My 2010 Michigan Anthem(In lyric form)
Long time reader, not very active, you guys keep me goin Sunday through Friday. I was an aspiring rapper in Saginaw, before moving to Ohio for work. I wrote a 2010 Michigan Anthem Monday and Tuesday, unfortunatley i have no way of recording it, and I know its kind of meh without music to catch the flow, but i figured i could get some feedback either way.
It's overplayed, Michigan's in dismay, listen to them laugh as they kick us where we lay,
Im not depicting us as victims, Im just sayin, watch the haters fade as The Victors gets to playin,
cuz that spread is sick, Shoelace just stuttered quick, stiff armed, you just whiffed, hit the turbo, then its 6,
or read option, hand it to Vincent Smith, he vanishes then thats it, the bands already hit it,
thats if youre lucky, cuz trust me it might get ugly, if Mike Shaw gets to duckin and weavin behind those uglies,
or Mike Cox lowers the boom and gets to trucking, or Fitzgerald hits the hole, then its over, no discussion,
or spread it out, hit Roundtree with the post pattern, or Tae Odoms with that bubble screen it wont matter,
DC Stonum with the thunder punch, see ya later, TRob'll hit ya ass with the dreamshaker,
cant forget about the odd couple, the oldest lookin tight ends in the Big Ten, K. Kog and Martell Webb,
Molk, Schilling, Patrick O, Perry Dorrestein, 60 minutes with these war pigs, youll need some morphine,
switch sides to defenders of the Big House, Offense wins games but the D will knock your ass out,
at the line RVB will frickin choke slam ya, and Lou Ferrigno goes to bed in Mike Martin 'jamas,
Greg Banks comin, goin backwards might be wiser, but then you see the double 8's in your helmet visor,
Mouton ball hawkin, check the replay, listen to the crowd chantin Obi-Ezeh,
T-Woolf in a cast, now they say you should, burn us but you find yourself in Mr. Rogers neighborhood,
JT Floyd's got the other side so i wouldnt visit, Prison Abs, Carvin and Cam Gordon hit stickin,
we are back, the winningest program with the rich tradition, revenge in 2010 is our only mission,
you hear the rumblings, i know youve hear things, what kind of team you think we got if Forcier's our third string,
come and see, witness history, Those Who Stay Will Be Champions echo's through the seats,
to the banner, you think you can stop us, please, i got 113,000 friends that disagree.

Not to be a dick but I just read this with "T'was the Night Before Christmas" in the back of my head.

I wrote this and play it over a bluegrass melody. Doesn't exactly sound like the victors just more like bluegrass. Not trying to bastardize the victors or anything, stll love the victors the most.
Show’dem buck how Uncle Pen play the fiddle! (Hail)
Denard right, left, complete left right middle! (Hail)
Tay-O show that dread locks can
Done describe a Michigan man!
Show’dem buck how Uncle Pen play da fiddle! (Hail)
Denard run left wait right wait middle (Hail)
Hail Shoelace fly, a ring in the canyon,
Michigan’s flags are proudly flyin’!
Show’dem buck how uncle pen play da fiddle (Hail)
Slots dart around, they all crazy fast little (Hail)
Thread’em high Hail Lace’em low
Hail Beat that drum till its time to go!. GO BLUE! (repeat)

Then I said screw it and just got married... now my hopes and dreams are whatever will give me five minutes to myself to just think.
September 10th, 2010 at 9:50 PM ^
...Amen to that!

I have to get me some of those Mike Martin pajamas. Reads nice, would be good to hear it to a beat.

This is MGoBlog set to rhyme.

It would be pretty sweet if you found some way to record it and then used it to make a hype video.
September 10th, 2010 at 10:33 PM ^
Im way to white to even read this.
September 10th, 2010 at 10:35 PM ^
Nice Rhyme. I'd like to see your story unfold tomorrow.

I can sort of pick up the cadence but that might just be my particular style. A beat would go a long way.
Do you have any tracks in mind you would flow these over? You must've had something you were stylin' to when you wrote these. For example, I just read these over the instrumental track for Shook Ones pt 2 and it was pretty slick. The track for Heart of the City fits well, too.

i actually have probably close to 500 amateur beats on CD's, and i the flow was to one of the beats i had. I tried finding a Michigan themed or even a football themed beat, but couldnt find one. I had ACID Pro when i lived in Saginaw, but i cant afford that shit now, otherwise it would have been recorded already.
