Story Behind the Song
A lyrical, narrative journey into the life and times of the struggling musician. This first person depiction is something that anyone who dedicates themselves to what they do at the expense of personal relationships and financial gain should be able to relate to.
Lyrics
"...SPEAK ON IT NOW, 'CAUSE I CAN'T HEAR YOU,
LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SINGING...
DONT BE AFRAID, LET THE MUSIC REIGN....
SPEAK ON IT LEIGH, 'CAUSE I WANNA SEE
ANGELS FLYING HIGH, FLYING IN THE SKY...
DONT BE AFRAID, LET THE MUSIC REIGN SUPREME."
EVERY TIME MY SONG SINGS...ANOTHER ANGEL
GETS ITS WINGS...
Now Leigh, on the hood of my ride,
Underneath the night sky, gettin high...
Contemplating...They say its coming but I'm
Sick of waiting..And the lights in the studio are irritating...
Try to get the music rollin' out,
Everybody says its fly, but the money holdin' out, and I'm sick of waiting;
Vile and wild, be like a crazy shot...
Out to give it everything I got...
GOT FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME ALOTTED...
I take a shot but do I got what it takes to
finish what I started?
THESE BE THE THOUGHTS ON MY MIND:
Am I wastin' my time, every night after work
When I create the rhyme?
And come time to take my shot will I be hittin?
The SIX LIGHT...Is it nothing but my ego trippin?
Time to jet out....Enough for the night;
Turn out the lights in the studio...And then I'm out yo...
And the music is in my head like Triplemind,
it must have happened when I stood in the
Shadows of the Pyramids...
I went to Egypt when I was just a kid...
It left a young G fellin' free-spirited...
Check the other thing I did...
Leaned against the wall of the Taj Mahal;
How many of y'all get to know what thats like? That's right...
I guess I gotta give props out to mom and pops for trying to ure a youngster...
The first born...
STARRING AT THE STARS IM A SPACEMAN...
From a million miles away...I want a taste man; The war leaves me worn...
I gotta keep goin; like a mission gotta keep pushin on and on and on;
Aint fin to feel like a million man hike
might be needed to keep the man hyped...
I GUESS WARHOL HAD IT RIGHT...I GUESS WARHOL HAD IT RIGHT....
The night is colder, with a question mark I leave ya; BOB LAID THE TRACK GAVE ME A CHANCE TO TAKE A BREATHER; Believe you me,
I needed that..Lyrics and producing, engineering had me stressin out; and as a
Wise man said, "I can't deny it...Many times I thought of quitting baby, but my heart just wouldn't buy it,"
Out to show ya, when the crescent moon
passes over, you'll see a young G screamin' out "told ya!!!"
And Let it Reign Down.....
...Reign Down On Me...
