Description
This is a remix/revision of Holistik's rap song"Will I Be? (feat. Kryptik)"(public domain). It's my first project in quite a while and the sequel to my first collab with Holistik, "Return Of The Prodigal Son." This song is part of my continuing experimentation with hip-hop music, melding rap with my vocal melodies into a harmonious form.
Blitz and Holistik did some awesome rapping on this song. I re-wrote much of the melodies and revamped the musical arrangement. I know this may have limited appeal to Macjammers, but I consider trying new materials and genres as part of my musical adventure and artistic growth.
This song also has a great message. It is about human frailty and our distorted depth of reality...

Lyrics
Mistakes Of Man
(lyrics by Holistik and Blitz)
Ooohhh...
{Leon} [Chorus]
I lay here confused with mistakes of man
Am I the same or will I be saved?
I'd like to improve with the way I am
But I've been wastin' away my days
Tastin' the strength of God felt so right
But I've strayed on the path away
I'll do what it takes if I have to fight
And I'll pray, and I'll pray, and I'll pray...
{Blitz}
Inside lies a secret, I keep it hidden beneath all
The evil that will defeat it from people who don't believe it
They say that even though the evil grows within
I behold the secret and speak it usin' a pen
Deep in the darkest depths of the confusion
A few can realize that reality's an illusion
Know what to do when doom comes to you
Never let the wounds induce the views of illusion,
you're usually runnin' from the truth so you can...
[Chorus] X2
{Holistik}
Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? It's hard to tell
Life is a carousel in a line wit' a death that's parallel
Oh no I fell! Will the Lord help me get back on to my feet?
Will he answer the millions of questions I have?
Will he answer who is me?
'Cause the mutiny between my brothers and I makin' mothers cry
Is enough to drive me to somethin' wild, and it's rough wit' an upset mind
But enough of this hidin'! 'Cause I'm findin' that I'm hidin' from myself
And that ain't easy to do when it's true that I'm tryin' to get help
And I know that I'm stuck in somethin' that subsequently has ups and downs, see?
It drove me to such a juncture I'm up against what'd love to drown me
But I found my family, and I think I'm on solid ground
But I'm livin' in the middle of inevitable odds that'll often knock me down
I'll get off it now, 'cause the negativity is eruptin',
bustin' it up till I'm left with nothin'
Somethin' I never woulda guessed was a factor
that trapped me in habit till it left me crumblin'
A junction, of a juncture, while I gasp 'cause my lung is punctured
But I don't need air to be part of our God so I'll die with the sun that I'm under
{Leon} [Bridge]
So you can hide in the darkness, waiting for targets
It's heartless as the teeth that you rip apart with
In this dark age a heart fades to black
Evade the trap and then you pray and pray
and pray and pray... that you leave your souls intact
[Chorus] X2
