专辑 | The Logic of Chance |
Little Sammy was a kid on a council estate | |
His dad listened to the skids, the slits and the slates | |
So Sammy listened too, he loved the passion in it | |
He loved the feeling in his spine with every snare hit | |
One day his dad bought the | |
Sunday rag | |
Came with a | |
CD of Mozart and a | |
TV mag The | |
TV was broke so he put the | |
CD on and listened | |
And his eyes lit up and his smile, it glistened | |
He had never known that music could have so many layers | |
Different emotions placed upon different parts and players | |
Each week he waited for the next free | |
CD To put on his headphones and get lost completely | |
So he saved all his money, one goal in mind | |
To go down to a performance and see this live | |
It took eight long months to raise these funds | |
But the excitement was immense when that day did come | |
With his pockets full of coins he got the bus to the city | |
He watched the view become less shitty and gritty | |
Even though he was alone in this big dark place | |
Nothing could remove the smile from his face | |
When he arrived, everyone was in suits | |
Sammy stood there in tatty jeans and boots | |
He slammed his coins on the counter "one ticket please" | |
But the guy turned up his nose like he was gonna sneeze | |
He looked away and served the next couple suited and booted | |
But Sammy stood his ground and asked again less muted | |
They laughed and someone sneered "Get out of here pikey Appreciation on your level seems less than likely" | |
Tears built up in little | |
Sammy's eyes | |
It seemed his place in society he could not hide | |
His head dropped for a minute but then his head was held | |
He looked them in the eyes as he screamed and yelled | |
He said… | |
Stop being a snob with ya music | |
It's made to be heard man, anyone can use it | |
Ya get so damn precious sometimes | |
It's just rhythms and rhymes and melodies in time | |
There was this other kid, she lived on the outskirts of | |
Leicester | |
Her friends called her | |
Frankie, her parents | |
Francesca | |
I gotta admit she was kind of ignorant | |
But the kind you expect of wealth and affluence | |
No offence! | |
She just lived in a different world | |
With different priorities, a real status girl | |
Her musical taste were an | |
NME playlist | |
And anything recommended by the rich and famous | |
Now one day she was buying tunes online | |
She'd just got into | |
Beck five years out of time | |
When she went to download | |
Midnight Vultures | |
She got confused and grabbed | |
Midnight Marauders | |
The only hip hop she knew was when that boy | |
Kanye Got featured in her mag doing a track with | |
Coldplay But as she reached to turn it off | |
Q-Tip started to speak | |
And in that split second somehow he connected deep | |
She sat up, 'til god knows what time | |
Hunting for more beats, breaks and rhymes | |
She could barely believe that music so far from her role | |
Could resonate and connect to the root of her soul | |
She woke late the next day and hit the record store | |
She'd found a lot of dope tracks but she wanted more | |
She walked in and went straight to the guy at the desk | |
She said, "I'm loving De La Soul and a Tribe Called Quest I've heard good things about Rakim and KRS So I'm looking for advice on what's the best of the best" | |
The guys looked at each other, raised an eyebrow and smiled | |
And they looked back at her like a little lost child | |
Then they laughed "little posh girl getting her ghetto on? Go back to daddy little girl this ain't where you belong" | |
She felt demoralized and stupid and all alone | |
And then she screamed in their faces with a visceral tone | |
She said… | |
