I've decided to go the French House route today, both because i haven't done it in a while, but also it wasn't a complex genre, so i didn't have to rely too much on time. This track just takes disco samples, manipulates them, and then sticks them onto of house beats. The samples are deliberately short, both because that's the nature of French House, but also because i can try and do cool things with the sample instead of just having it play. All in all it's a nice beat, the reason it cuts off is because there is more to the beat, but i had to shorten it because of the 3 minute rule. Enjoy!
draggin' around deez nutz
swingin' around deez nutz
rollin' around deez nutz
slowly lower them onto your face
shoving deez nutz close to muddy holes
the trunk of the tree might be what makes her moan
but if the acorns are ready
they'll supply ample cream
and leave a little mess
a puddle of seed
haulin' around deez nutz
carryin' around deez nutz
shufflin' around deez nutz
slowly lower them onto your face
shoving deez nutz close to muddy holes
the trunk of the tree might be what makes her moan
but if the acorns are ready
they'll supply ample cream
and leave a little mess
a puddle of seed
guitar!

I got a bit experimental today : D
It's not a high quality "song" but I hope you enjoy the story nevertheless : )
i had my guitar nearby so i did a thing. gemini and claud helped with lyrics
Verse 1:
Built up bigger than bricks to hide you in
I seed trees to grow my legacy
Tiny treasure held within,
A mighty oak will soon be born from
This acorn, so small and so slight,
It holds the future inside
I hear you crunching the time until the stopwatch chimes,
Should I surrender or am I alone in this?
Verse 2:
Squirrels and robins gather round,
Their secrets hidden under ground.
They know the strength these seeds possess,
We're strong when we're quiet.
CHORUS:
Watch me watching the trees breathe,
I smell like copper and ivory
I need some time to get myself figured out
I'm so sorry I'm sorry
I wish THAT I'd watched you die - I wish I'd left you there lying on the ground
I wish THAT I could make your voice leaf me
I wish THAT I had left you deleted
from my mind
I want to tear you apart
Verse 3:
The acorn rests heavy in my palm
A reminder that growth can emerge from calm
Though rage and grief wage war inside me
The quiet strength of nature shall be my guide
I envision a towering oak's embrace
Its roots grounding me to this time and place
To nurture the seed I must tend the soil
Of my weathered soul with patience, not toil
Outro:
The acorn, small and slight,
Once held a future, burning bright.
And as its branches touch the sky,
One day, like the oak, I'll learn to rise above it all.
I'm dying to know (yeah)
why life comes and goes (huh)
long way to go 'fore
answers unfold
I'm finally cold
I'm old and alone
I'm blue turn to gold
I'm blood turn to stone
Just rambling again
like dust in the wind
whatever I said
no nothing makes sense
acorn on my head
acorn for my legs
acorn on the set
acorn till I'm dead
still dying to know (yeah)
why life comes and goes (huh)
long way to go 'fore
answers unfold
I'm finally cold
I'm grown and alone
I'm blue turn to gold
I'm blood turn to stone
I'm finally cold
It's me and my bones
I'm blue turn to gold
I'm blood turn to stone
out wandering the forest tracks
I came upon a tree
my head was in the clouds that day
way up above the canopy
I felt a crack beneath my boot
under soles thin and worn
there it lay broken in two
a perfect acorn
The perfect symbol of wasted potential
crushed before you can even begin
The perfect symbol of wasted potential
they’ll never know just what you could’ve been
I gathered up the pieces
now imbued with melancholy
such simple beauty broken
left me feeling sorry
a story that will never be told
now held within my hand
a giant of the future
that will not grace this land
The perfect symbol of wasted potential
crushed before you can even begin
The perfect symbol of wasted potential
they’ll never know just what you could’ve been
it seems kinda silly
to leave behind your legacy
in a nut that could be had
by a squirrel for its tea
it seems kinda risky
to put all your chips on black
in a tasty morsel
perfect for a squirrel snack
The perfect symbol of wasted potential
crushed before you can even begin
The perfect symbol of wasted potential
they’ll never know just what you could’ve been
