Devlin - Yesterday's News Lyrics

Devlin - Yesterday's News

I've been here for a period of time
So long that my brain has gone delirious inside
I think back on all the years that I've survived
Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes
But now I'm yesterday's news
And I'm tomorrow's promise but I've got my mince pies
Open wide trying to visualize devils in disguise
Devz I'm like Picasso cause I've been through every shade of blue
I'm walking under rainy skies but the flame never died
It stayed alive cause I was made to ignite
Like dynamite I'm from the cold with heavy night
I'm riding tight notice flows slip and slide
Like a tire in the snow cause there ain't no grip on ice

I'm cold in the Moscow and it's minus 29
So welcome to my life, I've cleverly designed minds
Lost souls just trying to live the higher life

I've been here so long through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here, with the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here, with the government and yesterday's news

Devilin, I'm dangerous I'm dead guys
And every week forgotten like yesterday's headlines
I've been through the blues just like Elvis' best time
But I ain't wearing suede shoes, I've just got the best rhymes
I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times
But I'll still rise like I'm the day walker Wesley Snipes
So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry
When I witness blood seeking through his veins
This has become apparent I've got a talent that these other rappers haven't
So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains
About my rhymes but when I'm talking about?
So cut the conversation cause I've been lower rating
Taking anything I'm pleasing taking off the aviation
To a better place in time better for leaving this place behind

I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here, with the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here, with the government and yesterday's news

I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress
I can't see no reason why I can't retain success
I just need a real good time away from all this stress

I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here, with the government and yesterday's news
I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues
But it's funny how I'm still here, with the government and yesterday's news

Devlin - The World Still Turns Lyrics

Devlin - The World Still Turns

Listen,
They wanna build me up,
Postpone my attempt to kill my bars,
well you better have an army,
cause' its day one all of my boys show love,
now I'm here where I should be,
when I'm high of a night I wonder where I would be,
on the streets where the thieves and the hoods be,

(The world still turns around)

As life continues
and with the lyrics and rhymes I bring you
I'm telling you strife you been through
might make your heart feel colder than pingu,
i stand in a place,
contemplating distant memories
you have never seen so many tear drops in a place
but a voice in my brain keeps telling me

CHORUS:
(They build me up, to break me down,
but the world still turns around
They build me up, to break me down,
but the world still turns around)

yeah, as the road spins on its axis
I feel trapped in a box like matchsticks
but I’ve got the UK head over heels
like gymnastics on a mad practice in back flips
but they wanna steel my career like silicon mastic
some days when I wake I tell myself I’m feeling fantastic
cause' whatever occurs
time won’t stop the earth still turns
every lesson I’ve learnt
I reckon it's worth the pain and seconds of hurt
so as the world rotates
isolate and float through space
a never ending cycles occurin'
a carousel that won't stop turning

Chorus:
They build me up, to break me down,
but the world still turns around
They build me up, to break me down,
but the world still turns around.

They wanna build me up to break me down
they show love when i was heard up
and now I’m coming up it seems they wanna break me down
they wanna build me up to break me down
they show love when I was heard up
but now I’m coming up it seems they wanna break me down.

Chorus:
They build me up, to break me down,
but the world still turns around,
They build me up, to break me down,
but the world still turns around.

Devlin - Day's & Nights Lyrics

Devlin - Day's & Nights

I've been up for nights and days
And my eyes remain wide awake
Because more than my life's at steak
So I ain't got time for blinkin
All the time I'm thinkin
If this ain't hell it's one firey place
Metallic projectiles fly in ya face
And leave you like human garbarge lyin in drains
I gotta keep my eyeballs open
The only thing thatll minus the pain like ibuprofen is
9milli and k on the case
I don't feeel incontrol like pilots in planes
I'm trapped in this winding maze
I'm an insomniac I'm insane

CHORUS
I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Until they pay me right
My eyes are open wide but
I'll sleep when I'm dead
lyricseek.blogspot.com
WHEN EVERYTHING ON MY TO DO LIST IS TICKED OFF,
THEN MAYBE I CAN DRIFT OFF,
UNTIL THEN I'm WIDE AWAKE, LYIN IN A DAZE,
MY EYEBALLS GAZE.
HYPNOTISED BY THE SOUND OF MY WRIST WATCH,
CLICKIN TICK TOCK.
I'm incharge of the Underground just like Brick Top
So I can't sleep I'd be wrong if I did stop
If I'm focused on writing a verse
You couldn't put me to sleep with a thousand and nine bottles of night nurse
It's likely I'll put ya lights out first
So I'll sleep when I'm restin in peace
Until then I've gotta bless these beats
Till I conquer the streets
If I'm conscious I can't get lost in a dream

