Lyrics:

I spend a lot of time online
Tryin' to find the reason why
Don't know how they don't see me
Don't know why they can't see me
Must be the hashtag
I got it all wrong
'Cause I just can't get past that
'Bout to put my phone up

Sometimes, I'm rhythm and sometimes I'm blues
That's what it's like when you walk in my shoes
I know a lot about paying my dues
I know a lot of you hopin' I lose
The way it's looking right now
Can't say I blame ya
We in a pandemic, still radio spinnin' my records
When I'm independent just playin' it cool
But, I be at home just like you
Lookin' around, won'drin what we can do
People fight over the red and the blue
Darker the skin then the deeper the wounds
I'm just sayin' we all tryna make it
So, don't bother to follow me
If you cannot take it

I spend a lot of time online
Tryin' to find the reason why
Don't know how they don't see me
Don't know why they can't see me
Must be the hashtag
I got it all wrong
'Cause I just can't get past that
'Bout to put my phone up

Got them filters
I be checkin'
But, I still love my imperfections
No disrespectin'
Just a little bit of introspection
'Cause I know there's so much more than
What a picture can say
So, I'll take my scars and my flaws any day
Thankful to God that He made me that way
But, I be at home just like you
Lookin' around, won'drin what we can do
Sometimes, I like a reason to get cute
Them pics be fire, but you keep it on mute
I'm just sayin' we all tryna make it
So, don't bother to follow me
If you cannot take it

I spend a lot of time online
Tryin' to find the reason why
Don't know how they don't see me
Don't know why they can't see me
Must be the hashtag
I got it all wrong
'Cause I just can't get past that
'Bout to put my phone up

They say that followers is dollars
So, I'm tryna keep my count up
Gotta leverage what I've been blessed with
Yeah, I might give you a shout out
And for a mention, all you gotta pay is some attention
Long enough to give me a like
But this ain't life
And this ain't right
This ain't my hype
And now you got me tight
'Cause I'm goin' in circles 
Over the right angle to pose
And can't find my light
Swear that I'm tired and so uninspired
You only admire me when you can boast
Make me wanna get ghost
Drive down the coast and just chill for a night
Under the sky, with the moon and the stars
Turn my notifications off...
Yeah, right

I spend a lot of time online
Tryin' to find the reason why
Don't know how they don't see me
Don't know why they can't see me
Must be the hashtag
I got it all wrong
'Cause I just can't get past that
'Bout to put my phone up

I spend a lot of time online
Tryin' to find the reason why
Don't know how they don't see me
Don't know why they can't see me
Must be the hashtag
I got it all wrong
'Cause I just can't get past that
'Bout to put my phone up

Lyrics:

Problem is
Got a little too confident for ya
For ya
Didn’t I?
Don’t like it when I throw up the Westside
Can’t stand it when I pull up in my ride
No
That bass be bangin’ like the beat in your heart
I know you takin’ it hard
And this ain’t no false alarm
I hit that trigga
Trigga
Trigga
Yeah
I’m your trigga
Trigga
Trigga

So gone ahead and make some noise for me
Make some noise for me
Oooh
Gone ahead and make some noise for me
Make some noise for me
For me
For me
Used to have a lotta love for me
Now you just stay bumpin’ them gums, homie
But gone ahead and
Make some noise for me
Oooh

That clap back
You sat back
I’m runnin’ ‘round
You panic
Movin’ your lips
Nothin’ new to this
True to this
Oooh, we lit
Oooh, we lit

‘Cause I done more than hit the pavement
‘Nuff to make a statement
Do it for the home team, even when they changin’
For a lil change, people do some funny thangs
Still, I rep the City of Trees every time you see me
‘Cause I want ‘em to see how much they mean to me
How much they mean to me
‘Cause this ain’t just for me
This is for all the ones who didn’t come up with a lot
For the ones who was told that they would never ever have a shot
But took a chance on a layup, now they laid up lookin’ at what they got
What they got

Up top, on the block with a clear view
Never look too hard in the rear view
Two hands on the wheel
Never let ‘em steer ya
That’ll make ‘em feel ya
I hit that trigga
Trigga
Trigga
Yeah, I said it and I’m hopin’ that they don’t forget it

