DONT LET ME WAKE UP 1. In darkness, no sharpness, no outlines, just starkness, I can't see in front of me, no clarity between you and me, I hear you breathing, and you're moving, closer to me and your sighs they are soothing, Your scent I have spent much time recalling, now you're present.. And though I can't see your face, I can feel every bit, of your body on mine as I bite my lip, Take a sip, this is it, bout to go on a trip, can I handle it.. CHORUS: Don't let me wake up...not before you, not before you've Don't let me wake up, not with what you're doing to me Don't let me wake up...not before you, not before you've Don't let me wake up, not with what you're doing to me 2. Im turning in my sleep Pulling at my sheets and I can't stand the heat Im aware this aint real but for now it's deal Gotta keep my eyes closed so I can feel The way you enfold me, boy how you hold me, press your body closer, tell me I'm your baby, When in reality, you barely notice me, I hold every conversation that we have to memory. I look forward to the dark, to the night, to the dreams that invade and imprint on my mind. Nows the time, cross the line and for once I will find, I can truly say you're mine... CHORUS: Don't let me wake up...not before you, not before you've Don't let me wake up, not with what you're doing to me Don't let me wake up...not before you, not before you've Don't let me wake up, not with what you're doing to me Bridge: And would it be like this if you let me into your life Yeah would it be as if I had known you this whole time.. I wanna find a way to maka it all come true I wanna find a way - to get within, get within you.. Dynamite: It's like I'm dreaming with my eyes open. Its all you, every one of my thoughts, why can't they be spoken, Its half dream and its half hoping The whole truth? I want you right by side, for once Im not joking And you don't know what i think of this Into my life you bring more than your smile, you bring sheer bliss Its those lips that I long to kiss Its so bad that your fragrance alone can make my body shift. And for this love Id go to far lands I wann bring you back home, burn clocks and change all plans Its all real if it all lasts We'll have that clones divine, left hand extends to right hand I can't bare it and I can't take it If this is really a dream leave me, my shoulder don't shake it Cos right here we could be together Its all perfect lets taste the embrace that outlasts forever CHORUS: Don't let me wake up...not before you, not before you've Don't let me wake up, not with what you're doing to me Don't let me wake up...not before you, not before you've Don't let me wake up, not with what you're doing to me I know Im dreaming but you're on my mind, I know Im dreaming but you're on my mind, Every day and every night you're on my mind, you're on my mind.. I know Im dreaming but you're on my mind, I know Im dreaming but you're on my mind, Every day and every night you're on my mind, you're on my mind.. Don't let me wake up.. Don't let me.. Don't let me wake up.. Don't let me wake up.. from this feeling, no no no From this feeling, from this feeling...

Take A Look 02:54
TAKE A LOOK 1 He aint killing me softly he's hurting me hard like the beat of a big fat drum, and its getting so bad that I feel i've no choice, but to turn on my heels and run, and the minute Im out on the street I can breathe, I can see what's to be done, I'm waking up for the first time alongside the cities morning hum.. People they pass me by I've got my head up high, I'm feeling fresh and new... getting on.. without you.. CHORUS I'm tired of holding my breath (take a look) Wondering whats gonna come next (take a look) been wanting this for so long, (take a look) so here I come.. here I come... 2. Born with a spoon in her mouth and the need to manipulate at will Lying and stealing and she got me feeling that friendship aint her skill Write her a letter and tell her Im better without that in my life Cos she'd be the first to kiss you with her words and then stab you with a knife. It took so long to see, what was, right there in front of me, And now, Im feeling fresh and new, getting on.. without you... CHORUS I'm tired of holding my breath (take a look) Wondering whats gonna come next (take a look) been wanting this for so long, (take a look) so here I come.. here I come... I'm tired of holding my breath (take a look) Wondering whats gonna come next (take a look) been wanting this for so long, (take a look) so here I come.. here I come... mmm take a look mmm take a look mmmm take a look mmmmm

