Lyrics / Prey
(Hook)
Always the same, your charming ways, words you say.
No, it never changes,
You alwayyyysss get your prey.
(chorus)
- whomever you set your sights on tonight
- you know is yours, they never put up a fight
- so entranced, are they, so quickly, fall prey
- hells spell for you and your demonic way
Watching you is like learning from a master.
Poor little girls intent on playing with disaster.
They know not, what demon stands before them.
Eyes barely focused on this, star studded gem.
(chorus)
You, hustle and you flow.
You, do it best, you know.
These girls don't have a chance.
Willing to do you in an instance.
(chorus)
(solo guitar riff)
Sadly, age will not instill wisdom for bad boy chasers.
Just a never ending pursuit of loveless wasters.

I’ve recently written a few songs myself, and so have looked at other classic songs to see if there is a formula or what makes a great song. I think a great song is the combination of lyrics and the instrumentation(obviously), but the thing is there are so many classic songs that, if dissected lyrically, mean absolutely nothing and have no meaning whatsoever.
That said, it makes it hard to critique a song solely by reading the lyrics. Though your lyrics seem decent enough its hard to say what i think of them without hearing the whole song, its the instrumentation thart brings the soul to the music, allows you to put the emotion into each word. As i’ve said before, some of the blandest, cliched lyrics can still be a classic song, if the emotion and melody are right. Would like to hear what the song sounds like.

I though that this was a good idea for a song. The line “so entranced, are they, so quickly, fall prey” is a little confusing. I pretty much understand what you are trying to say but it seems rearranged and it doesn’t state your point clearly, to me anyway. I think that if you polished this that it could be very catchy. :)

You mainly maintain a solid rhythm through the lyrics, though in the “you, hustle and you flow” stanza, the lines feel short compared to the rest of the lyrics. Also, the last line feels forced in order to rhyme with chance. Try either rewriting that stanza or adding a couple of words to the lines. Maybe something like this:
Watching while you hustle and you flow
Without compare you do it best you know
These other girls don’t even have a chance
You’ve spun me, trapped within your trance

I really enjoyed reading your lyrics for “Prey”. It was well written, it gets the message across and the story your telling. Well done! One note of advice in the area: NOTES FOR REVIEWER The creator of this item has not left any specific reviewer instructions. You might want to leave a message of what type of genre your lyrics fall under. Rock, pop, metal, melody this will help the reviewer determine the lyrics flow easier.
I look forward to reading more of your works.

very good song. “You hustle and you know” is a great stanza. my favorite by far. The end could be like a soft talking as i see it and not so much singing.

I like the theme. It’s one I return to in my writings (from the opposite perspective, but with the same message.)

Great song!
I would be more impressed if the ending was a little longer though; it leaves the reader kinda in limbo.

Great lyrics. I’m not going to get into the mechanics of it, because when you’re singing a song, no one sees if you’ve capitalized the appropriate letters or not.
It really speaks to me- it seems like it’s being sung from a girl who, like others before her, fell prey to him, and that makes the song easy to relate to.

I really like the message of these lyrics, and the feelings of the narrator/singer/song writer. Though personally I’d like it to be a bit more, oh, personal?
Some of the punctuation throws me off, however that can be dismissed to keep with the musical rhythm you might have had in mind when writing this.
Nothing else bothers me. I can see this on the charts one day, given the right music to accompany it.
