"WONDERLAND" - Playa Tayla Red

______________________________________________

My names Playa Tayla, an I dont give a f*ck,

I love to party, yo baby, was up?,

Come over here, meet me and my crew,

Ya say that yer bored, ya want something to do?,

I'll be straight to the point, that somethin is someone,

That someone is me, There's magic in my tongue,

More magic awaits, if I think that your worth it,

Ya like whips and chains?, That's just scratchin the surface,

Let's get freaky tonight, Bring all of ya friends,

No need for more guys, playa love never ends,

I need to re-up, a road trip to the forest,

It's the end of this verse, so let's start the chorus.


~HOOK~

I'll take you to a place that you've never been,

It's called WONDERLAND where the rivers run Gin,

The waterfalls are juice, with a valley of chronic,

Need mushrooms or thizzles? Ya know that I got 'em,

No existence of pain, in this place I love livin,

Your worlds so different, when you keep on trippin,

The place WONDERLAND with the sexiest hoes,

Where there's always a party, and everyone knows...

When I pass, please, pray for me,
Much clown love, to the family,

And to my own, my world, my two,
ALWAYS REMEMBER, I'm here for you,

In this life, or in the next,
I'll always be there, in your chest,

My handsome son, and gorgeous daughter,
Please don't forget, your loving father,

Not jus me, but God above,
Pray to him, an feel his love,

When life is rough, all shoulders cold,
Remember God, cares not for gold,

He cares for you, my two sweet worlds,
Daddy's boy, and Daddy's girl,

My dear sweet Mary, My big boy Jay,
I'll miss you so, in every way,

The birth I've witnessed, the one I've missed,
You both are blessed, with Daddy's kiss,

I'm sorry kids, for all I've done,
Please promise me, You'll love your mom(s)?,

This only thing, I ask of you,
Is to those women, your always true,

This one thing, I could not do,
And now I'm stuck, in life, no clues,

My worst regrets, not sins, but lies,
About addiction, untold of nights,

If I had one wish, It'd have to be,
Us all together, a family,

Life's not so simple, so do your best,
Make mother happy, and God will bless,

Now I'm here thinkin, all by myself,
Forever hurting, no care for wealth,

Even if I was rich, it wouldn't be for me,
But for those who helped, in my family tree,

But not jus bro(s), dad(s), sis or mother(s),
But the homies too, and the O-G brotha's,

Those that were there, thorough the pain and fun,
With a couple bucks, or a shoulder to cry on,

A deep long kiss, full of expression,
The true love making, mistakes, depression,

One shot left, and it's in the chamber,
But I couldn't do it, what if they fall in danger?,

I'ma take small steps, and keep on prayin,
Fuck wit my family, and I'm done playin,

It ain't fun an games, when shit gets real,
It all goes black, with a liscense to kill,

Throughout my life, I'm underestimated,
The things I COULD do, plans I've contemplated,
All the ones I love, and not one I've hated,
But your pushin me close, staight instigatin,
I'm gettin so close, to consider hatin!

This next verse goes out, to my one an my only... My true love, MY 'Lissa...

I've cared TOO much, now the pain is deep,
You grew up ghetto, I stuck to da streets,
Had it all when I was young, but it never felt right,
To be sleepin like a baby, with my homies out all night,
We gotta fight hard, for what we believe in,
Keep our chin up, while goin on throughout the seasons,
If I could go back, and make my wrongs to rights,
I wouldn't be here now, contemplating my own life,
This pain hurts somethin wicked, life is harder than a diamond,
I'd put a ring up on your finger, if it only kept you smilin,
I can't take back my mistakes, if only you'd believe me,
Doesn't mean that I can't change, but it's hard when we keep beefin,
Lookin at it all now, I see nothin up ahead,
But this single silver bullet, and the thoughts of bein dead,
This ain't a rap song, it's a letter that I'm writin,
To all the ones who care, all I thinkl about is dyin...

"Do or Die" - Playa Tayla Red

||| © Copyright 2011-2012 - Taylor W. Smith |||
______________________________________________

INTRO:
I'm a man, I gotta take care of my family,
Findin this precious in my life,
And though my mind is on shinin an gettin grammys,
But these streets won't say goodbye,

I can't say good-

Bye, must Try, cuz its do or die,

I got one more chance,

To make things right,

I gotta be flawless,

Close to perfection,

I must show my love,

That I've learned my lesson,

Prove to my self,

and prove to others,

That I can be a father,

A loyal brother,

That I care for everyone,

An not jus myself,

Cuz real happiness,

Is more valuable than wealth,

Lifes been crazy,

And I've learned a lot,

There are much worse things,

Than jus a lil of pot,

Family is for ever,

and friends forever NOT,

The homies only there,

When the benefits are hot,

And if he gets caught,

He doesn't hesitate to squeal,

I'd rather live free,

Than take a new plea deal,

I'm always there for friends,

But they ain't never there for me,

That's why this ain't for them,

It's for my family...

