Track 11 of Tuka’s 2nd solo album ‘Feedback Loop’.
“It’s pretty much about me writing a song about rap industry but not writing a song about rap. I don’t really like to write a lot of songs about rap but, you know, I did”
“I got the hook from an old song I used to do with Rumpunch…”

[Verse 1]
So fly when I glide in
Like a bow to a five string
Violin, I be vibing
Chimes in the wind, blow a fire kiss
Dynamite flow, kinda like dope
Wake up, face up to what life is, shit
Everyday on the grind
Gotta pay for your time
That's not what life is, shit
Yo, I'm making it mine
Where in the dark I slave to the light
Can't quit till the art gets mastered
[?]
I'll take a motherfucking flame to the mic
Say what you like
Yo, that's the heat
Straight of the market, the target
Smash the beat, at the park
Giving people what they came to see
Pack the fuzz till we pay the fee
Let me ride this wave, let me ride this wave
I could, spell it out for the heads who count
But, I'm afraid that it's all in vain
[Hook 1] x2
Let me ride this wave, let me ride this wave
I could, spell it out for the heads who count
But, I'm afraid that it's all in vain
[Hook 2] x4
I talk 'em, tell 'em, talk 'em, tell 'em, yo
I talk 'em, tell 'em, talk 'em, tell 'em, what
[Verse 2]
I'll be on that yes yes y'all tip
Or whatever heads call it
It's the 90's no more kid
Call it, till you forward, on that bossy shit
I'll take an all pitch, I'm a cocky prick
Raw doggin' it, on that monster tip
Writing's on the wall like [?]
Eye to eye [?]
Look at me now, holla
Imma shine a sixteen cheque
Scope of the system
Kids with disposable incomes
Got your hero's broke dance
Tryna make a dollar out of 15 cents
I couldn't give a fuck about swag, aye
How about that mate
I make a hater wanna lactate
Drop an outback type of rapper
Up upon a soundtrack
Rhyme nuts around a rat race
Let me ride this wave, let me ride this wave
I could, spell it out for the heads who count
But, I'm afraid that it's all in vain
[Hook 1] x2
[Outro] x4
Something on my mind I just can't define
