Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I got a couple guidelines, writing tracks, you can follow It ain't the law, but I offer elements you could borrow Let's get the basics round Counting bars to placing down a makeshift sound You get a feel for the beat and then you lay it out Now back to the count Typically the second snare will signify a bar is ending there so get prepared The standard timing on a beat hits sure It goes one, two, three, four See that's, four-four timing For you to go get your rhyme in Now stick with me while we climbing These lessons are fair reminders that I am here just for guiding. Your style will be your own I'd be turning in my grave if I was out creating clones Pick up your pen or use your phone, it's the new days You got a topic or you spitting bars 'til doomsday? You want it old school or you tryin' to ride a new wave? It doesn't matter 'cause your tracks whatever you say These are guidelines Pick up your pen and let your fine lines, defy time Spit to the end how I define mine Guidelines, to give a blind mind, divine sight Designed prime to keep the lyricism twined tight Guidelines for the poets and the emcees So you can know to keep it flowin' like a fresh breeze To keep it open like the ocean never empty I plant the seeds and watch this forest growing gently Let's talk tonality You got something to spit You gotta let it hit and own it in totality Don't speak so absently Some personality will go a long way when you're messing with this alchemy Add an inflection, drag a word out to emphasise So people feel connected to learn, scout and analyse Listeners hungry for emotion so go add a slice You'd be surprised the way they relate to the agonised Or how they replay all that swagger that you advertise Relay your feelings on a platter let 'em appetise Elate the crowd up to the ceiling let them atomise A shaman on the beat begin the healing when you're so concise Keep it nice but beware the evil though 'Cause if it sounds like you are reading off your page it's gonna show And we know you aren't the Guru so don't keep it monotone There's exceptions to these things I'm only writing what I know These are guidelines Pick up your pen and let your fine lines, defy time Spit to the end how I define mine Guidelines, to give a blind mind, divine sight Designed prime to keep the lyricism twined tight Guidelines for the poets and the emcees So you can know to keep it flowin' like a fresh breeze To keep it open like the ocean never empty I plant the seeds and watch this forest growing gently Welcome to verse three Glad you're still here while I disperse these Lessons like a watering can to quench a thirst free I don't know what the earth needs But you can rest assured I know more to up the score with diverse heat Peep the rhyme pattern More than one word That's a multi on the grind rappin' Forward hut, Sir! Forgetting similes is like a riddles missing piece Resemblance to another thing connected through figure of speech You want a metaphor? You're a fish out of water Trying your best to get caught up inside my downpour I'll break it down for, the audience at home So that you can feel more confident when you're writing alone A multi syllable bar means that you chose More than one word to rhyme in the last line composed Similes and metaphors add flavour to a track But if the soups already tasty then you ain't gotta do jack These are guidelines Pick up your pen and let your fine lines, defy time Spit to the end how I define mine Guidelines, to give a blind mind, divine sight Designed prime to keep the lyricism twined tight Guidelines for the poets and the emcees So you can know to keep it flowin' like a fresh breeze To keep it open like the ocean never empty I plant the seeds and watch this forest growing gently
