BECOMING LUNATIC (E-LYRIC BOOK)
©copyright 2011 MYBAND MUSIC
Hurting - Grass /Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Rap- MINUS13
Never thought we would get this far,6 years ago me and time at the bar,1 year later we were lunatics, Helstrip made lyrics blew the mic apart,3 years past pulled the joker card, Rise and fall we was coming through hard,2 years ago we found that final spark ,And hooked up with a Californian super star.
Rap-TIME
Everybody said we were worlds apart, There was never any way we were gonna last, You only get one so we took the chance, An official Lunatic this was the start, Through all the stresses through all the strain, All five together live when it rains, We had the presents we had the skill, It was a long way down from the top of that hill
Rap- HELSTRIP
Take ya way back to that very first morning, Verbal warning was the track I was born in, Never knew it, then but id found my calling, One turned to five new sounds were forming, For everything a reason believed in the freedom, To write what we like guess the hype had a meaning, Took a while now but were coming through quick, Now’s the time becoming lunatic
I’m a Lunatic Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Lululululunatic, Throw your L’s in the air luna-tic,tic,tic, I’m about to blow the fluid over flows can’t hold me within asylum walls.
Rap- MINUS13
Born bred living it, Though my mouth spitting it, what’s the definition of a real f***ing Lunatic, Getting pissed, getting blitzed, No time to reminisce, Remember it’s the reason I’m prestige and your still new to this, Guaranteed to never miss, my sights aim high, Don’t need a G6, coz I’m already fly, No extra hand luggage, just carry what I can manage, And anything I can’t handle I’ll take on as a new challenge, And I carry on regardless, Just tell me what the harm is, Trying to harness some funds, to get this music thing started, But what seems to be the hardest, Is trying to keep the calmest, Some people wanna see ya bleed n feed on your carcass, That move wasn’t the smartest decision you ever made, Get previsions board yourself in and prepare for the raid, Your bark is over-rated, my bites worse than the plague, I get twitchy on that button and just level the place
Rap- HELSTRIP
Chasing status, stating cases, to theses f***ing haters faces No mirage and no oasis, moving on we’re making spaces, Tighten laces time to chase us, moving up to greater places Fakers, haters, makers, takers, many try but never break us Imitator’s only make us, rise above and elevate us F***ing traitors try to slate us jealous that are fate awaits us Feeble phrases never praises put us don but only raise us Always cages doors and mazes sent to stop us storming stages Morning rages falling wages boiling up with soaring gauges Try to fade us can’t erase us try to put us through are paces, Thoughts and phrases scrawling pages, any style always catered Can’t embrace us, so they make us run around like f***ing races, Why the f**k do I need to spit for you to see I breathe this shit Simple and plain the fact remains, I love this click it’s in my veins Lunatic fluids, the way I roll it’ll be that way ‘till I’m grey and old And so behold my futures told lunatic and I say it bold
Rap- TIME
All these schizophrenic tendencies, Are eating up my memories, The game is like the anti Christ, I swear it’ll be the death of me , The fluid has the recipe, For bringing out the best in me, This mic in my hand is like nuclear powered weaponry, Blowing up the industry, But that’s nothing new to me I wait take my time, Then I seize the opportunity, So there’s no defeating, I’m rewriting history, Never tell a story, Only speak about reality, You chat about your vanity, And other insecurities, But what I hear I never see, Around in my community, It tickles and amuses me, so I call it truancy, Coz you’ve missed the point , It’s like I’m on another frequency, You heard but you don’t hear me, So let me spit it clearly, The year of a lunatic, You know you better fear me, Two things I’m holding dearly, Music and my family, So go and take a seat, Because I know that you can’t stand me
