Have you ever ventured off beat?
Off Beat
By S.F. Reborn
I hear the band playing
I sing off key
This is an off day and
I'm off me
The train is on time
Yet I'm off track
I'm fed the lead line
But I have no slack
I try to play cool
Protect my rep
I feel like a fool
Cause I'm off step
I need to take a break
Cause I lost sleep
I'll see you when I wake
Hope I'm not off beat

This is vintage Semper. Strong message and beat, no awkward words. Play another one when you wake up!

Brilliant....I can certainly feel the rhythm and the beat on this one. I am sure we all have days when we feel we are "off beat"....I know I certainly do. I would only add that as far as I am concerned, I hope I would never "sing off key" in a *literal* sense (with 20 years of experience and the wonderful musical gifts I have been given, I think that by now I can always carry a tune in the correct key).....although I am sure I do from time to time in a metaphorical sense....and I know we are talking metaphorically here.
Nice work.

This truly has a pleasing beat - keeps one involved and the feet start tapping. Could visualize a marching military drill team. This would certainly add class to any rap arrangement. I'll be "tapping" to this all day - thanks and well done.
Read a first class rap
Was hard to beat
With a statifying rhythm
For dancing feet â¥

You got a knack for the yak
You got Sempa Fi
You got mine anyway
and me to a T
When the sun comes up
and the beat goes down
I'm wishing for the day
when I'm not the ***king clown
Another day goes
and my head hits the bed
Another day comes
And it goes like I said.

Played in a marching band that did military style marching--kind of know what you mean.
Yes I have always marched "to the tune of a different drummer" but that is a good thing, Right?!
This one is a keeper as always. I do hear the music in the background and the 'offbeat' sounds great!
nice write------
Ma, thinking of you and mentioning you in my prayers-kk!

For three days, I've been off beat, too..
but unlike you, I haven't a clue what to do!
Ahrhythmia
Eerily quiet
darkness engulfs
stilled heart
waits...
waits for
shallow pulse
listens...
listens for
belated beat's
promised
return.

This beat is good
and makes a lot
of sense,
what doesn't
is, as one ages
it happens
more often.
