I Can Do Better

I am extremly tired today because i didn`t go to bed till 4am.I am working on a demo and did not finish one of my tracks till late.I sometimes worry if i am a good singer or not.I have been in this game since i was in elementary school,i knew back then i wanted to sing for a living.I really got into music around junior high and was molded and guided in that direction as a career.
I just want the music to be good,i want folks to relate and connect with it.I know i am a tough critic when it comes to myself but i always feel i can do better.I know i get on my producers nerves beacause i always ask to do the note or verse over till i feel it`s good.

Well the track i finished this moring is a jazzy joint,in the cut ,the pocket... well what i am trying to say is it`s really mellow,dark,soothing and seductive.Now that`s just what the track and the way i sing my vocals suggest,the words say something totally different.Everytime i step to mic i pray i am doing the music and lyrics justice.I love music so much and i think about some of the artist out there and wonder what happend to the real music.I think about songs that spoke about love and not sex,human struggle and not how hard can i shake me ass.What about the songs that made me think about my community and not how many ways can i drive flash and floss my new whip in the projects i still live in.I really hope i can reach someone.

My comments are not a knock at certain entertainers,but i try to be conscience of what i put out into the universe.The things i put out there are a reflection of who i am so i need my ish to be on point.I will do my best to not be so hard on myself,but continue to remind myself i can do better.
