Moments Start Us

Just tonight, I was working on a song collaboration with a friend. I rap and sing, and she sings. Taking one of her previously written songs, I remixed it and added my own sick little twist to it. It turned out incredibly dope, check it out:

Moments Start Us (G-Nacious Remix)

(Verse 1: Ms. Morrill)
There are moments in your life
That make you you
And sets the course
Of who you're going to be
Sometimes they're little
Oh ho, little subtle moments
Sometimes they're big
Yeah yeah, everest moments
That you, yeah, you never saw
You never saw coming

(Chorus: Garrett "G-Nacious" Keith)
You see the reflection of yourself in the mirrors in your mind
They can't show the worst of others,
They just show the best of you... and it's kind
And even in the acrimony, they reflect your smile
Watch all your memories, and burnish the bad ones
And if you need to cry, let the river flow for a while...
That just makes you who you are
And from all the moments you have made it this far...

(Verse 2: Garrett "G-Nacious" Keith)
Yeah, and we started from the bottom now we're here
Man, these moments lasted us all these years
Now we're preaching to the congregation
Put the hate inside the conflagration
Let it burn, let it burn and this is our turn
Why I'm this way is not of concern
We're made from the moments that we cannot spurn
And all those bridges that we cannot burn
Yeah, we can get wasted
Red eyes red face, nigga we faded
But we can never hide the moments of our lives
I know you upset, I can see it in your eyes
Remember from the moments that the fire still thrives
The moments make us who we are, and we are still alive
Nigga you are beautiful, haters don't know what to do
We all come from different places, we all wear a different shoe
No one is perfect but that's something you already knew
Moments set our path of life, try not to misconstrue
You will find, when you look back upon your life
The moments you truly lived were the moments you were doin right
But the moments you were fucking up, gave you the right stride
You lose some, you win some, celebrate nigga, party all night
And when the nights over, don't be afraid to say a goodbye
It's alright

Bridge (Garrett "G-Nacious" Keith)
The most glorius days in your life
Are the not so-called days of success
But rather those days when, you're breakin'
When out of dejection and despair
You feel the rise in you, a challenge to life
And a promise of a future
And the moments that nurture

(Verse 3: Ms. Morrill)
No one asks for their life to change
But it does, oh ho, it does
It's what you do afterwards
Afterwards, that counts
Oh ho, oh ho
That's when you find out
When you find out...
Who... You... Are...
And there are moments in your life
That make you you
And sets the course
Of who you're going to be
Sometimes they're little
Oh ho, little subtle moments
Sometimes they're big
Yeah yeah, everest moments
That you, yeah, you never saw
You never saw coming
That's when you find out
When you find out...
Who... You... Are...

(Chorus: Garrett "G-Nacious" Keith)
You see the reflection of yourself in the mirrors in your mind
They can't show the worst of others,
They just show the best of you... and it's kind
And even in the acrimony, they reflect your smile
Watch all your memories, and burnish the bad ones
And if you need to cry, let the river flow for a while...
That just makes you who you are
And from all the moments you have made it this far...

(Outro)
And now you know who you are
Oh ho, oh no, now you know who you are
And I know who I am, I'll do me
You do you, always keep it true
You know who you are, you are you...
