Lyrics

[Intro: Drapht] D-Rapht, D-Ra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apht A-a-a-apht [Verse 1: Drapht] My Mecca of motivation is facing destruction Develop growing hatred, the face of seduction My patience erupted, now my liberation's Abducted, living through this name I've constructed Not paid, so reluctant, sucked into darkness A place where I couldn't give a fuck if your heart's with us Half your love doesn't even compare To the energy I get from an enemy's stare Is anyone there? I'm short of replies I'm starved with nothin' to feed off in this Lord of the Flies I'm cornered by tribes of doubt without an escape I'm screaming' and shoutin' louder to get out of this place Looking out on the space, thinkin' "How the fuck did this happen?" I thought I would've kept on rapping till my lungs are collapsing But I'm lackin' all inspiration, rackin' my brain I want it to be just like how they had it back in the day [Verse 2: Dazastah] Stuck in the timeless thought Brought up to think my dreams are made from the future, but of course The suckers were wrong, as I pull on the bong Bubble my thoughts on a course inspired from a song 'Cause everything I think of stems from the past Learn from my idols not from a paid teacher in class My heroes weren't rock stars or sport celebrities The truth'd be, I look up to my friends and family I'm thankin' everyone who gave me a chance Who gave me a hand, when my head was stuck in the sand To my Mum and my Dad, for their eternal love My brothers, cousins, uncles, aunties and my little godson You're the reason and drive, why I put up with these critics Take the disses and see very low financial figures I'm sayin' thanks Lay and your family, without you I probably hang on the streets with the wrong crew [Chorus: Drapht] Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll [Verse 3: Optamus] Never gonna quit this biz, it's too far gone I walk the monumental step like my name was Neil Armstrong One giant leap for mankind, nothin' major Syllabolik, historically I find it later It's time for the peeps now, I feel this deep down Echoing through your soul, now feel the rebound Piercing your heart, now open your eyes And light, you're like near-death when you're showing the lie 'Cause I spitting these lessons of the Stairway to Heaven So the gods can hear my call when I'm no longer present I got a penchant for dramatics, but never mistake My lyrics be the cogs turning that will instigate change Every phrase, every verse, every word, every sound Every little bit of shit that's coming out my mouth So get on down kid, yeah Drapht, Downsyde, Layla [Bridge: Drapht] Singing da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da dum (Da da da da) [Chorus: Drapht] Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll [Verse 4: Dyna-Mikes] The days, we're all gettin' older The nights, it's all gettin' colder I need a shoulder to cry on Hear the call of the lion lost in Zion, Babylon Perth city, stand with me, march with me Laugh with me and fight with me Sip a drink from this cup and live forever Listen to this song, it'll all be better See the road we chose ain't covered in gold It's smothered with blood and then covered with love It's the Wiz that I want 'cause I need a heart I need to be brave to face the past I'm inspired by life 'cause these words I write Are non-fiction, listen to the wisdom Our actions all preordained Once you make a choice, things'll never be the same [Verse 5: Layla] Welcome to the explanation for the waited on one Patience push us, slash voodoo cushion with a half vacant tongue Casting the plaque of an aardvark's gums Wasting spirit like gum, bust up of our lies More undown and tied than a car park Hated mirrors, the first a slump and the last up A dark angel number one Steer to the ground, I'm a stark naked souls Unfolding now, so, come and fill my gaping holes I staple peeled feathers to doubt and once blazing coals Pillaging this staff of clues and treasures I'm still missing, pulls your path like carcass lepers Or six-year-old girls left a piss glass In African deserts, I'm a split vases searching for my petals Before I tip the basket in Harping on one string, far from laughing with inspiration In fact I think he's taken my man on a lont 'Cause he's passionately groping her curves as I'm deferred Hanging for hope, struck high, caught up in moping Can't even teach myself the ropes I'll tire Nah, you're coping, revising bring me eager reason When I'm pinched and I'm bleeding, I'm like, "La, you're here breathing." But it's clearly eating away at chips And I apologise, I only wish I had some advice for you kids [Chorus: Drapht] Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold) Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll) But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold) We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
