Paranoia (Ford and Bill rap/ Gravity Falls animation)

Published 2016-05-25
I was inspired by Knitting Giant Beanies to write my own rap (which I improvised and then wrote down and improved upon) and then chose to put it to a backing track.

I originally made my own backing track but it didn't quite fit well with my song so I just decided to use somebody's remix and credit them for it, coming across the one that KGB used. I wasn't going to use it at first so they wouldn't be too similar but it was the only one that went well with my lyrics so I used it in the end.

I consider this to be a sequel to "Insanity" by KGB, depicting the past and current relationship between Bill and Ford, with a music video which took me 3 days to animate.

The backing track was made by this amazing guy:
   • Gravity Falls (Digital Foxx & Dj Mugl...  

Lyrics, vocals, video and album art are all done by me.

Lyrics:

I have an unbelievable story that I'm here to tell
Of how I went from the top of the world to ultimate hell
All the fun and the games turned into lies and deceit
And I was up against an entity that couldn't be beat
I've been to hell and back and all of that was just fine
But then he messed with my family and that's where I draw the line

I'm goin' insane
There's too many voices in my brain
Always overlapping and throwing me off of my game
It started as a dream, but now I'm mentally ill
It's all being taken over and I'm losing my free will
So many are eyes watching me, now I'm feeling paranoid
One failed experiment left me trapped beneath a void
On the verge of reality and I'm on the verge of insanity
If only somebody could've saved me from my own vanity

Now I'm lost and the entire universe is at cost
Like a video game against a 3-sided boss
30 years and each day is getting worse than the last
Because my dreams are being haunted by a ghost from the past

(For the kill)

Hiya Sixer, relax, why don't you take a seat
So you can get a front row view of your epic defeat
I'm come too far to be stopped, I'm heading straight to the top
Your attempts to stop me will just be another flop
Take a chill pill and listen to your old pal Bill
If you choose my side you'll be in for a thrill
All the secrets of the universe could belong to you
And there's only one thing that I need you to do
The possibilities are endless it would be unreal
The world and more could be yours if you take this deal
Unlimited power could be yours
On this fine doomsday
All you have to do it shake my hand, whaddaya say?

    I arrived here from the official devil's train video :') Honestly once I realized there was animation (Which took me about 10 seconds tbh) as well I was like "wOAH, ANIMATION, VOCALS AND GOOD LYRICS" I'm happy I was curious enough to trip on your channel :')
  • How can you be sad and disappointed about this? This is great, man. (genti57)
  • the rap was awesome and the animation was 10 outta 10 so good man keep it up

    This is a brilliant rap, in all honesty. I personally don't like rap music, but I must give credit where it's due. The animation was good, with the characters definitely resembling the real characters, but, of course, improvements could always be made. The voices were interesting, to say the least. I feel as though the Bill voice would have been better with maybe a voice distortion technique, possibly, and Fords voice could have been little higher pitched, but it was definitely good for someone who isn't really famous or anything. Despite these improvements needing to be made, I can definitely tell you've put a lot of work into this, since it is obvious, and I congratulate you for doing so well despite not being big or having any special equipment (from what I'm assuming). Well done.

    i think the lyrics are great. the thing is you need someone to notice this and help you out. maybe with the voices and animation. if that were to happen i know this would be giant.
  • Wow, this has started getting views. I might just leave it up now, I just want to feel appreciated.
  • @zlg8993
    I came from time and space and. DONT DELETE IT
  • Hearing this again I can see there's room for improvement and I would improve this by rerecording the vocals and making them clearer and more balanced but judging by the rate it's getting views at, is there really any point? Nobody gives a crap about this to begin with.
  • Considering deleting this video. Apparently you have to be KGB to get noticed.
