lyrics

VERSE 1

Now its time shake things up
Moving your body earthquakes erupt
Coming unstuck were all in need something
My props im definitely gunning for Velour smooth stunning form applause
Do the right thing like spike lee I ching style
A man on the street time spinning like mechanical heat

INTERLUDE
One day you’ll wake up and there wont be any time to do the things You’ve always wanted
Do them now Paulo Coelho the Zahir

VERSE 2

Down the rabbit hole it goes I’m told
The zone I know explodes the soul
To show unfold the brightest gold
Write my initials in the flow
Carnivorous I’m told magnificent and cold It was written in a poem they don’t know
The feeling it’s so old remembered that I came along time ago
The mind will throw you back to a time
When they cried for souls or died alone
With no one to show though
And we don’t give a fuck on a solo
Hoping on a truck like its yolo
Too late to double back like polo
This whole load I got on my chest
As one of best to flex like Elliot Ness
My brilliantness to bring down all of the best
It’s chess the steps to show the whole game what’s next I’m the Untouchable the unfuckwithable
They fail to express and sound pitiful
Not baring your heart should get rid of you
This art is the pinnacle I start they finish I hit critical
The elephant sticking with you barely visible
Stomping round the place earthquakes
The ground split in two

INTERLUDE 2

The art of the city is the heart of the city x 2

VERSE 3

The old worlds looking back while the new ones going off track In the present moment I will never hold that
Won’t slack for my peeps flip another soul track for the streets
Used to tap dance with my feet in the kitchen for my marjays she could see
There was something buried so deep
Got a little scarier in my teens
Feeling hysteria in my genes
The beast that lurked all around like a blood hound with the sharp teeth wanting fresh meat
Thug moving like a young priest it was deep never ever comfy
Self hatred like a vaccine as they pack heat when they blaspheme Trying to stack p’s many smashed dreams
That’s why brothers catch sleep trying hard to never act weak Casualties, so it challenged me held hope like a fantasy, till it turned reality