Im flipping lyrics constantly, satiric styles come naturally, I blast it fast you can't beat me, your last, I star come naturally confusion see, comes easily, it seems to be its chasing me, fast forward remind my mind in time, the clock is ticking, Im behind Make haste my lifes a race to find a beat to find my feet, my futures set just like the sun, tour of duty my life begun, scientific soldier my rhymes I run I spit the words shoot like a gun.. CHORUS Now Im here, you better be aware,no stopping me when Im dropping swiftly, twist my words the way i come all athletic, smooth like silk when you're like synthetic, melodies flow when Im hitting the supertonic on the microphonic, feel my force I invade your shores with a little more, of whats in store.. Atmospheric, timing planned, change the sound - generics banned, Im reprazenting all of this, clean concise I come up crisp, goin in circles wheres the line? I'll draw it if you give me time My brain is trained sing classically, I spurt the verse as the MC, Under pressure, under fire, my aim of the game to take you higher, So you can see the way I roll, Im rockin it ready and steady to go, A lesson im guessing that you should know - Share the fall, Maintain the flow, Hold it down, cos here we go... CHORUS Now Im here, you better be aware,no stopping me when Im dropping swiftly, twist my words the way i come all athletic, smooth like silk when you're like synthetic, melodies flow when Im hitting the supertonic on the microphonic, feel my force I invade your shores with a little more, of whats in store.. 3. Blue skies, tall spires, so many people Im inspired, desired to see this place so much, reminds me all I wanna touch, just within reach Im holding back run off the track, Im just a needle in a stack collect my thoughts and watch my back. I represent a different flow, a unique sound that slowly grows, elastic ever-changing, manipulation in the place, just one definition for the sound of Drum and Bass, Just another way the rhythms gonna give chase.. I got a chance to advance and enhance what makes you dance. I took the opportunity and now I rock the M.I.C Many styles that influence and this is a continuance, so check out my delivery, I hope you're ready for me! CHORUS Now Im here, you better be aware,no stopping me when Im dropping swiftly, twist my words the way i come all athletic, smooth like silk when you're like synthetic, melodies flow when Im hitting the supertonic on the microphonic, feel my force I invade your shores with a little more, of what's in store.. of whats in store... Now Im here, you better be aware,no stopping me when Im dropping swiftly, twist my words the way i come all athletic, smooth like silk when you're like synthetic, melodies flow when Im hitting the supertonic on the microphonic, feel my force I invade your shores with a little more of whats in store......yeah of whats in store, whats in store, yeaaaaah... Now Im here you better beware, no stopping me, no no stopping me smooth like silk you're like synthetic.. melodies flow when Im hitting the supertonic on the microphonic, feel my force I invade your shores with a little more, of what's in store..

LYRIC ON MY LIP Vs 1. TALI: "At night Im kept awake by me, Thinking of lyrics constantly, Im listening to my favourite tune, Rehearsing versin round the room, it hypes me up won't let me sleep And then I know that I'm in deep For nothin' keeps me from my bed 'cept for these thoughts inside my head This music plagues me all the time, and simple words become a rhyme, It freaks me how this music can, so influence my life and plan Directions that I wanna take, must include the hard core breaaaak… CHORUS Cos I gotta lyric on my lip. And once it starts it just won't quit Cos I've got a rhyme upon my tongue, And I can't stop once I've begun I gotta lyric on my lip.. And once it starts it just won't quit I've got a rhyme upon my tongue, And I can't stop once I've begun Vs 2 TALI: "Each single step upon the streets, accompanied by a rapid beat, A soundtrack played out every day, it influences how I play, it infiltrates the words I say It picks me up takes me away - I really can't believe that I, without the sound could once get by I've been infected by the vibe, for this break I live and die, It's in my blood, it's in my heart, can be no end without a start - At first it's just a wicked break rolled out by the DJ, but then the other elements come into play CHORUS Cos I gotta lyric on my lip. And once it starts it just won't quit Cos I've got a rhyme upon my tongue, And I can't stop once I've begun I gotta lyric on my lip.. And once it starts it just won't quit I've got a rhyme upon my tongue, And I can't stop once I've begun MIDDLE 8 Lyric On My, Lyric on my, Lyric on my lip Lyric on my, lyric on my, lyric on my lip Lyric On My, Lyric on my, Lyric on my lip Lyric on my, lyric on my, lyric on my lip…

Grey Days 05:47
GREY DAYS 1. On a grey day as the city chills, cool wind blows in from patchwork hills, my stomach stretched and milky white, upon my single bed I write, on a grey day red slated roofs, square curtained eyes peer in my room, open window, breeze seems to say, pulling tendrils of my hair - "come out and play" On a grey day I watched you lying, wake up beautiful boy, don't sleep through my crying, long lashes resting on sculptured cheeks, we take it slo but days turn into weeks.. CHORUS On a grey day I could stay like this forever, warm naked languishing the two of us together, Im a slip of girl wanting to smother your skin, you're loving me but not really loving me within, Still distant misted eyes, like the rain I see - hanging over fields at the end of my street, you know I block it out determined not to care, only needing the knowledge of your presence here.. 2. On a grey day rain strains through collected clouds, the sky cries as a tickle of tears rain down, outlining our emotions, defining our slumber, babygirl in your embrace, turns her face Im going under, "what am I gonna do with you?" he whispers my name and the winds hysterical song, makes me wonder the same. He says Im a romantic, he tells me Im sweet, and yet he still won't stay with me.. CHORUS On a grey day I could stay like this forever, warm naked languishing the two of us together, Im a slip of girl wanting to smother your skin, you're loving me but not really loving me within, Still distant misted eyes, like the rain I see - hanging over fields at the end of my street, you know I block it out determined not to care, only needing the knowledge of your presence here.. oohhhh.. 3. On a grey day I wandered, clothes damp and cold, watching umbrellas scurry by my steps deliberate and slow..not really knowing, where I was going..cobbled streets, intricate beats, the river flowing.. Who cares?... and who knows?... a question mark tattooed, right there on my brain and baby the artist was you.. CHORUS On a grey day I could stay like this forever, warm naked languishing the two of us together, Im a slip of girl wanting to smother your skin, you're loving me but not really loving me within, Still distant misted eyes, like the rain I see - hanging over fields at the end of my street, you know I block it out determined not to care, only needing the knowledge of your presence here.. On a grey day I could stay like this forever, warm naked languishing the two of us together, Im a slip of girl wanting to smother your skin, you're loving me but not really loving me within, Still distant misted eyes, like the rain I see - hanging over fields at the end of my street, You know I block it out, determined not to care, only needing needing needing you - here, oh here, oh here... needing you needing you needing you here, oh, on this grey grey grey grey, grey day... COOL NIGHTS (hidden track) Cool nights, warm days, smokey bars that fill your eyes with haze You don't, understand, whats going on and why you're with that man He don't, treat you good, and he doesn't give you what he should Going on like it's a game and pretending he can't recall your name.. So what's going on, what's going on, what you doing there yeah So whats going on, whats going on, what you doing with that man? what's going on, what's going on, what you doing there yeah Spending all your time, spending all you time there with that man spending all you time there with that man, He's no good for you girl what you doing with that man?

