FRESH ON THE NET 542 - MY FAVS

Lyrics:

does she love me 
or does she not
and would she dub me 
or is it locked
pulled out the bubbly 
and maybe the ciroc
then she let her hair down
and she told the kid a lot

does she love me 
or does she not
and would she dub me 
or is it locked
pulled out the bubbly 
and maybe the ciroc
then she let her hair down
and she told the kid a lot

she was screamin at me 
be my daddy be my brother
field's kinda wicked
fuck a lick im seekin cover
dont get it twisted
why the fuck you need a rubber
still she conflicted 
dropped the dick to seek another

next day blunt smoker mean mugger
straight backs jean jacket deep cover
squad deep big racket big stunter
locked eyes with her 
now she lookin like a runner 
what the fuck is that?

I was only thinkin of running it back
even if its just a chat and a blunt on the ave
thought you had the vibe I was wantin to have
and sink deep in
coolin on the weekends 
cruisin down the block and playin tunes while cheifin
cuter when I watch she tryna stunt while teasin
suited like barack i had to front no feelins
saw her smile and my guard start to weaken

does she love me 
or does she not
and would she dub me 
or is it locked
pulled out the bubbly 
and maybe the ciroc
then I let my guard down
and I told the girl a lot 

does she love me 
or does she not
and would she dub me 
or is it locked
pulled out the bubbly 
and maybe the ciroc
then I let my guard down
and I told the girl a lot 

I was tryna ask her
do you hear me 
and can you see me 
If I said I wanna be with you would you believe me 
would you stick with me when Im ashy and im peezy
could you chill wit me when im tryba take it easy
I wanna know

and go ahead and play Joe cuz im gettin bold
here you go its just a hand to hold bae its gettin cold
knew you wasnt made from the regular mold 
and what you gettin in return is better than gold

might as well get while the gettin is owed 
if you say its nothin then its nothin I'll get on the road
niggas screamin skip the damn cuffin we gettin paroled
whats the point in all the damn fluff all im gettin is hoed

does she love me 
or does she not
and would she dub me 
or is it locked
pulled out the bubbly 
and maybe the ciroc
then my phone start buzzin 
she said open up the lock 

does she love me 
or does she not
and would she dub me 
or is it locked
pulled out the bubbly 
and maybe the ciroc
then my phone start buzzin 
she said open up the lock

Does She Not

'Don’t Let Me Love Alone' is a moment of choosing and accepting to be loved. A self-reflection on the fear of losing yourself to love. Warm autumnal acoustics, hypnotic guitar swirls and soothing vocal harmonies, all reinforce Sophie’s tender delivery moving between resistance and hope.

While You Preside

Hold Me

Lost In Time

Never Know Why (feat. Vesper Stockwell)

She grinned like riddles stitched in lace,
A marionette with porcelain face.
She flickered past — a flash, a blur,
I blinked, and I was chasing her.

“Don’t trust people who forget your name”
— yeah! that’s what my dog says.

We danced through traps disguised as truth,
She lied in Latin, I played sleuth.
She disappeared with flair and smoke,
Left me a leash, a laugh, a joke.

“Don’t trust praise, it eats your days”
— yeah! that’s what my dog always says.

I’m out of phase, she’s pure pretense,
She whispers nonsense that makes sense.
We lost the map, but kept charade—
She’s ghost, she’s grin, she’s masquerade.

She sang to stars with broken lungs,
Stole lullabies from serpent tongues.
I hear her steps in creaking wood,
She vanished right where no one could.

“Don’t chase shadows, they want praise”
— yeah! 
that’s what my dog says!

I lit the fuse, she changed the spark,
We kissed goodbye in Central Park.
rise, combust, return, delay—
Still strangers on the same ballet.

I’m out of phase, she’s out of time,
A riddle cursed to almost rhyme.
We lost thread, but not the blaze
She haunts me in peculiar ways.

“She was never really yours anyway”
— yeah! that’s what 
my dog 
says.

That’s what my dog always says

The World Inside

Are you Ready?! Yes we are! Join the struggle with 91 Dominos and be a part of something great! We All Are Dominos is the scream of a lost generation ready to fall. We want to be heard, we want to make noise, we want to live!

We All Are Dominos

Lockdown is a fast-paced instrumental metal track, written during the second COVID lockdown. No rehearsals, no band – just isolation and the urge to let something out. A mix of driving riffs, double bass, and melancholic lead guitars captures exactly that mood.

Lockdown

Ever wondered what happens when a light-fingered bloodthirsty bone-splitter meets an octogenarian dominatrix raised in the East London underground bareknuckle boxing scene?

Wonder no longer. 

Featuring the sometimes charming and often confusing Henry Wilson on raps. 

This track is available on Itunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other purveyors of fine dank tunes.
