lyrics

Chorus
When the sun it starts to fade
all we made,
crumbles to dust in the shade
And my heart it starts to burn
but the world still turns
there’s nothing left for you

Verse 1
Man succumb to pressure, him a saying “Yes Sir”
Rain a come down detract and make a mess
born to bring the fire justice like a tyre
burning round the neck a criminals and liars
come learning at the feet of Mista B
who that with the rhythm Radical Academy.
Enough sense to tuck tail and run
from the area boys brandishing a Russian gun.

Chorus

Verse 2
Blue is the colour of a devil man eye,
touching up his brethren political heathren
the colour of a bad man blood,
spilling on the ground for the sake of false gods.
the rhythm of a bad-man sound
looking for honest they lost and found.
the rhythm of a bad-man blood
him a making up the profit big the war now, big up the flood

Middle 8
We flowing like meteors at night
You flow can’t compete with I in sight
we flow like Oduduwa in the land
CodeWalkers blast you back to empty desert sands.
We flowing like pharaohs in the Nile.
We flowing while you stay in denial
We flowing like lava underneath
CondeWalkers bring the noise come watch us bring the heat.

Outro / drm’n’bass lyrics

What see the man in the face beheld,
the man be a blackamoor, yeah and more
Othello to systemic Iago,
Who needs a nemesis, yo its internal
the voice that catches you watching yourself
are you black enough, do you arch and rough
do you shiver when she listen’s to rachmaninov,
or is it easier to carry a kalashnikov
excuse my mis-russo pronunciation
this void is sacred, annunciation
So what you gonna do? you gonna blow me up?
you gonna shake up and fizz up like a seven up?
my misappropriated rhymes and similes,
bring forth the Naija like haitian refugees
to prove your black say a phrase like 'nigga please'
then watch the vultures try to take away your cheese

I sleep talk in Malay and Nepalese,
Jumping the border like I'm mexicanese
Mix up the lingo, speaking ekonese,
Pigeon english, “na wa Oga please!!”
bucking the trend, enforcing intellect,
understand my lyrics then you bring respect
yourself and your mind and person you could be
shake that ass like a monkey shakes a tree
confusing, that I switch from the basics
to the academic rhetoric of internal spaces.
races, ethnicity and self,
education, power, identity and wealth
Mixup the things defining who you are,
cannot explain the beauty that you are
cannot explain you shining like a star
Only vilifies you, Pablo Escobar
