I made the beat, playing some simple notes on the guitar, making a bass line, looping a bunch of lines on the trumpet, and writing a rap. 

This song is meant for... energetically giving power and positivity to everyone I love, to really motivate myself to be happier and be better, 
and to not let bullshit get in my way!

And to everyone who is goin through something. And to give positive vibes. It's kinda intense but would hope this brings a smile on your face :-) 

Here is the Google doc where I've written the lyrics for the song:

In case you wanna take a look, here's the lyrics too :)


The Next Plateau (Rap w/ simple descending chords)

Yo if I had one shot just to write one rhyme 
Id give it all that I got to make sure that these stars align 
I wouldn’t overthink it, I’d take it line by line
And day by day, I will finally/finely bring it 
Cuz the grooves been within us the entire time, 

Id never feel limited, and my powers would be limitless, 
My confidence would shatter the biggest of doubts
I will always be disciplined, till Ive built a stimulus 
Enough to pass around in massive amounts, 
Perspective is what I need to get inner peace, 
And understand what really counts. 

Let my fam know how i REALLY feel about em’ 
And I hope these tears get em outta the drought
Im drinking beers and Im out and about, 
Wondering what am I doin here, when you’re down and out, 
Im just doing my thing, And Im whiling out, 
Cuz were 5000 miles away from each-other
But Id like to think when you frown, that Im howlin loud
We’re wild beasts, And our inner child 
Is sleeping and dreaming, and thinking of things you wouldn’t believe in. 
Like you deserve to be happy and smile
So let this be closure, the suffering is bullshit 
And Now that it’s all over. 
Im visualizing a place, Where I’m with all of you. 

Playin serenades (trumpet time) that shatter the boulders
That weigh heavy on our sore, stiff shoulders
The cliff is fallin but our wings spread when they’re supposed tuh (to)
The music is bringing us closer, and I’m planning to show ya 
How the love I got for you is bonkers,
And I’m gonna be the poster boy of joy, 
Singin notes like I’m everyone’s songster
The love is real, pluggin up holes in the boat, 
When the storm is gettin stronger and stronger 
Tossin us about in circles and circles, and tearing off the planks, 
While the Whirlpools (vortex) and sea-monsters, 
Prevent us from leaving the port, so 
We gotta pause and ponder, 

Look up to the sky and our celestial father
Tells us how to get farther, 

When the clouds are thick, We’ll still know where to go 
Cuz Our inner compass will command and conquer, 
And we’ll finally see what’s beyond and yonder 
And it’s so beautiful, 

I think momma was onta algo, importante. 
Iike we’re all in this musical
and none of us have to walk through this alone 
if our spokes and bones are broken
Mom’s prayers are mycelium that helps em grow together. 
And We’re gonna do more than just go with the flow, 
We’re Popeyes and we will steer this ship with our hope
We’ll dance up to the top of the mountain, and in that instant, the sun will break through the clouds and shine down on us, and we’ll feel the butterflies, and float… 

And just go, to the next plateau 
And just go, to the next plateau

The Next Plateau

This is my 2nd attempt at making a g funk related track. For those who know the song, the second melody is inspired by my mother, my latino roots. Solamente Una Vez ;) <3

Raps in progress for this funky lil beat
Shout out to Soundfly for making this a reality for me, I've been studying basics of Ableton and beat production on their online learning courses. They're pretty cool!
