I'm giving this a try. I've got a friend who will rap over it for me, since I can't and I'm white.
Sweet Georgia Rain
Make sure your bass is up.
The lyrics, I want to portray events from my childhood in the growing up in the south, which I did.
The rapping will be semi-fast, kind of in a Ludacris style almost.
----------
"We gon' tell you a story, way back in the day. All bout the times we used to go and pray. This where we grew up, this where we gonna stay. Thunder rollin' in when the skies turn grey.
(chorus)
Runnin' barefoot through that Mississippi rain, Lookin' for that blind man tappin' his cane."
----------
That's all I have so far.
It sounds cliche, I know.
The song music itself is just a basic idea I am laying out right now, so don't expect it to sound good yet.

It is a joke, but a fun joke at that.

Music isn't too bad, the drums need more presence and the violins less, but it's quite good. I'd also suggest slow, booming 808 kicks and that you put a lot of jumps and "stuck notes" in the violins. Perhaps have the same melody play on a cello and a kick drum solo as an intro, then a gunshot sound effect and the drums come in properly with the Ludacris style machine gun style snare and screeching violins.
When you add the vocals, the cello and kick drum bit could be used on the chorus and the rest as it stands could be used for the verse backing.
Good luck.

PS I know it has a slow booming kick in places, but ideally, make it even slower/with an even lower pitched element, even if you layer it with the existing kick to retain a little bit of punch.

i've taken the liberty of expanding your rap. check it out:
Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the Southland I miss Alabamy once again And I think its a sin, yes
Well I heard mister Young sing about her Well, I heard ole Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A Southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
In Birmingham they love the governor Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they've been known to pick a song or two Lord they get me off so much They pick me up when I'm feeling blue Now how about you?
Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
Sweet home Alabama Oh sweet home baby Where the skies are so blue And the governor's true Sweet Home Alabama Lordy Lord, I'm coming home to you Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

Begin the day With a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive Plays that song that’s so elusive And the magic hip hop makes your morning wood
Off on your way Hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the hip hop ever lingers Undemanding contact In your happy solitude
Invisible airwaves Crackle with life Bright antennae bristle With the energy Emotional feedback On timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price --- Almost free...
All this machinery Making modern hip hop Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted It’s really just a question Of your honesty
One likes to believe In the freedom of hip hop But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity
For the words of the profits Are written on the studio wall, hip hop hall --- Echoes with the sounds... Of salesmen.

Too much compression on the kick! You need some midrange on that violin sound. Other than that, I love the hihats and clap.

I agree. Something is terribly wrong with the overall compression. When theres no kick, the violins sound really loud. Instead, try putting a compressor on (very subtle) and then a limiter on top of that.
