Marlowe – Tales From The East lyrics
[Intro: Solemn Brigham & Samples]
Would a madman have been as wise as this?
Let's go
I think I'll tag along
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Hey, talkin' bout it, quit talkin' bout it

[Verse 1: Solemn Brigham]
Straight through the floor, I've fallen in
Came through the door, straight stumblin'
Still watch the film be double length
If it ain't 'bout the script then it don't trouble with me
Came from the east, brought you tales from the beach
Pounds for the cheap, got my town by the leash
Stayed out of reach 'cause they aim for the knees
L paid bail, made way for my release
See, I came from afar just to start the regime with the lights on the dash in the car with the leak and the brakes, I don't
Pump, so my wheels don't screech
Gave it so much, but it still looks bleak

[Chorus: Solemn Brigham]
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide, been watching that sci-fi
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide, been watching that sci-fi
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide, been watching that sci-fi
Do or die


[Bridge: Sample]
Maybe I told you too much
Maybe I—

[Verse 2: Solemn Brigham]
Still with the peeps that I struggled with
Every new gig, just another whip
And I almost slipped, wheres the fundament
Most coveted, there's no doublin'
Me, loose chain on the door off the hinge, don't peek
Second-floor full of beats when the house was asleep
Egg crates on the wall so the neighbors don't speak
Day and night bleed, no rest for the week
Low rates for the takes, hot plates for the cheap
Much pain no gain, still remain in the league
New bank, same state, still blank on the receipt
Tell me what it is, tell you what it's gon' be
Came across the bridge and landed on my two feet
Almost did a bid but got some funding from the team
Not enough bread, too many heads I need feed
Strength or the weak, which side will you see?

[Chorus: Solemn Brigham]
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide, been watching that sci-fi
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide, been watching that sci-fi
I hit from the blind side, I live on the hind side
Stay with my eyes wide, been watching that sci-fi
Do or die


[Outro: Samples]
I'm beginning to feel that you wan't to go with him
I do
