Bree Street Lyrics by Sam Turpin

4am in Jozi

2017

[Verse 1: Sam Turpin]
Yes it's me! I'm the wavy individual
Born up in Johannesburg in a suburb called Yeoville!
Came up, I went to school in the post-Apartheid pool
And it was really really cool but growing up I was no fool!
I fucked up a couple times, gotta learn from the mistakes -
They say "it's all part of the journey" - no lies detected!
Forgive me if you get shit because I feel dejected...
It's a fucked up world! Social media detective
Compound the tech rev-olution with the pain!
Solutions for the slain - they seem few and far between
But I'm not morally grounded enough to help with the team
So I just make the music - express my self through art!
Been at it since '09 but now it's only just the start!
Bombaclaart in the papers, and also on the screen!
I wanna get that vegan living but for now I'm eating meat
Meeting ends with the talent, although I'm underground, shit!
But that's why I'm on the mic!
Say that you love me!
I love thee!
No one's below me
Or above me!
Yeah!
But anyway!
This is how I'd like to go!
TrIal and error living cause no living being's my manual so
'cav how the rap go!
Beats and the Sam flow!
Blow out the candles
Cause I'm about to handle -
Anything you want to know and now, off to Ghana I go!
[Verse 2: Yaw P]
Uh!
Wake up in the morning feeling like the mask
Do I wear my tie or spin it 'round and wear my ropes?
This one thing, my heart can't seem to cope!
And at the same time, 'burning inside my soul!
This art's always been my Achilles heel -
I'm indestructible, hear me? They're up against the hill!
Like the superhero in the red cape
When I see green I just don't know how to feel!
We could do this in so many different ways
But life no dey keep the stains off a white shirt...
And all this light? I still no dey see the perks!
Makes me feel better off, down, in the dirt!
That way I shed weight; lose some stones!
I no be diabetic chale but you see the bones!
"Death before dishonour" flowing through my veins!
Feeling all nostalgic, scrolling through my pain!
Everyday's a miracle, it's closer to the pinnacle
And people need to see it but it's difficult to see the change!
