Ever More Demo (Olivier Guitar And Chorus) 22.07.20.02
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this is for the culture
Gotta keep it straight like Gibraltar
Or the crease upon the jeans of Travolta
We was dancing like machines
A JB tape upon his shoulders
Or the mic, Prince thought about the holster
Same tree that represent blackness from the pastors
The past is alive and well, surprising like Magic
To alter with this classic
Now I ain't reinvent the wheel
I sit and put some spinners on it and begin to peel
So many layers on my people but we tend to feel
As though the media prеsents us as like we sеt to kill
And that's tragic
We the fabric in any field
We make ecstatic from the static when we interfere
To be the leader means you never see the vision clear
Too busy blazing for the fall, it was to get the steel
Ima smoke for all creators who ain't get the deal
The culture first if you fall into it
It's the real

[Chorus]
For the real want to build what will
Make things straight Ever More
You can't feel how it feels
You just faking the fall
[Verse 2]
If you ain't from it you can love it
Just remember bring the budget
For the people who discovered what you covet
You got a lot of problems and the quickest way above it
Not discovered under bridges but to fish it out in public
Instead we try to hide it, commodify, monopolize
But yet we gotta buy it from outsiders, we never trust it
From congos to breakbeats to symphonies'
To deep bass that's from Chuck Brown and ?keep? .vavs to mp's
Cut down and replayed it
Emcee's to give us now a keepsake
To keep sake, its a tough sound, a weak link
Deepfakes tip it up now but me face
No metaphor for a foreign food its real so
Not getting credit for the culture getting real old
Not to many things in life that I would kill for
Give it up or giving up, I'm getting real close

[Chorus]
For the real want to build what will
Make things straight Ever More
You can't feel how it feels
You just faking the fall
