Lyrics

VERSE 1
Classical new style, path of a new child
Naive to the ways of the world and the views found
A true sound, passionate beyond belief
Pass the ganja leaf
I smoke it 'til I've gone to sleep
I paint the pictures of my everyday
I see my soul in the broken cornerstone
It’s a sort of grey
I’m old-fashioned
Shoes and clothes matching
I floss with the tip of my hat
But I’m not flashy
You can’t catch me
I stay lost in my crew
They receive the recognition
I receive a “Who’s You?”
A cruel move but no need for retaliation
I keep my cool
I’m too smooth now to lose my patience
I’ve been gifted with the powers above
And so I write about the powers of love
I used to be in love with hip-hop
Now we’re more like friends
No more ballroom dances
For my ballpoint pens

CHORUS
Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
It’s Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
It’s Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
It’s Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action

VERSE 2
From sun blaze
To star shade
The black moon's my back room
I bring these words to life like a tattoo
The writing’s on the wall
where my pictures are engraved
Show the greatest of them all
Kept the humble in his ways
Y’all be playin yourself out cool
Just be pluggin’ in the formulas
and then predictin’ that you blowin’ up
You better open up your eyes
see the beauty and the music of my brain
I’ll be rappin’ till the grave
New waves of Coltrane
A red splash of dead jazz
It captivates my mind
And it won’t pass
I struggle to alleviate the pain
I’m stuck inside the grooves
Of my vinyl
to the signs of a brighter day
Find the way, right away
Away with all these words
All they do is hold me back from what I wanna say
I leap past ‘em
Move in a sleek fashion
Write lyrics in my sleep
And hope that my dreams catch ‘em

CHORUS
Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
It’s Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
It’s Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
It’s Ni-eve, na na Ni-eve, Ni-eve, Ni-eve,
A revolutionary action