Blacksong - Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Oh blacksong in the back of my head, Got me twisted by the things you said, All riled up and out for dead! Yeah! Some folks say that I don’t care, but they don’t know me from anywhere, they judge to hard and that’s not fair! Yeah. And it’s a long way down from the top of this hill, It’s a long way down, It’s a long way down from the top of this hill, It’s a long way down, And they pushed me over the edge. And they pushed me over the edge my god I’m falling down! Ohhhh And it’s a long way down from the top of this hill, It’s a long way down, It’s a long way down from the top of this hill, It’s a long way down, And they pushed me over the edge .And they pushed me over the edge My god I’m falling down! Ohhhh
Rap- TIME People push me pull me feels like I’m being drawn all these scars on my heart tired of it being torn Being stripped of myself All emotions and my health gotta make it into heaven Coz my life’s living hell people think they know me But don’t know the half You’d need a thousand pairs of shoes Just to walk my past I’ve had so many second chances feel like it’s my last It’s like an hour’s worth of sand being trapped in a glass Time is ticking away on my dreams to fulfil And it’s a long way down From the top of this hill So I’m all riled up And I’m out for dead I’m gonna make you regret All the things that you said
TIME & SHAVON - RAP
This blacksong plays in the back of my head And it’s the fuel to the fire For all this shit I’ve been fed So you can save what you’re saying Till they lay me to rest Cos when that day comes trust I really couldn’t care less
SHAVON & JOKER
Oh Blacksong in the back of my head, everything’s hazy by the words you bled, And all this shit that I been fed! Yeah. I’m ready to change I’m ready to fight, For the things I believe what I want in my life, I’m screaming this song on the cliff in the night! Yeah. And it’s a long way down from the top of this hill, it’s a long way down, it’s a long way down from the top of this hill, it’s a long way down. And they pushed me over the edge . Alright we’re done....
No Strings - Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Rap- MINUS13
Try and tie me down, wrap that rope around, You can’t keep me bound, my lungs erupt break free from the grip of your clutch, It won’t take me much, to eventually reach my destiny, the pinnacle of my dreams, everything I believe, guaranteed to always succeed, my limitations exceed, smell victory, through the air that breathe, cos the end has no means, my slate was clean at the start, I cut the strings, I hit the ground I pull myself right back up
Chorus- SHAVON & JOKER
I got no strings to hold me down I got no strings on me, temptation stings its venom lies, controlling agony ,denial whispers in my ear, don’t fear my sympathy, I got no strings to hold me down I got no strings on me. You can’t pull me around, around, around; you can’t pull me around, around, around
Rap-HELSTRIP
Ain't no strings attaching me, To a god damn thing its amnesty, It’s a fact I’m free can’t shackle me, They slip right off like an amputee, Try bind my hand try cuffing me ,You’ll never ever take my custody, See puppetry ain't my cup of tea, I control myself through my subtlety, No sticks in my back no strings on my hands, No jumping up and down till I’m hanging by strands, Withstand remand and meet no demands, Just live it how I like it where my life ain't planned, A thousand bouncers can’t hold me down , Can’t stop me evading this lonely town, I’m on the rise you can’t bring me back, Just living my life no strings attached
SHAVON & JOKER
I got no strings to hold me down I got no strings on me, There ain't no strength that can pull me around, I’m strong and my heart is free, The stars are moving all around I choose my destiny, I got no strings to hold me down I got no strings on me. You can’t pull me around, around, around; you can’t pull me around, around, around
Rap-TIME
Don’t know about you only know about me, Cut my ties now I’m finally free, Can’t hold me down won’t pull me back, I choose my life and my destiny, Agonies run its course on me, Never give up I still believe, Give it all I’ve got I’m never gonna stop, gonna hit rock bottom till I reach the top, Like that leopard can’t change my spots, Music and my word is all I’ve got, Hide my feelings I try concealing them, Cherish them like the air I’m breathing, People I meet are so misleading, Try misguide act so deceiving, Won’t get me though no defeating, I’m a real boy no strings your seeing
