Blood Sweat And Tears Lyrics

Blood Sweat And Tears by Lowkey

Blood Sweat And Tears Lyrics

Year of Release: 2011
Verse 1: Klashnekoff
    • As lightning strikes and thunder pounds,
    • Over the grey skies of East London town,
    • Prophecy K returns from the underground,
    • Signified by the peoples crying, trumpet sounds,
    • Yeah the system it tried to shut me down,
    • But I been on my ting before Onyx was flinging guns around,
    • Blood, sweat, and tears for years,
    • It feels like my careers been in the dumping ground,
    • Yeah, this is how hunger sounds,
    • And I'm the hunter now, 'Lash the lion heart,
    • A.K.A. the man behind the iron mask
    • For ten years straight, I've been raising the iron bar
    • Tryna breathe the life back into this dyin' art
    • So why try and par? When you'll meet the same fate as that lion Scar
    • This game is fake; full of two-faced lying ras.
    • Who would sell their soul and arse just to climb the charts
    • Yea, but me, I put in too much time in the graft
    • Refinin' my craft for labels to sign me for a minor advance
    • Picture K'Lash, mimin' on Trance
    • Now picture Dr. Dre beats/'Lash rhymin' with Starks
    • It's all fate and I got mine in my grasp
    • They're all snakes, let 'em die in the past
    • But who knows what the future holds?
    • These N.W.O. soldiers will probably shoot me cold
    • All because the truth was told
    • You should know I did it from the heart.
Hook x2
    • I'm still here, pushing after several years,
    • I'm still here, standing strong, never in fear,
    • I'll be still here after the dust settles and clears,
    • I'll be still here after the blood, sweat and the tears,
Verse 2: Lowkey
    • I don't do this for the happy ravers or the aggy haters
    • I do this for the warriors and the gladiators
    • Do this for those whose lives you never cared about
    • Can't pronounce their names, their origins or their whereabouts
    • Those brought up around tragedy and sadness
    • Who adjusted and found normality in the madness
    • Fight the power 'til I'm out of breath like Malcolm X
    • You empower the powerful, I empower the powerless
    • They'll play you on the radio if you rap about a Gucci belt
    • But rap about the government; you might as well shoot yourself
    • Industry fairies say I rap about conspiracy theories
    • Just to hide the fact that they lyrically fear me
    • Got that eye of a tiger, the heart of a lion
    • The mind of a lifer, my stance is defiant
    • I rise like a phoenix, immediate from the ashes
    • My existence is inconvenient for the masses
    • Though we are equal, I despise an imitation
    • I live for my people and die for liberation
    • I stand as a visionary; some have got plans of killin' me
    • To literally vanish me physically like Aborigines
    • Hannibal with the mask, an animal with the bars
    • I'm grappling with my shackles, I channel it through my art
    • Feel it in the ambience, champion, heavyweight
    • My life is nothin' but my pride is somethin' that you can never take
    • They think I'm elusive or think I'm a nuisance
    • I swear these major labels must think that I'm stupid
    • Keep your 360's you're convincing these dudes with
    • Like I'll give you the blueprint for pimpin' my music...
    • I say that like K'Lash, he's another lion,
    • Every hardship from getting scarred to my brother dying,
    • Spit all of it with or without a big audience,
    • Through the Blood, Sweat & Tears I stand victorious!
Hook x2
  • I'm still here, pushing after several years,
  • I'm still here, standing strong, never in fear,
  • I'll be still here after the dust settles and clears,
  • I'll be still here after the blood, sweat and the tears,
