Blue Afternoons

Lyrics

CHORUS - MANIK MC & Natty Wylah Blue afternoons and grey evenings We stay afflicted by the changing of the seasons We stay conflicted by the changes that we're feeling So put your hands up high and raise them to the ceiling X2 VERSE ONE - MANIK MC I'm letting the beat play Cos I been running the mic like its a relay None of mine's got time for the he-say and she-say We just tryina touch your minds in a deep way Speaking what we're seeing life ain't sweetened like a cheesecake Cos these days, lapping mc's like this is speedway Man are tryina reach the country manor from the estate The beast stays creeping round the east where the heat stays The weeds blaze, where the children of the streets raised The fiends stay where the white rules and the b reigns Police stay listening to every syllable we say The beef stains, from the kerb to the shopfront Whole generations either getting merked or getting locked up Yh fam its happening its best to believe this Societies a cycle and the deaths stay repeating Lean a little closer let me bless you with a secret A life lived for love ain't a life lived in weakness CHORUS - MANIK MC & Natty Wylah Blue afternoons and grey evenings We stay afflicted by the changing of the seasons We stay conflicted by the changes that we're feeling So put your hands up high and raise them to the ceiling X2 VERSE TWO - Natty Wylah Moody blue days, double glazed glass on these new trains Whole carriage with their heads bowed like we do pray Fingering the beads from the neck hanging the cross But steady swiping on these screens next station i'm off Its pure frost, carpets of crystal The setting sun ceremony its a ritual Of another day, blessed is the radiant light Send the sun in full circle bringing pink to the night Shepherds Delight, pardon me its maybe more than warning While we're glitching out and falling in this virtual abyss Send my love to the morning dew tweeting bout the birdsongs Singing reminiscing bout the worms that he missed Blaming the mist, but birds of a feather in this world don Every man dealing with the food on their dish Its how we exist, its relevant depending on your seating But no matter where you're sitting theres a reason to live BRIDGE - VOCAL SAMPLE High pressure in charge of the scene at the moment Bringing more in the way of cloud across England and Wales We will see thicker cloud moving in, mist and murk and strengthening winds as well Heavy showers eventually following on behind, particularly in western areas And some rain, into, the northwest VERSE THREE - MANIK MC Yo i'm taking a quick second to reflect upon this life of mine I feel the heat from the fire when I ride the rhyme The clocks ticking as I bide my time Stopped fucking with this life of crime so I nine to fived Line after line im just tryina find perspective Remain the sea of peace as these times are getting hectic Late nights I can't stop until the rhyme scheme perfected Walking this gritty city on guard like i'm fencing Beast with the beats and the bars i'm advanced Stepping the levels up, i'm just tryina leave the past in the past Cos you don't know half of the half Mind cast in a trance As we dance on this warm summers evening Either you march or you better start retreating Got us working full time living for the weekend Advancing on the targets while these half wits be sleeping And know we're suffocating mc's with the deepness CHORUS - MANIK MC & Natty Wylah Blue afternoons and grey evenings We stay afflicted by the changing of the seasons We stay conflicted by the changes that were feeling So put your hands up high and raise them to the ceiling X2