I got no strings to hold me down I got no strings on me, temptation stings its venom lies, controlling agony ,denial whispers in my ear, don’t fear my sympathy, I got no strings to hold me down I got no strings on me. You can’t pull me around, around, around, You can’t pull me around, around, around
Craziness - Grass / Thompson
I’m back for another beginning I can feel the change within,the path originally chosen doesn’t match with who I am, Internal beast you are growing and these bars won’t hold me down,prepare yourself for my freedom, liberated off the sound, by following the craziness, by following the craziness
by following the craziness, won't you come around, or you'll be haunted by the sound
I'D BE WILLING TO DIE FOR THE FREEDOMS RIGHT, OF A CRAZY HEART AND A CRAZY LIFE
There’s light at the end of the tunnel and the creature calls me in,the song in my head that is playing pushes waves beneath my skin, the warriors heart is unveiling and these mountains turn to sand,
I’m throwing paint on the canvas cause I realized I can, by following the craziness, by following the craziness, by following the craziness, won't you come around, or you'll be haunted by the sound
I'D BE WILLING TO DIE FOR THE FREEDOMS RIGHT OF A CRAZY HEART AND A CRAZY LIFE
Cold Hearted - Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Rap-TIME
Yo I live it I love it I place nothing above it Give me the mic and I run it I really love this sound If you want it I’ll bring it Give me the mic and I’ll kill it Every time I put pen to paper My heart I just spill it you can feel it or not It’s really no matter to me I just give it how I live it Though the M.I.C Sick of having pipe dreams Chasing Mickey Mouse schemes Really hate what Rappers do Just for the rise of their team Might rap about my struggles Getting pissed or the green But I would never rap about shit I ain’t done ,got or seen Cos there’s no way that’s me No not the T.I.M.E The M.1.3 the H.E.L.S.T.R.I.P Are always keeping it real Can’t match the level of skill That we’re bringing to the table Man we do this for real So if you ask me the question The only answer I’ll give I ain’t in it for the spot light Man I’m in it for quid's
Chorus-JOKER
Keep talking cos I’m yawning your running your mouth n I’m walking from the morning till evening I’m leaving you with this warning I’m leaving you cold I’m so cold bottle it up I’m going to explode cos the place I’m coming from is the darkest don’t get me started I’m cold hearted
Rap- HELSTRIP
One problem I ain’t facing is lack of motivation See I keep my concentration through the deepest complications No G.C.S.E's, street qualifications Singing we don’t need no education When theses streets have you facing, deceitful situations A little contemplation can help with what ya facing All of the above is a winning compilation Just gotta make a choice and keep ya heart in what it’s placed in A cold hearted artist when I flow against the grain I know you like to say but you know it ain’t the same Don’t complain I maintain I ain’t taking the blame See you choose to snooze you lose so I’m taking ya game I ain’t making a claim it’s me taking my aim So please form a little line like I’m raking my cane About to roll up this note I’m coming straight to ya brain You can’t do it like I do it, man it’s simple and plain
Rap- MINUS13
I heard you were starving so how’s this for starters I’m so cold I make the arctic feel like the Bahamas I’m an artist that’s heartless cos my past was disastrous so now I’m putting the crisis back into your dramas cos I’ve been around the planet picked up to many habits from smoking and drinking to taking war faring tablets call me the king of the addicts it ain’t tragic I planned it and now I’ve landed grab a mic and precede to cause damage dam I feel famished lifestyle far from lavish a 5 knuckle sandwich is the weapon I brandish skipping through this life my attitudes so candied and my styles so unique even Russell couldn’t brand it I’m sitting back relaxed mate and you can’t stand it drum hits with some synths now you’re talking my language muster up a comeback if you think you can manage I’m cold hearted I’ve departed and I’m leaving you stranded
Shot me down - Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
JOKER & SHAVON
