lyrics

We still have wars ‘cause we still have guns,
People are poor ‘cause they don’t know love
Yeah they’ve got more peas
But they’re solo chumps
And they’re,
Not free with their eyes shut tight.
How dare you say that you don’t love life!
Would you care to explain why you don’t love life?
Fair point…
The world’s gone mad
I mean humans are mad
But the world’s not bad.
And school is a joke,
They turn us from humans to usual blokes.
They’re often consuming our hope -
Exams always looming,
I’m losing my flow.
Getting used to the stress
I’ve reduced it with smoke
And I have to confess
I’ve learnt more being broke
Than in all of the lessons
You’ve forced down my throat,
I was wiling to learn you didn’t teach me to grow!
SO now I’m just teaching myself,
We need to decrease our material wealth
We speak and it’s like we’re not hearing ourselves….
When you say that you need that phone,
Say that you need that game,
Be grateful you sleep at home
The streets are painful place,
You say that we’ve got no hope but -
We can attain that stage

Eyes don’t lie they show our souls
Getting high there’s no control.
And I’ve chosen space over relationships
To save the world today.

Words can be cheap,
Love isn’t spoken it’s worthless in speech.
I’m still learning to be,
But I think of the kids
Now they’re learning fro me
So keep that in mind when I write these words.
Don’t know by who I might be heard,
They might not know that the light still works
But the light shines brighter in the darkness.
We’ve still got time and we’ve still got laughter,
Why live life like we’ve got no answers?
This is our chance to arrange this space,
Giving up now would negate that fate -
And why is none the focus?
Think of the homeless
Winters in London are really atrocious.
I said I’m taking 3 steps back,
I hold my whole crew on top of my back -
I though they told you this was my track…
Well it’s big than that:
I will change this world,
And I will change it’s face,
Change won’t hurt if we change each day,
A flame won’t bur if you make it rain
But the rain clouds loom on the strings days.
This world is so strange
If we don’t act now
Then the world won’t change.

Eyes don’t lie they show our souls
Getting high there’s no control.
And I’ve chosen space over relationships
To save the world today.

Verse 3 is a whole new topic,
Hard to swallow like milk-less porridge
I don’t think schools give us knowledge
History’s fake so we’ve all learnt nothing.
Blood lies under the streets we walk
When a kingdom launches a needless war.
If only you could all see more,
I hear more lies but I think more thought
And I think so much that my brain got sore.
Now I’m stuck in a maze,
Searching for love is just crazy
First I should start with the basics,
Being alive is amazing
Gifted the power the made,
But I work hard, I discredit myself
But I’ve come so far.
Cardy B’s really got no bars
But she beat Mac Miller
And she tops those charts.
Music’s corrupted,
Clearly infused with consumption
Now I’m recluse at a junction:
I don’t make music for money
But I’ve got to live off of something.
The world was so vast
But then we made trains,
Then we built cars
Grew wings called planes.
So I’m gonna walk around Earth
I’ll learn news things and I’ll find new words -
And I’ll find my worth…

about

natestapes London, UK

My dreams and ambitions have led me here, aged 20, I'm now looking to jump start my music career.
Rap is more than a craft or a job to me. It brings my emotions to life and I feel myself live through it. I hope I can convey this in my songs.
I'm always looking for ways to improve, increasing the possible outcomes of my work tenfold.
My feet are, and always will be firmly planted on the ground.
