Description
colab with 7732...added some horns and a synth on the chorus but otherwise the beat is all his. This song is about taking that one last step when you think you can't make it and doing all you can to live your own life instead of giving in to living according to everyone else's standards.

Lyrics
All that you get is this one life
Only got these years to live
So when you get your shot
You better put out all that you got to give
rap 1 -
I've had to live through ups and downs
Smiles and tears
Joys and the fears I've found
I'm here because I've made it through the best and the worst
I had to learn not to fall down
Just cause it hurts
See I been fighting since the day I breathed in first
Long days short nights makes the sunrise hurt
Trying to stand up, when I just want to rest
And when I'm feeling my lowest I know I gotta be best
I take a step but
Every time it's a test
Will I stand where I should or crumple under this stress?
When life gets tough
Each breath is hard to digest
So there's a couple things I want to get off my chest
Chorus -
These things in mind - I will
Push through the night - I see
The light I will
Make it through one more day.
Sometimes it hurts - I write
One more rhyme and verse - One more
Night and I'm sure all this will fade
rap 2 -
See it all keeps coming (coming)
Gotta keep up I can't stop running (running)
And some days I feel like I'm just gonna drop
But I'll step over that finish line before I stop
And I may not buy chains or planes or sit on top
But see I say that my name is yNot
And that's just for now
Untill I put down my pen
But when I pick up that mic I come back again
My life is telling this story
Nobody's living it for me
Yeah I'm a little different
But no, I'm not sorry
Why should I be held back
From voicing my thoughts when
No matter what
It seems like everone else can
Just cause I got a different perspective
I'm not in
But I don't need the industry to tell me I'm not them
I was set apart from the beginning
I walked in
My mind set on speaking my piece
Not the top ten
Chorus
I get up when I fall (get up when I fall)
On my feet I'll stand tall (feet I'll stand tall)
Through anything at all (anything at all)
'Till I hit the wall (Till I hit the wall)
All you get's this one life
Only got these years to live
So when you get your shot
It's worth all you got to give
rap 3 -
You get this one life
A few days, few nights
Opportunites to become a true light
A fool might
Try to break you down
But a, warrior, will always hold his ground
So if there's nothing you believe in and you follow the crowd
Man what you gonna be then the identity you found
Isn't even your own
That's why I made my choice
To stand out and when they ask me to
I'll raise my voice
I could get through anything knowing
That not matter what comes I'm holding
My head up on my two shoulders
But when I don't think it could get colder
I'm shaking uncontrollably, freezing
But I know what I believe in
And I finally found my reason
So do you know the meaning of the life you're leading
Chorus
Only got these years to live
So when you get your shot
You better put out all that you got to give

lengold
excellent. Very professional. You have a great singing voice. Only small crit is that it all seems to be in the right ear - maybe you could play with panning a bit.
Cheers