I keep on staring at spirits now I’m over my limit, from your lips to the bottle lid you shot me down, it keeps on coming in rounds i run this tap to the ground, you made it clear and so loud, you shot me down, My mind is feeling this anger out, I’m drowning your image, from your lips to the bottle lid, You shot me down, my fingers move with regret my mind is set to forget, I won’t remember you now, You shot me down
Rap-TIME
From the first time I saw ya the way my eye caught ya thought you was an angel girl Which made me adore ya, said you had two daughters But that didn’t faze me, all I ever wanted was for you to be my lady One day have my baby Mates said I was crazy They told me not to do it Said your only gonna change me But I wasn’t listening I really couldn’t care I thought I didn’t need them Just as long as you was there Was the apple of my eye The centre of my earth But you treat me like shit Rubbed my face in the dirt Had me walking round Feeling like I had no worth Took the best part of me For I even seen its birth And that I won’t forgive you Never will forgive you Cried so many tears Ran the fashion outta tissue Didn’t want to dis you Nights I still miss you, you know you shot me down So it’s time I forget you
( JOKER & SHAVON)
Rap- MINUS13
Sticking together, through any weather, thick or thin, all the things, we’ve seen done bin, friends we’ve had laughs with all the dramas in the past got through it and lasted then blast it things switch turn ugly n nasty
Rap-HELSTRIP
Still remember that night we had that fight you threw that wine glass Shards of glass they passed fast scarring my past Only asked for a blast at making my hearts last Now I’m fighting to enlighten the dark from hard parts
Rap- MINUS13
From a draft to a hurricane, another fight, more strain, harsh talk, back and forth , ain’t prepared to take the blame, It’s a shame watching what we had washing down the drain, thinking about what kind of life we could of made
Rap-HELSTRIP
I thought you was the one to raise my daughter or my son Now ya soaring for the door keep recalling all we've done I really thought you had me but I guess you’ve got me now Slowly falling to my knees can’t believe ya shot me down
Canvas of Waves - Grass
Confused between the logic and the feeling, I’m struggling on the steep side of the hill,
what am I??? oh what am I doing...? and what have I??? what have I become...?
cause I’m a canvas of waves, making my way through the colourful lies that brighten this game, and I can feel in my heart all the things that you say, but I don’t want to draw lines, there’s freedom inside the pain. Can I be made clean, recycled new, is that even something... oh that I wanna do.
what is truth? and where can it be found? when my eye are closed oh I cannot feel the ground,
cause I’m a canvas of waves, making my way through the colourful lies that brighten this game and I can feel in my heart all the things that you say, but I don’t want to draw lines, there’s freedom inside the pain.
End of the hook - Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
JOKER
My life ain’t looking to good more chapters to read than a story book come take a peep come take a look trade places with you in a second I would misunderstood I try and be good get away from all my problems if I could nothing I gained everything I took I’m just swinging at the end of a hook
Rap- HELSTRIP
My life is like a tight rope, I’m losing my balance and my defiance to fall, is using all of my talents inhibitions have me wishing ,envisioning my ambition though it’s all to no avail, just tales of my rendition setting sale for collision, pale from my attrition ,in a big ball of shit, same shit they call living sifting in the bottom of pockets it ain’t given even pissing in the pot has stopped, the pots missing days seem the same, same strain and the stress see the same complications ,same pain in my chest no dreams aspirations screened by limitations, wall to wall woes no means of innovation, the nation’s demonstration of patience is warring thin seeing dire situations, violations and sins, allow me to explain the frustration I’m in, I’m on the end of the hook, take a look as it swings
Rap- TIME
