I think this is my longest MIDI song so far...but it's a good one! I've created a slow, thoughtful rap beat that's long enough to actually rap over versus some of my other songs which have been shorter and not as close to average song length. I worked hard on this one, so I hope you enjoy it! I may rap something over this song sometime in the future, and if you want to write your own rap to go with this beat, feel free to, it's free to download!

Slow Rap Beat (Original)

Love Letter To The Earth - Kobi Russell

Starting a new project, titled "The EDM Project". This is my first track from it! An EDM remix of "Born To Die" by Lana Del Ray.

LYRICS: 

[Intro]
𝘠𝘰, 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 '𝘦𝘮 𝘒𝘰𝘣𝘪! 

[Chorus: Kobi] 
And if you’re real
You can roll with us
And if you’re real

[Verse 1: Zione]

Mind over matter
I climb the ladder
You either real or you fake 
I kill the latter
(Fake)
My dreams rain 
Pitter patter
Spill over pain
Play the game
We ain't even in the same 

Going off the top
(Not in the same)
 Tiptoe around the cash 
Smog never turned attached 
(Cash) 
Though everything I see sensory Getting everything 
They never meant for me
(Never meant for me) 

I put the pen to the pad 
And I get to the bag
(Get to the bag)
If she think a nigga got time for Madden no madness I rap bliss 
But you get ya wig split
If you messing with us

[Chorus: Kobi] 
And if you’re real
You can roll with us
And if you’re real
(If you’re real) 
You can roll with us
(You can roll with us) 

[Verse 2: Kobi]
Keepin it 100
Keep it real 
Keep it cool
Spread the cards on the table 
Straight actin The Fool  

Mighty Knight of Swords
He slayed a dragon 
Beat is draggin
Band wagon 
Protagon 
Ist 
Factionist
Facist capitalist 

Stop clownin Me 
Nemo 
I’m the emperor 
Nero
Robert 
You talking to me, ho? 

We could be Good,
Fellas
C’mon, get along 
But all will be revealed by the end of this song  

We talking real shit, 
My G, deal with it 
Look to Jesus 
Hope he frees us 
Kneel with it 
Hope your sins 
Become hymns 
And you heal, stitch
C’mon man
Be real or quit 

[Outro: Kobi & Zione]
Keep it real
Keep it real
Keep it real 
Keep it real 
With us

Streets Of Siem Reap [Prod. Young Vinyl]

LYRICS:

So I smoke till
My brain broke
Still  
It’s no joke 
I hear voices 
Dreams awoke 
Will 
I stop treating
This heart beating
Like a rental 
Please 
Be quiet
I’m tryna clear my mental 
(x2)

Had to cross that bridge 
To the old graveyard 
Laid old me to rest
(Sleep) 
Just to rap this hard   
Strapped my failures in 
And I sunk that car  
(Splash)
Who knew a perfect kid
Could ever go that far
And when I can’t fucking sleep
The bags under my eyes
Say I hope I see the next Sunrise

Oh (x6)
Till the Sunrise
(x2) 

Oh (x6)
Till the Sunrise ooh
Oh (x6)
Till the Sunrise

Steam in my shower 
Hands in my hair 
Wondered if tomorrow I’d still be there  
If I found a way 
To make it all go black 
Would the angels sing a chorus
Would they actually care?    

When the wires 
Get too tired 
Who gon catch you when you fall 
Got too real
Had to kneel 
Need a smoke
I need some air 

Dear Lord, this is my prayer

And the sun goes up 
And the sun comes down 
But nothing really matters 
Till we hit the ground
(x4)

Weed was my medicine 
Till it brought the dread within 
Demons in the psych ward
Thinkin should I let em in 
Point is not the plant
Is not the pipe
Is not the bong 
The point is I abused it 
And that’s the end of the song

A book
Of all the lessons I’ve learned
Would have
Too many pages

Once
No
More than once
I tried to control

Everything

I
Small entity in a vast web
Attempted the everyday jobs
Of all the people around me

I gave directions to Uber drivers
In cities I didn’t know
I tried to watch over every dish
Cooking in the kitchen
Instead of just chopping
What I had to chop

I tried to control my emotions
With repeated altered states

And none of it worked
It all fell apart

Because I felt so
Without control
Because I wanted
So badly to prove
That I could be

Because my mind
Was ill

On a quest
To solve the world’s needs
I lost track
Of the person that needed me most

I learned
Sometimes it is okay to be
Out of control
You cannot shape this wide world
Alone

You can’t

For you
Trying to create order
With disorder

With escape

With temporary poisons of the body
And mind
Only creates more disorder

No one was happy
When I told them what I believed
They needed

Least of all myself

In this moment in time
We have cause
For pause

For a moment
For ourselves

Place the mask over your own head before helping others
First, breathe
Fill your cup to the top
It with overflow with bounty
And kindness
For others

This is just the first page
The list goes on
