[00:00.59]Emotionless the city lies
[00:07.63]Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
[00:14.20]The dull, the dark shades on my day
[00:18.89]I live inside this place
[00:27.02]Locked up inside my metal cage
[00:34.21]Always tense and filled with rage
[00:40.58]Above the concrete fields below
[00:45.45]With you I wanna go, wanna go
[00:50.19]Music is my sanctuary
[00:51.45]Music is my blanket
[00:53.18]I see only what I wanna see
[01:00.46]I'll be only what I wanna be
[01:11.69]My blanket covers me yeah
[01:15.34]
[01:16.85]Yeah, check it
[01:19.48]Now as a yout man I was body poppin breakin on the lino
[01:23.12]Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro
[01:26.41]Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro
[01:29.84]But now my ends meet in the best way that I know
[01:33.04](Hat, snare, kick) and the beats that go boom
[01:36.43]See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
[01:39.42]All the beats and melodies keep realities at bay
[01:42.81]But what happens when the records done and starts to fade away
[01:45.89]Fade away
[01:46.84]Alone within myself again
[01:52.08]I try to veil away my pain
[02:00.12]The dirty grey surrounding me 'round
[02:05.07]And now I hear no sound...
[02:08.57]
[02:13.17]I feel like Melle Mel from way back in the days
[02:15.85]As I wonder how I keep from going under
[02:18.28]I got trouble on my mind like my name is Chuck D
[02:22.44]And like Marvin Gaye it makes me want to holler
[02:25.54]When the music hits me I feel no pain
[02:28.87]That's why I got to put you on again and again
[02:32.21]I take the needle off the technics and put it in my vein
[02:35.76]All my troubles get crushed as the rush hits my brain
[02:39.15]And away goes trouble down the drain. I see only what I wanna see
[02:47.02]I be only who I wanna be
[02:57.93]
[02:58.34]My blanket covers me
[03:02.99]Music is my sanctuary
[03:04.21]Music is my blanket
[03:06.43]I see only what I wanna see
[03:13.31]I be only who I wanna be
[03:24.63]My blanket covers me
[03:29.49]Music is my sanctuary
[03:30.60]Music is my blanket
[04:00.19]You are my living world
[04:06.52]You are my living world
[04:13.14]You are you are you are my
[04:16.88]My only living world
