commits the theft

He steals the hearts, it’s just the start

-Destroys the charts, creates the bonds

He makes the songs, he makes the songs

Please tell me what you think, I appreciate all the feedback I can get!

God Blessa!

Its all good, but I would really like you to rap a track in a really happy and expressionfilled way, you know like FP did in his old school tracks like Girls Aint Nothin But Trouble, I think you would sound a lot like FP then :)

Thanks, I said after my last song that the next one would be a funny one, I lied. I'm saying it again though, the next song will be something to smile to.

God Blessa!
