Mud Sun - Mine The Gap lyrics

Check the lyrical adventure as I'm travel writing with a sense of rhythm I'm as sensitive as vikings when inviting heads to listen To this abstract expressionist rap Like Jackson Pollock When he spreads the pigment This is Baba Brinkman on the Underground in London, England Surrounded by the sound of competition causing constant friction A lot of guys probably tryin' to strive for the top positions in their offices And on this ride their eyes are mono vision Crawling on the bodies of the hottest vixens probably thinkin' “Ima get my knob licked by all these women, once I've got the auspicious job description Plus the cars and riches for the proper proposition” And I'm thinking all these bankers and doctors and lawyers in training Probably have a whole lot to offer you gorgeous And without the enormous wallet and other resources All I can offer is locked in my cortex Like the knowledge that the starving artist can rock your entire corpus Like wild horses that never let you settle for a child's portion But I ain't sittin' on the train stunned like James Blunt So I get off at the next stop to go try to record this Please mine the gap Please mine the gap Please don't disturb this man when he's trying to rap Please stand clear of the closing doors The closing doors determine my chosen course When I infiltrate the city like a Trojan horse The next stop is Marble Arch Please mine the gap Please mine the gap Please stand clear of the closing doors On this public transit labyrinth in London I'm standing on the subway crammed in With a bunch of other with a bunch of other average companions Then someone Islamic steps onto the carriage Clutching a lumpy package and everybody panics So we gotta stop the train and wait for the cops to come And confiscate his Double Club Sandwich I got my iPod on watching bumping Cut Chemist As they let him off with a warning And now he's got a suspended sentence And it's obvious to everybody now that he's innocent Like 99% of his religious and ethnic brethren But that never prevented these British citizens from letting their suspicions Get the better of their stiff upper lips And forgetting the principles of liberty and justice just this once To protect the parents of their kids And now I just missed my connection And I was on my way to meet up with this lady So that I could try to get some Feminine affection But instead, I'm directionless Like the rest of my generation So instead of wasting my free time chasing a feline I spend the day at a demonstration at the train station Waving a Peace sign Please mine the gap Please mine the gap Please don't disturb this man when he's trying to rap Please stand clear of the closing doors The closing doors determine my chosen course When I infiltrate the city like a Trojan horse Please mine the gap Please mine the gap Please stand clear of the closing doors Underfoot, underground cultures cross fertilize I stand under a dirty sign and watch bodies hurtle by Behind gla** etched with the tags of graf artists Who see the works work the circuit of the circle line Bags are snatched Other bags hang under worker's eyes Bags full of blues, coffee and overtime We stare at each others shoes 'Cause shoes designate a certain pride We've all bought the merchandise And when the train stops at Totteridge & Whetstone We all look up and watch a nervous guy get off his bench And get in line and step in Let's call him Kevin Blushing at the couple showing signs of affection Kevin sits and tries to hide his erection Behind a paperback entitled “Pride and Perfection” Hunched spine like a question, he wants to chat But people are unreachable across the gap The gap between the seats which allows pa**engers to read The Metro without touching knees with the next bloke The gap between the dweeb with their legs closed And the pin striped white collar fiending to get coke Up in the gap between the office and the strip club Hopin' it ends in a co*ktail and a dick rub It's the gap between a man that enters with a pimp strut And the lady reading “Heat” that wants a nip and tuck All citizens of the world just different hair-dos Step across the gap bruv I dare you Credits
