nks (nz) - west indies / summit drive lyrics
[part i: west indies]
[intro]
nks back in the building
nks back on his business
nks back on the mission
(woo)
[verse]
‘bout time i tap back into my rap bag
changing the destination, check the satnav
it’s time i get my feet back on the beat and resume my tap dance
to be frank, it’s been a quick minute since i dun last spazzed
on a cold melody sounding like i got no empathy
but all i really got is empathy, all other thoughts are secondary
know i got saffron in mix, not just for the recipe
brought me down in the box, now i’m on the spot like it’s a penalty
i’m an independent entity
get to the point, skip the pleasantries
this young boy ain’t got time for your wee attempts at impressing me
high stakes plus a tight race brings out the best in me
but only rarely does the riveting energy peak with ecstasy
i’m done with putting myself on the line
i’m engaged in something else you see
i’m looking for a better deal, i’ll find one eventually
leave it all to god (god), he knows what’s best for me
it’s written in the stars, they know my destiny
tryna satisfy myself before i start to work towards a legacy
making so many actions unaware of what the effects will reap
can’t open every door with brute force, gotta go fetch the key
gotta play it smarter not harder, not waste my intensity
like i’ve spent hours in the booth been
making all these bars appear on the page so fluid
but interestingly when it comes to the execution
i hesitate to convert the groups of words from text to speech ‘cause
(you know how i’m feeling inside)
sometimes it don’t make sense to me
seen the world with my eyes, now i wanna see it intellectually
but first i gotta look around and support those who are next to me
soon i won’t be a boy no more
gotta start to move with a new integrity
ooh, the wind’s blowing gale+force near extremity
but that sun makes me feel like i’m in the west indies
(you know you get goosebumps)
the young boy is only seventeen
i got big dreams to fulfil ahead of me
[outro]
ah, yes indeed
anyone can become legendary
get to the point, skip the pleasantries
but i’ll give ya brownie points for your attempts to please
[part ii: summit drive]
[intro]
okay (okay)
alright (alright)
switch it up, switch it up
kick it up, kick it up a notch
what?
[verse]
some days i wake up just wanting to spit some facts on the mic
asking questions without expecting y’all to come back with replies
quietest in the room, but might actually be the happiest guy
i never get your jokes, but imma have the last laugh of the night
if there’s demand, that don’t mean that you have to supply
it just comes down to your beliefs and aspect on life
gotta master the how before you attempt to master the why
not every decision i make is one that is justified
i’d rather be dumb than say everything that comes to mind
gotta a lotta reservations which i hope that one mustn’t find
i find it hard to say things blunt like a b+tterknife
but what’s the fun in knowing the truth behind every other lie?
it feels like i’ve been here like a dozen times
dark clouds brewing in the grey, abundant sky
a brief flash of lightning gave me a sudden fright
my mouth moved but the sound delayed like when thunder strikes
downtown on a rainy, summer’s night
wipers full tilt, the milky whip’s engine comes to life
highly humid, eyes bright like the illuminant headlights
hope we somehow make it home, ooh my stomach’s tight
where am i heading in life, it’s a problem that’s underlying
got so many options, so many combinations, ways to customise
guess that might by why i feel like i’m living a double life
like a clean, neat, dress shirt, but one that’s b+ttoned tight
i keep a lot to myself and i always wonder why
quiet boy, never been one for the public life
which would you want, an exciting or productive life?
either way, you gotta be willing to take a sudden dive
opportunity always caught me by surprise like a rushing tide
but you gotta embrace it, like this greenery surrounding i
fallen sun, skyline in the distance, what a stunning sight
on the uphill climb walking through summit drive
[outro]
feliz season
nks back in the building
nks back in the city
nks have to relive it
(have to relive it)
