Steemit Open Mic Week 8

I recorded this with my go pro, though the vocals are recorded with pro tools.

This is a live performance and so nothing has been edited.

Enjoy

What this song means to me

This song is very special to me because it's quite personal. It's a somewhat cryptic telling of my journey through life thus far, the struggles I've had to overcome as an artist, and how I'm determined to create music that resonates.

I've never truly felt accomplished as a hip hop artist and still feel like I have a lot to learn, this song however feels like a milestone in my development.

I'm really excited to share the official release for this track with you all but unfortunately you'll have to wait until the rest of my EP is ready to be released. There's no release date for it because I've decided to be patient and take my time with it. I'm also studying music production so I can produce the whole thing myself.

Lyrics

Intro

I've been searching everywhere that I go,
for a place that my soul can finally call home,
until that feelings atoned,
what's next is unknown,
this path is my own,
and all I've got is my flow.

Verse 1:

It's Sensei Teekay, I'm back again,
this time a little crazed,
because I'm going insane,
finding my place in a world that's turning deranged,
stuck with pocket change because I refuse to race,
still my Rockets are aimed to blow the stage,
now that I've had a taste it's infused like it's laced,
ready to break out of the cage, feeling enraged,
infuriated at old ways cause I needed a change,
now I'm soaking in rays,
UV on the brain,
swelling these waves,
reminding me to behave,
and remain the same,
now the name is unchanged,
no need to say it again,
there isn't time to waste,
as I perfect on my game,
become in touch with the soul,
behold what's next to unfold,
submerged inside of my brain,
these stories I mold,
'til I'm trapped in a grave,
what I'll be spitting is gold

Verse 2:

Feeling like I was hexed,
not knowing what's next.
just flowing til I'm wrecked,
like I've got nothing left.
feeling contempt cause habits are hard to forget,
years of neglect,
misguided intellect,
forgotten respect,
stuck at the bottom like I was out of my depth,
hard to keep it fresh,
with the extra pressure on the chest,
dove into darkness like I was searching for Lochness,
taking sequential steps to place in my contest,
instead I found a purpose,
helping me to resurface,
coming back with a vengeance,
to write my own amendments,
so despite what I've mentioned,
my raps are my sole business.
no need to set impressions,
cause you're all now a witness,
to sound found in lyrical vineyards,
'92 and brewed in the finest conditions,
the fly'est lyricist spitting tremendous renditions,
with bars like bricks and bullions,
worthy of millions.

Verse 3:

What I'm saying is this,
I've found what I missed,
now fully equipped,
to gift this world with my script,
attacking governance from positions of permanence,
earnest competitiveness,
after falling from firmament,
fermented through certainess,
bringing heavenly services,
praised for effectiveness,
in enduring the turbulence,
on shape shifting surfaces,
an enlightened intelligence,
enjoying inner furtherance,
igniting the furnaces,
with prominent providence
through connaisance,
rhyming syllable consonants with consonance,
confident dominance in my deliverance
displaying competence as I turn microphones to ornaments,
structural ordnance via all my sentences,
containing sentiments for guidance like compasses,
you'll find it encompasses,
relevant elements,
for me and my associates,
as we travel these continents.
