lyrics

Lyrics to Smoll Mashop Verse:

Alone like under a shroud.
Drowning, drowning like in times of mourning.
Spill, pour out tears and dry.
Thinking of stopping time but mistaken.
Scream, pray, laugh, deny….
Shoot, cry, push, flee!
Ugly…man, because the end is close.
Close but buddy nothing prevent that we initiate:
Grace, style, rhymes on the mark;
Strengths multiplied as that of a missile.
Bet-break, split the vinyl… but dude the flow is fly as far as the edge of the Thames.

Scared to fall without being able to hold on to.
Fear that has been dominated by too much of anxiety.
Scared of trying without finally making it.
Trying to go forward to have no regrets!!

Middle Bridge Section:

Don’t be afraid,
Just take the time,
Think…take action!
