lirik lagu otis mensah - outside the cave
verse 1
let it rain on me
put your pain on me
when you’re feeling low
nahh don’t go!
let me grab that wheel
let me steer you out of the storm
you’ve been dealing with a lot
i know, i know
potholes in a road
in a road that bares no end
just new beginnings
life gets cold like you moved to finland in the winter
take everything with a pinch of salt
and a pinch to see if you still exist
in alternate realities i clench my fist
and i raise it high
don’t fight the tide
just go with the flow
and flow with the boat
switch it up when they ask me to rap double-time
i muddle rhymes in the pines where the puddle lies
i’m just trying to get my feet wet
apex, i don’t see death
just new life and a new breathe
watch my feet as they two-step
my body be moving
my mood keep grooving
i keep on pursuing my vision
i’m missing my siblings but that’s ok
i leave my soul on the tape like isaac hayes
we’re just trying to make movies like isaac hayes
when i kick to the curb like isaac hayes
it’s a new rebirth like isaac hayes
and i swear
ha yeah!
all i’ve got is a dream and a stopwatch
all i’ve got is scream no soft-rock
all i’ve got is a scene
and scheme
and a key to be freed from this headlock
watch me skip, jump
flip through fire
and hopscotch over life
i work overtime every time that i overthink
stand tall like a sphinx
see a king don’t blow in the wing
take blows on the chin
embrace the fire
stop holding it in
i feel the soul on your skin
don’t let it escape
because at the end of the day
we’re all trapped in this maze called time
we’re all lost on this race called life
chorus
i’ve been in the cave
i’ve been in the hole
just need to feel
stuck on thinking so morose
i just need to take it slow ain’t had a break
i need a minute
bleed from holes in my achilles and mistakes that i’ve been living
i’ve been…
guilt-tripping myself
just living my h-ll
i’ve got some
l’s under my belt
the heaven i felt
has faded
and you can feel the pain enslave my cadence
but my faith is built bodacious
leave my pride aside the pavement
verse 2
this ain’t just ‘laws of attraction’…
this that ‘live & die for my p-ssion’
this that ‘thought of freedom, no taxes’
this that ‘acting cr-ss means you’re crashing’
this that ‘up the work because you’re slacking’
this that ‘i don’t follow no fashion’
this that ‘i don’t talk with no action’
this that ‘motivation writes cl-ssics’
b-mping dilla with the windows down
this that playing thriller when you’re feeling down
this that treading water
you’re about to drown
need a helping-hand
someone help me out
i’ve been floating through life
i’ve been coasting, no drive
i’m not boasting nor bragging
no motion’s not right
and when i realised
i actualised and it cracked me out of my sh-ll
back tracked right up out of this h-ll
pack my bags and now its like pacquiao
when that bell rings
i won’t live in this prison
i’m not selling
my soul for no cash or no coal
stay gold
chorus
i’ve been in the cave
i’ve been in the hole
just need to feel
stuck on thinking so morose
i just need to take it slow
ain’t had a break
i need a minute
bleed from holes in my achilles
and mistakes that i’ve been living
i’ve been…
guilt-tripping myself
just living my h-ll
i’ve got some
l’s under my belt
the heaven i felt
has faded
and you can feel the pain enslave my cadence
but my faith is built bodacious
leave my pride aside the pavement