CHORUS
I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Until they pay me right
My eyes are open wide but
I'll sleep when I'm dead

If you're drowsy remain in a slumber
My metaphors flow over ya head like a buttonless jumper
I can'#t sleep till I'm in the sky like lightning and thunder
Sometimes at night I wonder
Is pursuein this dream a blunder
Or the best thing that I ever did
I can't sleep or slip till I'm 6 feet under
Hence the song I'll sleep when I'm dead
You might only need money to survive
But my life relies on a needle instead
I wanna eat steak meals everyday
I'm sick and tired of livin on a diet of beans and bread
So believe what I said
I'll sleep when I'm where
I'll sleep when I'm what
I'll sleep when I'm dead

CHORUS
I've been up for days and nights throguh this crazy life but
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Until they pay me right
My eyes are open wide but
I'll sleep when I'm dead x2

Devlin - Marching Through The Fog Lyrics

Devlin - Marching Through The Fog

I'll still get the bars in, Devlin I'm marchin, like a soldier serving in iraq is, now watch me eliminate targets, you should have known to anticipate carnage, your attitude sticks like an arm pit, I've got bars harder then Arnolds arm is, and no man has gone red at me yet, so I'd say I'm here to stay like a scar is, I aint immigrating I'm lieing and waiting, and debating, just what I'm going to be taking, I aint faking, so don't be mistaken, like I've gone soft for the ratings, I'll take you up to the top of the dirtiest derelict block and then throw you over the railings, and the only motive was hatred.

Chorus:
Has Devlin gone soft, does Devlin think he's bad, nah he thinks he's at the top, all your bullshit makes me mad, but the drama don't stop, so alarms are ringing off, cus with the bars I'm still allot, I've been as dark as dark has got, and now I'm marching through the fog.

Devlin:
Tarantula, creep all over the beat, gargantuan and get under my feet I'll stamp on ya, I wont ramp on ya, the games like a letter and I just took my stamp honour, and if dinner aint served then I'll back 9 stella's and stamp on her, and sip on a can while I'm drowning her, while I'm pinning her down as I strangle her, I'm the murkiest white man handler, till this very day been around here, If I was plotting then I wernt like the sound of ya, you get naughty I get a bit rowdier, still you wont let them throw back a pound at ya, don't place me in a box you cocks, if there's one thing I'm not it's fucking rectangular. 'rectangular, rectangular'

Chorus:
Has Devlin gone soft, does Devlin think he's bad, nah he thinks he's at the top, all your bullshit makes me mad, but the drama don't stop, so alarms are ringing off, cus with the bars I'm still allot, I've been as dark as dark has got, and now I'm marching through the fog.

I'm marching through the fog, it's dark and I've been lost, but with the bars I'm still the boss, and now I'm back where I belong, I'm marching through the fog, it's dark and I've been lost, but with the bars I'm still the boss, keep on marching through the fog.

Devlin:
Devlin I'm back and I'm harder then nails, I was raised in a place, so foul, with my mates in my pals house wetting up papes on the scales, but now I shoot bars from the mouth, keep marching them in or keep marching them out, I'll barge you around like a bully in a playground, if you aint ready for the regime stay down, I'm going hard for the whole u.k now, I'm harder then granite large I'm titanic, infact make your faculty panic, like a madman acting erratic, with bombs in the basement and straps in the attic, a confrontation would have to be tragic, like the coppers, when he met Harry Roberts, let him have it.

Chorus:
Has Devlin gone soft, does Devlin think he's bad, nah he thinks he's at the top, all your bullshit makes me mad, but the drama don't stop, so alarms are ringing off, cus with the bars I'm still allot, I've been as dark as dark has got, and now I'm marching through the fog.

I'm marching through the fog, it's dark and I've been lost, but with the bars I'm still the boss, and now I'm back where I belong, I'm marching through the fog, it's dark and I've been lost, but with the bars I'm still the boss, keep on marching through the fog.

