forje - today lyrics
[intro]
big brother lew on the track
life today…
[verse 1]
today be the topic of discussion
delivery p&p, poetry and percussion
mozart with this art, set apart from competition
real life behind bars, but never been to prison
i’m talking composition
god level, only time my name in the same sentence as religion
others use to excuse a bad decision
live from the streets, say what i see
21st century, repeat of history, exception is technology
the human race, being lead by robots from second place
some call disgrace to solution
feeling better about their contribution to pollution
warming up the globe, too close to home
acid throws, that’s what the club advertis+m+nt poster shows
burning nose, burning ears, burning foes
together they go, fuel and fire
compromise highs with lows
behaviours are designed by clothes and news shows
so far from where we came, but nothing’s really changed
always offended by what someone has to say
so i keep it vague talking about life today
[verse 2]
skip a chorus so i don’t need a second introduction
spit verses that double up as a set of instructions
poster boy rap stranger, you can call me that name
future hall of fame claim, blame the rap game
treat the beat same, as a freestyle
release bars, the style is free
hip hop’s black sheep
dark horse out of the blue, leave you green with envy
rolling out the red carpet too, that’s complimentary
sh+t was getting deep, so i decided to take a minute to speak about me
surrounded by peeps that start a family just to sit them on your desk
kids and pets, tattooed but never seen in the flesh
ironically so is live with no regrets
anyway, sticking to subject
more of life today, coming next
[verse 3]
here’s some sh+t i see…
hands in the air saying “please don’t shoot”
one black left red and the rest follow suit
d+mn
lay your hand, everything put into dispute
we spend our whole lives in pursuit of the truth, but given another excuse
are we free or let loose?
dividing our circle into the duck or the goose?
porch groups, it’s easy to be picked off hanging with strange fruit
tighten the ropes on your hands like a noose until i can’t breathe
and it’s all in bad taste
let’s cut to the chase, it ain’t all about race
there’s those who choose to abuse their position
the authority of authorities isn’t to authorise our existence
we need assistance before we can only observe the purge
nothing left to protect and no one left to serve
before it gets worse, give back life’s worth and value lives of the misheard
rest in peace
shoutout to the real police
that’s something most find hard to say
but that’s just how it is, life today
life today…
[outro]
big brother lew
i told you it was a dangerous game putting a beat like this with my brain
life today
i had to keep it vague
but maybe one day we’ll go into it some more
encore
but for now that’s enough
yeah, we out
