Sing Along

from PLTFRM SE7EN EP [SIDE A] by Karl Nova

lyrics

I'm on PLTFRM SE7EN
bobbing my head
doing my dance
join me shake a leg
my train of thought
is riding the track
step away from the edge
MIND THE GAP!

In this biz there are many illusions
to me some perceptions seem weird
I can't lie I've been so disillusioned
there's so much confusion in here
when I was younger I was naive
I will be real man I had no clue
so many things I blindly believed
so many lies I believed were true
things used to be so simple
now they've become complicated
you find out how life is fickle
I want to go back to the basics
we can't go back to the past
no, we cannot rewind time
everything is happening fast
so, I'm reminding my mind
the reason I got into this
was because love for this was born in my heart
through different seasons I drift
I document my life in this art
these songs are snapshots of moments
with no filter, get the picture?
I share 'em with you, you can own it
I'm off kilter, but they hit ya

Deep in your soul you feel it
and you want to respond
so do not fight the feeling
you can make this your song
so why don't you just join me
you want to I can tell
sometimes I sing off key
but I won't stop

Oh well, I won't stop even I don't sell
and some think that my raps are crap
even if my name don't ring bells
my train of thought will keep riding tracks
so mind the gap
step away from the edge
do you hear that?
that's the hook
sing along, closed mouths don't get fed

It's my story, it's my song
everybody sing along
Sing it loud and sing it strong
everybody sing along
I won't stop I will go on
everybody sing along
let's lift up our voice as one
everybody sing along

everybody (sing along) [x8]

I'm on PLTFRM SE7EN
waiting for my train
this train of thought
is running through my brain
my train of thought
is riding the track
step away from the edge
MIND THE GAP!

In this biz there are many illusions
to me some perceptions seem weird
I can't lie I've been so disillusioned
there's so much confusion in here
i stripped away all the labels
I'm not what you think I am
they didn't make you, they can't break you
i say that to myself as I jam
I don't want to belabour the point
just say I'm an artist, that will do fine
your expectations I disappointment
i cannot be tightly defined
I define what I do
what I do doesn't define me
I'm just living my truth
your mind cannot confine me
beats, rhymes and life
It is what it is
I'll keep shining bright
No dull moments are gonna dim this
I'm exercising this gift
I've gotta stay in shape
I work it out and stay fit
I push rhymes like weight

Deep in your soul you feel it
and you want to respond
so do not fight the feeling
you can make this your song
so why don't you just join me
you want to I can tell
sometimes I sing off key
but I won't stop

Oh well, I won't stop even I don't sell
and some think that my raps are crap
even if my name don't ring bells
my train of thought will keep riding tracks
so mind the gap
step away from the edge
do you hear that?
that's the hook
sing along, closed mouths don't get fed

It's my story, it's my song
everybody sing along
Sing it loud and sing it strong
everybody sing along
I won't stop I will go on
everybody sing along
let's lift up our voice as one
everybody sing along

everybody (sing along) [x8]

I wrote and produced this thinking about all the times I have written songs and made beats while riding the London underground trains. Riding the underground trains is like a metaphor for where I am at as an artist. I have embraced the fact that I might never be widely known beyond the niche that I am in and it doesn't matter. I am doing me on my terms. I am on my journey. It is a journey of discovery and expression. In some ways it could be yours too sing sing along with me!
