Need Help Proofreading a Song

I had to write a song for Spanish homework. I know that it is cheesy, but I would appreciate comments/corrections anyway.

Thanks!

Soy joven y tímido pero
Me gusta tocar la guitarra
Y quiero tocar en frente de
Milliones de gente.
Milliones de gente
Estan gritando
Mi nombre a gritos

Toco la guitarra pero
No canto, no canto
No puedo cantar
Mi voz es como
Uñas en la pizarra
Y nadie quiere
Eschuchar ese

Hay mucho dinero
Y glamour en la música rock
Quiero la vida
Queiro la vida
Del músico
Queiro estar en el escenario
Con las lasars y el humo

Soy joven y mi vida
Es una hoja de papel en blanco
Mi historia escribir es mío
Tengo el bolígrafo
Tengo el bolígrafo
Escribir mi futuro
Con mi música

No podemos predecir el futuro
Uno nunca sabe
Pero podemos trabajar
Para sueños nuestros
Soy soñador
Soy soñador
Y es el único sueño que tengo

La gente dice
No se puede subir
Siempre hago lo contrario
De lo que le dicen
Los opinions no importa a mi
No importa a mi
Soy trabajador

Me gusta tocar la guitarra
Toda el día y la noche

que estan diciendo
mi nombre a gritos (you say "gritar" and then "a gritos", sounds odd)


Toco la guitarra pero
no canto, no canto
no puedo cantar
mi voz es como
uñas rascando la pizarra
Y nadie quiere
eschuchar eso

Las opiniones no me importan

Soy trabajador (better soy constante)

Todo el día y la noche

Pero ... pero ... no puedo cantar. I could play it for you on my guitar though. I am trying to talk one of my classmates into signing it.

Thanks again!

¿No sería "frente a millones de personas" ? gente ya es plural, nunca escuche reiterar el plural. Es como decir "millions of peoples". Yo ahí diría "muchisima gente; mucha gente"
