Open Mic Night Wk 16 Entry: Lass Gehn, Let's Go! (Original Song)

verbal-d (71)in #originalmusic • 7 years ago (edited)

This is one of the first songs I ever used any German phrase in my music as I was learning the language. It may be a small phrase but it has a bigger meaning and impact and I believe it serves its purpose perfectly within the message I'm delivering.

Just wanted to make a feel good song, with an upbeat vibe to get people pumped up and motivated for life.

I hope you all enjoy this for what it's worth and take something positive from it.

Verses 1 & 2 Written, Created & Performed by Verbal D

Full Song Lyrics:

Verbal D
Verse 1:
It's a cold world, so we live in the snow
People quick to take but the giving is slow
They'll be little you low little bit of crippling blows
You're bound to get frostbitten 50 below

Got to make a campfire with the sticks and the stones
If I call you for help better pick up the phone
We are here for each other not for living alone
We can set a foundation stead of ripping up homes

Slip in the zone focused on the images shown
People showing true colors when they're Switching up tones
Make a difference any place that we can enter and roam
I'd rather stand out than be another the split in the comb

A war going on outside and inside, but outside there's gotta be somebody picking up bones
There's too many people losing lives as soon as they arrive from young kids to those full-grown

Verbal D
Chorus:
If you want to make a difference in this world never hesitate to start with yourself
Lass Gehn Let's Go(x4)
And if you do make the time and won't blow that aside and you've mapped out a plan to provide
Lass Gehn Let's Go(x4)

Verbal D
Verse 2:
Peep the black ice if living the fast life
Dash right, gonna need much more than flashlights
A jackknife, a slack rope that's wrapped twice
Ice picks and vice grips to grab tight

It's no game, every one of your past fights
So it's gonna be trickier than a half pipe
And you're gonna need much more than half life
If you plan on traveling areas with stalagmites

You gotta be sharper than every trap spike
Quicker than every land mine, clearer than every hand sign
Cause there's people that's waiting to backstab ya, laugh at ya, if they're given a moment, they'll have at ya

So keep your guard up, doesn't mean you gotta start building new walls and always keeping your heart shut
Be open-minded, even through the cold shoulders providing a warm heart in the world that froze over

Looked like it! Makes me wonder if you're breathing properly? I dunno, I don't sing very well...

verbal-d (71) 7 years ago

Well, if I wasn't breathing properly, I could assure you I wouldn't be able to perform this song in particular, rapping is different from singing, but breathing techniques are important for both. For faster paced songs like this one, controlled breathing and quick inhales between lines and not always at the ends of lines is necessary depending on how I've structured my writing and verses.

Sure. I can tell it's hard, I just wonder if there are certain rules to follow or tricks? I'm newb^^

There are so many breathing techniques to use, but usually you learn them with time what is best for your style of delivery and energy and projection.

Wish they could find time to make more, they do but jobs has them , that damned steve :D , guess money and a foundation are as important as creating art.

Yeah, very few can fuse the two into a lifestyle, but at least they have made art to appreciate and I'm grateful to have heard it. Music and creativity is a gift indeed to share with the world.

Thank you so much friend, I take that as a big compliment. A lot of people say I sound like Will Smith, especially when I do my story telling raps, I shall do one soon and show you what I mean. I love summertime, and I actually did a rendition of my own version using the same sample from that song in a fusion beat my friend Troy The Kid had produced. I'll try and release that soon as well. So glad you enjoy my uplifting lyrics. That's what I'm all about.

Very smooth. I'm trying to remember the actual song from the intro...I can't think of it. My favorite part was the ending when you did like an echo for the go. That sounded really mellow. Keep it up man and good luck!

verbal-d (71) 7 years ago

Thank you so much bro, appreciate hearing feedback from you as always. I also can't remember the song, but I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I have been known to echo out my outros more often than naught, it just ends well to me personally. Thank you again, I shall keep it up. You know me!

Thank you a lot, I'm always happy and grateful when people tell me which parts of the songs are their favorites. That happens to be my favorite part too and thought it ended the song very well on that verse. By the way, my kids have been sick, that's why I'm slow to reply! Catching up as I type
