Streets Score - The Streets[00:00:00]
Sometimes I look down sometimes I look up[00:00:03]
Sometimes I look down sometimes I look up[00:00:07]
That's it[00:00:11]
I'm a fake[00:00:14]
I don't live The Streets[00:00:15]
But there's only so many hours in a day and[00:00:17]
I use them to make beats[00:00:18]
In the studio immersed in[00:00:21]
Rehearsing[00:00:22]
My technique[00:00:23]
I live loops sleep snares and breathe beats[00:00:24]
Then sieve through[00:00:27]
Keep the best there[00:00:29]
And only leave to eat[00:00:30]
Shut the door[00:00:31]
Pen and re-record the vocals just once more[00:00:32]
And now you know why these walls are the only walls I ever saw[00:00:35]
Call me the Quick Draw McGraw Show but on Logic Audio[00:00:38]
Kind of like a street score[00:00:43]
Though not the genuine article[00:00:44]
More facts packed in a soundtrack to the acting[00:00:47]
In a film and I'm the lead[00:00:49]
Believe me in a tragedy scene a tear ran down my cheeks[00:00:52]
So cue the fairytale finale[00:00:55]
Listen to the dialogue[00:00:58]
But not too deep[00:00:59]
Soak up the feeling[00:01:00]
But don't quote me please[00:01:02]
Incidentally[00:01:04]
Don't worry about continuity[00:01:05]
The person we hired to do that was relieved of their duties[00:01:07]
Also in the first scene my jeans are green[00:01:10]
But then they change mysteriously to cream[00:01:14]
Again bad continuity[00:01:16]
But I still mean what I mean[00:01:18]
I wear Nike a lot[00:01:20]
My hoodie's a tight Schott[00:01:21]
But does my life sound as interesting as a fight in a chip shop [00:01:23]
I think not[00:01:26]
The hype's not to be believed[00:01:27]
I ain't the archetypal street geez[00:01:29]
But I am right on being a beat junkie[00:01:31]
I gave up the fight for an easy life a long time ago[00:01:35]
When the last bird dumped me[00:01:37]
Buy me get one studio free[00:01:39]
I use words for effect to illustrate passion[00:01:42]
Themes ring fact and specifics are usually fiction[00:01:45]
I probably couldn't tell you half of what[00:01:49]
Has It Come To This means[00:01:51]
I was simply setting a scene[00:01:52]
Of concrete[00:01:54]
Not sky and green trees[00:01:55]
I still hold the same hundred feet high dreams[00:01:57]
But a lot of things scare me though[00:02:00]
I think I read somewhere recently that fear is a useless feeling because[00:02:02]
I can't run to where I'm heading without running from where I was[00:02:06]
It's all because[00:02:10]
Where I'm from is not the issue[00:02:11]
This is my imagination[00:02:13]
I don't sing the blues or feel fever[00:02:15]
Which by definition ain't spoken truth either[00:02:17]
It floats around places I've never even been to[00:02:20]
So don't lean toward the door at four[00:02:23]
Just as the dance floor gets raw[00:02:27]
Some of the things this tour makes out I'd done been or did[00:02:28]
Wasn't me I weren't the one[00:02:32]
I'd only seen it[00:02:33]
I was always too zoned-out on drum machine shit[00:02:34]
To worry about the day to day out in the dosh pit[00:02:37]
Flip the 12 inches[00:02:40]
This is the original mix[00:02:41]
Called[00:02:43]
Maybe my sarcastic Brit twist on ting will be my downfall[00:02:44]
Suddenly I'm defined by my lyrical[00:02:48]
So I apologise for being so self-obsessed on this tune[00:02:50]
Let's get back to the story soon as[00:02:54]
The Streets[00:02:57]
The score[00:02:58]
Tell me what you think it is[00:02:59]
Cause I don't know anymore[00:03:01]
