Lyrica Anderson & Kevin Gates VS Guerrero (Dramantic Remix)

Lyrics
Sons and daughters braved the rain
Sorry story told again. 
Of the winners and losers that crossed the lines
And the connoisseurs with their fine wines
Tempted by - the shoals of ice
Tempered by the exotic spice
That flavors the wind and lifts the sails
That rides through waves as the North Wind wails
Ain’t no body know
Where the money goes
Ain’t no body know
oppressive power grows

Ain’t no funny games
Drunk on sunny days
Ain’t no funny games
Drunk on sunny days

Looking up for mercy from the stone…
All alone
Walking the plank and keelhauled …
on your own
 
Ain’t misbehaving- better walk in line
Snitches get stitches before their time
Picking those pockets only get so far
Matches light the fire that sets it off. 

He was a cow in calf better have a laugh
They were hoping that he’d become their money bags
Sharing empty shelves cob web caught the fly
Maybe he’ll think twice before taking my advice. 

Shattered lives
Shadowed lies
Better tell the truth
Before you look the fool
No one knows
Where it grows
In an Online kissing booth
A Smile without a tooth. 

Hitting up the walls ….
in the bathroom
Markings on the wall claimed….
They had you

With the  ground underneath
We take that generational trip

Of materialistic wealth and shallow thoughts about 
Their drip. 

And the flow never grows
 as we wonder why we’ve lost
 our grip.

Our love for the red wood forest 
it brings us to the chorus

Ain’t no body know
Where the money goes

If this is what we lose,
 it puts us to the screws

Ain’t no body know
oppressive power grows

Ain’t misbehaving- better walk in line
Snitches get stitches before their time
Picking those pockets only get so far
Matches light the fire that sets it off.

No Funny Games

Note: (As a personal protest I'm not doing the below anymore even if the technique works. I read one great artist questioning another great artists authenticity and I found that pretty shit and it's the way we are currently embracing ai that's to blame. So I ain't feeding the beast at all anymore. However I will leave it here as a mark to as much of it as I ever justified in my head) (FUCK the way humans are dealing with AI)

AI voice modeling is a phenomenal way to practice this and hone your voice. I'm not for a second suggesting use it in the result of a piece of art however as a tool to train your good self. Absolutely 

AI can model your voice at different ranges and make you sound real. The nuances of your own unique delivery are brought across so you can actually use this to become your own amazing frame of reference to sing with and improve your own material in the sense you end up closer to what you can imagine given your expanded ability and range you've delivered yourself with modern and very specific practice. It's particularly handy if you are attempting something for the first time. Pitch shifting with the correct subtle gradual movement to the range you struggle in can be a way of getting there. During the process you retain that confidence of enjoying a solid performance and don't get frustrated doing it wrong while trying to train the muscles to be able to actually get there. We inspire ourselves in every musical moment by staying inspired and it sounding good for me is an important part of staying lasered to that instinct which allows you to deliver your best everytime. Maybe it's me but if an idea is running flat... I forget it and move on... So in that light this is a great way of staying ahead of that dagger that might have you doubting yourself 

This is a good example in my opinion of using the tool to become more creative and not the opposite like a lot of people do. If the tool makes art for you ,you are a tool as we would say in Ireland. Use the tool then You are an artist...

Singing Tip - Make your own frame of reference

Lyrics:
Well, the wind is pickin' up,
and the sea is gettin' rough.
Midday has turned to dusk,
and we're feelin' Iike we're fucked.
Yet, still, we can't get enough
'cause somehow we get some love
for spillin' out our guts
about each time we've been fucked,
and each time that we have fucked,
and each time we've lost our trust,
and each time we've showed disgust
each time we treat time with fuss.
Each time, every time, we must
treat each time like we're in lust.
Otherwise, each time will pass and we'll
have lost each time. For what?

Absolutely nothing, baby.
Do you trust me? Yes or maybe?
Don't be shy, babe, come persuade me.
Spill it out, now, don't be angry.
I just want you. You're my baby.
Learned to trust you. You've regained me.
Fear to love you. Yes, it pains me.
Still, I'll fuck you. You'll repay me.

Somehow I still feel this is right.
And I can't put up no more fight.
If this consumes me, then so be it.
We'll be in movies, or some 'd' skit.

I'm just kiddin'.
I'm just joshin'.
Why fuss hauntin'
all my dreams when
you're just kiddin',
and just joshin'.
You're just hauntin'
my dreams because you can.

Why you gotta fuck with me?

I'm gonna take hold of you.
Throttle your neck until you're blue.
Don't think once that this dude
won't make you swallow what you've chewed.

Oracles (with One Man Verity Show)

Feel that pain it happens when you care
Lean right in, embrace it if you dare
Dangerous days, perilous nights
I’ll take the reins, hold on tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

One step first, my love is all you need
Soon your thirst for more will set you free
Joyful days, blissful nights  
 Sit with me, hold me tight

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me
  
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Don’t hold back cos life won’t wait
If there’s never love, there’ll never be loss              
We’ll all be shielded but at what cost

Life has taught you to protect yourself
To not take the fall, stay back from the edge
But love might be right within your reach
If you risk falling for me
Risk the fall for me

Risk the Fall

Lyrics:

Condescending never ending writings on the wall
There's a place in time where you will find 
Retribution for your crimes

It's not the end of time, it's the end of life as you knew it 
so ask yourself how are you supposed to get through it, get through it 

Guitar Solo 

How many times have you lost your mind believed those lies just to get left behind,
you were told on the day you die no Second Chance can't say goodbye 

Was it the church that made you this way did they kick you out when you tried to pray

 Heaven never wanted you 
and the devil never heard of you 

You were given a shovel so dig your hole You made a deal with the Devil he gets your soul

 ohh ohh you're fading away, 
fading away, you're fading away, 
keep fading away, fading away,
 fading away, fading away
