A Song I Wrote..

[bitcoin]

Hello everyone!  

 

I was writing a few lyrics earlier in school and when I came home I decided to write some more.. This is what came out. Unforunetely it is a rap, as of this point, but I plan to make it into more of a bob seger kind of rock n roll song... 

 

Anyone have any thoughts? 

 

Here it is .. 

 

I'll rearrange your thoughts, you can call me an innovator.

Making the world a better place you can call me a hater, 

Or a creator. Its whichever you prefer.

It doesn't matter to me, as long as you get what you deserve.

 

Changes can be big, and they can be small

But at this point, to improve the world, we've got to change it all

Welfare is the destruction, of The Family

And every war imaginable ends up in misery.

 The war on drugs and the war on poverty. 

Theres more people in US prisons, than in Nazi Germany

 

We are forced to pay, for our own indoctrination, 

and they rob us at gun point, in the form of taxation

The system has been designed, to lack a system,

So everytime they exploit, not a mind is given

To the insanity. The mayor of toronto, broke testimony,

He broke a few laws, including smoking some crack, 

But people don't seem, to be talking about the facts.

The man had to converse and connect with other people,

But not a single politician, pointed out his that he was evil

The incompetence of the government is completely absurd

But I have seen enough from them, its time they get what they deserve

Join the free market, and support voluntary transactions, 

Otherwise don't pretend that you're for peaceful interactions.

 

Why have we created, a "system" of obstacles?

Let's create awareness, and a world of objectivist goals

Permaculture is important, and so is equality, 

But if we can't stop the violence, we will never be free

Violence stems out of, abuse and neglect,

Better parenting is the only way to build a world of success

 

Stop believing the lies and change your perspective, 

Recognize propaganda, and other means of deception

I believe we can thrive, and create a better future

But that all depends on you, and every other individual.

As Aristotle wrote "He who has overcome his fears, will be free"

We must take into account that change will not come easily

 

Personal gain, and incentives are a large part of life.

While we recognize these things, we must choose what is right

Im glad I've expressed myself, very openly,

We must live with ethics, and life virtuously

If we want meaningful connections, we must aim for that

Be yourself, no one else, and don't settle for less.

Hi Jake,

 

Hope all is going well with family. I'm not into rap much so I just read it as poetry. Loved it.

 

Also love Bob Seger. Not sure if he is still touring, but I saw him live in Nashville, TN in 1980 on his Against the Wind tour. The sax player was incredible as was Bob on the piano. Extremely talented man and a wonderful band. Still in my memory as my favorite concert. Would love to hear your style with some Seger influence.

Hey VillageWisdom ! Exactly... It is poetry : ) . If I can use my lyrics and create a nice song with it... I honestly think it has the potential to go somewhere. I have tons of lyrics like this I have written for the past few months and when I get the time I might try to put em together into a song. I am not very good at the guitar though ! 

 

In any case I appreciate it ! Personally I thought what I wrote was pretty good ... Atleast for being written within an hour or two..

Hey, Jake, nice composition. Needs a sound though!!! It would be great if there was more music component of FDR as in producing material. I think it would have a good audience to appeal to. Keep it up! ;-)
