INTRO - Vocal Sample

You dont trust me?

No!

Then there's nothing I can do to help

You wanna help me?

Certainly

PRE - CHORUS - Jehst

If the world was to burn who am I to grieve?

Still I take it on my shoulders my heart on my sleeve

If the world was to burn who am I to mourn?

Treat it like the last time every time that I perform

VERSE ONE - Confucius MC

Eye of the storm

Destroyed until the mind is reformed

Hope the world will be left to the kind and the warm

We step to the stage when its time to perform

Tryina elevate way above all the lines that were drawn

The live tapestry

Where they stay slicing life drastically

And each face is elegantly placed where it has to be

Catch the beat in the midst of catastrophe

Blue crooked flame in my hand sitting placidly

Where trust issues keep us all distant

The pen and the sword absorbed in my short mission

We distort vision, reaching for truth

But falling short of wisdom

Named and numbered compliant in this corporate prison

Pay the price, keep the soul on ice

Book a table for the lost serving soul on rice

You may decide to hold on tight or simply let go

Falling forever, drowned in a thousand echos

Where fried chicken is king with a thousand tescos

And tryina do an expose will get you exposed

The stress rose while I bless flows

While young ladies stack pennies and pounds to make their chest grow

Im tryina live and let go but moments cling to me

An instrument just playing my part in this broken symphony

All hail the unknown force that keeps it all moving

The biggest waves always starting with a small movement

PRE - CHORUS - Jehst

If the world was to burn who am I to grieve?

Still I take it on my shoulders my heart on my sleeve

If the world was to burn who am I to mourn?

Treat it like the last time every time that I perform

CHORUS - MANIK MC & Jehst

Speed it up and then we slow it down, down

Seeking shelter in this broken town

All we know's a broken home, and a frozen frown

You best be stepping up or else they'll have you stepping down, down

VERSE TWO - MANIK MC

I'm living impulsive with no patience

Signal to the sky with my shoulders in rotation

Looking empty eyed, we're all products of no nation

Exclamate the deep, spit the speech and close the quotations

A world of no colour as this paint drips on pavements

Meditations of a vagrant, know our fate is ever changing

Life is what you make it, minds i'm penetrating

Many mics i'm devastating, time we rise to the occasion

As we strive for elevation, rolling papers when the moods right

Blast away the darkness til we're dancing in the moonlight

Striving for perfection tryina tighten up them loose rhymes

Its colder by the day and family I ain't tryina lose mines

Thats why the mandem stepping straight, at least we try to be

Let that sentence sit, soaking up the irony

(Soaking up the irony)

And if this world was to burn I ask myself who am I to grieve?

No way to change my mood

I watch a rainy day fading from a grey to a navy blue

What was we meant to prove, thinking that we chase the truth

Walking talking cliches just tryina shake them labels loose

They gotta know this life ain't roses and dandelions

Walks by the riverside, dancing with the dragonflies

Stuck up in this pantomime, watching our talents die

Living in a shitty manor dreaming of a paradise

Since fifteen we been munching beans like its pac-man

Lyrics hitting minus degress like this is lapland

Coming out the city where the pipes smoke and gats bang

We walk the same streets the pied piper and the rats ran

Tryina shake the spirits out the back of my brain

Cos they been whispering on my shoulders til i'm actually insane

They stay preying on my fears, had me hating on my peers

My visions clear, since I put them back in their place

PRE - CHORUS - Jehst

If the world was to burn who am I to grieve?

Still I take it on my shoulders my heart on my sleeve

If the world was to burn who am I to mourn?

Treat it like the last time every time that I perform

CHORUS - MANIK MC & Jehst

Speed it up and then we slow it down, down

Seeking shelter in this broken town

All we know's a broken home, and a frozen frown

You best be stepping up or else they'll have you stepping down, down
