Jehst Autumn Nights (feat. Confucius MC)
[Chorus: Jehst]
When the summer evenings
Turn to autumn nights
And that pretty little something
That caught your eye
Making something out of nothing
How we're living our lives
Ayo this shit ain't nothing new
We do this all of the time
[Verse 1: Jehst]
Midnight
And the barman's calling time
Ziggy Stardust
Starman
Born to shine
Billy can't rust
Solid Gold
Solomon's mine
With a scholarly mind
A rare vintage
One of a kind
While you're a cheap imitation
Off the factory line
I let Havana Club
Splash on the lime
And unwind
While the Jazz play low
And smoke dance on the breeze
I make peace with the farmer
That harvest the seeds
I make peace with the Father
The Son and the Ghost
But the Mother and the Daughter
Yeah I love ‘em the most
I'm a spirit from another world
My body's the host
I'm on some other shit
To what your propaganda promotes
[Chorus: Confucius MC]
When the summer evenings
Turn to autumn nights
And that pretty little something
That caught your eye
Making something out of nothing
How we're living our lives
Ayo this shit ain't nothing new
We do this all of the time
[Verse 2: Confucius MC]
Trying to carve a path with this mic
With my target in sight
Been writing rhymes half of my life
Put my art in the light
The highs and lows
And the lowers
Put my heart in a vice
Watching bruddas imitating
Like it's 'Stars in Their Eyes'
We feed into the deceit
So we're part of the lies
I arrive
Partly me
And partly disguised
In the city
Partly depraved
And partly deprived
Real shit
Passing away
A parting goodbye
Watching breddas lost
Wondering where the answers could lie
Some are Googling
Some of us are asking the skies
Some are so hell bent
To put their palms on the prize
When they reach too short
Become dark in their eyes
No private spaces left
Need a mask for your mind
It's the way vaster design
I mastered the rhyme
Watching the world spin
While I'm passing the time
Filling my page in
Printing bars on the lines
[Chorus: Confucius MC, Jehst]
When the summer evenings
Turn to autumn nights
And that pretty little something
That caught your eye
Making something out of nothing
How we're living our lives
Ayo this shit ain't nothing new
We do this all of the time
When the summer evenings
Turn to autumn nights
And that pretty little something
She caught your eye
Making something out of nothing
How we're living our lives
Ayo this shit ain't nothing new
We do this all of the time
When the summer evenings
Turn to autumn nights
And that pretty little something
That caught your eye
Making something out of nothing
How we're living our lives
Ayo this shit ain't nothing new
We do this all of the time
