about

This track simply states my motto as an emcee. The hook for this is like my mission statement.

The verses are just me rapping for love of rapping. I am not directly trying to even convey a message except that I love rap and I can rap hahaha. Well that is not totally true, in the verse there are all kinds of messages if you look closely. I love rap because as an emcee you can cleverly embed stuff that only a few will catch and some no one will catch on my me which actually kinda makes me smile to myself. It's like there are internal hidden meanings and I am not gonna tell you, I will let you come to your own conclusions ha!

The last verse is a piece called "True colours" whenever I got to schools be it primary, secondary, colleges or universities I always do this acapella and ask how many colours are mentioned in the verse. Part of it is based on a true story

lyrics

yeah! I'm on PLTFRM SE7EN
it's Nova, yo check it uh! I've got....

rhymes for your mind
beats for your feet
flows for your soul
lyrics for your spirit

My style is so ill I make medicine sick
it's so real, I draw blood from a brick
I wrote rhymes deep in my sleep
deep in between the sheets
I freestyled to my own heartbeat
I freesyled to the rhythm of my feet walking down the street
I freestyled sitting on the toilet seat
it's the joker of the pack, I hold the 4 aces
royally flushing emcees out of falsely secured spaces
take a hint to make a sprint to catch my drift I'm kinda swift
I uplift with my gift I'm working the night shift
the scriptures are inscripted like hieroglyphics
on the lyrics of the manuscript that I flip
with immaculate conceptions
I bring accurate perception
mental correction for those deceived in deception
yeah, it's Nova, one of London's finest
one of the nicest on mic devices with..

rhymes for your mind
beats for your feet
flows for your soul
lyrics for your spirit [x4]

Beats rhymes and life
that's what it is
I grab the mic
and handle my biz [x4]

So many times, i've heard them say think out of the box
that I'm thinking out of the box of thinking out of the box, thus
I come storming out the block
it's a race against time, I'll break your stopwatch
if you're clocking me
oh please stop watching me
OK pay attention 'cause the fee is free
actually it's not, 'cause time is money
so spending time observing is an investment, trust me
they say if you're too serious, you won't chart well
I guess I've got to lighten up like vybz kartel
I was that class clown, I played that part well
whether I'm laughing or crying it's heartfelt
I speak flames, that makes cold hearts melt
i'm Guy Fawkes but love makes my bonfire swell
I was once spellbound but Truth broke my spell
I dont need to spell it out 'cause it aint hard to tell

rhymes for your mind
beats for your feet
flows for your soul
lyrics for your spirit [x4]

Woooo!
Yeah it's Nova
I'm on PLTFRM SE7EN
yeah! check it! yo! uh!

It aint always black or white
sometimes there's grey area
This makes some folks blue
and feel life is scarier
I don't mind grey area
cos see I am colourful
not just because of my brown skin so wonderful
I was sipping orange juice watching the colour purple
The sun hung in the sky like a gold circle
This is a stolen moment call me a bandit
you've caught me in the act,
you've caught me red handed
I was contemplating on how I can make some green
When a song from pink came on my tv screen
My mind drifted I thought of the indigo 02
When I was at an award show and trouble brewed
Violence broke out by a crowd I was swept
Into the female loo with a blonde and brunette
Their faces were pale and they were scared to death
But my thoughts were crystal clear as I held my breath
I escaped and I saw some crimson splashes
On the shirt of this guy who had caught some slashes
So many things are fake like false eye lashes
But I see your true colours in glimpses and flashes
I've got....

rhymes for your mind
beats for your feet
flows for your soul
lyrics for your spirit [x4]

Beats rhymes and life
that's what it is
I grab the mic
and handle my biz [x4]
