This is a collaboration entry of me and @topkpop for the SML Challenge Week #8
The SML Challenge was created to provide an additional avenue for the musicians of Steemit who are chasing their dreams to be highlighted and earn some additional recognition, feedback, and rewards.
I was not going to join this contest, because I only write lyrics. There was a time I thought I could sing, but that is not now, and I don’t know how to spin beats… yet.
But that did not stop me from entering this contest.
@snook inspired me when she wrote her wonderful contest entry for Dr. Pepper, and I decided to look for some free beats on sound cloud.
I found the beat, listened for a while, thought about giving up, looked for more beats; discovered most free beats are a big scam, then went back to my original beat, and made it work.
After I tried my best to sing, I spared you all, and reached out to @topkpop for help with the vocals. She loved the song, and nailed it!!! Thank you so much!!!! She has also offered to produce a nice video from the footage I got while taking the photos, so stayed tuned for that!!!
I used the ladies from my Sim Girl legacy challenge to make the video.
I hope you enjoy this. I know we had a lot of fun making it!

Lyrics:
What’s it like growing up in the city;
Buildings tall with those neon lights.
Got it rough, but you know I’m looking pretty.
It’s going down in the streets tonight.
I got my boots tall; I’m punk rock.
Bouncing down to the club to start.
Got some cash from my visa card,
Showing up in style to break some hearts.
We’re going all out,
No way we’re gonna stop.
If you think you’re all that baby,
Come on show me what you got.
Can you feel this feeling?
Watch me as I’m reaching,
Up on to the ceiling;
Nothing like this healing.
All I want is more, more,
Let the music pour, or
Rock me to the core.
Just take me to the floor and,
Dance through the night.
I’m only me under these lights.
I’m gone; to the zone,
Where everything’s going to be all right.
What’s it like growing up in the city;
Dirty streets, and childish fights.
Got it tough, but you know I take no pity.
It’s going down in the streets tonight.
We’re going all out.
No way we’re gonna stop.
If you think you’re all that baby,
Come on show me what you got.
Can you feel this feeling?
Watch me as I’m reaching;
Up on to the ceiling.
Nothing like this healing.
All I want is more, more.
Let the music pour, or
Rock me to the core.
Just take me to the floor and,
Dance through the night.
I’m only me under these lights.
I’m gone; to the zone,
Where everything’s going to be all right.
What’s it like growing up in the city;
Buildings tall with those neon lights.
Got it rough, but you know I’m looking pretty.
It’s going down in the streets tonight.
