It Won't Be Long

Postby Mr.DGAF » Jun 23rd, '13, 07:10

Another song off my upcoming collaborative EP. Got an even newer mic and recording interface, quality should be even better than before. Hope you guys like it. First verse chronicles my growth as a writer on TR and second verse is my tackling of the Audio Stage. Basically the whole song is a low key dedication to TR haha.

Song: https://soundcloud.com/mr-dgaf-1/final-it-wont-be-long
Feed: http://forum.trshady.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=161078

(Verse 1)
I remember the first track i ever wrote
Clever notes of the world, that I cherish close
Never noticed by my peers so I took a break
Came back with game that you couldnt fake
Shook the place and from then I was reckoned with
Yet and still neglected is all I ever feel
So I stepped back, recollected, steadfast
Never second, every second better than your best track
Thats how you gotta feel, put my heart and skill
Into my writings and deciphered where I would start to kill
Garnered will and respect then I feel it was best
To reveal to them yes I would quit while ahead
I remember I said I would never take my writings to the booth
How childish to use my devices as a tool and then blow them of
So Im wrong Ima shine through this music, and I said it wont be long

(Verse 2)
Took a journey I was ill prepared for
Didnt care, it was vicious there for
Couple minutes then once I finished my first recording
It was glory I listened to certain stories
That moment was golden and only after I posted it
I wondered if my flow was iffy or if my vocals feel
Off, I dont know if this song is the best I could I do
So when you said it was lesser than you expected me to
That was a lesson to use, I never let it confuse
Cause I was way off now I know the message is true
I stepped up next to this booth and every day Im getting better
Id say its simply steps but I never made that step up
I made a mistake, Im playing a legend
The game isnt changing its just the way it was set up
Every other rapper fails, which is why Im so hesitant
And tragic tales plague me like the seventh century
Heaven sent for me, if the devil didnt see
What Im capable of, let him step up to the ring
Cause Im taking challengers, battled as an amateur
But I mastered my craft and now I represent the champ
I dont ever get the wrap of a legend in the past
Cause Im never looking back I don't ever see it pass
Everythingll pass, I could quess Im going strong
Yes I know Ive wronged but I said it wont be long

(Bridge)
(I'll make it baby)
I took a step in the right direction
Flying helpless, only hoping where my flight is headed
But I know I gotta go, either college or the road
Get a scholarship or park the whip in Hollywood on shows
I shook the nest now Im riding in danger
I only hope when I die that it's painless
I find it amazing cause life isn't waiting
I could make it or fail, I only try to be patient
You'd be surprised...

Fuuuuuuck your flow is so fucking dope on this, man. I'm really feeling this. I can tell you're putting your whole soul behind this song delivery-wise. That hook is mesmerizing too. Beat was dope.

Overall, this was a nice track, man.

My favorite part. The flow/delivery is just perfect here (well, the weird pause on "never let it confuse" was... well, weird. But no worries).

You know always to hit me up if you want me to mix your vocals. I can tell these are dry, but it's definitely an improvement from the last mic!

I edited the link in the OP, Menzo. Should be able to listen to it now. :y:

Also, DGAF, just listened again. Your adlibs seemed not lined up properly. Just sayin'.

Hmm. Ah well haha. I think my mic is lagging when I record the layers and as a result a few are off. Most of them sound good doe.

I liked it. I played it for some friends and they said it was good. I'm jealous. I wish I could come up with a good hook.

liked this man, really the main thing is mixing and or mic quality. cant really tell which is making it sound a little sub par quality wise. other than that you have a nice flow on this, and lyrics are nice as well. really nothing to point out wrong other than hoping the quality can increase soon lol

its nice man, i like the beat, it was simple yet effective. flow was good, calm cool and collected. not much to say, keep it up. hook was nice too, is it yours or sampled?

anyways, I got a EP up, if you could check out a song or two, i'd really appreciate some feedback

Your lyricism and story telling is great, but sometimes the adlibs feel a tiny beat overpowering of the original layer, but I guess that's just down to mixing - I have this problem as well haha/
