Slowthai

Tyron Kaymone Frampton (born 18 December 1994), better known by his stage name Slowthai (stylised in lowercase), is a British rapper. Raised in Northampton, he rose to popularity in 2019 for his gritty and rough instrumentals and raw, politically charged lyrics, especially around Brexit and Theresa May's tenure as British prime minister. Slowthai placed fourth in the BBC Sound of 2019 and followed up in the same year with his debut studio album, Nothing Great About Britain. The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize; at Slowthai's 2019 Mercury Prize ceremony performance, he held a fake severed head of British prime minister Boris Johnson on stage, prompting controversy. more »

Give me a tourniquet (yeah, give me)
Metaphor, burning bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burning shit

Give me a tourniquet (a tourniquet)
Metaphor, burning bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burning shit

Break, break, break my bones
Shattered my hopes and dreams
I tatted a four-leaf clover
Escape, escape
I wish I had somewhere to go
I find shelter in hope
I walk with the ghosts like they're stitched to my clothes

I keep closing doors, so self-assured
I think we should talk, I'm becoming bored of everyone
Nothing's as they said it was

(Grrt)
Give me a tourniquet (ahh)
Metaphor, burning bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burning shit

Give me a tourniquet (yeah)
Metaphor, burning bridges
I cannot learn from it
I keep on burning shit

Break, break, break my bones
Shattered my hopes and dreams
I tatted a four-leaf clover
Escape, escape
Wish I had somewhere to go (escape)
I find shelter in hope
I walk with the ghosts like they're stitched to my clothes

I keep closing doors, so self-assured
I think we should talk, I'm becoming bored of everyone
Nothing's as they said it was

(Ahh)

You can have anything you want (everything, look at it)
Your hopes, your dreams (everything, everything)
You can have anything you want, anything you want (you can have everything)
You can have everything (everything, everything)
The world is your oyster (is your oyster)
The world is your oyster (we taking everything)

Memories, we trickle through
Belong in an institute
Use substitution
My mind is polluted, polluted, mhm
My jokes are not funny, my jokes are not
My jokes are not funny (I know that)

I'll play the wound, you play the salt
I'll play the wound, you play the salt
You ever tried swimming
With your hands tied?

I'm congested, lost in myself and my senses, dilute my
My inhibitions are lost, I feel confused (you take everything)
You take everything I had to give
I gave you more that I had to give, what's left? (Nothing)
What's left? (Nothing)
You can have everything (take it)
You can take everything (take it)
I give you everything I've got until the last fucking pound I have
Ahh

Take it all, take it all, take it and leave
Take it and leave, take it and leave, please
You can have everything (what's happening?)
