WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We’re currently obsessing over this new release from hip-hop artist Trippz. The singer/rapper grabbed our attention with their vocal performance on their latest release titled ‘Skyfall’.

LYRICS:

Days go bye 
Too much dumb shit taking up my time
And I don’t know why 
I put up with it cuz and say that I’m fine 
It’s always been waking in circles 
I don’t know who I can turn to
I feel my heart and my head drift apart 
I never found patience in virtue 
I'm pissed at the hand I been dealt sometimes 
I realize that makes me myself yet I’m
In a battle with my mind 
It’s a fight to be aligned, fuck it’s a fight to stay alive 
I can’t quit now cuz I made it too far 
Even when I’m here and everyones gone 
I don’t know if I will ever belong 
But I keep keepin on 
Yeah, I feel so alone sometimes but i know it’ll be alright 
There’s no where to go sometimes but I know that I’m on my way 
Even if the sky falls 
I know they can’t take my soul 
Even if the sky falls 
I know they can’t take my soul, yeah
It’s all been a blur 
Everyday feel right on the verge
Of a break down or a break through 
I don’t know man I’m lost with my words 
I just can’t say what I’m feeling 
I’m not okay but I’m healing 
Taking some time to myself 
And I don’t know until when
Life isn’t always that easy sometimes 
I feel okay for a second then I’m 
Freakin out, I just can’t hear what you speaking bout 
Momma I feel like I’m dying 
But I ain’t givin up yet 
Tryna find the up in the upset 
Tryna find beauty in the mess
And I'm tryna find me outside of my head 
Yeah, I feel so alone sometimes but i know it’ll be alright 
There’s no where to go sometimes but I know that I’m on my way 
Even if the sky falls 
I know they can’t take my soul 
Even if the sky falls 
I know they can’t take my soul, yeah
And I wait for my life to change 
And I’m wide awake, ay
And I wait for my life to change 
And I’m wide awake 
Yeah, I feel so alone sometimes but i know it’ll be alright 
There’s no where to go sometimes but I know that I’m on my way 
Even if the sky falls 
I know they can’t take my soul 
Even if the sky falls 
I know they can’t take my soul, yeah
Yeah yeah, I know they can’t take my soul 
Take my soul 
Yeah, yeah I know they can’t take my soul 
Take my soul, Take my soul 
They can’t take my soul
