Voice Lyrics by Jelani Blackman, Bob Vylan

The Heart of It

2023

[Intro: Jelani Blackman]
Ay, ay, ay, yo
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman]
Man, I just love noise
Weren't long ago when we had no voice
One magazine back then called Voice
Now they wanna try tell man about choice
Ay, yo, fuck your choice
Your opinion’s void
I might just smile and destroy
Handle all with the grace and poise
[Verse 1: Jelani Blackman]
Yo, keep your toys, I do not play, I'm Freud
Late night catch me fried
Way too deep in my mind I'm tied
Tell no lies, well, I try
No one’s perfect, I just do mine
Some people can pretend for careers
But I did this for years, I'm just not that guy
Fly off the handle? Nah, that's dry
Hopе might leave, but I'm nevеr gonna cry
I was like eleven and I did them in my sight
Felons on my side
Venom on the mic
Lucky seven on the dice
Gonna die some time
That's relevant advice, if you're older and wise
If you're not that size
No exchanging my time like rice, mm
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman]
Yo, man, I just love noise
Weren't long ago when we had no voice
One magazine back then called Voice
Now they wanna try tell man about choice
Yo, fuck your choice
Your opinion’s void
I might just smile and destroy
Handle all with the grace and poise
[Verse 2: Jelani Blackman]
Don’t get involved for the sake of nonsense
Nowadays politics has no function
Yo, has no conscience
Too much chat, bullshit in abundance
But no real heart in the conference
Just financial assumptions
Fresh independent funding
So many zeros on new age punkin'
Everyone’s got morals
But really everyone's stuntin'
And they don't look pretty
Tell a bad b she can suck my johnson
Yo, we’re at th junction
Were at the start of something
Nah, we're at the end of something
Can you feel that crumblin'?
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman]
Mmm, man, I just love noise
Weren't long ago when we had no voice
One magazine back then called Voice
Now they wanna try and tell man about choice
Yo, fuck your choice
Yeah, your opinion's void
I might just smile and destroy
Handle all with the grace and poise
[Verse 3: Bob Vylan]
Last year they offered 80 thou
Ooh, wow, I turned it down
I need more, I need it now
Ask him why, I'll break it down
That ain't even a pound
For every stone we sold in town
For every phone call I took from a payphone
My phone rang loud
And I linked up, saw my soul ran out
I need enough to invest in the ends
In my pursuit of the best new trends
Made light of wrongs
Now I'm tryna right those wrongs
It's deeper than writing songs
I found my voice, then I made a choice
I'ma speak up, burn down Babylon
Don't do it for the post and caption
Me and Jelani, two powerful black men, eurgh
[Chorus: Jelani Blackman]
Man, I just love noise
Weren't long ago when we had no voice
One magazine back then called Voice
Now they wanna try and tell man about choice
Oh, fuck your choice
Your opinion's void
I might just smile and destroy
Handle all with the grace and poise
Mmm, man I just love noise
Weren't long ago when we had no voice
One magazine back then called Voice
Now they wanna try and tell man about choice
Yo, fuck your choice
Your opinion's void
I might just smile and destroy
Handle all with the grace and poise
[Outro: Jelani Blackman]
Hmm
What choice?
There can me no true option when it's dictated by other people
Has to be in the hands of yourself
So fuck their choice
