I am a producer for artists aswell as film and tv. In my experience, learning in music is no different that being a student under a spiritual master. You come in believing that you are done, and that you are already enlightend, until you get your ego tamed by the master and are humbled. 

To have a seasoned producer who understands songstructure, harmonies and what works in a song can bring out the best of you and speed up your process drasticly. You can go by your self as well, but why reinvent the wheel?

I have listend to a few of the songs and they are all sincere and come from a true place. But the flaws in delivery and harmony make it sound amatuerish. This will ultimately make the listener loose interest. 

I agree with Nahm and think that its solid advice. I also agree with Markussweden that everyone is unique.

But i say all of this because i can hear that you have an important message that you need to get out, and that is the most beautiful mission right there. Take this serously and do what ever you need to do to perfect it. 

Oh, also, my first 5 years in music, i was that person who rejected help and thought that i already was there. 

But hey, its just like the path to awakening. A shift in perspective,

@furashido Yeah, sometimes I dont like my delivery\flow, it doesnt sound professional, but I dont know how to make it seem like it. Its just trial and error, right now.

And i really dont have a producer that does that for me, I dont really care much, give me a beat and Im ready to go. I dont like to overanalyze and shit.

Well, yeah, there is a time for everything, and right now is time to just discover and find your way. 

Delivery and flow is something personal and you can find ways to make it work.

But then there is the mixdown aspect, compression, limiting, eq and reverb etc to glue everything together and make it sound cohesive. 

1 what key is the track in? find the root note and keep everything in key. 

2 work on delivery

3 use a good song structure / arrangement to keep the listening plesant and interesting. 

4 mixing

here is a arrangement tip. 

intro 4 bars-

courus 8 bars. 

verse16 bars-

courus16bars 

bridge8 bars- 

verse 8 bars

courus16 bars-

outro 4 or 8 bars. 

 

But nowdays some artists go

intro

verse

courus 

outro

Basicly, just find ways to make it a fun listening experience. 

What Daw do you work on?

@furashido I work with Reaper. I mix and master everything myself. I write and record also myself. I also know how to make beats but I usually other producer's.

I use, usually no intro

Verse - 16 bars

Hook

Verse

Thats it.

Sometimes I dont even use a hook, just 3 verses

@Ether Cool. I look forward to following your process :)

@Quanty :) 

I think he/she ment that u dont use any courus. 

Its all about building a interesting experience for the listener. Like a gift wrapped up in a beautiful package. Its kind of a big part of the experience. Reel them in because its enjoyable first and let the message sink in later.

Lyrics:

This is for those who never had shit

Dont plan on ever having shit

 

No, not from the ghetto

The mental ghetto

The one you ripping your cabello

The one you too anxious to even get a grip for blow

The one where there is always snow

And if you like snow, it is always sunny

And if you feeling bummy, there is an earthquake

Where things always get worse

Day by day, your stress gets more intense

Day by day, your hair more grey and grey

 

Day by day, you wish you could blow your fucking face

But you worry if you leave this earth

A deep wound would penetrate your family's heart

From the sky you would watch them fall apart

But you want to say fuck it

This is the cards I have been dealt with

I cant talk out of my problems, im not a wordsmith

I would give you some inspiration but developing the situation

You cut your veins

What remains is some scarred ass veins

You love to self hurt

Because you think thats what you deserve

Years of abuse make you think this way

That somehow what they say

Is true and undeniable

That you should keep quiet and humble

When they take all the credit

Nah, forget that, flip that fucking brain, act fucking sane

Develop a mindset that nobody can fuck with you, maine!

 

In this earth, you must mantain

A sane body and maind (mind)

If you dont, you gonna be mentally unstable

Even the simplest things, you wont be able

to do, while you compare yourself to everyone

"He can do that, why cant I?

Oh why, oh why?

I never feel happy, I never feel high

When everybody is out there having fun, Im stuck at home being a nun

This life is no fun"

And the complaining keeps on going

The unconsciousness keeps on growing

Your puking hate keeps on throwing

Your self-hate keeps on showing

You keep thinking

"Why is this my liiiiife

Why is this my liiiiife

Im trapped inside this bodyyyy

Im trapped inside this miiiind

Oh whyyyy

 

Put yourself back on the map, get up

Life is more than hookers and a fast nut

 

Now, you pay for hookers because real girls aint paying attention

Plus, another things I dont mention

But mainly masturbation

You spend whole wanking it

ANd you start feeling desesperate, aint it?

But if you legit, dont give a shit

You cant feel the crave

Be brave, embrace the horny agitation

Calm your mind, calm your imagination

Focus on something else, focus on the smells

Focus on the aromas

 

De-attachment makes model girls want us

Why? Probably daddy issues

Some like being treated like trash, not gonna lie

But yet, thats not what im gonna suply

Honestly, I think I know the reason, B

We look in each other for things we dont have

So, a girl looks for confidence in a man

Looking for her own superman

Because she doesnt have that

She feels insecure, she doesnt have that

If you dont have money in childhood

You will probably be chasing it in adulthood

If your life was full of suffering

Then you gonna wish you were happy

 

THats what happened to me

Most of my teenagers years were filled with depression

There were things I didnt question

I felt that way since eleven

Or even younger

Other memory, another

I have is being depressed playing gta

Damn, that was when I was 9

I was already not okay

But depression I sent in remission

Depression I transcended

Now Im level head and good headed

Nobody can fuck with moi

Ima get this diploma

Prolly get my grandma proud

And live in the clouds

Im out

Lyrics:

I grew up, thought I was a screw up
I used to mess up, self hate, yup
To school I was never late
But I wished I could blow my fucking face
So ashamed, all pain, what remained
Was hurt, the quantity - absurd
I remember asking for God to ease it
He never did, maybe thats why I stop believing
I never asked who I was
I never asked the meaning
of life, in those thoughts, I was alright
But my depression
Made me inhibit my expression
I was scared to talk
Who would have thought I would fought?

I wanted to fly, I wanted to flyyy
I wanted to fly, I wanted to flyyy
Thought I would when I dieee
Thought I would when I dieee

I remember having a crush
Not a lot of details will be given
She would be on the same support class group, thats a given
I liked her, so I had to make a decision
I got her number
But damn, when I talked with her
Nervous as fuck and all
I discovered something about her
She already had one, boyfriend
Damn, I dont remember how I felt
But my emotions, I must have not dealt
well, because I still think from time to time
I moved on but I still think about it time to time
Just something to make rhyme
Welcome to my lifetime
