After reading the songs that other people here have written, I was inspired to try to write a song on my own.  So I wrote this song, and this is the first real song I've ever written, so it's probably not as good as other songs people have written.  So tell me what you think of it.  I want honest feedback and advice so I can improve!  Ok well here it is: 
 
"All It Takes" 
 
Lately I feel like I`ve been having this dream 
That I would get up on a stage and just start to sing 
My heart out, telling people how I feel 
The crowd`s feeling my vibe and it felt so ill 
But I never ever thought that this dream could come true 
But it turns out anything can happen to you 
You can do anything as long as you try 
Add a pair of wings to your heart and you know you can fly 
You could fly so high you could touch the sky 
You have what it takes, don`t try and deny 
Don`t take my word for it, go ahead, try it out 
And soon enough, you`ll see what I`m all about 
 
CHORUS 
All it takes is a little inspiration 
To reach your destination 
All it takes is a little dedication 
To reach the point of inflation 
Where you feel like you can do anything 
As long as you stay committed and follow your dreams 
It`s really not as hard as it seems 
All it takes is a little inspiration 
 
I was inspired by other hip hop artists  
Who write great rhymes that are smart and honest 
They`re not just rapping about whack old things 
That have no apparent point or meaning 
They`re talking about things going on in life 
Along with the stress and pain they have to strive 
Of course these people are going to have a stash 
But they aren`t rapping just to get some cash 
They`re proving to the world that they can do something 
Instead of sitting around like a bum doing nothing 
They`re showing everybody what they can do  
And trust me, the same thing can happen to you 
You could be well-known, you could be discovered 
But it won`t ever happen if you don?t uncover 
Don`t take my word for it, go ahead, try it out 
And soon enough, you`ll see what I`m all about 
 
CHORUS 
 
It makes me sick, I`m telling you 
When I don`t see credit given where it`s due 
To the people who dedicate their lives to their dreams 
And all the critics want to do is make a scene 
I`m talking about people like Will Smith and LL Cool J 
They`ve been around a long time and still go a long way 
Why is it that some rappers` albums go multiplatinum 
When the ones that deserve it get gold as maximum? 
Probably `cause there`s not enough publicity 
There songs don`t get played on the radio or aired on tv 
But these people have true fans that recognize 
The true meaning of hip hop through their own eyes 
Don`t take my word for it, go ahead, try it out 
And soon enough, you`ll see what I`m all about 
 
CHORUS (2x)
