lyrics

An,
Ocean of feelings is open but so depleted I’m,
Over heating I don’t get along with sleeping.
Dreams are only frequent in daylights benevolence,
Night times, I never rest
I find, a pen and I write rhymes -
There’s never a right time,
I live in the tree tops
But that’s just a life style.
My feelings are unprobable, unstoppable
Really that’s just an obstacle
I’ve hurdled them before,
And so I know it’s not impossible.
My optimistic tendencies, eventually
Deplete my holy energy.
I try and please everybody
But I should do what’s best for me,
I could be anybody
I’ll find myself potentially,
I progress exponentially.
I’m hiding from my path
Just like that ranger from the North,
This life is tearing me apart
I should embrace a little more,
And I’ve been falling to the ground
Still haven’t made it to the floor,
I’m the opposite of grounded
In 2 different kind of forms.

Everybody better watch this space
Like it’s toxic waste or obnoxious faces.
And this is kind of hard to say,
But maybe I’m too far away.
Everybody better watch this space
Like it’s toxic waste or obnoxious faces.
And this is kind of hard to say,
But maybe I’m too far away.

This life’s been shaping me and breaking me
Forming some sort of vacancy inside my soul,
Observing all my pain through a kaleidoscope.
I hold on to the past
And it’s effect is like a lightening bolt -
It strikes me in the heart
And lately I’ve been getting high to cope.
And that’s an error
Could really be doing better yo,
Been feeling better
Some things are just worth forgetting though…
And I don’t care if I end up alone -
I take 2 paddles, now I’m going where this river goes.
I start to fight against the tide
and it’s so tiring,
I start rapping
Now they’re calling in the firemen.
I’m calling on a force that only lies within
A lighter is the key to deep enlightenment.
The truth has been hidden in scripted hieroglyphs -
Speak, we were gifted dialect
piece, together failures
And don’t forget to try again.
If we can’t rely on ourselves,
Then who can we rely on?
The world is like a jungle
We must save it from the lions.

Everybody better watch this space
Like it’s toxic waste or obnoxious faces.
And this is kind of hard to say,
But maybe I’m too far away.
Everybody better watch this space
Like it’s toxic waste or obnoxious faces.
And this is kind of hard to say,
But maybe I’m too far away.

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.