Devlin - End Of Days Lyrics

Devlin - End Of Days

verse 1

According to the aztec calender 2012 is the end of the world
And time will unwind with a celestual cross in in the skys in sync
And in line with itself so forget life as you know it
If you wanna view life in the eyes of a poet
Peer through mine in this fearful time
Where wages are cut but tax keeps growing
When the globe collapses on it's axis
Watch men, women and children with axes
Fighting for food cause?
And they haven't got jack shit
It looks like disasters back with a sting like elastic
But on a whole new scale now I'm talking inter galactic
Genocide in a moment of madness

Chorus
As some set on the end of days
Capital city's burning in flames
Ocean swepped your posessions away
Welcome to the end of days

As some set on end of days
There aint no escaping natures rage
And I've never seen an atheist pray
Until the approaching of judgment day

Verse 2

Buildings burning
Pilgrims verming
Children are serving
Searching for earnings
Old bill are lerking
Circle the circuit
Cctv cameras are perving
Don't park there if you aint got a permit
Murders occuring but low level crime is the type their concerned with

Yeah with a microchip bill gates is a serpent in person
You relied on emergency service 999 says a lot when you turn it
The devil in disguise all loves been deserted
I'm watching animosity spread like herpes
I visualise allien crafts decending on earthlings
And all homosapiens left in the dirt like worms when there squirming
I smell petrol burning

Chorus
As some set on the end of days
Capital city's burning in flames
Ocean swepped your posessions away
Welcome to the end of days

As some set on end of days
There aint no escaping natures rage
And I've never seen an atheist pray
Until the approaching of judgment day

Verse 3

Insight into a world of decline
Like michelle nostradammas mind
A moment of peace is harder to find
The thicker the skin the darker the mind
? accompany stars that are sent from the sky
A lot of men are repending tonight
You wasted your life now wave it goodbye
New world orders an anogram of now
So we aint got time to be standing around
Devil's on your doorstep
He's got you in a tight grip like a forestep thundering down

Devlin ft. Yasmin - Runaway Lyrics

Devlin - Runaway ft. Yasmin

[Devlin Verse 1]
A lifetime of dreaming, visualising paradise
I woke and rolled over and told my girl we`re leaving
It`s time to sacrifice a lot
cause you ain`t happy with your job
and round here it`s like nothin` seems appealing
So let me know you feel the same
throw your life into a case and walk the path from Victoria this evening
And then embark upon a path of rediscovery
searching for the fruits from the lost garden of Eden
I`m wondering if I runaway and came back another day,
then would the young men who roll with metal put the guns away
and would the devil have took charge or would the slum be safe
I pray the latter`s right for everybody`s mumsy`s sake.
and if I dissappear for years and reappear
would my natural intuition still be crystal clear?
Or would I have lost clarity?
In this trivial pursuit we`re walking through so casually


[Yasmin - Chorus]
I gotta leave, I gotta go,
there`s nothing here for me no more
I gotta be free, I gotta be
somewhere that I can just be me.
and I run run runaway, run run runaway,
run run runaway, I runaway.


[Devlin Verse 2]
We share a last cigerette, then walk into the station
purchase two tickets to an alien destination
Board the train and witness pain on all the faces of multi-cultural races
but not me and my girl we`re breaking free
like an escapist, cuz we need to escape this
and I for one have got my mind made up,
even if where we stay is make-shift
I can`t remain in this domain of semi ape sh-t, because all I see is hatred
I wonder if I dissappeared how many men would miss me
or would they all forget like I erased my name from history?
I`m still trying yet to make a break within the chain of pain and misery
and vanish off the planet like a mystery.
and if I did return would things be the same or worse?
You see the gear stick shift and then the whip reverse and I`d be straight back on my travels
Burning rubber over gravel `til we see the English Channel


[Chorus]


[Devlin Verse 3]
As the carriage pulls away, I pull my lady closer and I tell her she`s okay
‘Coz if we never broke the barricades today we`d always be afraid
and left to feel threatened in this dark and deadly maze
But now I`ve come of age, and as the train starts enterin` suburbia a smile comes across my face
The unwinding of eternal rage, that was locked up inside just like my mates behind prison gates
If I could runaway and come back another day,
I`d let the song play, on the summer`s longest day.
Kick back and just enjoy the raves, with a lager and a spliff to blaze.
If I ever contemplate returning to this crazy place
I`d leave it long enough so they don`t recognise my face
I`d let the song play, on the summer`s longest day
While I roll upon the roads along the motorway


[Chorus]
