Confusion In Life - Duke ft. James

Confusion In Life

[Verse 1]
Dear Lord you show me the best of times
Show me the worst of times
And I fight for what I want
But I die for what I need

As I'm going on, through this life
I keep myself off the ice
I will hide from all strife
Dare, would I look back twice

Couldnt care what people say
Hell, I keep my head up any day
Travel through, the stormy way
Imma finish my way

[Chorus]
What I mean, what I mean
Confusion runnin my mind.
What I mean, what I mean
I still keep bustin' these rhymes.
What I mean, what I mean
I don't have this free time.
What I mean, is what I mean
Can I still drop you a line?

[Verse 2]
The pool of lies
Innocent lives just hides
Waters of hate
Have you ever learned how to appreciate?

You isn't cool
Playa, yous just a fool
Yup shua, just bomb in that pool
You aren't ever going to rule

Now you have heard my take
Can I please get a break?
A five, a ten
Then we'll start it up again

[Chorus]
What I mean, what I mean
Confusion runnin my mind.
What I mean, what I mean
I still keep bustin' these rhymes.
What I mean, what I mean
I don't have this free time.
What I mean, is what I mean
Can I still drop you a line?

Confusion In Life Reflection

The song that I presented was good. The reason I wrote it is because I wanted to show how I wanted to stay away from drugs throughout my life. I wanted to show people that I actually have a life set out in front of me, instead of doing drugs. I want to live a happy life with children and no drugs or gang life involved.

Confusion In Life Analysis

I wanted to write a story that related to my life and I go through it each day. I thought that my life related to me the best and that it would define my song perfectly. I sang my song about how there is all this confusion on mind however, that I am still able to make it through each day. I wanted to make this song a rap so I tried to think of how it would be in Gang Violence places in Los Angeles. However, I know that's kind of harsh but I tried to relate my life into the Gang Violence place. So in my song it's not so harsh it is more on the lesser side of the story. I also talk about how I don't have all this time to waste because sometimes I don't. Sometimes I feel like I just want to stop time and hide from the stress.

I started of my song singing about how the Lord shows me the best and the worse of the times while I proceed through life. When I smile I basically smile to make it look like that whatever is hitting me hard I try to hide the feelings that I am producing. The feelings that I produce are gained through the actions that either I produce or that others reflect upon me. As though I hate the worse of times the best of times are when the real smile comes out. I also say how I fight for what I want but I die for what I need. This is all true because you wouldn't fight for what you need because you don't know what you until you it comes to you. You would rather fight for what you want than die for what you want.

I started to sing about how I am going to try and keep myself away from drugs such as ice. However, I really am trying to stay away from all drugs because I don't want to mess up my life but get addicted to something dumb that's worthless. I also said how I am trying to hide from all strife. Which basically means that I am trying to stay away from fights, such as vigorous conflicts. I am trying to become friends with people and getting to know them instead of getting into fights with my friends over stupid conflicts. I am saying that I don't want to even look back at it twice because I don't. Once something bad happens I am always trying to be forgiving or asking for forgiveness. However, my friends and I have grown closer together from getting into a strife but I don't want to loose any of my friends from using fists in any kind of situations.
I did sing about how I don't care what people say and how I am going to try am travel through my life my own way. That isn't really how I think but sometimes it is because when I get mad I just don't care. However, when I need help I care what people say and how they help me react to the situation. I also show this through helping people and asking for other people to help me.

In my second verse I start it off saying how there are pools of lies just hanging around waiting for people to get sucked in by Satan's wrong doings. In Los Angeles innocent people die everyday because they get into things and try to stop things from happening but then the accomplice shoots the person that tries to stop then from proceeding with the actions they are trying to perform. However, I said now how innocent people are trying to hide because they don't want to be killed from something dumb. I also talk about the waters of hate that is also produced by Satan's wrong doings. I say has anyone taught how to appreciate. The meaning behind this is has anyone taught you how to appreciate the life that you live because you never know when you last day will be.

In conclusion, this analysis that I just wrote is saying that I am relating my song to my personal life and rapping about how I think my life is and what I am trying to do to fix my life. And just to end it off good the name of my song is called "Confusion In Life".
