2024

bet you were expecting something more

thought we'd be official baby

by now

2024

you are the one that i adore

but i cannot commit to you

right now

please don't cry, please don't act like you're shocked

you know how i can get 'bout cardstock

i'm married to the grind, baby

reselling booster boxes for life

i just don't have time baby

for you to be my wife

Last night your words felt so empty and hollow,

As I laid in silence.

The more you explained, the worse the tightness

In my chest.

Time to stop, no more lies, that's enough.

You need to go.

So many years, I kept my promise.

While you just did nothing.

Filled with regret, I must make a decision.

And perhaps forget you.

Time will pass, no more lies, good enough.

I need to go.

Now.

Since you gave me a hard hitting theme, i went for a hard hitting topic. This song is about how bad Domestic Violence is, and how it can affect someone. As much as i hate cheating, i would never reduce someone to tears, because it showcases you as the problem, and not them. Look at the end of the day i think Domestic Violence is not ok. That's the key theme here. I used to a TTS voice for the lyrics, and i tried to match it to the beat as best as i could. Not my strong suit, but this is definately something different from me, as it's more hard hitting, and has lyrics about an intense topic. You give me themes like this, expect music like this. The track is just a bogstandard hip-hop like beat, with a guitar progression and a synth embellishment. Melodic it's very simple as it's the vocals that needed to shine, not the music. Overall it's definately something new and unexpected from me, hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Let me start by saying you might think differently, 

 but i can sense there is something at least to me. 

 The people in the photo look psychically distraught. 

 And if there is one thing i have been taught, 

 is that aside from me rapping terrible bars 

 If i see a woman with tears and scars 

 I know something is wrong and i will not be afraid 

 to say it because i don't want this to be like a blade 

 to my throat, yes i am not comfortable, 

 In fact i am definately uncomfortable 

 Because i know in this case i am witnessing D V 

 I see it everywhere even on TV 

 People are saying it's just a breakup or a divorce 

 I see it as nothing but brute force. 

 Why would a woman be crying if she is the cheater 

 Or rather did we witness an angry guy beat her? 

 I have to say i don't condone D V 

 And i know this truth isn't easy 

 But no man or woman should have to go through this. 

 Even if you don't care, ignorance is bliss. 

 Look you are probably weirded out by this song. 

 But truthfully i did not expect such a strong 

 hard hitting theme that has dark overtones 

 Witnessing a women or man all alone. 

 Look i understand i might be looking at this too hard 

 But i cannot ignore things that leave me scarred 

 I get it it's a simple music compo round. 

 But i have a good conscience all around. 

 At the end all i am really trying to say. 

 That i think Domestic Violence is not ok .

Verse 2:

I apologise if my song sounds grim to you

But i have to see this through and through.

Just because a man is outraged by cheating

Doesn't mean we need to encourage beating.

I am a good natured person and i respect everyone

I wanted everything violence related to not be done.

Let's end it now and strive to be good.

Because that really what we should

doing, and not hitting or fighting.

I just wanted to share this message

The stats don't lie check the percentage.

D V is never the answer.

Regardless of gender i think it's cancer.

Even men can suffer from it.

They clearly don't like it one bit.

As much as you might not like me

Misinterpreting the theme, i can see

The images are something dark

And to me it's not a walk in the park.

This song is a way to hit you in the face

About a serious problem, no saving grace.

Look at the end of the day.

I think Domestic Violence is not ok.

Before in my lonely time

A plush doggy lent his ear

Black, unfeeling eyes

Always there but never heard

Now together in this bed we share

I now long for lonely time

A plush doggy used to listen

When I need a friend you whine, whine whine.

Why can’t you just look up for once?

From that screen you hide from me

Despite the loudness war

I feel as mute as ever

I was not happy once

I was lonely sad

But the way you twist my words

My plush doggie’s better

the synths are so friggin stupid. i didn't feel like eqing the drums.

Hey all. First time doing this thing.

I made a synth song using a couple of styles I've been developing for a bit. Based on the pictures I knew I wanted to do something in the minor key. I started with the drums and arpeggios then built the drums and leads over the top of the progression. I can't say this fully encapsulates the accompanying pictures but because breaking up itself can be a flurry of different, and sometimes aggressive, emotions, I think the song fits in a few of those situations.

enjoy.

oops you partied too long now the 90's (and your significant other) are gone.
