Thank you, I was tryin to come with something nice as it was sort of my introduction to this forum, and first impressions are key. Anyway i just mess around at these forums to try to soak up any more knowledge I can about the whole writing process. I've been spitting for about a year and a half, only 17. I dont really textcee (I guess you call it that) much, but I figure its a good outlet to kinda mess around/improve in without having to be concerned with peoples opinions, only feeding off the advice.
Here's something with a more universal appeal gutty, simple structure but I think this one is just more about the meaning of the lyrics.
Time goes by, So steadily,
Living in hell, We wonder what heaven be,
Prisoners dwell, Hopin that they set em free,
Men Die, Leaving nothing but a legacy,
Women Cry, You don't need him girl! let him leave,
Kids lost, so they lead they lives wrecklessly,
What the future has in store we can never see,
It's hard to carry on not knowing whats ahead of me...
See my mom's dear friend she just lost her life,
That means a loving husband just lost his wife,
And with only one job now they lost they lights,
And the kids got no guidance so they lost they sight,
They eldest son got a full time, but never sees rest,
But they say to never suffer would to never be blessed,
We've seen our fair share, they our deepest secrets,
I find my hope through music where the melody sets,
Even songs cry out, Tryna cleanse these streets,
But nothings done the guitar just gently weeps,
Though its hard, we must beleive,
I gotta dream, To provide for my family overseas,
To give back all the love that they showed me,
And see no matter what happens life slowly,
Goes on bound to be blood spilled, Drugs dealed
thugs killed, thats real, but still...
Time goes by, So steadily,
Living in hell, We wonder what heaven be,

Men Die, Leaving nothing but a legacy,
Women Cry, You don't need him girl! let him leave,
Kids lost, so they lead they lives wrecklessly,
What the future has in store we can never see,
It's hard to carry on not knowing whats ahead of me...
NOTE*-definetly not keystyled, just a song I wanted to show.
