lirik lagu gerald synik mugwenhi – like a drug
[intro:]
the following presentation is inspired by real events
however, some of the characters and incidents portrayed are fictitious
any similarity of these to actual persons, living or dead…
(synik:) i’ve agreed to grant this interview under the strict condition of my anonymity
(interviewer:) alright
(synik:) you’re gonna have to leave all your electronic devices
and i’ll have to put a blindfold on you to take you down to the lab
(interviewer:) i understand
(synik:) this way
[verse:]
yo, you gotta keep the product pure, never water it down
the industry’s got this fake stuff going around
it sells cheap, but the side effects are potentially lethal
at it’s worst its been known to zombify the people
when i’m in the lab, my execution exacts
the right dose of truth and sk!ll, infused on a track
the kitchen below the surface, we were criminalised
the result of telling the truth in a system that lies
got the raw material in the form of a dope beat
gotta spit fire coz the process involves heat
to make the elements gel, need a pro with the tools
then we pass it to a master, then the process is through
but really, the hard part is supplying our markets
regular channels ain’t tryna reach the ones that we target
but through hand to hand and digital distribution
is how we stay pushing and we keepin’ it moving
[chorus:]
we got you stuck off the realness
it’s like a drug
you’re twitching, the addiction make you nod to the beat
flooding the streets
with ill hip~hop and released
and now we’re pushing it
something like the mob
we got you stuck off the realness
it’s like a drug
you’re twitching, the addiction make you nod to the beat
flooding the streets
with ill hip~hop and released
and now we’re pushing it
something like the mob
coz it’s deep
[verse:]
we connecting worldwide, from zim to the states
for that unadulterated, while we’re digging the crates
it sparks a part of your brain when the needle connects
that’s why it’s been appropriated by some evil execs
but the real is like guild coz we only tryna build
through the life giving properties that it’s known to yield
source of knowledge, gave kids the power to soar
now they study it in college, it’s a powerful force
but…
identifying fiends is getting harder now it seems
since it became cool, they went and gentrified the scene
now they thinking that they’re true coz they wearing fly jeans
and the n word coming out the mouths of white teens
regrettably so
me and mine are peddling hope
embedded in the genetics of those taken on boats
embedded in the 70s when the scratch was invoked
and then the mc gets to braid beat with the flow
[pre~chorus hook:]
and now its one is for the body
two for the mind
three’s for the spirit that keep the culture alive
four’s for all the real heads worldwide
five’s for the hip~hop vibes that stay live like this
five’s for the hip~hop vibes that stay live like this
five’s for the hip~hop vibes that stay live like this
[chorus:]
we got you stuck off the realness
it’s like a drug
you’re twitching, the addiction make you nod to the beat
flooding the streets
with ill hip~hop and released
and now we’re pushing it
something like the mob
we got you stuck off the realness
it’s like a drug
you’re twitching, the addiction make you nod to the beat
flooding the streets
with ill hip~hop and released
and now we’re pushing it
something like the mob
coz it’s deep
have a ~~~~~ od coz it’s never enough
have a ~~~~~ od coz it’s never enough
have a ~~~~~ od coz it’s never enough
have a ~~~~~ od coz it’s never enough
[outro:]
[synik:]
okay i’m gonna put the blindfold back on and i’m gonna lead you back into the street
careful on the steps
[interviewer:]
thank you for your time
[interviewer:]
h~llo? it’s done
