iTalent Contest Round 5 - Be prepared (Original song)

in #italent6 years ago (edited)

This is my entry for round 5. Thank you @ivan.atman for initiating this great contest!

This song is about my struggle with the world we live in. I'm saying be prepared to stand up for your rights. The system we live in doesn't serve us anymore.

Be prepared to be haunted because you just won't run away
Be prepared to be homeless because you still refuse to stay
Be prepared to be called a liar when you tell them what you see
Be prepared to fight against fire 'cos you're the rain the enemy

Oooh... be prepared

Be prepared that they won't let you when you try to set them free
Be prepared they'll try to get you when you even wish to be
Be prepared they'll try to scare you, try to knock you out
Be prepared they will arrest you if you speak your mind too loud

Oooh... be prepared

Be prepared they'll lock you out won't let you look behind their mask
Be prepared to get wrong answers 'cos they never dare to ask
Be prepared to be the price for everything you can't afford
Be aware, it would be wise if you praise another lord

Oooh... be prepared

They can fool some people sometimes
but they can't fool all the people all the time
(All credits for the last sentence go to Mr. Bob Marley)

Oh wow you are amazing ! First the message is exactly how I feel about society, and i your voice is mesmerizing. Thanks to @ivan.atman for sharing it, you are a true gem!
I am curious to know what you gonna do with the song? Do you have a production/arrangement in mind ?

I hear a mix Reggae Soul

Wow. Well thanks for feeling me and my message. That means a lot.
actually I didn't have anything in mind yet. I am just writing down the things that move me and what's gonna happen with it is a matter that I leave to the magic. Maybe this could be a opportunity to create some. Your idea sounds quite soothing. If you ever feel like creating something together find me on discord. Melavie#1713 :)

Yes please let's talk ! I would love to include Ivan too in the process !

Oh yes! Ivan is my inspirator! :)

I am struggling to add you on discord ! I am Ed Privat
