The Scribes – Jet Pack Lyrics
Lyrics
- Take a step back Think of all of life's set backs
- Take a ten bag Think of it as life's jet pack
- Make my skin crawl But don't you dare go under the surface
- Make your symbols But don't you dare show punters your purpose
- Shatter rafter masterclass Bomb drop Aftermath
- Corrosive flows kill shows across a vast expanse
- Plans advance This man's sans-standard rants
- Phantom masked misfit Wrists slit and a candid glance
- Hand in hand stand my hope and self confidence
- Taking a long walk across a short continent
- And the mask I wear is that shaking air of nonchalance
- Turn my back on rap and only come back for the compliments
- Just me and my confidants That's slipping away
- And one day I'll cave before hitting the stage
- But that isn't today Vent what I'm living in sprays
- With words written in rage that started ripping the page
- And minimum wage Wait Slaves to symbols
- And lacking flames of passion that took days to kindle
- Make my skin crawl This jet pack's a set back
- Wreck tracks with sprays til the day that my breath lacks
- Take a step back Think of all of life's set backs
- Take a ten bag Think of it as life's jet pack
- Make my skin crawl But don't you dare go under the surface
- Make your symbols But don't you dare show punters your purpose
- Vocal chord cadences Pitched at 3rds 4ths and 5ths
- Split into screaming fuck you Like 2nd and 3rd digits
- Piece together broken spirits I'm the supergluing bar steward
- Bars ruined spit toward the stars for gutters harpooning
- Rap Crack addicts mind fabric Turned to woven tapestries
- Pin point precision and the content of galaxies
- Mind expansion for my human pin cushions
- Whose bigger picture's a big issue
- No one's looking past the front page where beasts stalk the streets
- Like altered beast Waiting for the budget buy city feast
- Of sweet release Packing poison pipes of peace
- That unleash the freaks But with nothing up their sleeves
- They rest on broken dreams and broken beats
- Coke and fiends Smoke and drink Emulating empathy
- The flag of hope flies high and glows in the dark
- Because the end is never nigh when I go back to the start
- Take a step back Think of all of life's set backs
- Take a ten bag Think of it as life's jet pack
- Make my skin crawl But don't you dare go under the surface
- Make your symbols But don't you dare show punters your purpose
- Wordsmith hermit hiding from holocausts that never come
- Stuck in the stoned age with an iron lung
- Fall out shelters made from bricks and mortar
- Present panic Fear the future like the preacher's taught ya
- I back track And find new mistakes to learn
- Live in the aftermath with new knowledge to burn
- Then it's the colleges turn We dance with enlightenment
- Swallow speculation and culture clash with excitement
- I shrink into my shell shocked Lost on my native plain
- Exist in the day today Twist and then fade away
- Scape goat horns and a soul sworn to stay the same
- As your home made crown of thorns fails to save the day
- Fake escape Make a break just to find a cage
- Stage demon on page screaming til my final day
- Tidal wave rider gave blood for this stress vent
- I breath in rhymes til the day that my breath's spent
- Take a step back Think of all of life's set backs
- Take a ten bag Think of it as life's jet pack
- Make my skin crawl But don't you dare go under the surface
- Make your symbols But don't you dare show punters your purpose