Soul Star 04:27
CHORUS Even thou, even though even though I am afar, You're always gonna, always gonna be my Soulstar, Im always gonna always gonna be a soldier, Spreading the light, representing the mic x2 1. Heroes, come in all shapes and all forms theres those whose words have helped me through the storms In times when I though I'd never rise above, he told me take the mic and do it for the love Step upon the stage and bring that rugged flow Let em know you're gonna take it International since then I been doing this for all of my days For that I gotta thank your loving ways (love your ways) CHORUS Even thou, even though even though I am afar, You're always gonna, always gonna be my Soulstar, Im always gonna always gonna be a soldier, Spreading the light, representing the mic x2 2. Once upon a time a certain king had savage thoughts, in the method of his madness I found I was caught inspired to take my rhymes abroad he watched my first step encouraged me to bust a rap, for that I can't forget And late nights listening to the Che on Misty Frequencies, again inspired me to make my mark 'mongst all of these Scientific in the brightness of a Concord Dawn, and fore anyone could blink, I'd Shapeshifted and was gone..." 3. Heroes, come in all shapes and disguises, there's those who cannot help but inspire us.. and I'd like to think Im inspired you, cos though we're separated we're still part of the same crew, A land whose voices long to be heard, reach em up and let em soar like a bird, Never ever try to be, something that you're not, Always be thankful for every single thing you've got, let the lyrics from your lips land on every earlobe, as we're taking this sound to four corners of the globe.. let em know.. CHORUS Even thou, even though even though I am afar, You're always gonna, always gonna be my Soulstar, Im always gonna always gonna be a soldier, Spreading the light, representing the mic x2

DONT BLAME ME CHORUS Dont blame me, dont blame me (who could ever see that it was gonna be this way?) Don't blame me, cos I watched you turn and walk away, Dont blame me, dont blame me, (Don't think that I'll ever forget that day) Dont blame me - when I had to go but wanted to stay.. 1. I think of you as the train rumbles over head, lying where I left ya, stretched out in bed..naked half covered in sheets, from being with me, I smile to myself as I head into the city, I recall the first time I saw you that night, hid my smiles for your styles were at first hard to like, but now I just appreciate the way you understand my mind, and the quickness of your mouth leaves my sense blind.. CHORUS Dont blame me, dont blame me (who could ever see that it was gonna be this way?) Don't blame me, cos I watched you turn and walk away, Dont blame me, dont blame me, (Don't think that I'll ever forget that day) Dont blame me - when I had to go but wanted to stay.. BRIDGE: It's funny how after chilling for a short time, You're now so strong within, my heart and my mind After just a few weeks, your loving techniques, Have helped to make me feel so complete, and now the city lights glitter in the dusk as I roam, not long now till they're no longer my home, but even though I gotta go and leave you behind, you know out theres a dream I gotta find.. CHORUS Dont blame me, dont blame me (who could ever see that it was gonna be this way?) Don't blame me, cos I watched you turn and walk away, Dont blame me, dont blame me, (Don't think that I'll ever forget that day) Dont blame me - when I had to go but wanted to stay.. 3. And ever since I left you at departures that day, theres still been a few things that I've been meaning to say, you're still running my thoughts as ever present as the beats, that provide the soundtrack to these inner city streets, and I'd like to think you don't blame me, for saying goodbye, cos the loving you gave me was inspiration for rhymes, music my master and rhythms my Don, and the thought of you guiding me on.. CHORUS Don't blame me, don't blame me (who could ever see that it was gonna be this way?) Trying to get over you.. Don't blame me, cos I watched you turn and walk away, (need you still.. here) Don't blame me, dont blame me, (Don't think that I'll ever forget that day) Don't blame me - when I had to go but wanted to stay.. Don't blame me, dont blame me (who could ever see that it was gonna be this way?) Don't blame me, cos I watched you turn and walk away, Don't blame me, dont blame me, (Don't think that I'll ever forget that day) Don't blame me - when I had to go but wanted to stay.. Trying to get over you.... Don't think that I'll ever forget that day - Who could ever see that it was gonna be this way...
