Background
This is the first draft of the song I’ve written. There is no chorus yet at the moment, still deciding on a few different ones so here’s the rest of it!
Hoping for feedback, how I can improve, what is good and what is bad, thanks for the help all!
Verse 1
Escaped from the pit, no longer stranded,
A fresh new start, no longer branded,
On my own, I did it single-handed,
I’ve left my past now they can’t stand it.
I’m stronger now, a brand new man,
Only now my life has began,
Taking control just like I planned,
And I won’t let it get out of hand.
I was at a low,
Now I’m at a high,
Reaching for the stars,
I’m already in the sky,
Forgetting all the scars,
Telling them goodbye,
This moment is for me,
No more tears will I cry,
The haters can hate,
I think I know why,
Maybe they’re jealous,
Of the words I supply,
Stick them on a beat,
And with the flow I apply,
They can’t take the heat,
So they curl up and fry!
Verse 2
I was at a left, now I’m all right,
Smashed through the darkness, like a beam of light,
I never knew, success could be in sight,
It’s finally occurred to me that it just might.
Its going to be hard, the hill is steep,
But I’ll get there if I dig deep,
In my dreams ill take that leap,
Cause without dreams there will just be sleep,
But I’m not sleeping,
I’m feeling sublime,
And line after line,
I continue to rhyme,
Spitting on a beat,
Just flowing in time,
It’s a form of art,
A lyrical design,
My confidence is up,
I’m nearly in my prime,
Conquered a mountain,
That I had to climb,
Standing at its peak,
I’m at cloud nine,
Feeling calm and successful,
Like an organised crime!
Verse 3
My advice to you, just keep your concentration,
Focus on your goals, use that as inspiration,
Battle bit by bit, through every complication,
Because in the end you will find salvation.
It might be tough, it might be hard,
You will get hit, you will get scarred,
So put on your armour, be on guard,
This is life and you’re in its yard,
The yard might be his,
But you can still be free,
Smash out of hell,
Just like me,
The dark has gone,
You’re now an escapee,
So you can live your life,
To the highest degree,
Without all the clouds,
Clearly you see,
It looks a whole lot better,
I hope you agree,
This is now the life,
You wanted it to be,
Going in at 100 miles per hour,
Like you’re in a Grand Prix!
