Encouragement (Holy Fire Edition)
So - no hiding here - the original was vocal samples through A.I. - and repetitive - So, I threw on some more of the original lyrics and did them in my own voice (starts about 1:08:50 - NOTE - this was literally another of my 1st run throughs - and I also had the microphone set weird - and, to top it off, somehow I deleted the normal voice only file and had to do extras and fill-ins based on a file with reverb or effects already added - so be gentle... Hahaha... I'm getting used to all the USB microphone and digital mixing stuff - the old ways with a 1/4" physical mic and an actual mixing board were easier to me.
Lyrics for the live vocals portion:
(A.I. Intro)
Listen, Prescriptions they come
From a place called Pharmacy...
Pharmakea in Greek,
The synonym is Sorcery,
Rappers drop drug names,
Portray them as glamorous,
I miss light-hearted days when -
Emcees would Hammer us, with -
How many words in a row -
They could rhyme, like
Sublime the Time flies
In the light known as Lime,
The Lamb of God was slain (was slain at)
The foundation of the earth (foundation of the earth)
(He's gonna)-
Come back to earth (back to earth)
Not romancing someone badly-
Playing games of Eternal poker, (Face it)
You been deceived...
The trending is alarming...
How much condoning of sin?
The Music industry is harming...
The youth of our world?
Completely foretold on a Biblical Page
(Completely foretold on a Biblical page)
Meanwhile, the old dragon’s rage...
His time’s running out... (out)
It's his final stage...
(A.I. bridge & chorus)
We're at the End Game now,
We're at the end of the Book,
Separated from God-
Is a really bad look...
Glorifying death a Body Bag-
On your album cover,
Your face inside...
Pride’s a real killer, brother,
Suicide is being pushed,
To the masses,
And you’re wondering why -
Our society collapses?
Some kids don't know -
What a light-hearted rap is,
Desensitized...
They all got dead synapses,
Brain works only-
On pure adrenaline...
Dopamine surging
Chemicals whittlin' away
At your senses...
Makes good health the villain...
Instead of God's Presence...
Need sleep-aids for chillin,
And it's chill-ing you're kill-ing -
Func-tion-al brain waves...
Nightly news blood spill-ing,
Acting surprised by early graves?
(Acting surprised by early graves?)
(A.I. Outro)more
