Hi D,
nice song and a valid story that your telling, well done. The only thing that really strikes me is these lines and in particular the starts and begins words, and how they are a repetition.
Starts when your
little
begins when your
young
I swear to you
Mama
I didn't take
none
Im not quite sure how I would change it but I would be looking to say something like
"The lies may be little they begin when your young"
Other than that I like it.
cheers
Paul
Thanks Guys yes I am not totaly satisfied with all the Lyrics but I like the story. What happened is that the melody was so good that I decided to keep the first one I wrote for a future song and had to come up with a new melody which put me behind the 8 ball. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Sabalo
I think this shows a good developing scenario with a very valid message behind it. I particularly likethebridge - kind of ties the song up nicely.
Good stuff

You are what you eat, eat well
Thanks Bob
I appreciate the support on the site. I have to try and get a couple of these online they sound pretty good.

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
