Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes The dull, the dark Shades on my day I live inside this play
Locked up inside my metal cage Always tense and filled with rage Above the concrete fields below With you I wanna go, wanna go
Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see I'll be only what I wanna be yeah-ah My blanket covers me, yeah
Yeah (check it) Now as a human I was party-poppin, breakin on the lino Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro But now my ends are meetin' in the best way that I know Tk Tss Ksh and the beast that goes BOOM See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom All the beats and melodies they keep realities at bay But what happen when the record drummin' start to fade away
Alone within myself again I try to veil away my pain The dirty grey surrounding me 'round And now I hear no sounds...
I feel like Melly Mel from way back in the days As I wonder how I keep from going under I got trouble on my mind like my name is Chuck D And like Marvin Gaye it makes me wanna holler But when the music hits me I feel no pain That's why I got to put you on again and again I take the needle off the Technics And put it in my vein All my troubles get crushed As the rush hits my brain And away .. goes .. trouble.. down the drain
I see only what I wanna see I'll be only who I wanna be yeah-ah, yeah-ah My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see I'll be only who I wanna be yeah-ah, yeah-ah My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket
You are my living world You are my living world You are you are you are my My only living world....
