Be For:

There are two definitions to this EP, the first being literally being “for our time”. In the current era of musicians, like myself from London, people tend crave and look to the states for answers and are quick to criticise the music from our own home. Some may disagree – but I speak from experience. This EP is the project that demonstrates there is hope where we’re from and where I’ve come from and we should unite in that. We all have a story to tell. This project is about Truth, Love and Passion.

Before:

The second meaning of this project is its nostalgic presence. This being a story telling project, it is filled with reflecting on situations and life experiences. The whole theme sonically is driven by reminiscence; I wanted to bring the same feeling or something close to the feeling, you felt when Hip Hop was at its peak of greatness and what is said actually meant something. I was born in 1993, and with this project I wanted to give people that same feeling of when music and Hip Hop was appreciated and respected by the masses in the 90's, and bring that feeling back to my home city and the world.

BeFor Our Time, For The People.

BeFor Our Time

Polaroids

Beating Heart

[Verse]

Knife-edge thoughts, my mind sharp, scalpel slices,

Pen bleeds ink, drips pain in devices.

Crisp kicks hit ribs, beats cut the air thin,

Vinyl crackle whispers, ghost of where I’ve been.

Shadows on my wall playing tag with the moon,

Midnight’s a barber, trims dreams too soon.



[Chorus]

Cutting shadows, trimming lies,

Edge of truth where the sharp blade lies.

Cutting shadows, trimming lies,

Every scar a story that the soul won’t disguise.



[Verse 2]

Soul’s a samurai, slashing through the static,

Life’s a Rubik's Cube solved in manic patterns erratic.

Old tape hiss fights the hiss in my mind,

Blade on wax, I carve out time.

Echoes in the chamber, gunpowder soul,

Boom-bap heartbeat keeps the cosmos whole.



[Bridge]

Dust and fragments, they dance in the groove,

Truths in the cuts where the scissors move.

Piano keys weep under needle’s weight,

Each loop a chapter, every snare my fate.



[Chorus]

Cutting shadows, trimming lies,

Edge of truth where the sharp blade lies.

Cutting shadows, trimming lies,

Every scar a story that the soul won’t disguise.

Cutting Shadows

Thirteen tracks. Thirteen sermons from the concrete cathedral.

Written in aerosol, sampled from soul, and forged in struggle. From the bodega counter to the train yard, Graffiti Gospel is a testament to survival and the sacred art of saying something real. These are street scriptures passed down through boom bap. The prayers of prototypes and variants who never fit the mold. The eulogy of the last poet and the resurrection of what they tried to buff away.

Every tag is a prayer. Every bar is a brick in the temple. The city is the canvas. The message is eternal.

You can't erase us.

[CHORUS]
Everyone I don’t want keeps callin me
But I ain’t out here trusting these bodies  
If it ain’t my baby that’s callin me
Then I ain’t got no time for nobody
But they keep callin me

BRIDGE
(Life’s a whore, and it could suck a pumpkin threw a straw)
(Face come off, we bouta see how vulnerable you are) 
(When it’s hard, you be Checkin on yah phone like..., scroll scroll scroll)

[Verse 1]
Feeling amazing, somewhat impatient, gotta get paid 
I flip thru pages, Time isnt waiting and I’m only aging, edge of the cliff, I’m edumacated, only attempt to be mentioned with greatness, tempted by birds who escaped from their cages, only see me at the rarest occasion, if it ain’t for the bread or the fam I can’t make it
My girl with a king she courageous 
Like coretta 
From the ghetto 
She got that Heart from the heavens
But She Got that look from the devil
Dripping with fantasy 
Slip thru the melody
Melanin showed me true colors 
I say she Bad to the bone 
She want the dog ima let her 
Pet it, then drop like confetti 
 The levy is broke
And I drown in her ocean 
She went to mix the elixir 
I took a sip of The potion 
I lost control of the wheel 
But it’s driving itself like the model 3 Tesla 
Say what you want like Alexa 
She want a ride like the metra
I start applying the pressure because
I was told that is how you find gold, or a diamond if that’s any better 
You bound to find something, you digging a hole 
(You got me driving till my tank on e, you drive me crazy.
I'm on Zero zero zero zero)

CHORUS

[VERSE 2]

Inter the course 
Not a obstacle 
Aint too hard for me to tell you why I  love you 
You asked me you tried to test me 
You think you one step right in front of me 
Cause I got 2 left feet 
So I just trip over myself 
And upon my defeat
You just catch me then u bring right back to where I’m supposed to be 
And I love you for that 
Cause you love me for me 
And it ain’t all about that cutty (Cudi)
But the cutty is great 
Ain’t talkin Scott if you late 
Cause I’m up up and away 
And I Wanna rum pum pum on yo 
Bum bum 
Then rest my head on yah bosom 
Wanna get a whiff of your wisdom 
Wanna Rap to your heartbeat rhythm
Then wrap you up in licorice 
And count how many licks I get til I get to the center
You know my every incentive 
Enter the course of your mind 
Recalibrate then realign 
I double down in half the time 
I swear I never felt this alive 
But a little part of me dies when I look and it aint you on my line

[BRIDGE]
(Life’s a whore, and it could suck a pumpkin threw a straw)
(Face come off, we bouta see how vulnerable you are) 
(When it’s hard, you be checkin on the phone like..., scroll scroll scroll)
