Just me rappin' over Unorthodoxbeats tune "Struggle" hope you enjoy. I know my mic is a bit shit.
It's about how much I dislike working night shifts at McDonalds. lol enjoy.

Yo Yo
I'm tryin to make rent But I'm mentally spent
Squeeze a nickel and a dime only end with 2 cents
Fuck the system tell 'em all to get bent
All these thoughts just weigh me down like heavy wet cement
Haven't seen the sun in days
Cus' for me to get paid at the maximum level
Is for me to work graves leavin' my brain unsettled
On my bike I gotta pedal to the next town over
Where's my mother fuckin medal who's gonna be the doner
So now my lucks run dry think I need a four leaf clover
But instead I just sigh and sit alone in the corner.

When the sun goes down I wake up
Rub the sleep from my eyes it's time for me to take off
Turnin' time to dollar bills but I'm sacrificin' thrills
til I can make my dough from my God given skills

Because in order to reside in a functioning society
without you people eye'in me I need to make money
Grab that cash boy you'd better get running
Cus where I need to be is a few bucks away
But it's hard to go anywhere on minimum wage
But at least it's all in range makin' it to center stage
and one day I can look back on all the facts and just say
that I took the cards I was dealt, sat down and just played
Livin at night sing starshine serenade
Got it all twisted up like pulpy lemonade
Whatever it takes I just gotta get paid.

Cus When the sun goes down I wake up
Rub the sleep from my eyes it's time for me to take off
Turnin' time to dollar bills but I'm sacrificin' thrills
Until I can make dough from my God given skills

What's good fam?

Gave a 8. For your age, and especially from the reviews, I'd say this is a good track. Not particularly right for the beat you spit on, but like you said, you had to get it out. I do, however, agree with the last comment below me. Work on wordplay. I don't agree that the words weren't very moving. They had more meaning that people want to think.

Not many people discuss the struggle. I'd say start out working on 16 bar verses, 4 bar (repeat, or 8 straight) choruses. 3 verses to a song. You master that, then work on the wordplay. These lyrics are simple, but they convey a message. I'd say just polish the simplicity out of it, use more similies and medaphores. "Like" and "as if" work very well when describing next to anything.

Oh, and a Thesaurus. Writer's best friend so you don't repeat words in every song.

I liked it, especially the chorus. I wouldn't change that at all fam.

Stay up.

Yeah I've been sort of taking a break from spittin', working on my worldplay and whatnot like I've been told. Thanks for the great review though. Appreciate it when people actually take time to say something relevant. Someday you'll see me at the top of the list here ;) Thanks a lot for puttin' me in your favorites.

I don't know if it's just me, but this song sounds fucking bomb. Honestly, with some better quality equipment, I'd call this radio quality. Definately your best work to date in my opinion. Fuckin' good job on the chorus too, seriously. Downloaded and put on the ipod.

RoobyKillAll responds:

Thanks man, Steppin' my game a little. I gotta work on the lyrics a bit though. I really like how I sang the chorus here. Chchchyeah.

Nice

I really like it !

Keep it up

RoobyKillAll responds:

Thanks for the smooth beat man!

Mmm

The beat is high quality..
The lyrics are very... unmoving.
Its a fine song.
Nothing bad about it.

But the lyrics need to be worked on.
Work on the rhyme scheme.
And make sure the less smart people can keep up with the lyrics.
You definitely need to work on the flow.
Flow and More moving lyrics.
Hard hitting lyrics. More wordplay... More feeling.

RoobyKillAll responds:

Yeah I sort of threw this together. Just needed to spit on somethin y'know lol. Wasn't too worried about wordplay here, just needed to get it out of my system. I see what you mean though. Thanks for the review.