So gone ahead and make some noise for me
Make some noise for me
Oooh
Gone ahead and make some noise for me
Make some noise for me
For me
For me
Used to have a lotta love for me
Now you just stay bumpin’ them gums, homie
But gone ahead and
Make some noise for me
Oooh

The Next Step

Shawn Raiford : The Next Step

Dial in your riffs and runs with this soulful and thoughtful Vocal Warmup & Exercise! My adlib philosophy for my clients (like Yelly, Elle Nikole) has always been "sing 'em if you've got 'em." Believe producers are looking for precision though; they'll stop ya if the adlibs are sloppy or choppy.

Precision requires LISTENING first. So, the vocal track is way over the top of the music so you can hear the detailed DYNAMICS and DIRECTION  of the notes being sung.

This slow track gives you plenty of time to work on executing every single note of your adlibs on pitch, with the right feel, without losing your emotion or attitude.

A clean, well-executed adlib is better than a complicated one every time!

Far as I knew
We was on a break
So why you lookin’ at me
Like this was a big mistake
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate
So, while you wait
Far as I knew
We was on a break
Yeah...

God as my witness
I'm pretty good at forgiveness
But I'm better at minding my business
So, boy, don't you try it now
‘Cause some just be here for seasons
And you know I got my reasons
We fell so far from dreamin’
Bobbin’ and weavin’

Now you say you can't believe what I've done
Funny to mention when you was the one
Sayin’ that you thought that we needed space
Had a little bit too much on your plate
Yeah
Now, you up in my place
And you up in my face
Such a waste
Talkin’ bout things that I cannot erase

Far as I knew
We was on a break
So why you lookin’ at me
Like this was a big mistake
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate
So, while you wait
Far as I knew
We was on a break
Yeah...

Picture them pictures I got in my phone
If that's what you want
Checkin’ that call log to see who been callin me
When I'm at home all alone
You in a zone
Don't like your tone
Could it be that I finally outgrown
Chasin’ the bone
And what you been on
Matter fact, this might just be my best song

Now you say you can't believe what I've done
Funny to mention when you was the one
Sayin’ that you thought that we needed space
Had a little bit too much on your plate
Yeah
Now, you up in my place
And you up in my face
Such a waste
Talkin’ bout things that I cannot erase

Far as I knew
We was on a break
So why you lookin’ at me
Like this was a big mistake
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate
So, while you wait
Far as I knew
We was on a break
Yeah...

Far as I knew
We was on a break
So why you lookin’ at me
Like this was a big mistake
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate
So, while you wait
Far as I knew
We was on a break
Yeah...

Wait
Let’s it take it easy, boy 
All on my phone tryna reach me, boy 
Hol’ up,  hol’ up
He was just a friend 
We was tryna roll up 
Ya ni me dices hola
Donde están tus modales? 
Estoy mucho mejor sola 
Y eso lo sabes 
Boy, you really outta line 
You ain’t gonna change my mind 
You know I’m in the right this time 
Like every time
Let me remind ya 
That our love was at stake 
All that talk that you’re talking is fake 
Baby, that’s right
We was on a break

Far as I knew
We was on a break
So why you lookin’ at me
Like this was a big mistake
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate
So, while you wait
Far as I knew
We was on a break
Yeah...

Far as I knew
We was on a break
So why you lookin’ at me
Like this was a big mistake
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate
So, while you wait
Far as I knew
We was on a break
Yeah...

Far as I knew
We was on a break
Por qué me miras como si to’ esto fuera un mistake? 
You got a habit of talkin’ before you contemplate 
Admite babe, mmm
We was on a break
Yeah...

Hey there! Welcome to my corner of SoundCloud! I'm all about helping singers find their groove and turn their passion into a paycheck. For 22 years, I've been a secret weapon for many artists like Yelly, Elle Nikole, and Greg Scott (SONGLAND winner). 

And yeah, I'm really a doctor of psychology. I'm into the mental as much as these instrumentals! 😉
