This opening track off of Fatima’s debut album comes out swinging, with bombastic horns and a hypnotic bassline sampled from 100% Pure Poison’s track from 1974, “Puppet on a Chain”
. Fatima makes it her own with heartfelt vocals drawn from her life experience.
[Verse]
In the midst of time I have found myself
Follow back the eye, spreading fear and stress
Pulls me to wake up, resurrect myself
Been tasting that sweetness but I ain't reach the last step
Somewhere beneath clouds I shall find my strength
Had enough of chasing dreams while pimped by [?]
Embracing my now, can't live with regrets
Love and peace tranquility inhale it baby yeah
[Chorus]
Sometimes will go wrong
Feel like I could do better
Changing ways of mine
I want a different life
All the girls [?] from home
Say that I could do better
Opening my mind
Into a brighter time
[Verse]
Inhibition lies deep within oneself
Gotta catch it fast before you give to someone else
Constant war inside got your brain on melt
Easier to give advice than take from someone else
And I often do contradict myself
Maybe it's from all this thinking - I'm going insane
Time will pass us by, faster than the light
That's dragging around us so go, don't skip in mind [?]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I can do better
