Thought I might as well take this opportunity to ask for opinions.
Really bare instrumentals with bad, bad, BAD vocal recording. Recorded in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep and I just had to have the melody down in case I forget. In no way is this close to how it would finally sound. Perhaps 60% of it?
Also, the lyrics for the second verse has changed, but I never got the opportunity to record the newer verse.
My idea is to have a collaboration between a few people on this. A different rapper for each verse, a vocalist to sing the chorus part, and a laptop musician to basically mess around with the instrumental. Found the other two missing pieces but I just need a vocalist for the chorus.
So if you are interested or know someone who might be interested and you think is suitable, let me know.
Thoughts are also welcomed... keeping in mind the short comings

Lyrics
In every moment of my life. In every second of my form.
It’s like I’m fighting to be something I was never before
That is why the words that I write are the very weapons I forged
It’s like I’m born with the mic on my umbilical cord
And with words, I wage war with the self I abhor
And with words, I went forth. All the hell I have gone
Through the very person that keeps screaming at my reflections
My inner demons within the brink of my existing void
Down to the core essence; torn between the need to be real
And the desire to express the naked thoughts that I feel
I tore the fibers of regret that got me caught in my ills
And walked the fire to ignite the very fuse of my will
But in reality, the will to thrill with the mic is at best
Is just a passion I kept grappling in the depth of my chest.
Is it worth it for this fire to be made to rest?
Or is it worth it to be fighting till the day of my death?
Chorus:
Is there a reason for this living?
Is there a reason for the battles in my way?
Is there a reason for this road I’m taking?
Cos it never seem to be the one that gets me to my place.
Is there a reason for this living?
Is there a reason for the battles in it?
Let me know,
(What’s the mission?)
Let me know,
(What’s the purpose?)
Let me know
(The reason for this languid existence?)
In my dreams, it’s not the power of the soldiers and clips
In my dreams, it’s not the power of the drillers and chips
It’s not power in the ranks, nor the power of the banks
Nor the power in the streets lined with barricades
Neither there’s power in the lives of the voices and fists
Among the fathers who are wounded by infinite shots
Among the mothers who are ruptured by their grieving thoughts
Among the brothers who are blinded by a pseudo cause:
“The furnace forging the future for our freedom is Force.
“We bear battle scars that have accumulated over the Intifada
“We wore the armour that disguised the fact
“That our pursuit for peace’s more like a suicide attack
“But when the fighting becomes the only hope, the only drive
“The only tangible reason keeping our souls alive
“Put a scope on our perspectives to the essence of war,
“And all the God damn reasons why our people keep on fighting for.”
