Good Die Young
A lot of you probably don't know me or anything about this - but I've been writing music for about 15 years. You don't just find FFR not being a musician or a fan somehow! :p
About 6 years ago I got into rap, I'm much more comfortable with it as a flow in general compared to my rock songs that feel like more poetry. Though I do play drums and guitar, my heart is in the vocals. So, it's been many months since I've "spit" something, or written a new song. I was sitting here listening to music earlier and just decided BAM open notepad and start typing. No joke, 4 minutes later I looked up and this is what I had. It's not perfect. But I'm curious the message you guys take from it - I think there's a lot more feelings behind it than I'd care to admit. good die young ------------- you know that life gets frustrating leaves you just with hating nothin left to say so get fucked up and wasted you never really know what the stakes is they must be too high, you know you aint fly and even if you was you'd drop out of the sky so put down the wings kid, you aint meant for the air i know you're scared, but keep it inside, no one wants to hear and I know you must ask yourself why do you even try but hey maybe it aint your fault - maybe you're not the guy things aren't even worth it you know you don't deserve it shit this life aint perfect and everyone drops bombs on you it makes you kinda nervous so you walkin on some egg shells feeling caught under a spell and even though you never fell you still can't get back up they said only the good die young so why am I still here? I thought I did good deeds I thought I beat the fear I guess it comes back creepin and creepin's never fast I thought that I was good but only the bad guys last aint no rest for the wicked closin them eyes is restricted you talk but no one listens now you gettin the mission? no one's catching what you're pitching they're just laughing at your fiction no plans come to fruition might as well go back to the kitchen when the wick on the candle burns it's last spark makes you wonder why'd you even start coulda enjoyed it sitting on a shelf now you turned it into someone else and candle wax aint never the same when you kiss its lips with just the smallest flame it's easy to go from wild to tame if you do it in someone else's name one more time around might get it right keep trying and trying to reignite the spark is gone, the candle is dead but the thoughts linger on at the top of your head the wax drips down and it soaks the floor and you still don't know why.. why you want some more |

I like it, tells a good message. Personally, music that has a good message behind a weak beat, not saying this has a weak beat btw, always is better than music with a dumb message, like fuck bitches get money, on a strong beat, will always win out. That sentence is convoluted, but work with me.

Re: Good Die Young
Thank you, AJ!
I really enjoyed where the song ended up bringing me, the whole concept of the candle being more beautiful before it's lit. And you're right - I used to put on beats and write to the beats so there was a clear flow. But I don't have any beat makers anymore, actually I really REALLY need someone who can help with that. |
