Life For Me

from ColorVoid by Q-Dot

/

lyrics

[Hook]
VD is the life for me
Not tryna be what I see on TV VD is the life for me
Not Malay, Indian or Chinese
Cuz I'm color void Uh
I'm color void Cuz I'm color void
I'm color void

[Verse 1]
From Tampines I rose
Memories I hold close to me
At NTUC for groceries
That's Fairprice, no matter what you call it
We see the same things
That's what makes us Singaporean
So I begin
Pointing out the similarities
between myself
and the man standing right next to me
Without mentioning race or religion
Regardless of what it is
Happiness is what we chasing
Oppression is what we hating
I'll say it here and now
Fuck racial harmony
We need national unity
Against the real threat,
Instead of yellow brown or black
Everybody's colorvoid
Rep the fuckin the void deck
Don't mistake it for
juz another marketing gimmick
Want respect
swear to death that I'm coming to get it
Working for the voice to influence the choice
of the next generation to make some fuckin noise

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

Not the best Chinese rapper
cuz I'm just the best
They label my hard work, clockwork
and I'm racing hands
This life is 25/8, to me you can't relate
cuz I don't let a YouTube comment get to my head
And I know you been waiting for me to speed this up
It's Q on 9s beats, shining like a star, 5 ain't enough
Mainstream as aunties squeezing on MRTs
as underground as the same things coming 2017
And I'm still living life VD
Culture you'll never take from me
Bout to just fucking blow up and
show up on your TV screen
Living proof that you can chase your dreams
Cuz being too practical's like
never swimming when you're at the sea
Tough out the rough waves
defeat makes you salt-taste
but spit out your rhymes and stay biding your time
They doubting you? Make em pay
The time is now, todays the day
Not asking anymore
Drown em all, with the fucking wave

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
They say I'm hungry
Damn right I'm hungry
Worked too damn hard to be always tryna speak humbly
Walked too damn far to be turning around and running
From the critics saying I should quit
cuz they never did it
All the sacrifices and stress
No disguise, I'm on a quest
To write the stories told
Decades on when I get old
See, changing an entire culture's
not a one man show
Understand it takes time to execute
a well-planned goal
An army of Malays behind me
And I call em bros
Race is not an issue when within you lies soul
So widen up your vision
like crows fed by uncles
at windows
The path we're heading down seems narrow
Uh
The time's up to make a stand Instead of each other fight them
Those who try to divide
Only cause us to multiply
Peep game when you listen
See the cracks in a broken system
Picking up the pieces right now and I'm screaming out

[Hook]
