Elmo Magalona(Chorus)
Guess who’s the new kid on the block
Taking my game straight to the top
Knocking these joints out one by one
3 stars and the son, we just havin fun
Verse 1
I know I’m 17 but I got big dreams
3 stars I’m the son yeah that’s my team
Rocking shows that’s my thing, though I don’t wear no bling
I got my own swag lemme show you what I mean
Y’all know my name, I’m switchin lanes for fame
Big shoes to fill, I got it all for real
I represent for my pop, rest in peace with the God
I’m the untouchable kid, ain’t no time to stop
All the lessons I’m learnin, stay on my grind as I’m workin
Got all the help that I’m gettin, haters back up get ya steppin
Pop’s got my back up in heaven, yo I know he be watchin
Guidin me through this while I be spittin, Imma make him proud ‘til I finish yup
(Chorus)
Verse 2
By now y’all know what the business is
While other kids play this boy’s serious
Ain’t got no time for the booty poppin, I see them ladies jockin
Now watch what I say when the beat comes knockin
Hot and fresh out the kitchen, I’m young and fly with a mission
Now listen up pay attention, ain’t no such thing as a problem
Cuz all I got is solutions, the future’s here gotta love it
I’m having fun while I live it, crossing ova dunk while I’m winning
All the time in the world, get with the girls, stay in school gotta live n’ learn
Don’t drink don’t smoke not my concern, shining star crash and burn
Just tryna be somebody while I rock your party

Knocking these joints out one by one

3 stars and the son we just having fun
(Chorus)
More Than The City Lights
Written by Vince Filamor
Sung by, uh, well, me.If you know what’s good for you, you’ll listen to this.
Vince writes amazing songs.
He asked me to cover this 2 weeks ago, but I only got to do it this morning (hehe sorry for the delay). This version’s rather raw considering it was recorded right after I woke up. So yes. Hello, morning voice.I should really stop recording after waking up.
Another experimental song. Calling this one “Concrete”.
Decided to be brave and use a certain feature in Garageband I avoid (heh). You’ll figure out what said feature is once you listen to the song. Personally, I detest anyone who uses the feature to “enhance” their voice quality. Well actually, it’s okay when you want your voice to have the electronic/robotic vibe to match a song, but if you’re gonna use it for every gosh darn song you have, might as well rip out your voice box and shove some circuits, a motherboard and cheap speakers down your throat/up your ass (whichever you prefer).
Used my dad’s laptop to edit and record this. It was fun using a built-in microphone for a change and record while lying down (DON’T YOU FUCKING JUDGE ME, I GET LAZY, OKAY, I’M ONLY HUMAN). The only “real instrument” in this song is, well, my voice. The other two tracks (drums and the weird muffled bass-ish line you hear in some parts of the song) are software instruments - drums were played on a loop and the bass bits were played by “typing” on my keyboard.
I’m quite happy with how this one turned out. It’s not the FINAL final version yet, though. I’m planning to fix the arrangement and add a few more tracks. The flow from one verse to the other doesn’t seem quite right. The song can be divided into 2 chunks. The verses seem to give off different yet meshable (is this even a word?) vibes… like they have their own personalities or something. Kind of like 2 people who are almost totally different in every way, but still get along pretty well and are actually best friends. I know my analogy is fail, but just bear with me. I am not good with words.
I apologize in advance for any other experiments I let loose on your dashboards.
I’m enjoying the whole experimenting thing. [Which is rizzacode for “LOL IMMA BE FLOODING YOUR DASHBRDS WITH SENSLSS SHT I CALL EXPRMNTL MUZC LOLOLOL IMMA DO DIZ EVERY WEEK LOLOLOL OR WHNVR I FIND TIME TO MAKE NOISE AND ULL ALL BE FORCD TO LSTN TO IT COZ COZ COZ YEAH”]
cool, techno…. “..Watch the automobiles bleed..”
