John Hardly:
Since after all this is a music forum, may I make the following comments regarding your song:
First off, IMHO, the song's first two lines would have more street credibility if it went like this:
"Hey girl, I betcha
There's someone out to get yah"
And John Hardly, the word 'rappin' has been so co-opted by hip hoppers so much that when people hear it they unlikely to think about a man droppin some lines in an effort to try to get next to a woman..
And "sock it to you" been retired from hip talk so long ago that several generations have grown up not knowing it...
You're dating yourself with those phrases, man.
[though I get that you were trying to build off the name Rapaire...]
Besides from that, your song's got definite potential.
So you got a record label interested?
Go for it! Remember what they say-"No guts/no glory.."
