v1
to do list longer than my leg
enough to swell ya head and go back to bed
you said youd get after it today dont play
whats a man if he dont do what he say
ok whose to make clear or elucidate
who the great becomes who enumerates
is it fate would you let chance dictate
your success rate while a stranger officiates
ch
dont stop i got a full day
dont stop theres a lot on my plate
things to do when youre living a life
so you can go to sleep at night
but i wont get side tracked
just trying to live
I wont allow that
i have talents to give
im trying to build something strong that will outlive me
you see music is my legacy
v2
priorities, i prioritize
the things of highest value or at least i try
but maybe that is the sticking point
get it solved resolved no longer dissappoint
just flip a coin and decide thats how i live
the narrative now under my directive
and to think i thought it was this way all along
sometimes the best ideas come from a song

Love the metric here, it reads like a rap! Really like the rhymes.
@spazsquatch Feb 2022
Brilliant. Consider me a fan.

This sounds like you potentially wrote it to the #s020122 skirmish prompt. Whether you did or not, I enjoyed it very much—it's catchy and joyful and fun. If you did write it to the prompt, it was also a really creative take on it

I like this!! Big fan of this beat, great lyrics and wordplay as always
@mardeycranbleson Feb 2022
Dang, what a gorgeous chord progression. Just love the whole arrangement and your vocals are great. Gorgeous chorus also. Really like this a lot.

That's another great thing about FAWM - I get to listen to music I normally wouldn't seek out. In this case "Rap" - but this is rap that is dominated by melody and not by a drum machine. So big from me for this. You had me from that opening line.
