after hours (aus) - forever and a day lyrics

[interlude]
“music’s a hard life
gotta be smart or you not gonna make it
gotta reach down inside, pull out your soul every day
every note, every word, every song”
“like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never+ending or beginning
on an ever+spinning reel
like a circle in a spiral
like a wheel within a wheel
never+ending or beginning
on an ever+spinning reel”

[scratches: dj jugular]
“i live inside the mind of the listener
through the speaker”
“forever and a day”
“i livе inside the mind of the listеner
through the speaker”
“forever and a day”

[verse 1: headlock]
once we leave this earth, that’s it, we’re gone forever
as a result, we live with the pressure of tryna be remembered
so all our life’s endeavours are measured by their tenure
to keep our name alive once a tether to the mortal coil is severed
and those are endowed with the power to get a mention or a say
can put their words down in print and live forever in a day
with every statement, as i make it, i’m able to be immortal
when my time through the vinyl’s history with a turntable as a portal
people who never knew me can remember my achievements
so the onus is on me to make something dope and be sure i mean it
’cause one hundred years from now, long after we expire
records will still exist to put voices through speaker wires
as long as someone’s listening on their systems, we’re existing
just the point in time is different so our presence is still missing
but that’s cool when all’s said and done and the transactions final
the best part of my life is captured in the crackling vinyl
[verse 2: pressure]
i held my breath forever, just to see this underground
and d+mn near drowned, tryna surface around this ocean of sounds
what we know in the now could [?]
too little is known to these has+beens, i want my name chiselled in stone
it’s all about the aftermath, who had the largest heart
to nurture [?] till they [?]
[?] won’t last, i’m leavin’ pieces of my thesis
but man, i guess we’re dreamers ’cause we all know time is seamless
heightenin’ fevers constrict my breathing, if life did leave us
and strip my being, it would be meaning, ah, sh+t we leaving
when my time is out, take my wallet and buy a shout
donate my setup, so that others can get up after i’m signin’ out
whatever the way, i live for every day i got left
and never delay to reach my goals, man, i never will stray
from the path i’m walkin’ with my last breath, i will say
not every soul lives forever and a day

[verse 3: edits]
i’m cold, my thoughts are trapped inside internal grooves, unsatisfied
but pacified, integrity in categories, we’re classified
it’s after hours, here’s your dinner music, set the tables
i’ll drown in my instrumentals, unable to break these tangled cables
i found fabled love in lost religion, captured by lost music
with our first release complete, will my sweet muse become illusive
or obtrusive? does our relationship remain exclusive
and conducive to the truth if evidence is inconclusive?
self+abusive, i don’t make the grade when markin’ these assignments
i’ve cranked the anti+skating but still feel out of alignment
’cause my time spent on creating an outlet from this confinement
that’s defined by [?] packaged and shipped out on consignment
when you’re finally done rewinding, reminding me where my life’s gone
then you become the judge, is this a certified wise type of song?
’cause right or wrong, these other roads we chose to ride upon
i face my fate on wax, place me back in stack crates where i might belong
[verse 4: debris]
from sunrise to sunset, from credits to debts
i’m comin’ back from the dead to keep stressin’ out you mosfets
so place your bets while the dogs are still racin’
take a look at the odds before the winner gets a placin’
i’m steady chasin’ attainable dreams
i’ve studied this race long enough to make the ends means
always winning in teams, so my efforts are appreciated
time goes quick but some things are never dated
even when the day is faded, there’s still a path to choose
don’t put nails in my coffin if i ask you for tech screws
to win or lose is not the question at hand
if i keep achieving goals and keep standin’ on firm land
and never think of sand as time in the hourglass
that’s for opportunists that’s passive and sit on their +rs+
i skipped the class to take this job with no pay
made the most of my time to live forever in a day

[verse 5: interger]
we’re guaranteed to last due to exceptional persistence
allowing our thoughts to travel an acceptable distance
past [?] resistors to our perpetual existence
to provide open minds with intellectual assistance
by the time i’ve departed this place and discarded this race
my presence on radio singles will surpass charted sp+ce
once these words are released, they can be eternally heard
even as photographs fade and become indiscernibly blurred
this music’s something that’ll last till time’s conclusion
it’s something solid in a world of ill+defined illusions
a lifetime of exclusion and misaligned delusions
writing rhymes in seclusion, brain entwined by confusion
i’ve absorbed so much hip+hop, it now burns through my veins
so many things have come and gone, but this is our turn to remain
i’ve discovered that every action has suitable implications
by freein’ your mind, you can surpass all the usual limitations
[scratches: dj jugular]
“i live inside the mind of the listener
through the speaker”
“forever and a day”
“i live inside the mind of the listener
through the speaker”
“forever and a day”

[interlude]
“music keeps playing inside my head
over and over and over again
my friend, there’s no end
to the music
music keeps playing inside my head
over and over and over again
my friend, there’s no end
to the music”
“hahaha
lord have mercy
how’d that old song get into my head?”
