lyrics

I've seen a river in the blink of an eye,
I know I should be doing one thing at a time.
It's a long way if I sink from the sky
So I think I might fly.
Spread those wings 'till I glide,
One got clipped but I'm fine,
One more sip from the fountain of youth
'Cause I need to rejuvenate
Hanging on to all the things that I used to say.
I guess I'm hard to hack
If you're not used to me, I chose to speak,
I can sense if you're
Not telling the whole truth to me.
That's why I stick to a small crew
People I can trust in a small room,
But we've got big dreams
I was off balance 'till it hit me
Running off talent 'till it split me,
Not I work hard I'm addicted
Now I work past the confliction.
The truth is I'm hard to commit with
People like Nate where you at are you missing?
I never stay in touch with my old bros
Rarely go back to visit my old homes,
I guess we all split down our own roads.
Life goes from square shaped to pear shaped
Not always fair play
This is the fiftieth stair case,
Progress is slow but it's there mate
Know that you've grown quite a fair bit.
Our past is unknown,
Our future is open
Each moment's a gift
And we need to expose it,
It needs some exposure,
We need to evolve
And we need to grow closer -
It's easy to solve if we teach about culture.
We're just kids getting heads filled with lies,
They say we all die
We were never alive,
We live in the peakest of times
Freedoms the bleakest of lies,
You will not see with those eyes,
See where you close them it's peacefully bright
Here's a piece of my pie,
We're in this together
Start living your life,
These are critical times
I've been giving up mine for a limited high.
This is a physical climb
This is how lyrics can shine.
The mind is a lonely place,
Find it and note it's weight
Find it an open space
And time won't oppose your fate.
I work hard bit my talent's way bigger,
I went this way
Although the other way's quicker
And I've got low funds
Only like two figures,
Turns into one in under two minutes.
But I don't need money,
Don't need cars,
Don't want models
I'll still break these charts in an instant,
Leaving an imprint,
Not just an evil, deceitful delinquent.
I love it when this life feels great
Living in a timeless day,
Grateful for all the things that I have
Living with the highest stakes,
I think I'm gonna find my way.
This is where the screen turns black
And the credits start rolling...
Me or the credits?
Who cares you didn't notice...

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.
