about

This is the only right track to kick off The Sound Of Colours EP. It has evolved through the years from various ideas but i pulled it together, dusted it off, mixed it and rewrote the vocals i had previously had on it. You can find a video on myspace of me doing the old verse.

lyrics

Verse 1
Live in the place on a saturday night
the headline act is catching stage fright
and thats true, i dont exagerate hype
don't take Flash for that X-Factor fake type
I string words together like classic playwrites
Shit'd make you wanna go back and pay twice
But dont hate, you should congratulate like
you would a reigning champion after they fight
a lot of waste man rap as of late, why
do they act like its fine to fabricate lies
they dumb it down so much that ya brain dies
but my new school, true boom bap can save lifes
yes it runs that deep, fuck that cliche
gay rap, DJ run that beat
its like a Rocky Balboa come back theme
the running up the steps or the punchbag theme
Flash the champine, I fuck up tag teams
you rappers arent fit to lick my nutsack clean
let alone headline when Im on the bill
Bro, dont trip thinkin you got signed for your skill
shit, brainwashed fans dont decide if you're ill
coz if the two of us stood side by side youd be killed
and so i stand out from a thousand other
dull minds who are blind to my sound of colours

Chorus
And I hereby declare my body a vessel
Through which the spiritual bonds with the mental
I pledge to never interupt its connection
Let it flow in its own direction
Said I herby declare my body a vessel
Through which the spiritual bonds with the mental
I pledge to never interupt its connection
Let it flow in its own direction
Let it flow

Verse 2
Let it flow, Young go getter go get the gold
let them know, open up like centre folds
and connect the globe,
took Manhattan, the Berlin like Im Leanord Cohen
The professionalism is set in stone
Embedded in every bone, and never could it be cloned
presented in episodes, i vent it at every show
even in December, do i get a cold reception? Noooo
When my pen strokes, shit is like your left side going numb
Maybe thats the reason why you rappers sound so dumb
I could play this game all day but shouldnt have to
The whole world should see that you're shit is fucking wack dude
but they got ways to alter what you think of songs
the whole United Kingdom got a pair of blinkers on
thats why you sing along to every single thing thats on
your radio, i dont know, maybe you dont think its wrong
but i do, and im not afraid of sayin so
so much wack shit, but i moderate the ratio
born for the role and ive gotta let the majors know
porn for the soul, make it blow, like felatio
so be opinionated, hate it if you must do
i could be creative bout it, but na, fuck you
man you're just the same as a thousand other
dull minds who are blind to my sound of colours

Chorus
And I hereby declare my body a vessel
Through which the spiritual bonds with the mental
I pledge to never interupt its connection
Let it flow in its own direction
Said I herby declare my body a vessel
Through which the spiritual bonds with the mental
I pledge to never interupt its connection
Let it flow in its own direction
Let it flow
