This is an older song of mine that I wanted to share for this contest. Let me know what you guys think:
Lyrics:
Sometimes I dont wanna stand anymore
Sometimes it feels like I shouldn’t plan to be more
Sometimes I don’t soar, just land on the floor
They ask why I cry, I didn’t plan to be poor
Yea.. I wanted mansions galore,
but what I had in my hands, what I wouldn’t give for more
They call it youth, I call it open heart,
Cuz that’s what I had before it all got torn apart
Before it cracked and collapsed,
before it got those scars,
Before when I saw stars,
I saw that incandescent light,
and damn, it was worth the fight
But after many nights,
of sittin here depressed
I have no sense to stand up
I just sit instead...
It’s easier to not try,
and might succeed, then give everything and still cry
So I just sit and vibe...
Hopin I open eyes...
I open yours and your open mine,
and over time, we can regain all the shine, it is yours and it is mine
So that’s what I do now,
Come on...
look at me and you now
Come on...
look into a new sound
Come on...
Look into my eyes now
And see that we are one
I know I can do anything I want to do
If I choose, to follow the light
You can too, you can follow it if you choose
So come follow me
See I don’t wanna be, Another one of these
Rapper wanna bes, trying to be some other thing
It’s what their not, Gotta only be yourself
Nothing else will help, you can get the belt
They can say your beast,
But in ten years from now, will you still stand on your feet?
Or will you see defeat? See I all I wanna be is free, and hopefully I’ll eat
But even if not, I can still say I was me
So that’s what I do now,
Come on...
look at me and you now
Come on...
look into a new sound
Come on...
Look into my eyes now
And see that we are one
When people despise,
When you can not hide,
The world it’ll lie,
Tell you what is right,
Tell you what is life
Tell you when to fight
But you should always look inside
Beneath all of the ego, you are selfless every time
Now think about that rhyme, and think about it hard
We both have broken hearts,Should we give in or depart?
If I could only be a part to help you realize the truth,
You are looking for a savior, but the savior it is you
