Instrumental was pieced together/remade by me using Garageband & Logic. I added in the piano, background guitar in the hook, and tweaked the drums a little bit. Let me know what you think!
If a lot of people would like the instrumental, I'll post a download link to that as well.

Lyrics:
Verse1:
He been sittin and waiting, deliberatin,
If he ever stop pacin, to face it, and liberate it,
But he can't, not when his thoughts are racin,
And his mind's outside of the lines he's tracin.
Patient, strong, but without the basis,
And this year, he's had a lot to break it,
So he holds on, waits for the days when,
Fate replaces, the fear and hatred,
Stayin, up in these four walls,
Cause he knows when he steps outside, it's all gone
If he stays put, couldn't hear him at all
And mama's always telling him to pray real hard,
With the men with the lifted clips and light grins
With the light dim, sight thin, eyes lit, lifeless,
So he thinks why its gotta be like this,
And stays put with the thoughts he fights with

Verse 2:
It brought guns and it brought the pain,
It brought funds and it brought the grain,
It brought aids and it brought language,
It brought fame and it brought the anguish,
But he can't get away from the panic,
When his eyes tear up, he's unable to stand it,
And it does what it says not happens,
Cuz he lives in it without askin,
He never lies, he never never lies,
Never tried to ever ride, the other other side,
With a young mind blind from the shots he hears,
And fears not what he cannot bear,
This year, he's known death, pain and misery,
Gun fire delivery, passed off as anything,
And so he prays, under the sinistry,
Waiting on the day his dreams mimic his imagery.

  • @YouIAmMusic Hey I would kill for this instrumental. It really just has the right sound to it. I'm trying to get started up now, and don't exactly have the producing talent yet so I've just been trying to find great instrumentals. If you could post a DL link or somethin, that would be awesome

  • Yeah its good. Great voice, lyrics.
