lyrics

Verse:
Capture the moment and I’m back in the zone. Down to write some miraculous notes. I manufacture those. Like Casper I’m ghost. And that’s how it goes. After setting the tone I’m glad to go home and come up with serious flows. I bet ya they’re dope. So, let it be known. I make it memorable. When my head is full I let it run. It’s only natural. As usual I’m quite productive. Let the drummer keep drumming. Take the pen out of my luggage and write something out of nothing. Keep humming on until the right words come up. Stunning every time I pull it off another verse on lock. I’m proud of what I do and you know what? I won’t stop. Cause the figments in my head are bound to get dropped. I told you. I stand my ground for this culture like a soldier. Operate my call like I suppose to. Nice to know you. Reaching out to anyone to get closer. So when I’m older, no regrets when I look over my shoulder. Here’s a piece of mine. Recognise. Mind exercise. Mamma’s pride. Wise, when the microphone cries. Let me rock on the mic and let the reefer unite. Cause this is something you don’t get to see every night. I’m going to give it that extra spark, all for the lost art. It’s strictly from the heart. I’m working hard to heal that what’s been ripped apart. Yo this is timeless. Pick up my rhyme script. Lay it down on paper cause moments like this are priceless.

Hook:
Ride along. When the sun goes down we drive on till the morning come. The horizon’s waiting for us. You can hear it calling on. Where you are? Take it down slow when I’m on the road and write a song that can only make me stronger. Ride along. When the sun goes down we drive on till the morning come. The horizon’s waiting for us. You can hear it calling on. Where you are? Take it down slow when I’m on the road and write a song that can only make me stronger.

Verse:
When I grew up I had more time for regular stuff. Acting fully like a boy did as a twelve year old rookie. I searched for my identity and what I found.. My little brother drumming on a joint of James Brown. Felled I was gonna burst. Well, not in those words. But I really thought it was the fattest shit i’ve ever heard. Went back into my room and felt I had something to do myself. Suddenly I heard a sound and I could tell it came from some place else. “Who there?” My big brother asked. While he’s turning down the music and writing his spliff fast. I said; “yo, my bad. But I just came to check it out.” He said; “yo, close the door and I’ll show you what it’s about. He amazed me with some Wu-Tang hits and some Bootcamp Click. Some Organized Konfusion, movies and raw kung-fu flicks. A guy in glitter moving backwards, breaking moon tricks and than some rappers live on stage be saying “do that shit!” Clench my fist into a rock and said; “let’s go to the stars”. I had to know what it was like to write on for sixteen bars. So I went up to the attic and took out my two cassette decks. Played a beat on one tape, the other to wreck a fat track. That shit was kind of wack. Back then I thought it was the bomb. I used to go outside and play the track for cats who got it all wrong. Create a lot of fun today. I had a good run. But now I hitchhike till dawn. Stay patient and keep kalm.

Hook:
Ride along. When the sun goes down we drive on till the morning come. The horizon’s waiting for us. You can hear it calling on. Where you are? Take it down slow when I’m on the road and write a song that can only make me stronger. Ride along. When the sun goes down we drive on till the morning come. The horizon’s waiting for us. You can hear it calling on. Where you are? Take it down slow when I’m on the road and write a song that can only make me stronger.
