Nothing nowhere ,One Takes

nothing,nowhere.

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for something or someone to save me from this
I can't act like I'm fine when I'm not anymore and it hurts
Sleep, wake, repeat
And I'm underneath
Reaching out for a hand 'cause the hurt makes it harder to be
Breathing out as I watch every season go by in complete
Sleep, wake, repeat
And I'm underneath

[Chorus]
So watch me break
I'm barely breathing
I'm wide awake
And you're still sleeping (Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
'Cause all this weight
I'm bruised and beaten
You watch me break
You're barely bleeding

[Verse 2]
Searching for a god or something that is bigger than me so I wait
Reaching up at the sky sending prayers that I know won't be met
Sleep, wake, repeat
And I'm underneath

[Chorus]
So watch me break
I'm barely breathing
I'm wide awake
And you're still sleeping (Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
'Cause all this weight
I'm bruised and beaten
You watch me break
You're barely bleeding

[Bridge]
And it's too late for you to save me
Your words cut like razor blades

[Chorus]
So watch me break
I'm barely breathing
I'm wide awake
And you're still sleeping (Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
'Cause all this weight
I'm bruised and beaten
You watch me break
You're barely bleeding

barely bleeding

From the opening line, "mark my words", Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard are making a statement with their second album, appropriately titled, Beast.  If you're not familiar with the RBHS sound it's a mixture of hardcore, dubstep, hiphop, and punk elements meant to get you off your ass and headed down a path of domination.  Fans of their previous EP, Battle Tested, will be happy to know that Beast picks up  right where the duo left off.  The Hustle Standard's production is still huge; Rob Bailey's voice is still larger-than-life; and the songs still make you want to run through walls.

Beast starts with the song "I Am Not Done" which features the Brooklyn-born artist Moxiie proclaiming "This is not last year and I am not done here".  The second song is also the title-track, "Beast", and quite simply, this one is a BEAST.  On "Run This" Charley Hustle (a.k.a The Hustle Standard) sings "I'm too busy chasing mine to let the world leave me behind/I'm going for mine", and on "What I Live For" Rob's hell-fire voice demands that you "Wake up!".  "Ambulances", a fun play on Rob's verse from "Run Shit", features the Bronx rapper, Drew Boogie.  The remix to "I Am Not Done" is an uptempo, electro remix that helps the album breathe before getting into the final remix.  "The Beast Remix" is not just a remix of the song "Beast", but of the whole album with elements of every song over heavy trap style production.  The final song, "Jealous", is undoubtedly the most unique of the 8 songs, and on first listen could be seen as a departure for the pair, but all of the intensity and honor, that make Rob Bailey & The Hustle Standard what they are, is front and center over this methodical, evolving track.  Overall, Beast, is a declaration that, despite any odds, people can not only overcome, but can become Beasts.


What I Live For

[Intro]
All the pieces of you fit perfectly in the hole inside my heart
And I'd be lying if I tried telling you that you're not everything I want

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I keep a picture of you in my pocket
And last night, I almost lost it
I used to think I should quit you
But I'm so addicted, it hurts
Remember the nights that we would stare at the lights by the train tracks
And you would always listen to Dashboard
That was the first time that I realized

[Chorus]
All the pieces of you fit perfectly in the hole inside my heart
And I'd be lying if I tried telling you that you're not everything I want
'Cause I tried running away
But I came right back today
Just hoping that you'd let me say, "I'm sorry"
'Cause all the pieces of you fit perfectly in the hole inside my heart
Inside my heart

[Verse 2]
I wasn't ready for this, looking in hindsight
It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight
And sometimes, I listen to your voicemails
Need something to fill the void
Remember the night we almost got in a fight in your driveway?
And you told me that you needed space
That was the last time that I realized

[Chorus]
All the pieces of you fit perfectly in the hole inside my heart
And I'd be lying if I tried telling you that you're not everything I want
'Cause I tried running away
But I came right back today
Just hoping that you'd let me say, "I'm sorry" (Sorry)
'Cause all the pieces of you fit perfectly in the hole inside my heart
Inside my heart
(Inside my, inside my, inside my heart)

[Outro]
Remember the nights that we would stare at the lights by the train tracks
And you would always listen to Dashboard
That was the first time that I realized (Realized)
All the pieces of you fit perfectly in the hole inside my heart

pieces of you

voka

yeah im fading
into the ocean
just waiting for my death bed
complicating
any emotion
just feel like no one knows me :( 

barren

birds eye view 
of a man staring back
picture frame take ya
20 years past 
known intuition 
1 year in your lap
raised me 
to take none
and give what you get 
chanting there’s not 
enough time left 
can’t snap back 
to the right mindset 
going to sleep
at 6 in the morning
light coming 
rain is still pouring
eyes open
to the sunset 
soul trying to 
out run me

go away 
as far as can be 
gunning the streets 
shout from the tops of trees 
it’s all gonna end 
so be where u need

yesterday

i know that nothing will last
give me some time, i been coped with the past
i cannot take it all back
love aint a feeling
its bout how you act
couldnt've put in the work that you needed
i cannot sleep without bleedin
keep me at bay or the storm wont subside
its rainin, its pourin
lets go for a drive
75 down memory lane
im gettin high to numb all the pain
forget your smile, forget my name
its been a while and shit aint the same
been too busy disassociating
daylights fading
in the shadows fate is waitin for us

having to relearn the things
that i used to know so well
tell me what you wanna hear
if i speak my heart too loud
in the depths of the ocean
i lye resting peacefully

dont you stop and ever think about how things used to be? 
[i do all the time]

