Hello Steemit!!
This is my submission for this weeks Steemit Open Mic contest by @pfunk and @luzcypher. This week I perform my first original song. As well as my first electric guitar song and my first rap song all in one! The first part of this song was all written about 13-14 years ago when I was still rather young and reckless and had been experiencing the hardships of living though a wildfire and the subsequent flash flooding afterwards. The last part is something I wrote recently for a killer beat by @riggsyfort... and I thought it went well at the end of the first part so... I made a little jam on the guitar and let it all flow!
Lyrics -
Life isn't always happy and nice
You never know the next roll of the dice
Maybe a fire, maybe a flood
Maybe your house gets filled full of mud
I got holes in my walls, got holes in my floor
Wonder why my room looks different than before?
All my shit, well it is now trash
But I still got a pipe and a stash
You know it's the only thing that keeps me alive
I'm so happy when the herb arrives
What if you're living on parole and on dope
Just staying out of jail by the thread of a rope
And your car broke down cause it is so wasted
Smell reminds me of fumes that I've tasted
My girlfriend left me, to bad
All she ever did was just make me mad
And treat me like I was a fad
She stopped loving me and it made me sad
Tweakers, stealing my shit
It's the way of the world nothing I can do about it
Lock all my windows and lock all my doors
If you see them, lock it up if it's yours
Police chillin' when they come
With a half ounce of herb and a bottle of rum
And I'm sitting on the curb and their talking shit
But I don't fight back because I'm not a fucking idiot
Jon Langley.. he's different
Got Knocked out in an Instant
Life, trials and tribulations
Uncertainties and miscalculations
I'm not sure if I'm going up or down
Just cruisin' with the universe feeling the sound
My perception, is the only thing I know
It's the way that I learn, It's the way that I grow
I'm responsible for me, I reap what I sow
Karma will come to all
Thanks for listening!!