You wanna take a shot at my life then go ahead I shall say this only once though buyer beware it’s like I’m wrapped up in a python and its squeezing the air right outta my lungs so you better prepare we’re going straight down the rabbit hole welcome to my world there is no point running it goes round in circles I’ve done it all my life and it’s getting me nowhere stuck on elm street reliving a nightmare sick of always stressing money second guessing I’ve hit an all time low my life is in recession, must relieve the tension, wish I was inception, I would flip it upside down, try and change the complexion, smiles on my face , while I’m holding back depression, never left school, every days a life lesson, forget about the minutes ,start living for the seconds if I can’t do that then its g8 section
Rap-MINUS13
On the outside looking in where I’ve always bin I wish I could start from the beginning again hung out to dry swinging from side to side it’s a bumpy ride trying to decipher the life of mike just try to do right well as much as I could but the bad has a way of overlooking the good until you’re stuck in the nook with nobody to push nobody grants you a second chance a glance a look drastic times call for drastic measures debt collectors keep on sending me letters so now I’m out trying to hustle for cheddar will it ever get better or return for the worst I was never blessed check Aphrodite’s curse situation reversed you’ll relate to this verse first place is a place they said I never deserve to who it concerns I’m flipping the ? To loud to be silenced so let it be heard
Everything a reason - Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Rap- MINUS13
Walking round eyes closed sleep walking round the globe like a ghost lost hope separated from my host trying to rule the world from the centre of my thick head in bed lying there notching up my bed posts everything is said and done but never done what i said try and put the point across i crossed the point and saw red light it up and let it burn skipped a lesson still learn for everything a reason but the reason still remains blurred
SHAVON HELSTRIP
She takes the stars from the drawer, Believing in these demons screaming through her breathing feeling poor she folds the paper in four, Shedding tears for all these years for all the cares she’s feared before he sits in silence below, All alone with these homely woes where this frozen zone is all he knows one day the hand will let go Broken homes and hollow bottles sorrows where tomorrow goes
Chorus- SHAVON
Cover me up! Is it so damn hard, I need a spark (spark) to light (to light) the way when you say we love, you see me here and you know I’m crying and you choose to walk away, and we say for everything a reason and we say for everything a reason ohhhohhhh
Rap-TIME
Feeling cold all alone In the night when I roam I can see her face in front of me When my eyes close Haven’t got the words to say No I won’t pick up the phone Plus I’ve heard it all before, gotta do it on my own, Only I can see my dreams All my fears and my nightmares when I really need you Surprise you are nowhere So I swear now I don’t care I can’t take it Spend your life finding love In a second you break it
SHAVON HELSTRIP
He lies alone in his bed, Is he afraid by a past been made by blades in the dark now his hearts been bled thoughts of her face in his head, Could it be love that has drained the blood could a hug be enough for the life she’s led she thinks he'll answers her call, Her cries inside are getting hard to hide she shares her cares on deaf ears they fall but he's blowing smoke on the wall Round and round it’s the same old sound she cries aloud he’s too proud to bawl
This life is hard to figure, it’s all smoke n mirror’s, It ain’t all for nothing, Turned a twist of fate into something, Bought back, more than I bargained, Cos my aims always slightly off target, But now my vision is clear, No longer living in fear
Man insane - Grass / Thompson
I never waved goodbye to you either way, it was no choice of mine to your angry pain,
and I have half a mind to harbour hate, It’s just a pass through time and a glimpse of fate.
I never cared about your pockets it’s your heart that’s vain, I ain’t playing with your mind your a man insane. I ain’t waiting by the phone for the words that you say, there'd be no holding me down boy anyway, and I have half a mind to play your game! Yeah, It’s just a pass through time on the road to fame, I never cared about your pockets it’s your heart that’s vain,I ain’t playing with your mind your a man insane. I ain’t doubting your vision it’s your fear that’s plain! yeahhhh...
