E’Flash: Imam Bilal-Firmin p.k.a. E’ Flash a.k.a. The Eloquent Journalist developed a rhyming style that is similar to no other. Flash, a product of the 120 Taurus Buildings in Roxbury, MA always had an ear for music. After moving to Cambridge growing up on Boston legends like Ed-O.G., Guru, and R.S.O., Flash found a permanent home in the rap game. Flash is the feeling you get when a jet flies above you leaving your heart racing a thousand beats per minute. He is the unexpected; in these times if a jet flies over you, you won’t know whether to duck or run and that’s what Flash brings to the game, the unknown. Whether it is a different voice or a new style Flash will never give you too much of one thing. Flash brings a smoother/calmer style to match Vital’s raspy and more energetic flow. The Morris Brown graduate has plans to take NBS to the next level by way of experience, patience, and hot music.
V-Knucks: Rahim Muhammad p.k.a Rah Vital a.k.a. V Knucks a.k.a. The Fierce Analyst has come a long way since his childhood memories of pushing a big wheel in Madison Park Village, a town home complex in Roxbury, MA. In early elementary school he also moved to Cambridge and rapidly developed his own lyrics and raw style at the age 12. With influences such as Kool G. Rap and Nas, Vital’s flow ads raw/witty combination to compliment the more melo-dramatic style and voice of E’Flash. Vital, meaning important or essential sees himself as a vital part of today’s rap game. He has influenced many listeners from D.C., where he attached Howard U, to Japan via mp3.com. To this day he continues to inspire upcoming and established lyricist. Vital is what the industry is missing right now, his rhyme scheme is crazy and if let in the game he could easily be one of the best emcees to ever touch a mic!
Nothing but Soldiers
N.B.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of nothing else
Why did you leave the baggage under your bed
Whether you give up
You´ll have nothing left
What lays ahead the crack´s of you and them
Nothing to hold nothing but make believe
They gone and caught you out
Bring what you´ve got bring all your love
Nothing but a show they gone and caught
Constantly turning round
Hiding behind the scheme
Propaganda fills you with your own words
Faces are crying faces are dying
Underneath a forgotten world
Nothing to hold nothing but make believe
Nothing but a show they gone and caught you out
Look into the eyes sitting underneath
Look into the eyes sitting underneath oh
Sitting inside this flight
Thinking of nothing else
Why did you leave that baggage under your bed
Why did you leave the baggage under your bed
The lyrics to N.B.S.'s song "Nothing but Soldiers" paint a picture of someone reflecting on their past actions and choices. The imagery of sitting inside a flight represents being alone with one's thoughts, contemplating the consequences of their decisions. The mention of leaving baggage under the bed symbolizes unresolved issues or emotional burdens that have been ignored or neglected. The line "Whether you give up, you'll have nothing left" suggests that giving up on addressing these issues will only result in a feeling of emptiness or loss.
The phrase "What lays ahead the cracks of you and them" highlights the division or tension between the individual and the others around them. It suggests that there are hidden conflicts or fractures within relationships, further emphasizing the need to confront and address these issues.
The repeated mention of "nothing but make believe" and "nothing but a show" suggests that the person has been living in a state of illusion or pretending to be someone they're not. They have been caught out by others, exposing their facade. The lines "Faces are crying, faces are dying, underneath a forgotten world" convey a sense of sadness and despair, indicating that the consequences of their actions have had a detrimental effect on themselves and those around them.
In summary, "Nothing but Soldiers" explores themes of self-reflection, the consequences of one's actions, and the need to confront unresolved issues. It reminds listeners of the importance of authenticity and facing the truth, rather than hiding behind illusions or pretense.
