Mkay. Let's go through this bit by bit (Because it's so much more fun that way). The first one, is definetely better than the other you posted. However. Issues. 'nobody dieing from meat cleavers.' ; That's okay, nobody dies from meat cleavers anyway. 'Are unable to make a real plan with an introduction.' ; Introduction? What? 'To give yourself a title is like going to an intervention.' ; See 'what' above. That and it's so, unoriginal, and preachy etc. really quite bugs me. Nothing should ever be written ever again on the 'state' of the planet, because it doesn't work. Number two. Not going to bother, unoriginal hook that destroys a classic song. Stopped there, but, better, I guess.
meat cleavers was very specific but stands for a means of death rather than the exact way of killing. Meat cleavers are brutal and ------ed up, so I was referring to the way human beings kill each other in such disgusting ways. "A few people who have morals to fight the destruction, Are unable to make a real plan with an introduction." As in, there are people will to take a stand, but none of em actually make a plan with a START(introduction) to do anything. And the original song 99 Red Balloons/99 luftballons has a LOT to do with society today. And with those lyrics I tried to point out some things, with out getting too detailed. Maybe I should have. and you're right, there's really no means of originality left. These lyrics are much more original than some mainstream ---- you hear today, but I agree they aren't brand new at all.
Where is the Love? -- Black Eyed Peas What's wrong with the world mama? People living like aint got no mamas I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here livin In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And if you hatin you're bound to get irate Yeah madness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how anger works and operates You gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all People killing people dying Children hurtin you hear them crying Can you practice what you preach Would you turn the other cheek? Father Father Father help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got me got me questioning Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x) It just ain't the same all ways have changed New days are strange is the world the insane? If love and peace so strong Why are there pieces of love that don't belong Nations dropping bombs Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones With ongoing suffering As the youth die young So ask yourself is the loving really strong? So I can ask myself really what is going wrong With this world that we living in People keep on giving in Makin wrong decisions Only visions of them livin and Not respecting each other Deny thy brother The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover The truth is kept secret Swept under the rug If you never know truth Then you never know love Where's the love y'all?(I don't know) Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know) Where's the love y'all? People killing people dying Children hurtin you hear them crying Can practice what you preach Would you turn the other cheek? Father father father help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got me got me questioning Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2) I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder As I'm getting older y'all people get colder Most of us only care about money makin Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction Wrong information always shown by the media Negative images is the main criteria Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema Whatever happened to the values of humanity Whatever happened to the fairness and equality Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found People killing people dying Children hurtin you hear them crying Can you practice what you preach Would you turn the other cheek? Father Father Father help us Send some guidance from above Cause people got me got me questioning Where is the love?
I think calling them more original than the mainstream is severly pushing it, considering everything I hear on...MTV and crap like that, is either this, or the only other alternative "IN DA CLUB". And you need to read up what "Maven" means, because it doesn't really fit. And having read number 2 and 3. I have decided something. They're very emo lyrics.
They are emo, you're right. Maven is not my choice of word. The use, as shown up above is by Kanye West. The chorus would sample, "Amazin'" by Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy. The line goes, "I'm a Monster, I'm a Maven, I know this world is changin', never gave in, never gave up, I'm the only thing I'm afraid of." So really, it wasn't my choice, lol. Also boys, none of this is serious, I'm just foolin' around, I'm not a song-writer ffs.
As much as I really adore and admire Kanye West for trying to be original, and the whole artistic fashion thing, I agree. He needs a reality check.
If you've ever worked as a butcher, you'll know that meat cleavers, are sharp, precise and clinical. I'd much rather have my brain stem cut and my body hacked up with a meat cleaver than get mangled in a car accident.
I think we spoke before on MSN. I actually have matched these lyrics up with perfect flow on many different free-instrumentals. I'm not a rapper though. I have a lot of other things to do. I may or may not release a mix-tape just for my real life friends, they enjoy it..cuz they are my friends. I know you guys are comparing this stuff to ----- and extremely well written literature/poetry, but please remember I'm not a rapper or a song-writer, I'm a 19 year old kid from Toronto. This isn't so serious for me as it is for some people, I just started doing it a bit more these last 3 months.
