Neva Blink

[Verse 1:] In the morning I wipe the sleep from my eye/ Takes a second to clear my head,(Why?) 'cos I always dream of people who've died/ I don't shake the feeling, I keep it inside, thats how I keep them alive/ I let it feed me and breathe through my rhymes/ Realism keeps telling me/ That I was meant to walk alone, from the day I was born to the day they bury me/ But realisms my remedy/ So I smile, rub sunshine on my face and look to the day ahead of me/ I started life as a star in the sky/ From a spark in my father's eye and I'll shine till the afterlife/ So many questions still unanswered in life/ And each is answered with why/ Why he departed at the darkest of times?/ Wait a minute, I only been awake for a minute/ And maybe this is all a dream, one day I'll wake in a clinic/ Wouldn't surprise me, life is like a fake little gimmick/ People go from being your friends to being faces who visit/ Remember when we were younger together we held the spot down?/ You grew onwards and upwards, you no longer on the block now/ I'd never be mad at your progress/ But it's kind of like I'm still in the grimy side of life and you don't even notice/ Maybe I'm getting too deep, getting caught in emotions/ It's just the Persian blood in me, I came from over the oceans/ True believer in unity, I am my brothers keeper/ Whether they drug dealers, thieves or underachievers/ Where you see drugs, street thugs and robberies/ I see a bunch of children the system couldn't teach properly/ It's all about pespective, you need to learn to see properly/ Before accusing kids of not learning to speak properly/ My lifes been an attempt to gain wisdom/ So I've been patient and listened/ From words of ancients to my mates that are in prison/ Certain people will read a page of Religion/ Misunderstand it, then do the Devil's work and claim they maintaining tradition/ They failed to listen to the instinct that's in them/ Ended up sinning, and they got the nerve to tell me that I'm fake 'cos I'm spitting/ I refuse to play the game I was given/ I chose a way that was different/ And thats reflected in the way that I'm living/ From tower block to council estate, council estate to prison/ Accumalated some strange ways of thinking/ I figure, I'm a secret unto myself, the obvious is for others/ So when I think of Heaven I don't look to the stars above us/ I do this for missing sisters, fathers, mothers and brothers/ And all the others amongst us who lost somone who loved us/ I know I said some raw things on 'Warning'/ But I'm not sure if I meant them, understand it's all part of my mourning/ Fam, I got a lot on my mind/ I hit the block and stay high, eyes of a snake I never blink, never cry/ [Hook:] I hit the block high, got a lot on my mind/ Got the eyes of a snake, I never blink never cry/ I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme/ These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes/ Hit the block high, make the song cry, I/ Got the eyes of a snake, never blink, never cry/ I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme/ These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes/ [Verse 2:] Lately I wake from sleep in the night/ Lady by my side like baby try get back to sleep it's alright/ But lately I find I'm sleepless at nights/ I get this feeling inside/ 'Cos in my dreams I speak with people who've died/ And theres answers to certain secrets that lie/ Forever buried under the ground, it's too deep to percieve with your eyes/ That why I learnt to see with my mind/ Opened my third eye and read the signs in life I frequently find/ Maybe I went too deep with this rhyme/ But I'm just speaking my mind/ Ain't feeling the vibe, you need to rewind/ I represent street philosophers who aim to defeat the obvious/ Really it's not a lyric but more like a stream of conciousness/ Living off instinct, that's a thing they don't teach in colleges/ Situations in life make you see just how deep your knowledge is/ I emmanate peace from my aura/ Same time I know the street, so I also keep a piece and a bourer/ Thinking when did it come to this? Has it come to this/ Younger kids, playing with guns and clips/ Maybe the High Grade makes me think too much/ Or maybe the rest of the world simply ain't thinking enough/ Fam, I got a lot on my mind/ I hit the block n stay high/ Eyes of a snake, I never blink, never cry/ [Hook:] I hit the block high, got a lot on my mind/ Got the eyes of a snake, I never blink never cry/ I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme/ These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes/ Hit the block high, make the song cry, I/ Got the eyes of a snake, never blink, never cry/ I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme/ These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes/ LYRICS: REVEAL 2011
