This retro track is really a mashup of two different little freestyles of mines. I broke em up and changed/rewrote four bars into a chorus. As usual, my language, especially in the first verse, should be your biggest clue that this is indeed an old track 🙂 As far as my rap music goes, this tracks has more of a hood feel to it. You know, that mix of gunspeak, braggadocio and that all important dash of ignorance 🙂 The beat has changed a few times as I was never quite satisfied with how it sounded. I eventually settled on […]
SB Retro: Vagrant Story – PlaceWhereYouDie
Vagrant Story (Place Where You Die) SB Retro: Vagrant Story (PlaceWhereYouDie) by SilencioBarnes Rap and Hip Hop Music by SilencioBarnes – unsorted and various About Vagrant Story (Place Where You Die) Yup, another old retro track. Vagrant Story is yet another song about the hood…more or less 🙂 As far as any of my rap music goes, you can tell this one is old just by the language I use. I recorded to the beat of the Money, Cash, Hoes song by Jay-Z (featuring DMX and produced by Swizz Beats) from his Hard Knock Life album. The title comes from an […]
SB Retro: Spit Bombs
SB Retro: Spit Bombs About the Song “Spit Bombs” Spit Bombs is just a really old track I did back in the day. For some reason, to this day, many still consider it some of my best stuff despite it only really being something of a freestyle. Many will recognize the beat from Missy’s Hot Boyz remix featuring Nas (Eve and Q-Tip too). As far as my rap music goes, I do think the lyrics of this track are a good example of just what my style was about at the time. Lyrics to “Spit Bombs” Every time I speak on, […]
Deliverance from Dark
Trapped within the twilight searching for the sun Dead soldier’s playground I’m searching for a gun Red red riding hood she came to have some fun I see her dancing with the night she tells me I should come – along And dance and dance and dance to her song I glance askance cuz something seems wrong There is no music – there is no day There’s just the darkness, the silence of the grave Walking with my hands out searching for the wall Looking for the thing that will save me from the fall Dead dead tired wanna die […]
These Skillz
These Skillz – Yea, it was just for fun 🙂 Beat by Big B of course – He’ll probably remix it after I send him the vocals 😉 I’ll add the acappella and more info later. The problem with questions is sometimes they lieThe problem with torture is, sometimes they dieBe careful with the blowtorch, sometimes they crySometimes the flesh bubbles, sometimes it fries At first they get real wet but blood always driesIgnore them when they scream out questions like whyJust go about your business, and keep away fliesAnd even if they beg for life you should deny There’s […]
Prevail
About the Song “Prevail” A friend of mines listened to the beat and suggested I attempt an uplifting song. Something to motivate people with a message of hope…and this is what I came up with. Unfortunately, the version you hear is not a perfect representation of the vision I had for this song. Also, it should be noted that I lost the original recording and had to piece it back together from a broken up temp file. Some stuff is missing. The beat is called “Save Me.” It was produced by my dude in the UK, Big B. As such, […]
Which Path
About “Which Path” “Which Path” is composed of some very old lyrics. I rewrote a bit of it for uniformity after recording the original and not liking how it meandered. I changed the name as well. Originally it was called “Word Life,” and the chorus was very different. I will add some of the original lyrics at the bottom of the post for comparison. This song is meant to convey the thought process of an individual as they struggle with what they feel their life is about. Much like the song “3Interpretations“, it’s told from different viewpoints, all of which […]
Lost and Gone
Lost and Gone I’m losing, lost the trust in you I’m going, gone, what’s left to do I’m holding on to the lies you tell Our hearts move on their blood-stained trails I’m losing, lost the trust in you I’m going, gone, what’s left to do I’m holding on to the lies you tell Our hearts move on their blood-stained trails Now, what could it mean when it seems we’re stuck between What we once were and what we became once we were clean It really seems to me that we were drugs and we were fiends Cuz I couldn’t […]
