Made the beat by playing some on my guitar. It is mostly in A pentatonic Scale and is quite slow with only 70(?) BPM. Atleast it's banging, and i'm telling you. If you ain't got nobody, don't sit and wait til you get rescued!

Story behind the song
Sat down with my guitar one day, started playing some fingerpicking in A minor. Had this little tweek i wanted to apply to the beat. Then, it didn't work so i improviced some other stuff which is the second layer guitar on the beat. I was like, hell yeah this is banging stuff. The drums was kicking and i needed the bass to fill it's purpose. So i added 4 Vst's and layered them together to mix synth and orchestral samples into the bass. I felt, this is really hot, but it will get boring without some singin'. So i tried the first time, wasn't a real success. I had made the lyrics, blues style. Telling you how life works and what not to do or expect. I tried singin' it the first time, but my ideas sucked, so i tried again, two takes. One low singing, and one main layer on the other, panned them 20% to each side and bam, hook was catchy and bangin. Then i let it lay for a day or two, moved my "office" and finnished the writing and the beat, then i layed down the raps on it. Had to try afjew times to find out the way i wanted it. Mixing took some time, didn't find the sound i wanted at first but in the end that worked too. And the rest of that day i keept bumpin' this track on my sterio. I have to admit, i love the sound of this track, i'm proud.
Lyrics
Everybody's looking down on you, Wondering what the hell you gon' do. And though all the words you hear, Are nice, i swear, the evil roots lie there. You see it while you walkin' They analyse the way you talkin' Everybody's looking down on you, Wondering what the hell you gon' do. People are curious, Wonder what they hit, gotta see it, But it's just a person, layin face down in the concrete. Covered with blood, if you need help you gotta smile, While you lay in the mud, understand this world is hostile. If you got the wrong style, nobody gon' help you out, Another day another Drought, it's dry without a Doubt. On route for demolishion, you dont need no instruction, for destruction, lets say that your ass got abducted. Who cares if you ain't on the news? If they ain't payed? Nobody you idiot, if you alone you gon' stay that way. We don't like strangers, it's been this way for ages, I know you cus i knew him who paid your wages. (Uh) This is serrious i don't know if ya'll are hearing this, You think somebody's ugly, guess what she thinks she is? What most people refeer to as Love you know... It ain't really worth sh** , it's just a part of their ego. (CUS) Everybody's looking down on you, Wondering what the hell you gon' do. And though all the words you hear, Are nice, i swear, the evil roots lie there. You see it while you walkin' They analyse the way you talkin' Everybody's looking down on you, Wondering what the hell you gon' do. Your rumour might be sh** ty... ya'll with me? Even though you say something witty, you know. People go on like, because that person there, Who i met last year talked about the sh** you wear, I won't go near you ... truth be told i'm moving alone, Really we all do, only difference is you drag someone along. He who is friend with all got nobody but his guitar, You don't stand me close, cus i don't know who you are. (understand) Everybody's looking down on you, Wondering what the hell you gon' do. And though all the words you hear, Are nice, i swear, the evil roots lie there. You see it while you walkin' They analyse the way you talkin' Everybody's looking down on you, Wondering what the hell you gon' do. Put your hate in the holster, and let's take a ride with the rollercoaster called life. No reason to strife against eachother, why bother? You'll only lose... yo this is my blues....
