[Intro]
Exactly
But do you think that's like a good idea for it to be?
I think that's a great idea man
For it to be called the Red Signal
I like that
'Cause then I was thinking
As a project yeah?
As a project yeah yeah yeah, so all the stuff I've been recording here, it's like I didn't want it to sound too polished 'cause like I wanted it to sound raw. Like you know when you hear like someone's mixtape, like the first mixtape they've ever put out? It's got the content but it just doesn't sound polished, 'cause the album has to be polished 'cause it's a fucking album but with a mixtape you've got that freedom and that's why I was doing that with all the filtering and
Yeah I like that man, I like that a lot
It's a weird idea but
Na it's a good idea man, definitely
Do you think that could fly?
Yeah 100% man
That would-
I've never seen it done before as well, do you know what I mean
Especially with the fucking-
Dank, alright then
You've got the green light and that
Ha
[Verse]
Yeah, yeah, uh, uh
Yeah, yeah
Alright, yo
I'm back in the zone
Just me, the pen, the pad, my mind and my track on my phone
It's a classic approach
I've quit the weed so I just lick up a fag and I smoke
Light it, inhale and breath 'til it hits the back of my throat
I feel anxious at home
Can't make tracks on my own
But when two minds collaborate, some intricat patterns are shown
I've lost the individual drive, it has to be known
Depression knocked me off, caused me to get back on the road
I feel fucking insane
But there's nothing to blame
I've took some antidepressants but feel nothing has changed
The other day I did consider jumping in front of a train
But then my parents sprang to mind and I couldn't put them through pain
They worry about me every day, they ask what I've been doing
They love me as a human regardless of making music
They've taught me life is difficult but you must hustle through it
Don't give up on your dreams and shine because you are able to do it
Yeah I'm back in the zone
There's a chance I could blow
Carry on rapping at shows
And wait until my salary grows
Take it back to the roads
Take it back to my home
Manchester, the place that made me into the man that you know
Made me the rapper you play at home while you're having a smoke
Jamming with your closest friends and having a laugh and a joke
In regards to life it never went how I planned it to go
But this is the path that I chose
One that I'm happy to run, finally I'm home
I've been defeated way too many times
Beaten way too many times
Now the excess weight is off my mind
I've been threatened way too many times
Being completely honest, I'm amazed that I'm alive
I've been underestimated way too many times
Now I'm making songs a massive range of people like
And I could have gave up way too many times
But reputation's on the line
And I'm too great to be behind
Mad, so I'm back in the zone
With a pad full of notes, intelligent grammar and pros
And if nobody gets behind me, I'll stand on my own
A manic artist, I just can't leave this canvas alone
I've practised every single day now my pallet is dope
I can see the..ha aw
Man I'm loving this tune
Better watch out for the album, it's coming real soon
Should be fine, yeah
