I was inspired to write this as a response to the music industry treatment of Lola Young and the pressure to achieve. It happens to so many artists, but this particularly bothered me and something needs to change. It's a tough world out there and we aren't equipped to deal with it properly.

LYRICS

Suddenly
You’re surrounded by the things you dreamed
Waking up
Waking up to something new
Who would’ve known
That all this could be possible
Lack of sleep
Worried it might fall apart

Breaking up
With yourself
Cos you’ve just had enough
Walking away
Why don’t you just turn around
People gaze
But they don’t understand your problems
Lack of sleep
Worried you might fall apart

And I wanna close my mind off to it
I don’t wanna think
You wanna show why I can’t do it
Love is on the brink
Lies are the only way now through it
Truth is it all stinks
Settle down you’re almost there

Breaking up
With yourself
Cos you’ve just had enough
Walking away
Why don’t you just turn around
People gaze
But they don’t understand your problems
Lack of sleep
Worried you might fall apart

And I wanna close my mind off to it
I don’t wanna think
You wanna show why I can’t do it
Love is on the brink
Lies are the only way now through it
Truth is it all stinks
Settle down you’re almost there

Are you in
Or are you out?

Bodyguards (Ashworth Haus Audio Live Session)

After returning from a hiatus, UniverSouLove - over a Metz Music beat - is making rappers run that mic! The beat bangs and the flow rocks and rocks! B-girl and B-boy hip-hop music! 

Run That Mic!

An alternative take on Christmas away from the traditional pop classics and into the darker corners of that time of year, where some people struggle and suffer.

The Man In Red

UniverSouLove returns with this banger showcasing his lyrical abilities over a Nationa Parx instrumental. Verbal, lyrical, magical!
