Description
It has been too long since I've dropped a song here on the site. To be honest I have been almost completely occupied with work. I wish I had more time to check everyone out here, but hopefully if things go my way I will.
...Anyway...
This is another one of those songs I made on deployment, but never got around to finishing. The original beat was made overseas and the lyrics were written between there and back home. This song has gone through 3 different versions, and it wasn't until recently that I stripped the entire beat and made a new music bed altogether. I may post the other two versions on icomp or something, but for now enjoy the latest incarnation of this Jam.

Lyrics
verse 1
I've got a love for the life I lead
The life I chose;
The prose that I might compose
What I write in rows is like light to those
Within the dark when my mic explodes
Try to keep my actions positive despite the woes
Of these runway rappers trying to strike a pose
There's no telling what they might propose
In a Black made genre that is white controlled
But you wont see me shucking and jiving
Or barely surviving;
I'm trying my best to keep rising and prosper
My goal is to foster progress
We all get tested
And some get blessed with success and left with abundance among us to share the rest with
Those with less get assistance and new commitments for those who see the goal and want to go the distance.
chorus
Uh say what to the boogie to what to rock steady
To the beat bang over the drum
I said a like-to-like-to-like this
I said a like-to-like-to-like that
Sure shot on the rhythm I rock for ya'll
If you can't back the culture its not for ya'll
But if you are Hiphop mind, body, and soul then you know that we cannot be stopped at all
verse 2
If the truth hurts
does that make me a masochist because I want the truth first
Things are hard, but they can do worse
But despite that fact I do my best to bright the light with every new verse
Life is too short to dismiss reality
Or to get by on some technicality
I exist for my family
And the legacy I leave to contribute to humanity
Bringing order to calamity
Its like the entire world is on the brink of insanity
If its not the mistrust its the vanity
Or some complex to make the people panicky
You have to have faith in yourself
Awaken yourself
Stop taking yourself for granted
Realize you have the advantage
And endowed with the ability to manage
