lyrics

Ive overdosed on sadness
Now I’m facing all the repercussions,
Grief Is something that I need
And I just need to trust it,
I’ve been sleeping with my demons
For Some cheap assumptions,
I’ve been fighting to survive bellow the deepest dungeons
Here after the briefest slumber.
I roll the dice I keep on landing on uneven number…
Never surrender to a greedy hunger
The lightening strikes before you hear the thunder,
Our minds are clogged and I unlock them with abbey plunger.
This is how I do it and I know that there are other ways
I never pray but see, my angels are a breath away
And I’m awake but still I’m dreaming of a better place
I need a bit of space,
My mind is overloaded.
It seems like everything is strange the more I get to know it
No I’m not the best of poets
And I do not stress to show it
Now I’m on the path that I’ve requested and it’s stress I know it.
This life is beautifully challenging,
It will never put you to the test if you can’t manage it
So put your back in it
You’re frozen like a mannequin.
Focus on the baby steps for problems that you’re handling
And all your problems soon will be resolved through understanding them.
That’s my methodology
And juxtaposedly my odyssey,
Writing like I studied anthropology,
I study life and it’s so hard to find some honesty
‘Cause everywhere I look I see the lies are right on top of me.
That’s why I write to find some honesty
‘Cause honestly -
I see the world as a monopoly,
Where most the people never strive for what they want to be,
And Most the people only look for what they want to see…
And we’re enslaved so is this slavery?
The media tries to hide it but I put it out there blatantly.
And it’s the truth that’s really saving me
Now that’s ironic cause the truth is also breaking me.
That’s the hardest part,
And you can’t make it in this life with only half a heart,
That’s kind of obvious so maybe that’s my daftest bar
Or maybe it’s the smartest I don’t know -
I guess it’s hard to grasp.
What I see is not just half a glass,
It’s a blessing that the glass is even ours to grasp
I’ve been grasping straws and it’s the grass that really calms my arse,
I enjoy the tears because I know I’ll be the last to laugh.
I suffer from instability
I nearly quit school and I nearly suffered the military.
I found music and really found an affinity
Until infinity, I really mean that literally,
Now I see that life is not a burden is was gifted me.
And I don’t live to be,
I live to seize the moment that’s My self fulfilling victory.

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.
