about
(Johnny Cosmic)
I know started around a random acapella KB had sent me of a song he had done with a different beat. I had never heard the song, so his vocal track was the only thing I had to go on.
My goal was to create music that fit his vocal line. In the chorus, I especially tried to compliment his vocals by mimicking his melody with, among other things, a Moog synth patch. Gooze also helped with piano keys for the chorus section and also a killer jazzy type solo in the bridge.
Out of all the beats I've put together, this one is another all time favorite
lyrics
I never thought that this life could be so hard
but as I look back now I think, oh my god
without a college education and a credit card
I really can't believe that I've made it this far
it always seems that authority stacks their cards
against the common man to make it extra hard
and in the back of my mind love is so bizarre
it doesn’t seem worth the fight once it falls apart
Chorus
(KnowledgeBorn07 and Johnny Cosmic)
And I know
Some things are true
And that’s pain is real
And nothings for sure dude
Even the calmest man can lose his cool
And it could be me and it could be you
And I know some things for sure
Some of the wisest people are the poor
Some of the dumbest ones are the rich
And it’s apparent when you see their lifestyle switch
I always fought against authority
gave back to poverty
stood for equality
that’s the way that I gotta be
I outta be runnin’ for the president
cause it’s so funny to see how their moneys spent
and it’s a rat race out to get the cheese
no matter how many kids they’re killin’ over seas
when did this world lose their feet
I wanna see the return of the family
Chorus
Cause I know
Some things are true
And that war is real
And nothings for sure dude
Even the sharpest man can lose his tools
And it could be me but it’s probably you
And I know
Some things for sure
Some of the wisest people are the poor
Some of the dumbest ones are the rich
And it’s apparent when you see their lifestyle switch
