The Scribes – Burning Bridges Lyrics
Lyrics
Intro
- Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, at this time let me introduce to you,
- weighing in this evening at a slim, trim, rough, buff, cut chiselled and jacked, combined weight of 420 pounds of pure
- rap muscle, Loki Steele, Ill Literate, the tag team champions of the world, THE SCRIBES!
Verse 1
- New wave technophobe/ Spit to a digital metronome/
- Typical head nod/ Incredible flow scheme/
- Blow with no need in general/
- To get cosy with this ghost scene/
- Ahead of all lesser fools/ Vegetables/
- Lesson to the wise/
- If I'm pissing off you guys it's a blessing in disguise/
- Connected with the mic and I'm detecting that you like/
- But I don't give a fuck like a lesbian for a wife/
- The acceptable face detestable takes/
- Uproot the underground's vegetable state/
- Blessing all breaks/ With impeccable taste/
- And next level timing/ Now I'm a spectacle/ Great/
- Yet every time I rap a flow/ and every time we pack a show/
- You head nod till your backs are broke/
- Your sick well I'm the antidote/
- This scene's a fucking cannibal I pack a catapult/
- And slay Goliaths/ Fuck you liars/ End quote/
Hook
- Break the bridge/
- Another broken itch/
- Step too short/
- Instead you step on stones/
Verse 2
- I am so focussed/ This rides got no time for your hide like ivory poachers/
- Your ass is hopeless/ever since 'Another Episode' you've been sitting on the sofa/
- billing with a roach, smoke swimming in the odour/
- this is how you cope? deal with it when you're older/
- breakthroughs start with stones and not boulders/
- cold when you see your life fits in a folder/you can come with me/
- I'll take you on a journey/ I step on coals and know they won't burn me/
- 'cus I know the secret/ to be a legend surely/
- avoid mid life crisis and die early/ everybody's crazy/
- isn't it amazing? Living with a vice until buried under paving/
- whether it's women, drinking, television or raving/
Hook
- Break the bridge/
- Another broken itch/
- Step too short/
- Instead you step on stones/
Verse 3
- I burn bridges and walk on water/
- Talk auroras while rappers turn bitches/
- Them cats are so vicious/
- Kitty's got claws but spitters lack balls I rap with no limits/
- Cracked it, no image!/ I look like shit but pretty with spits look/
- Scripts get ripped up/
- Zip them lips up Mr Ill Literate's back y'all/
- Time's up/ Tick tock/ tick tock/
- Your sorrows are lovely/
- Drown with me/
- It's sink or swim and the world is watching/
- You can rise above me/
- Take this please/
- Hope to live in this world for something/
Hook
- Break the bridge/
- Another broken itch/
- Step too short/
- Instead you step on stones/
