MUPHIN - Drift lyrics

rate me

I drift from job to job, place to place

My life switches like the expressions on my face

And I love the chase, and although it ain't a race

It's my life and I'm not one to make a waste

I thought when I was older that I'd be a businessman

Not a full-blown Hip Hop fan making music and making a stand

With only a five-day plan it gets bland

I can reveal the hidden like a hair strand

Only simple shitty jobs so I doubt I'll get canned

Far from tanned but not your freakishly pale

I check the mail to see the response on the interview

Whether I passed, or once again I failed

Drifting, I've even sailed upon the Great Barrier Reef

Sun baked at the Portsea Beach, from girls I've caught some grief

Felt the pain from those close who became deceased

And spoke in relief after V.C.E

A good T.E.R., yeah that could have been me

But seemingly I took life like my rhymes, I just flowed

Kind of like some fools had their grass mowed whilst I let it grow

I'll let you know I occasionally panic

Get frantic over petty antics, but most often I relax

Like humans in hammocks, or cows in paddocks

I reminisce like people in there attics

Pick up the mic and bring the static

And travel on, drifting upon song to song

The journey's long and yet to reach climax

Have your eyes gazing like the Imax, I raps

With high-hats, minds snap, I've sat in the wrong chair

I've been kicked out by the bear left in my underwear

Well they say one day tht you're gonna get caught

Hold that thought, as the spiritual nomad puts on his shorts

And the walk continues... and the walk continues

The bear was once there for this fellow, but he turned yellow

And hella selfish, appearing kind and cuddly on the outside

He left me helpless, we were good mates and then you dumped me

And I felt it like a tonne of bricks

Felt like a tonne of shit

Why have you done this you fucking punk bitch?

So I switched from being the kind and easy to befriend

To one who has tied his ends like your mum her tubes

Now I only hang with the dudes who really keep it true

And upon the path I pursue, wandering like Caine from Kung Fu

Now if I sung you a lullaby would you get emotional and cry

Or merely punch me in the eye?

What I'm asking is are you quick to criticise? Minimise your growth

It's a checkpoint so in the shower I'm about to soak

With the soap, but no rope, clean away negativity and sparkle hope

My dreamscape helps me to float

And when I die people will relate to the words that I wrote

Well so I hope, Hip Hop helps me to cope

And better still build, and I'm not referring to my skills

Bills or any of that, I'm talking as a person

The one that you hear rap

Giving me the strength to stay stable rather than collapse

Am I going anywhere? At times I don't know if I even care

But I can't bare the thought of a life filled with regret

I found a girl to whom I can connect, but is this the one yet?

My hair gets wet from the light sprinkle of rain

I walk in it to wash away the pain or the tears

For only so long can I use the beer

I got a car but I don't know where to steer

A blue sky but it still ain't clear, +Overcast! + like +Atmosphere+

Cause it's hard here in Australia to make your career

Out of Hip Hop, it's easier to be the failure

Even if you're sharp like a Schick's razor

Too many haters, not enough people to support the local

When it should be the focal point, independent vocals

Inhale 'em like a joint, and we shall continue to motivate

Tracks will circulate and we'll activate a more powerful community

Separation? Nah I'd prefer the unity

I assume to be seeing more and more regular releases from my travels

Making sense, avoiding babble, and random words like Scrabble

Upon the beats my life journeys and experiences are unravelled

And you wack emcees make me laugh like The Castle

Huh, like The Castle... like The Castle
