Description:
This is a beat that is dear to my heart. I made it the other morning, ad God blessed everything to come together. This is the first time that I heard the melody and the beat in my head and was able to successfully transfer into real music. The lyrics are part of two different poems or raps that i wrote. One is explaining the ministry of this life and the other is a Valentines to my mother. Be blessed ya'll Christ Reigns!

Lyrics:
Far ffrom Home
with my boots in the dirt
Lookin up to the heaven
my Lord placd me on earth

Just for a season
i Cant head home
Gotta make it through this
To earn my place near the throne.

Flesh and Bone
with A chocolate skin tone
Curls in my head
spiriyual vessel to be fed

No more heavenly manna
Just that physical matter
Need nutrion
now A hunter and Gatherer

-------------------------------
Gotta walk this path
it aint just a tour
Its a sin sick world
And Christ is the cure.

His Grace and Holy spirit
Coursing through my soul
Got the Power and the light
feels good to be whole

through the pain and Hurt
Now my body is the church
God Made me in his image
Now he dwells in this dirt

What's a young man to do
if he wants to stay true
to the cross, save the lost
Its the time to choose
----------------
Roses are red
Olive oil is slick
This is a happy Valentines
From your kid

i thank you for your Love
That only a momma could give
A true to life example
Of how a parent should live

Christ in your right hand
And sea salts in the left
Of all the Valentines
Momma You are the best

This is a card
in song format
From a son to a mom
Its the Valentines Rap
---------------------------------------
Now to clear the slate
So everyone will know
Jesus is Love
This is true fo Sho

When he made you
He must of Broke the mold
A sprinkle of vinegar
and Essential oils in a bowl

Rose petals when your happy
And Garlic when your sad
thats Too much bleach
must mean your glad

Mom is Wow
upside down
So when you stART TO FROWN
JUST FLIP IT AROUND

but for hip-hop rap, i think it is nice not to hear about you having to kill a brother in order to get some respect. very nice. couple of tips if i may. first and foremost; pop filter. if you hold the mic or have it on a stand, there is no difference. take a wire hanger, some panty hose, and duct tape.
bend the hanger into a loop about 4-5 inches in diameter. leave a 'tail' of hanger to attatch to the stand, or for you to hang onto while holding the mic. take one leg of the panty hose and pull it around the loop, cutting off and duct taping the end of it at the lowest point of the loop as close as you can to the wire, so you dont cut off any of the sound hole. if you have a stand, duct tape it to the stand in a way that you can adjust it in front of the mic, and move it closer or farther away to your comfort. if you are holding it, make sure you have at least an inch of air space from your face to the mic. and try not to have the filter touch the mic, or it wont work right. you could also duct tape the filter to the mic directly, i have done that before as well. i like to hold the mic sometimes when i sing, so that works for me.
one more tip;
experiment with the vocal compression settings, the track reverb, and the eq settings. for vocals, i like a nice vocal room reverb, or a drum room reverb. i dont use the reverb sliders, or the echo sliders, cause i dont think you can control them enough. try and get a touch more high end out of you vocal track. it sounds a bit muddy, and flat. your performance will go from night to day with less "p"ops, and more shine on the eq. great stuff, and keep experimenting.

I appreciate the lesson. I will take you up on that. I have been trying to figure out a way to get vocals to sound nice. If I can get the vocals together than I will probably start to write more also.
