"Personalities"

What up y'all I've been digging through my book of rhymes and came across this song called "Personalities" I wrote about 3 years ago, check it out :

"Personalties"

Written By Big Ted

Verse One:

I shouldn't doubt who I am

I should be proud of who I am

I shouldn't let the world decide how I'm a man

'Cause not out for my benefit

If I don't shout out a care in it

I need to be showin' how I'm now winnin'

When I don't hold myself back

Measuring myself against what others done is wack

I'm not trying to boast at all

I'm just trying to hold on tall

That's what my personality is made of

I got that energy to stay up

My plot is specifically built to play tough

Even if I gain victory, others will still say stuff

But I have to ignore that

I can't hold back

I ask myself: why do I keep rappin'?

It's a task in itself, but maybe it's also a deep passion

It's not about the cash or the wealth, if I had it

Or not I'd see myself still keep rappin'

I can't get weaker

When I nod my head to the speaker

I like the hardcore beats

When I rhyme, my heart pumps more beats

That's how I feel, you n'ah mean

For me rap's real, it's my freedom of speech

It's in my...

Chorus:

Personality

We all have one

Personality

Is who we are and where we came from

Personality

I'm glad I have my own

Personality

Verse Two:

Yo, it's hard 'cause of the propaganda

Y'all try to be stars so the world will stand ya

You can't see far with the ill demandings

It's hard to find the will of understanding

That you can't be who that person is

You can find that to be hurting

'Cause you can't recognise that you're a unique person

You don't have to compete with the other person

You ain't gonna win all the time

Nobody in the game's gonna win all the time

You have to find what you're good at

You can't hold your word bac

You have to show the world your own stand

On how you feel 'bout situations

On how you deal around confrontations

On how you're real now on demonstrations

When you display your creation

Represent your way to the nation

Don't get afraid to be accepted

Give your say and you'll be respected

Do somethin' that your people will be proud of

Doin' nothin' looks weaker, you got to be found tough

We ain't all gonna be famous

So it's important to know that there's other ways to get your say in

Don't feel that your life is wasted

Just be yourself, nobody can replace...

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Three:

As the years go on

It's get more clear to roll on

Ain't no time to fear, you gotta flow strong

You watch time pass on

And you see that you lose loved ones

Due to the fact that time don't stand still

Remember that time could run out, before all your plans are fullfilled

You have to keep the good memories

In order to be in the world surviving

All the hurt comes rising

It's important to hold on to what's positive

A lot of nonsense makes everythin' far from positve

You gotta make some sense to create some knowledge

Even if you have money for college

You can't worry 'bout it

We ain't gonna all be millionaires

It's more important to have the will to share

And respect that we won't always agree

Let's not bring violence into degree

Let's stop the violence when we disagree

There's too many people in this world

That can be on my nerves

Not everyone will like me

And my personality

I can't let 'em overwhelm me

I don't wanna bring drama on my family

And act around 'em all pissy

That's wack and doesn't represent me

Life's too short for me to change

Into something that'll make me look strange

I need to be myself and I'll be ok

That's right, I love my...[Repeat Chorus]

"It's a task in itself, but maybe it's also a deep passion" - dope line

"We ain't all gonna be famous

So it's important to know that there's other ways to get your say in" - really sticks out

That was a nice song overall. I think with the right beat, it could really uplift people's spirits who aren't sure they like who they are. Your so much like your role models. Making songs, and years from now, they are still relevant in the present day. Funny, I was diggin thru my rhymebooks last nite as well.

Yeah this song feels like I wrote it yesterday, it's like I saw kids in my high school tryin' to be somebody else that they weren't and I felt like I needed to address that, I always try to be who I am and not change who I am, thanks for the feedback!
