Inspiration Island
[Intro: Drapht]
D-Rapht, D-Ra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-apht
A-a-a-apht
[Verse 1: Drapht]
My Mecca of motivation is facing destruction
Develop growing hatred, the face of seduction
My patience erupted, now my liberation's
Abducted, living through this name I've constructed
Not paid, so reluctant, sucked into darkness
A place where I couldn't give a fuck if your heart's with us
Half your love doesn't even compare
To the energy I get from an enemy's stare
Is anyone there? I'm short of replies
I'm starved with nothin' to feed off in this Lord of the Flies
I'm cornered by tribes of doubt without an escape
I'm screaming' and shoutin' louder to get out of this place
Looking out on the space, thinkin' "How the fuck did this happen?"
I thought I would've kept on rapping till my lungs are collapsing
But I'm lackin' all inspiration, rackin' my brain
I want it to be just like how they had it back in the day
[Verse 2: Dazastah]
Stuck in the timeless thought
Brought up to think my dreams are made from the future, but of course
The suckers were wrong, as I pull on the bong
Bubble my thoughts on a course inspired from a song
'Cause everything I think of stems from the past
Learn from my idols not from a paid teacher in class
My heroes weren't rock stars or sport celebrities
The truth'd be, I look up to my friends and family
I'm thankin' everyone who gave me a chance
Who gave me a hand, when my head was stuck in the sand
To my Mum and my Dad, for their eternal love
My brothers, cousins, uncles, aunties and my little godson
You're the reason and drive, why I put up with these critics
Take the disses and see very low financial figures
I'm sayin' thanks Lay and your family, without you
I probably hang on the streets with the wrong crew
[Chorus: Drapht]
Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
[Verse 3: Optamus]
Never gonna quit this biz, it's too far gone
I walk the monumental step like my name was Neil Armstrong
One giant leap for mankind, nothin' major
Syllabolik, historically I find it later
It's time for the peeps now, I feel this deep down
Echoing through your soul, now feel the rebound
Piercing your heart, now open your eyes
And light, you're like near-death when you're showing the lie
'Cause I spitting these lessons of the Stairway to Heaven
So the gods can hear my call when I'm no longer present
I got a penchant for dramatics, but never mistake
My lyrics be the cogs turning that will instigate change
Every phrase, every verse, every word, every sound
Every little bit of shit that's coming out my mouth
So get on down kid, yeah
Drapht, Downsyde, Layla
[Bridge: Drapht]
Singing da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da dum (Da da da da)
[Chorus: Drapht]
Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
[Verse 4: Dyna-Mikes]
The days, we're all gettin' older
The nights, it's all gettin' colder
I need a shoulder to cry on
Hear the call of the lion lost in Zion, Babylon
Perth city, stand with me, march with me
Laugh with me and fight with me
Sip a drink from this cup and live forever
Listen to this song, it'll all be better
See the road we chose ain't covered in gold
It's smothered with blood and then covered with love
It's the Wiz that I want 'cause I need a heart
I need to be brave to face the past
I'm inspired by life 'cause these words I write
Are non-fiction, listen to the wisdom
Our actions all preordained
Once you make a choice, things'll never be the same
[Verse 5: Layla]
Welcome to the explanation for the waited on one
Patience push us, slash voodoo cushion with a half vacant tongue
Casting the plaque of an aardvark's gums
Wasting spirit like gum, bust up of our lies
More undown and tied than a car park
Hated mirrors, the first a slump and the last up
A dark angel number one
Steer to the ground, I'm a stark naked souls
Unfolding now, so, come and fill my gaping holes
I staple peeled feathers to doubt and once blazing coals
Pillaging this staff of clues and treasures
I'm still missing, pulls your path like carcass lepers
Or six-year-old girls left a piss glass
In African deserts, I'm a split vases searching for my petals
Before I tip the basket in
Harping on one string, far from laughing with inspiration
In fact I think he's taken my man on a lont
'Cause he's passionately groping her curves as I'm deferred
Hanging for hope, struck high, caught up in moping
Can't even teach myself the ropes I'll tire
Nah, you're coping, revising bring me eager reason
When I'm pinched and I'm bleeding, I'm like, "La, you're here breathing."
But it's clearly eating away at chips
And I apologise, I only wish I had some advice for you kids
[Chorus: Drapht]
Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
Deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
But we're deep in inertia (Stuck in the cold)
Last asleep, but the first up (Taking it's toll)
But we keep movin' further (We'll never fold)
We just roll and we roll and we roll and we roll