When it rains - Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Rap- MINUS13
Like I told ya in the past I’m a whole world apart, am I destined to be dammed or was I cursed from the start, but I’ve still got the heart, to light it up in the dark, just a spark is enough to wipe it all off the chart, cos nobody paved the way for me for anything I’ve gained crack a smile when the heavens open up and rain see my lyrics are the link every letter makes a chain but even words get misheard and they never sound the same walking down the corridor fighting off the onslaught find yourself a shelter cos there’s gonna be a storm I dealt with the drizzle now I’m dealing with the downpour lunatic the fluid is the only thing I fiend for my outlook ain’t the brightest that’s why I’m called the minus not sure what the cause was to even make me like this once was the quietest now I’m just the tightest soon to be Suffolk’s finest
Chorus- SHAVON & JOKER
Isn’t it strange I never used to feel this way each dawn had a brighter day I lit the light in the night and prayed what the hell was it that I craved was it pain or to make a change feel the rage flowing through my veins see my dreams running down the drain yeah when it rains
Rap- TIME
So it’s back to the start again No feeling in my heart again Lying all alone on my own In the dark again My mind begins to race No expression on my face Cos my head is always banging Like the beats and the bass I get up and start to pace As I overload with rage Frustrated like a lion that’s been locked inside a cage See I’ve gotta soldier on Got to make it round the turn Even though I’ve got no energy My wicks already burnt Never used to feel this way So it’s time to make a change Cos I’m fending like an addict There is something that I crave All I want to be is king Cos I’m tired of being a pawn And they say the knight is always darkest Just before the dawn But its driving me insane All I ever see is rain So before I get a chance to dream There washing down the drain Now I’ve finally found the remedy To take the pain away And that’s Lunatic Fluid yeah until my dying day
Rap- HELSTRIP
Spending all my night time running from my day time It’s hard to start a fire when it raining cats and k 9s Future seems bright yeh but only if the sunshine’s Way beyond the joke but can’t figure out the punch line Waiting to explain how I grew to have this brain Paranoia schizophrenia delusional insane Constantly complain every day's just the same Everything I’ve ever craved slowly floating down the drain Losing focus of my aim rain soaking in my veins Slowly drowning aspiration like a hose to my flames Although it seems strange so much rage is in my rage My pen could burn a hole through the fibres in the page Running from my lies wonder when they’ll realise Everything I’ve ever felts written deep within my rhymes How many more time will have to write lines Metaphors for my down pour tears in my eyes
World Apartm - Grass / Thompson / Simms / Murrel / Helstrip
Shavon & joker
I landed in the shade the day my life was made, a child made hardened hand, lost in the foreign land. And I can feel you roaming through the aisles of, of a lonely heart, and I can see this pattern in disguise but I’m a world apart...
Rap-helstrip
It’s like I’m slowly drowning in this pit that I’ve been down in ain’t smiled for a while since a child I’ve been frowning used to hear a distant howling but now I see them prowling consumed by the beast bare teeth I fear there growling my mind is like a sheath they tie me up in grief try to take away my life rob me blind like a thief they taunt me as I sleep distorting my beliefs slowly fade until I fall like an autumn time leaf searching for my purpose though I’m certain that it’s worthless I’m dropping to the bottom on my journey to the surface you wanna go deep then come into the furnace introduce you to the devil together he can burn us to a place where you can start to really space apart why ya dreams turn to screams and just bleed into the dark so come into my world a world so far apart ,a world you’ll never reach as long as peace is in your heart
Shavon joker & time
Body made of stars I’m trying to reach them, but their never in my grasp Jupiter and mars to most they are close but to me they seem so far home feels far away, but for right now I’m glad to see another day or was I made this way I can’t change its just the way I was raised and I can feel you roaming through the aisles of, of a lonely heart and I can see this pattern in disguise but, I’m a world apart.
Rap- minus13
Who’s gonna pick you up when your whole world falls apart, and starts to slip from your grasp living every day like it was my last, I nearly lost once in the past, 2 blood clots later now I’m on my second chance, just trying to advance walk these paths of deceit cos in these streets not everything’s quite what it seems cold eyes pierce deep they whisper when they speak your demise is the only prize that they wanna reap so take a page from my book see the pictures that I paint still stuck half way between a crook and a saint cos it’s never too late that’s what they say those opportunities could easily be a few knocks away so I stroll on like I do anyway roaming on a lonely isle tearing up the landscape look into my face like I told you from the start I’m not the same mate I’m a whole other world apart
Shavon & time
And I can feel you roaming through the aisles of, of a lonely heart, and I can see this pattern in disguise but I’m a world apart it’s in my ear, am I alone I don’t know where I belong, my heart has hills where your eyes sing the song, there’s the house, do you have the thrown! Do you own the thrown? And I can feel you roaming through the aisles of, of a lonely heart, and I can see this pattern in disguise but I’m a world apart...when I roam on my own I can feel you in my heart in the cold all alone I’m a world apart
