Ayo this is a Track from my mixtape The beat is produced By Awkwordz and Will be Featuring Fallen..(the hook is a sample so i dont have the lyrics)

first off abit about the track, u MUST read this i know its long But it basically Describes what i went Through wen writin the track

end of last year to the start of this year i was Signed Working with an independant Label..I had shit rollin finally i had a producer working with me. then Shit happens i told the Producer i wasnt gonna change my Style from underground to Commercial which basically Got him pissed and i left the label...Now i'd been left With an Mixtape and 1 completed Track which ment i had to find 14 other beats and 8 other producers and basically do it myself....Mid-way into my Mixtape..i came to point where u life stops everything goes wrong (every1 has been there)..And i actually Quit music (for a Day lmao) i put my mic away n erazed CEP...i didnt have the heart to Write music, I felt as of the Last 2 years of hard work was for nothing...i came to point where i wasnt Feel'n hiphop anymore nuthin excited me....7-8 months ago i cud get a beat and Rip it up...Now i just aint feeln Anybeats i get....after Sleepin on my decision to Quit i Realised i aint got nuthin if i quit music....ive quit everythin ive worked at....i mean peep my S/C page i was havin 5-6 New tracks every week at one point..now its barely 2 a month...Then Awkwordz Hit me up with a beat he made...and Straight Away the shit caught me..1 of them beats where it actually makes u think..and i came up with this Track.


title- Close my Eyes

-Hook-(dust in the wind-kansas)

[Verse 1 Briggzy]

Closed my eyes for a moment,now that Moments gone..
Cos it Seem's My Destiny will Play that Same old Song...
And as the days go on..N My Dreams become my distance..
the music i wrote, became my very own Existance..
for People to Listen, as im laying down tracks..
But it seems my Name became a Figure of the past..
n as i Close my Eyes n See Dreams Past my Face..
I try to grab them, but they just laugh with disgrace..
now im Granted my Faith..But we slowly Depart..
And the only thing i loved, had put a hole through my heart..
N If i'd Known From the Start, i probly Wouldnt do-this..
But then i cant Imagine my life Without my Music..
The Truth is,i always figured music Was my Destiny..
but i realise my music cud be the death of me..
But Whats Left Me..has become lost in a wish..
and if i died today..wud they forgotten i Exist..

-Hook-(dust in the wind-Kansas)

[Verse 2 Fallen]

-Hook- (Dust in the wind- Kansas)

[Verse 3 Briggzy]

the Ambition i had to match the men i worship..
Has now got me thinking, is all this shit worth-it..
Did i Earn-it?? Wen ur Pride turns to laugh at ya..
the fact is my Dreams have just become a Barrier..
To Carry-Ya, Through thoughts of being Betrayed..
As the music i love is slowly Running Away..
Am i becoming Afraid?? That i Failed in the Life..
an the Sins I've Commited am i paying the Price??..
Kids Saying im Nice...But im quickly forgotten..
will my Mixtape Fail? or will it help me Blossen??..
in this World......thats full of False Pretenses..
i'd Mastered my Music, but now ive Surrended..
to the Pain it brings..........with every failed Track..
but i dunno what i'd do if i cud turn the Clock back..
its not that im afraid..i've just lost the passion..
of making Music, which is becomin a Fashion..
and all im Askin..is to conqure my fears..
an continue writing the music that brought me to tears..
because i just dont know how u should feel inside..
as u no longer have dreams wen u close ur eyes..

sry man .... everyone shud get some kinda feed, lol ... ill do it ...

well quite clearly it had deep meaning ... an you showed that very well with the text u used ... i would like to hear it on audio just to catch the beat an see how you would make it flow . althought the flow wasnt bad ... it wasnt great .. but in songs its more difficult to add multis because you would lose your breath . the lyrical content here was good. because of the history behind the song it shows great character.

nice work.







I'm so fucking intelligent, half the time I don't even know what I'm saying...
