lirik lagu mike firm – shift
[i. “city in the evening lights”]
[intro 1]
dreams in my mind, body full of lift
smiling while i’m rapping, horizontal shift
i see it… in my sight
i want it… all that’s my mine
[chorus]
faster than the speed of light
as we ride through the city in the evening lights
that we have seen from afar in every moment
i deemed all that nonsense fair
faster than the speed of light
as we ride through the city in the evening lights
that we have seen from afar in every moment
i deemed all that nonsense fair
[verse 1]
it’s starting not ending, tribute to my game
destroy anyone oblivious that f-cks with me
be cautious of what you do, don’t act a fool
jay had 99 problems, now that’s the truth
it didn’t correspond, to the backdrop
it’s deadly like magic or b.o.b
taken from the hear listen for the sounds
life in the making, no second chance or sequels
doubts in my lane, i really don’t think so
that’s why, create musical paintings
blast off houston, remain calm
i’m flying, like you’ve never seen it
ready for battle, listen to me
[chorus]
faster than the speed of light
as we ride through the city in the evening lights
that we have seen from afar in every moment
i deemed all that nonsense fair
[ii. “lyrical miracle”]
[intro 2]
24/7, that’s my life
all this strife, wouldn’t it be nice?
if i could sit back, watch the whole world spin?
see myself in paradise
[verse 2]
a pair of eyes is all i need
to look through and in between
all these struggles, all these troubles
made me who i am, and i’m still schemin’
f-ck everyone, and everything
it takes two to tango, procreate
double edged swords, consequence
binary decisions, prophets in a wake
death by dishonor, contradict
i have the b-lls to say it, so suck my d-ck
vulgar by nature, not conditioned
the pen is mightier than the sword, i swear i’m king
back to back, searching for my queen
but b-tches ain’t sh-t, so i don’t trust them either
cynical with the lingo, vernacular i’m spinning
into an abyss of my own doing
dog bites the, hand that feeds him
searching for the p-ssy like the dogs that chase it
why crumble and destroy a woman’s temple?
nurture and respect, but facing double standards
creator versus creation, caught in a riddle
so riddle me this, what’s the hypothesis?
rinse and repeat in a never ending cycle?
begin, process and all goes black
distraught over this realization
coming to a conclusion, that it’s all worth nothing
[verse 3]
who you are, and what to me?
live and let go, even when it hurts
relieve my misery with a nine to my dome
me, myself, and i alone with my thoughts
carry on, when i have nothing left
pick myself up from the darkness inside
reside, devise, web of lies
revise the illusion, mirage of delusions
promising the earth when i can’t even show
too far away, downed as i fall
loving these ailments, even to a fault
what do i do? periods turn to questions
back in here like n-body’s business
release me from my cages, oh jeez
withstanding from the mic, vic dog on a leash
amounts of failure, put to the side
working on character i know that i believe
royalty in my veins, remove success from this train
and bring that back
here we go again
[verse 4]
i used to wanna be an officer and protect the kids
it’s my corner, stop running foul
believe in something before it’s banned
like a catcher in the rye, and illegal to express
1984 it’s a brave new world
noose around your vocals and suffocate your thinking
thought police, wash it down with alcohol
you too and me, blinded by the lights
worshipping your idols, f-cking up the psyche
my worth, their worth, it’s equal to the same
on to the next one, renaissance enlightenment
voltaire philosophy move for development
hope for the people, rebel with a cause
chuck d for president, black thought with the gun
lupe for the lyrics, slug with the stunt
ye for the beats, dilla with the drugs
soul brotha #2, krs for the boogie
a tribe called quest, cause that’s where we’re heading
kendrick for the culture, twista with the spit
saba for the rhymes, too $hort for the pimp
underground kings, southern with the slang
mike firm in the process, challenge in the ring
