Reveal – Neva Blink Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- In the morning I wipe the sleep from my eye
- Takes a second to clear my head,(Why?) 'cos I always dream of people who've died
- I don't shake the feeling, I keep it inside, thats how I keep them alive
- I let it feed me and breathe through my rhymes
- Realism keeps telling me
- That I was meant to walk alone, from the day I was born to the day they bury me
- But realisms my remedy
- So I smile, rub sunshine on my face and look to the day ahead of me
- I started life as a star in the sky
- From a spark in my father's eye and I'll shine till the afterlife
- So many questions still unanswered in life
- And each is answered with why
- Why he departed at the darkest of times?
- Wait a minute, I only been awake for a minute
- And maybe this is all a dream, one day I'll wake in a clinic
- Wouldn't surprise me, life is like a fake little gimmick
- People go from being your friends to being faces who visit
- Remember when we were younger together we held the spot down?
- You grew onwards and upwards, you no longer on the block now
- I'd never be mad at your progress
- But it's kind of like I'm still in the grimy side of life and you don't even notice
- Maybe I'm getting too deep, getting caught in emotions
- It's just the Persian blood in me, I came from over the oceans
- True believer in unity, I am my brothers keeper
- Whether they drug dealers, thieves or underachievers
- Where you see drugs, street thugs and robberies
- I see a bunch of children the system couldn't teach properly
- It's all about pespective, you need to learn to see properly
- Before accusing kids of not learning to speak properly
- My lifes been an attempt to gain wisdom
- So I've been patient and listened
- From words of ancients to my mates that are in prison
- Certain people will read a page of Religion
- Misunderstand it, then do the Devil's work and claim they maintaining tradition
- They failed to listen to the instinct that's in them
- Ended up sinning, and they got the nerve to tell me that I'm fake 'cos I'm spitting
- I refuse to play the game I was given
- I chose a way that was different
- And thats reflected in the way that I'm living
- From tower block to council estate, council estate to prison
- Accumalated some strange ways of thinking
- I figure, I'm a secret unto myself, the obvious is for others
- So when I think of Heaven I don't look to the stars above us
- I do this for missing sisters, fathers, mothers and brothers
- And all the others amongst us who lost somone who loved us
- I know I said some raw things on 'Warning'
- But I'm not sure if I meant them, understand it's all part of my mourning
- Fam, I got a lot on my mind
- I hit the block and stay high, eyes of a snake I never blink, never cry
Hook
- I hit the block high, got a lot on my mind
- Got the eyes of a snake, I never blink never cry
- I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme
- These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes
- Hit the block high, make the song cry, I
- Got the eyes of a snake, never blink, never cry
- I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme
- These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes
Verse 2
- Lately I wake from sleep in the night
- Lady by my side like baby try get back to sleep it's alright
- But lately I find I'm sleepless at nights
- I get this feeling inside
- Cos in my dreams I speak with people who've died
- And theres answers to certain secrets that lie
- Forever buried under the ground, it's too deep to percieve with your eyes
- That why I learnt to see with my mind
- Opened my third eye and read the signs in life I frequently find
- Maybe I went too deep with this rhyme
- But I'm just speaking my mind
- Ain't feeling the vibe, you need to rewind
- I represent street philosophers who aim to defeat the obvious
- Really it's not a lyric but more like a stream of conciousness
- Living off instinct, that's a thing they don't teach in colleges
- Situations in life make you see just how deep your knowledge is
- I emmanate peace from my aura
- Same time I know the street, so I also keep a piece and a bourer
- Thinking when did it come to this? Has it come to this
- Younger kids, playing with guns and clips
- Maybe the High Grade makes me think too much
- Or maybe the rest of the world simply ain't thinking enough
- Fam, I got a lot on my mind
- I hit the block n stay high
- Eyes of a snake, I never blink, never cry
Hook
- I hit the block high, got a lot on my mind
- Got the eyes of a snake, I never blink never cry
- I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme
- These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes
- Hit the block high, make the song cry, I
- Got the eyes of a snake, never blink, never cry
- I lived a real life, you can feel it when I rhyme
- These are real times, you can see it in the rhymes
