I'll listen to it. Not sure what site, maybe just use the OS voice recorder and YouTube to upload. Post the lyrics.

WARNING LOUD LOW QUALITY AUDIO
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0bt3MtYuFvk
I grab my pistol and i shoot into the sky Tryna hit God so he can bleed me down some reasons why i never go nowhere no matter how hard i try i swear to me, i'ts gonna be the reason that i die Tearing my brain trying to explain this circus we call life Predisposition for the fixin', crimson sacrifice These medications bring sensations which leave me content to step in line with a society that i resent
We are the Youth, we are the truth, we are uncharted land We are the blank canvas they wish to paint with their demands we are the changing tide that's rolled in with the changing times we are a threat because we've yet to leave our dreams behind we may be beaten and mistreaten for the way we live we keep on fighting 'cause our fights all we've got left to give
I grab my needle and i shoot into my arm The Doctors tell me that im doing myself lots of harm i disagree because you see, the feeling feels so warm what leaves me cold is doing as im told since i was born into this world where i cant help but to feel out of place try to escape but when i run just fall flat on my face So now i stay where i can lay down on the ground to waste and let the pleasures which i treasure drown out my distaste for all the standards which are hammered into our young minds "land of the free", still feels to me like my souls doing time
We are the Youth, we are the truth, we are uncharted land We are the blank canvas they wish to paint with their demands we are the changing tide that's rolled in with the changing times we are a threat because we've yet to leave our dreams behind we may be beaten and mistreaten for the way we live we keep on fighting 'cause our fight all we've got left to give

Honestly, this is trash. The lyrics are gay as fuck, corny, hokey, teen angsty bullshit. The singing is terrible and the cadence and melody are just the exact same pattern repeated every 2 bars or so for the whole time. Don't try to do music.

I appreciate that. I know my voice is bad and i have heard that the melody is half assed and not varied enough. I can see that. I thought the lyrics were ok, but i respect your opinion.

I think the lyrics are good, bud. I mean that. Well written. Keep working on the vocals. Play around with it. It'll only get better with repetition. And remember that singing A cappella can be unforgiving and will only sound better once it's accompanied with some music.
I think you've laid some nice groundwork. Just keep at it and trying to perfect it. It can take some time and improvement can come in small increments but like anything else, you'll get better the more you work at it.

Lyrics are okay. Yeah, a bit angsty for my tastes, but it has a bit of a flow to it. You could likely write on better themes and they would be pretty good. The recorded file was pretty awful, not just the sound quality, but the performance. Something to work on I suppose. Try using some headphones with a metronome or a drum beat in the background and then record.

He's one of my oldest fans .
Anyways, i want honesty more than anything and i'm no stranger to criticism.
I appreciate your encouragement more than you can imagine and i plan on continuing to pursue my writing be it song, short stories or poetry.

Appreciate the feedback, yea my set up is God awful.
The song is pretty angsty but is supposed to be sung in jest. Anyone that has knows me knows that i'm perfectly content being miserable and don't take myself too seriously.
again, thank you
