Lost In The Sound
Chill Bump Lyrics

Kid we been around for ages
We have been around in the music industry for a long time

We've been through different styles and phases
We have experimented with various styles and types of music over the years

Fiddled round with riddles, sounds and phrases
We have played around with lyrics, sounds, and poetic expressions to create a unique musical style

Been ripping out some pages
We have been writing and producing a lot of songs over the years, discarding some and keeping others

Been to distant towns and cities, from ripping crowds on stages
We have traveled to various parts of the world and performed in front of large audiences

To saving pennies for equipment with our lousy wages
We have struggled to make ends meet and save money to invest in better musical equipment despite earning low wages

The way we live is now courageous
Our lifestyle, which involves taking risks and pursuing our passion for music, is pretty brave

‘Cause who really does it?
We are questioning if anyone really pursues their musical dreams by making sacrifices and taking risks

Makes music, stays futureless, fuck it?
We are asking if people who create music and don't plan for the future despite the risk of failure are doing the right thing

We've got no food in the stomach
We don't have enough to eat and are struggling financially

But couldn't care about the fools at the summit
We don't care about the rich and powerful people who are at the top of society

We do this for our myspace friends
We are creating music for our online friends and fans

The folks that hope that we might change trends
Our fans expect us to create new trends in music with our unique style

We Young, annoyed, hungry, unemployed
We are young, frustrated, hungry, and jobless

We just wanna rock a show and hope that everyone enjoyed
We want to perform live and entertain people while hoping that they like our music

The mic's a one inch void away from my lip
The microphone is very close to my mouth, and I am ready to start rapping/performing

So, drop the beat so I can bust my shit
Start playing the music so I can start performing and give my best shot

I'm a spit it out, bottom to the top
I am going to rap and express my thoughts, starting from the bottom of my heart

Whether the crowd wanna get up, get out, follow me or not
It's up to the audience if they want to listen to me and follow my lead or not

Fed up of trying to lead a better life dog
I am tired of trying to improve my life, my fellow human

What a fella gotta do to get a tight job?
What does one have to do to get a good job that pays well?

Beg in order to get a bit of cheddar like bob?
Do I have to beg and plead in order to earn a little bit of money, like a beggar on the street?

And scheme on whoever's bit of bread I might rob?
Should I resort to stealing from others to get my hands on the bread/wealth they have?

Get it right, I use my little head and fight hard
I am determined to work hard and use my intelligence to succeed

But hell is always round the corner where the weather's like fog
There are always unknown obstacles and challenges ahead, especially when things are uncertain.

I don't wanna study, be a clever white slob
I don't want to study and become a dull, educated person without passion

I wanna write songs, life won't spare the right cards
I want to create music despite life not always providing the best opportunities

Where the mic y'all? cause my pen is solid
I'm asking for the microphone because my writing and verses are good

I made many songs with the money in my petty wallet!
I've created numerous songs with whatever little money I have saved

I made an album, plenty love it and plenty want it
I made an album that many people like and want to own

But I don't anyone that's ready to spend a damn penny on it
However, nobody is willing to pay for it even though it's popular

Gulping alchohol, withholding pressure
I drink alcohol excessively to cope with the stress and pressure of life

Homies tell me hold your head up, I can barely hold together
My friends and peers encourage me to stay strong, but I am barely coping with life's hardships

Holding my hands out for scraps like your local beggar
I am penniless and desperate for money, begging to stay afloat

I'm broke, I'm fed up and my shitty goals are pretty hopeless fella
I am poor, disillusioned, and my life goals and ambitions seem unattainable

Family likes to make me feel like a failure
My family puts me down and makes me feel like I have failed in life

But I believe in what I do so fuck you and what they tell ya
I have faith in my music, and I refuse to accept their negative opinions and insults

Lonely with a walkman on, walking around
I often feel lonely while walking around listening to music on my Walkman

Talking to myself, feeling lost in the sound
I talk to myself and get lost in the emotions and feelings conveyed through music

Life brings me down, in dreams of sound
Life's troubles and obstacles bring me down, but music lifts me up and gives me hope
