If You Could Do Better

Playlist

Poetic, thoughtful, lyrical. I sound like me and try not to make comparisons to other artists though my influences span decades.

Hi, my name is Derrick Thompson aka Darkwind, Deebo Da Iceman, Black Ice, Bishop. There are strong currents of social and religous thoughts that run through my text and my hope is to be able to transfer some of that to the music. I only hope you can take some time out and enjoy. Easy now, -D

If You Could Do Better
Written by Derrick Thompson 
October 12, 2009

Uh huh, D-Dub
Hey hey
Here to ask if you could do better...
Check it out

Intro:
If you could do better
Then you would
Don't act like you knew better
Misunderstood
Don't let ya moves doubleback on you
Better get it together soon
Stand up and move
Move!!
(2x)
<~~~~~~>

Verse 1
This a crazy race, you make a crazy face
Without vision, you livin' day-to-day
-N- Errtime the wind blow, you stray
Through windows of pain
To whatever thang you decide
To entertain
Play in a storm, ain't no way
For you to dodge the rain
Get warned, do ya thang
Get torn out ya lane
Then get the nerve to complain
Kickin' it wit ya mayne
And he sympathize
Cause that fool be doin' the same
How do you stay true to you
When you have to change
Grow up and go through thangs
A child can't tame
It's strange
Always fallin' in the same mistakes
Head first, ready to smash ya face
With no brace~ 
A cold case below waste
Wreckage in life
But pressured to accept it
For protectin' ya pride
Let it Go
Days are too short to live in lies
Belief is food for dreams
You can't deny
<~~~~~~~~>

Hook: (Both done twice with minor change)

What you goin' through ain't nothin' new
All you need is time 'cause now you confused
And what you goin' through, this ain't nothin' new
Til you see more of life, won't know what to do

And what you goin' through, know it's normal, duke
The solution's already inside of you
Sometimes goin' through shows the growth in you
But know that you gon' have to do
What you supposed to do


Verse 2:
If you could be shown the way
Would you decide to take 
Ya own path knowin' that
A decision you make
Could breed wrath, lean back
And envision her face
When you relapse, ask
What difference it made
If he don't see nothing wrong
In his history
That could bother him all along
To be deemed as weak
Without control, he's gone
When inside, he longs
For something more, more intense
Than the same ol song
And dance ~ perchance
A good thing is gone
He didn't miss til it split
A good thing is gone
He's remiss to admit
That he could be wrong
For, in so doing,
He just don't seem as strong
Never focused on her needs
Or took the time to talk
In breakin' the bond
He gave her strength to walk
Away from abuse and destructive thought
She'll take all that instruction taught
And be gone!!

Hook and Out:

Hook: 

What you goin' through ain't nothin' new
All you need is time 'cause now you confused
And what you goin' through, this ain't nothin' new
Til you see more of life, won't know what to do

And what you goin' through, know it's normal, duke
The solution's already inside of you
Sometimes goin' through shows the growth in you
But know that you gon' have to do
What you supposed to do
