Adrian Raguin, one of my friends in my grade at OSC, has composed a song and asked me if I can rap to his song. He and his sister, Camie Raguin, currently in 11th grade doing IB at school, have been working together on several songs and for this one, she sings for the chorus.
So I have written the lyrics for my rap part, 3 verses, and we have recorded the song as a rough trial. It didn't sound so bad, but it's not complete version so we will have to record it again properly.
At the moment, we have intro, two choruses and three verses; it goes from intro, verse 1, chorus, verse 2, and to verse 3 with the chorus. We need a bridge after verse three, but we haven't thought about how it'd go yet; haven't written the lyrics for the bridge yet either.
We showed it to Ms.Lilani and Ms.Fernando in Eng B class. Ms.Fernando liked it, and now she wants us to perform this for the charity concert organised by the Cancer Hospital, school's one of the community service projects, and for the students at the assembly. and she even wants us to do our Eng. B orals on this; discussing how we made this, why we made this and so on.
Adrian and I haven't thought about it that far yet since we haven't even finished the song yet. We will first get everything sorted out, and then decide what to do next.
This is what we've got so far:
Do we learn math to add the dead's sum?
Subtract the weak ones, count cash for great ones
Do we multiply, divide the nations
Break down like fractions, send our sons away to die
Do we learn science in defiance of faith?
To make alliance with fakes, for an appliance's sake
We ask for the real, but make artificial intelligence
To make smarter kills of others' presidents ah
Do we learn to read to receive the lies?
To deceive the eyes from seeing between the lines
We use words to bring forth sticks and stones
To sing psamls of hate that fill the street with bones
It's for the children of the world
The one that lives in the rubble
The third war kid in the battle alone at war
But love always remains
Peace is the dream of all
Freedom isn't a wall
This is for the children of the world
Who run for lives and die for five cents
This vibes, do you also feel then?
Hi-fives, with your both hands, in
Total ten, flowers still bloomin'
In this desecent world, we're livin' in
Never let their hopes down, send them ropes down
Bring them all up high to the top on us
Their rough hands from working like ants
Will never be the shame, but the great fame
Real winners in this game, like my rhymes
They do shine, so remember the names
This will never be the same
Put the smiles on their scar-faces
We're entering on a new phase with the new face
Another car crash shouldn't be the case
Little pause, take a while to think about
This cause and consequnces
Hear them shout in the haunted house
Listen to what cry for and scream about
No one knows how it'd go
Though we do know where to go
We shall be their Santa Claus and say ho ho ho
* need to do
We also tried to record it, just as a trial. It doesn't sound so bad, but we will have to record it again.