______________________________________________


=Verse 1=

My name is Taylor, to you that is R-E-D,

Ya'll best be learning quickly, not to fuck wit me,

I'm original, but I sure as hell ain't no gangsta,

I got limitless potential, to see your album go bankrupt,

I got the 1-ups, I have no need for extra lives,

Already broken, so I don't need the extra wives,

I'm careless, soulless, I'm the heartless Taylor Red,

Everybody loves me, yet there's a price upon my head,

I've tried repenting, I've drank the water-broke the bread,

Yet my life won't be complete, until the day that I am dead,

Payback from the karma, for everyone I've hurt,

The day that I die, world peace will cover earth.

=HOOK=

"Against All Odds V.2" - Playa Tayla Red

||| © Copyright 2011-2012 - Taylor W. Smith |||
______________________________________________

I hate everybody, in this world that I live in,

Everybody's takin', not a single soul is givin',

I hate everything, and I hate everybody,

And I shoulda pulled the trigger, left the driver's seat bloody,

But I couldn't do it, I stayed alive for my two kids,

I'm regretting my existence, and the past that I have lived,

I don't see 'em anymore, they don't know who daddy is,

They may never know their father, since he's just a piece of shit,

Daddy's loves his two, but he's a failure in this life,

I couldn't do it with the gun, and I failed with the dull knife,

If I'm alive for a reason, than please send me a sign,

I am free to choose my death, since the life I live is mine,

Death is so appealing, when you've lost what matters most,

Death isn't so scary, I'm already just a ghost,

Love is just a bitch, and it brings on too much pain,

So what is the new method, overdose or maybe train,

I could try the knife again, but I doubt that I can rock it,

If I had a gun again, I already would of shot it,

Nobody cares to help, with all this pain I'm reminiscin',

If I left this world now, who would really be left missin...?

=HOOK/INTRO=

"Woman hold ya' head and cry,

'cause a son-

has been shot down,

in the streets and died.

Woman hold ya' head and cry,

'cause a son-

has been shot down,

in the streets and died."


=Verse 1=

I don't know what to do,

I'm stuck here strugglin' in life,

I'm empty and alone.

On this one way bus ride,

I'm contemplating shit,

That I ain't never thought about,

I'm beggin ya'll to listen,

So please jus here me out,

I'm strugglin to see,

The almightys deeper meanin',

I'm tryin hard to change,

But my past jus keeps on screamin,

I don't know what to do,

So God please send a sign,

Beause now that I am free,

I ain't doin no more time,

I have my family to raise,

And the one that needs they son,

I cannot fall back,

Cause my chances are done,

I feel no more love,

At least not for myself,

I prefer the humble joy,

Over any lonely wealth...


==HOOK==

=VERSE 2=

I'm click-clack, so get back,

It's shoot first, and then ask,

I'm depressed, at my best,

My past life, laid to rest,

I don't know, what to do,

So help me, to help you,

I'm hurtin, don't mind me,

God please, come find me,

Without help, I'm nothin,

If laughin, I'm bluffin,

I'm so mad, and so sad,

A failure, as a dad,

It's painful, I'm hurtin,

I hate life, I'm certain,

Can't go on, any-more,

Cause my life, is a bore,

It's lacking, excitement,

Happiness, and nice shit,

Love is lust, or is lost,

I'm unsure, what's the cost,

To be real, to know truth,

I'll end this, all for you,

It's too late, don't save me,

Not worth it, so hate me,

All anger, is for me,

Despise me, abhor me,

Used to it, so don't care,

My last chance, is right here,

I am lost, can't be found,

If you try, get beat down,

I hate all, who loath me,

I fail all, who know me.

This song I write's,

About the road to life,

And how it can be cut short,

By a needle or knife,

My homie Jay,

He overdosed on Christmas Day,

But not from this herb,

That lets me get away,

He went to a party in two thousand an eight,

I called the next mornin',

Was two thousand an late,

His wife answered cryin,

She was prayin for God,

Now if I woulda been there,

Could I have made it all stop...?

 

You have some very interesting lyrics. You're really good. I'd definitely love to hear you actually rap though.

 

I would love to, lackin da mic though. I'll spit mad freestyle's wit da homies on a daily basis pretty much.

 

You're a boss, Rob. Try and get a mic!

 

DONE!

Hi, Rob.
I think you should maybe edit a few of the lines in "Suicide Letter". I think some of them just don't really fit into common time, as it's difficult to put in triplets in common time, etc. and it wouldn't really be worth putting it into 6/8, 9/8 or 12/8.

I think that the violin goes well with it, but maybe rather than having a straight melody throughout, try different variations (A1, A2, B1, A3, A4, B2) assuming A is like a verse, and B is the chorus.

 

Thanks for your feedback, "The Suicide Letter" was written to my ex-fiance back in July/August 2011 when I was dealing deeply and regrettably with depression. That is why I haven't changed it - the sentimental meaning behind the lyrics. I fucked up-she hates me, and so I have no reason to ever promote it.

I have more coming soon, so if you like my shit, keep an eye out!

 

You need to get a mic, Trying to imagine it been sang however my impression is terrible, I am positive yours would be better

 

I got a mic. Here's another version of my "So Lost"...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gku1RfiPFL4

Legit shit in my opinion.

 

New lyrics added to the first post. Check 'em.

 

New song added, "Inspiration". Been working on this one for years, never seems to progress, but it must be perfect for those who dwell in the sky. I owe it to them for all they've done for me.
