Description:
colab with Chief Thunder Bear...not sure if the vocals are quite right yet but let me know what you think.
...Don't play inside the lines everyone else uses, push the limits and be who you know you should be...
Lyrics:
V1
In my chest the heart of a lion
kindles a fire that burns
so you know I'm alive
just look in my eyes
and each fight I face
dig deep down inside
to find
that last ounce of strength to keep me upright
and push back the critics and lies come quick as they might
dragging me the wrong way pull myselft to the right
gotta stay focused on these words
they're more than just lyrics
see I spit from my soul so what I write down is my spirit
and I don't analyze and edit each verse I just hear it
clearly I don't know what to expect from my pen when I'm near it
and in my mind this paper's just comsumed as I steer it
over these lines
then use it as fuel for seven more rhymes
eleven more times
enough for whatever they try
many may die by these lies
I pray never will I
(Ch)
Pushing my limits - I wont just walk away
I wont fall down when the wind blows
I could stand here for days
Pushing Limits - scream at me spit in my face
it don't matter you can hate but you'll never get me to change
Pushing the limits - Not waiting for your "ok" I was given this ability my very first day
I was made to push limits with the words that I say
so I wont hesitate bringing something new into play.
V2
When I search in myself I always come up a little short
Then I look up above and He always gives me a little more
divine inspiration, there's no other explanation
I've been given the passion that comes out clear on these pages
and I'm implementing my right to speak out in a nation that needs a change
cause when I look these kids in the face I'm
- torn-
something seems ways outa place
cause we live according to someone else's expectations,
but I got not obligation to sound
like what I hear on radio stations
I'd only be wasting
your time with what I'm saying
this is hip hop in a different form
pushing the limits of what listeners consider the norm
I'm not rapping for money, girls, fame or cars
I want to motivate you
to look at where you are
cause if you could have one thing, would you ask for wealth
or would you stop and think of somebody else before yourself?
(Ch)
V3
Yeah, I know MC's are supposed to be cold,
but not me, 'till I'm gray and old
I'll be the same I wont fold
I'll be real on these tracks but to this I hold
never waste a breath in an attempt to fit some stereotypical mold
I try to be bold with what I say
but I already told you today
I can only be me - and -
the limits that once held me back are gone
and those that still remain I attack with this song
white or black
republicans, democrats
sing along
this is for all of you who've ever been told you don't belong
they were wrong (they were wrong)
when you overcome adversity that's how you become strong
so stand up, brush off your shirt and move on
become strong, stand up, and move on
(ch)

I know you said the vocals aren't quite right...
Try doubling on the vocals more especially in the chorus. I think it would really help out "pushing my limits".
Also adding some sound effects might bring it out more.
I like the content and the beat though. [ Reply to This ]
