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.."
