That Sound

from A Story All About How by The Scribes

lyrics

This time it's a step too far
Probably gonna hate us in the next few bars
I'm not really hip hop but I guess you are
It's the death of my rep like oh my god
I don't need it keep no secrets
The meakest to preach through your speakers
Defeat the elitists who reach for a new sense of purpose
That soon becomes pointless come seek us
And I'm sleepless plus the nights are long
Which then leads us just to fight the dawn
And it seems that when I write a song
I've got scenesters telling me right from wrong
I'll be right along Mr Hip-hop-scene
It's obscene this is not me
This just means I've no means to bust through
Right now I'm the proud face of fuck you

This feeling won't go
And that sound
It won't leave me alone
This feeling won't go
And that sound
It won't leave me alone

Doc opened my mind up yes indeed
Got a shock from the lock like electric keys
Repressed memories with a top up fee
Mentality large charge by the sweat bead
Can't see through the grease then you can't catch me
It's a blur absurd said the words on the beat
But the words on the street like Big Bird's speech
Canaries in the mine only live so deep
But I can't sleep so I've gone too far
Hear the thump of the drum hum on the radar
Thundersome war-cry it sounds so large
Done lost my mind confined to the bars
Yes ya'll locked up that's a step too far
I stressed blew the whistle in excess my God
Drives me crazy says the baby of the tar
Maybe the guitar will save me from the pain of the barrage

This feeling won't go
And that sound
It won't leave me alone
This feeling won't go
And that sound
It won't leave me alone

Give me the speaker I'm here to seek the sound that's underneath you
Discreetly greet the crowd I'm a mild social feature
A Zatoichi preacher blind faith scene stealer
Yes the best no distress KRS call me the teacher
Overseer of the throne take your pigeon hole home
I'm Hogan with the rope just to hang your hopes on
Non-stop action capture dreams with my tone
Master of systems since Phantasy Zone

64 bit definition hi-tech retro
New wave high grade audio
Masked man free speech leap of faith
Invisible ink well wisher in stereo
Here we go
Heroes don't prosper here
Not to fear here I am
That sounds so damn familiar
Do you hear me now?
Staring down star struck golden eye silver tongue
Hi-tech retro futurist still to come

This feeling won't go
And that sound
It won't leave me alone
This feeling won't go
And that sound
It won't leave me alone