Follow me <3

no one knows me (w/ voka & barren) [prod. voka x yesterday]

nightmare (misogi remix)

[Intro]
Paint my world a new grey
Pain comes in different shades
Slowly rot and decay
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights on me like I'm shooting a movie scene
And I be going hard but you still got a hold on me
And nights like these take it back, it was you and me
But I can't understand

[Chorus]
Everything you ever told me
Lie to my face on the daily
I'ma go my own way
And I don't give a fuck if you hate me
Everything you told me
Lie to my face on the daily
I'ma go my own way
And I don't give a fuck if you hate me

[Verse]
Yeah, time to coordinate every chase that I had with you (Yeah)
Every day, I spent all my time that I had on you (Yeah)
Had to drag you underground just so you could see my everyday view (Yeah)
Life getting hard, I'm just trynna make it all the way through

[Pre-Chorus]
Lights on me like I'm shooting a movie scene
And I be going hard but you still got a hold on me
And nights like these take it back, it was you and me
But I can't understand

[Chorus]
Everything you ever told me
Lie to my face on the daily
I'ma go my own way
And I don't give a fuck if you hate me
Everything you told me
Lie to my face on the daily
I'ma go my own way
And I don't give a fuck if you hate me

Nothing,nowhere. - Giles Corey (unreleasedupdate)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I can be a burden, baby, I can be a psycho
They called me a mistake and wrote me off like a typo
And life just keeps on hitting me, I swear that I'ma fight though
So hit me with your best shot, staring down the rifle
I been looking back, riding on my motorcycle
I remember nights when I was feeling suicidal
I was falling out, boy, dead on arrival
Couldn't see the signs, I was living in denial, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on the edge
You're in my head, so

[Chorus]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Verse 2]
I guess that what I'm saying is
I'm scared of going back
I remember every struggle, every panic attack
You saw the life inside my eyes fade away over time
I couldn't pick up a guitar
I couldn't think of a rhyme
I needed something to believe in
Somewhere that I could hide
They told me I should stop pretending
Always kept it inside
And I was hoping these emotions were a lack of serotonin
Never thought that my own brain could ever turn to an opponent

[Chorus]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Bridge]
Play pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend
Pretend, pretend, pretend, pretend
Are you okay, tell me, are you okay?
Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown
Are you okay, tell me, are you okay?

[Chorus]
Tell me you need me
Even when you don't
I don't know when this will end (This will end, this will end)
Tell me you'll stay now
Even if you won't
Baby, we can play pretend (Play pretend, play pretend)

[Outro]
Are you okay, tell me, are you okay?
Nothing to say now, waiting for the breakdown
Are you okay, tell me, are you okay?
Baby, we can play pretend

pretend

[Verse 1: nothing,nowhere.]
Razors on the dashboard
Sneaking in the backdoor
Don't wanna, but I can't stop
Maybe I will when I get caught, yeah
Blood on the seats now
Speeding, going downtown
Now I'm on the TV
And I want you to see me

[Pre-Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
I know I need to stop (I know I need to stop)

[Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
But I cannot 'cause, baby, you're my drug
And now I'm stuck, now I've got your blood on my hands
Blood on my hands
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
But I cannot 'cause, baby, you're my drug
And now I'm stuck, now I've got your blood on my hands
Blood on my hands

[Bridge: nothing,nowhere.]
(Now I've got your blood on my hands)
(Blood on my hands)
(Now I've got your blood on my hands)
(Blood on my hands)

[Verse 2: KennyHoopla]
See the city at night, licking your lips
Know exactly what you want, just how you wanna get it
I was staring in this mirror since the clock hit ten
Loose lips sink ships, so your smile locked in
This is something you can't sleep off
My love was with a Molotov
Pierce my skin, prove I'm not gone
I know we all somewhere

[Pre-Chorus: nothing,nowhere. & KennyHoopla]
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
I know I need to stop (This is something you can't sleep off)

[Chorus: nothing,nowhere.]
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
But I cannot 'cause, baby, you're my drug
And now I'm stuck, now I've got your blood on my hands
Blood on my hands
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
But I cannot 'cause, baby, you're my drug
And now I'm stuck, now I've got your blood on my hands
Blood on my hands

[Outro: nothing,nowhere.]
I know, I know, I know I need to stop
But I cannot 'cause, baby, you're my drug
And now I'm stuck, now I've got your blood on my hands
Blood on my hands
