Hocus Pocus Lyrics by Johnny Cypher

Retrospection

2016

I am a verb
I’ll explain in a verse so that I can be heard
My objective is only to succeed if any for the best day I can be
But there’s always gonna be the knife industry that is always gonna be the voice for the piece
And the boy and the joy and the coy for beef, any usable [?] because
These [?] made boys, the only white noise better use their very own accent
We know that it’s bad sent, and I fast then masculine that in a past tense
It’s almost as if rap has been bought into another buyer’s market
Bought/sold hip-hop off as we sell hip-hop off to the main demographic
If we could suppose that it’s in our soul, then it’s a known enemy
Can we not show some more support for with the energy?
We must, I identify with Scotland the way to pave our own path
It made me so mad they didn't do that, get ready, show that I have been tempted
The strength of a no, don’t I know that I won’t even add in a growing [?]
I know that I molded a path, I’m holding a [?], the only man left in a one man race
Even a book of changes has a first and a last page
Like my own soul, it’s got a first and a last name
Don’t you know my arms are bombing at fiery hearts in the distant stars
My body’s a temple separate and it’s from that it’s small from large
My history’s rich, it’s filled with cultural inspiration
Yet I have the audacity as an individual to step by just one nation
You and I are more than we could ever perceive, more than we’d ever believe, more than we’d ever receive
You don’t challenge your identity by asking what your ego needs
Break away the image and see what’s lying naked beneath
Now just as a hammer falls on concrete, rips it apart piece by piece
Underneath is where that final statue could just be unleashed
It’s not that easy to find out what you are but what you’re not
For those things that you have forgot
For those things that you need to prove all you’ve got then
Assess for yourself, even if you believe that you’ve seen it before you’ve got to
Assess for yourself, even if bleeding is reason the need the more you’ve got to
Assess for yourself, there are people exploiting the masses, it shows that we can no longer ignore it
How long can we simply deny our own ears with the industry deliberately puts in our gears?
Essentially crippling our wishes and fears
The system no system invented in peers
The witness [?] shared
Their [?] has dropped, the act has [?] torn and now at least
The internet just showed us that this megalithic giant bleeds
Never that, they deserve [?] are you holding question, notion the debt with
They have no respect, gets every pennies charged with interest
You would think that once the central bank revealed a little wishlist
As a people we dries up in incest, yeah, what the fuck is this?
But aye, sit down, fuck that, mate, carry on
This is the [?] those supposed to get married on
Supposed to get married on
Yeah

Um, Johnny, could you slow that down just a little bit, please?
It’s just that, ya know, not everyone in here listens to rap

Ha ha ha ha
So we don’t let any of the cultures of the world if we don’t let a bit of relevance
So we stable learn to just nod our head at whatever celebrity ignorance
You try for a modern idea that’s foreign to one of these children at 8 in the morning
When late and awake in a state of a yawning
If only minimum wage was a’gone then
We’ll dangle a perfect life, must have been built by those who feel
Placed inside of an office plot that was steady but was only opted for those
That are not that bothered, might be mocked but was here when the copy steal
Your [?] clogged up, the money used to be real but now it’s gone
I am a verb, I’m capable of living every life that there is
I’m capable of being better at being myself every fucking night that I live
I’m capable of great things, I know that I’m capable of being a fuckup
I’m capable of being convinced there’s [?]
I know that I’m able to play with a hustle
It’s not that hard to change myself but it is hard to change what these people see
Not that hard to break myself but how [?] honestly
What’s my goal? Talk to your soul? Look into your eyes and [?] you don’t know
Know that there’s something we both can’t touch
I’d love to discuss the power to love
But we [?] above, I know you didn’t, I’m preferably numb
It’s got me interested in someone, the concept that we are one
And yet the weight of the world is more than a ton
And then up it go, the weather become
I riddle a path that no one has run lest I forget

Shit, forget what?
What was the hang of it I remember?
Ahhhh
Fuck it, just… nothing
One, two, three, four
Cut the fucking track, mate
Cut the track
Knife
