I'm British and I couldn't even stand to listen to British hip hop... that was until I came across high focus and a truck load of dope artists, now I can't get enough. Given me hope!
Yo, I’m burning up with passion Man I feel like my heart’s aflame Something that I truly feel Something that I can’t escape Stuck with my soul searching Mentally I’m far away Life’s like a gamble Cause a dealer Got a card to play Reflecting on a life That’s led by many May be hard to face When you’re spinning like a hurricane Everything is much the same Clutching at my food for thought And cutlery to make me sane Two working legs Yet I’m struggling to run away A blissful glimpse of paradise Might see to make me Change my way Even just a holiday Some could say I’m sound awake When every night I go and dream I see it like a break away Deep below the surface Raise my finger tips to scrape the face Mother Nature’s child of war Surfing on a seismic wave Nothing out there’s predetermined There could be a time and place For everything in life, so wait Man it’s yours so seize, change your fate Never wait when the moments there Reveal the face Bare reflections of a frozen stare Eyes rolling backwards Both the victim and the killer man They’ve both been scared It’s so tragic I’m mind travelling Lost in this labyrinth Stuck with my thought patterns Searching for happiness Trying to find a way to live life Trying to find a way to live life And face the challenges I’ve been round for 8 years And I’m never heading Homeward bound Only way you’ll make a legacy Is put me in the ground Gutter like a glass pipe, broken heart, and bag of brown Life’s fast so your days lost When you’re sat around Tragedies happen now Pap get their camera out Trying to catch the motion in the picture Like they’re Paramount One day it’s front page Next day it’s wrapped around The chips that you’re yamming down Every picture tells a tale What am I supposed to do? Why am I emotional? Why do I spend my life writing just to find the truth? Why am I still here, fighting with my demons too? It’s not like I invited you To come and tear my mind in two Only time I’ll ever get to rest Is when I silence you I fly the white flag high In a violent mood Deep like the vinyl groove I fight for the dying youth Fuck cocaine And fuck the trade of diamonds too Was that line of whites worth the live that were lost for you? Blood money’s something that I’ve never come accustomed to I got a little question too Do you like the blatant truth Stuffed right in front of you But do you feel uncomfortable? Itching at your skin till the bugs fucking cutting through Stuck in a rut trying to lust for the sun and moon So you lust for the sun and moon Stuck in a rut trying to lust for the sun and moon.
I'm so glad I came across High Focus Records. I love British and old-school Hip-Hop, and coming across a label that solely signs good artists in this day is a dream come true. Much love to High Focus.
so many rappers could learn from listening to flippa everyday hey man, hes like a prophet on the mic most just brag and wank themselves off lyrically fliptrix never needs to do that and still comes off as more of a g he doesnt stick to rap about himself only in most of his songs like most rappers do he has the ability to switch in and out and chanel himself to tap into different states of being and on a high level of meditation hence the label high focus haha manz truly on another level!
Why am I still here, fighting with my demons too? It’s not like I invited you To come and tear my mind in two Only time I’ll ever get to rest Is when I silence you......
oh my fucking god. flip trip is my favorite rapper, never thought he'd come out with more new stuff. and I was just eating dinner, opening up new videos from subscriptions, and this came up. I can tell you that I said holy shitt at the top of my lungs
i prefer this over the american perception... its down to earth.. on the ground... no shiny nonsense to it!.... and not about the same old shit!..... a welcome change!
+jammapcb american mainstream hip hop yes, but if you dig trough the scum you will find nice underground hip hop in america, just a sugestion "brother ali- uncle sam goddamn"
im burning up with passion man, feel like my hearts a flame, something that i truely feel, something that i cant escape, stop with my soul searchin, mentally im far away ♥
If a guy in America rapped like this he would be famous in a day I swear lol but honestly fan for life after I heard 2 songs lol you got the rap soul brotha, you're better than EVERY mainstream rapper in america. Again im spreading the word about you in Canada, damn I didn't eve know UK rappers rap this hard, glad were allies!
I've followed you since I first heard Skyline, and from one MC to another I must say that you're taking the UK to new, better places.. I have never heard anything even approaching mediocre from you... It's consistent quality!
Ive gotta go down the jobcentre see y I didn't get my money today, I was stressing and raging before this tune came on and its just sorted me right out to know I aint the the one struugling and feeling this way about our shitty system!!!! peace out to everybody livin life in the struggle!!!!

I'm British and I couldn't even stand to listen to British hip hop... that was until I came across high focus and a truck load of dope artists, now I can't get enough. Given me hope!
High focus reppin passion before fashion
One of the best lyricists I have ever heard.
This Fliptrix guy is good. Much love the states!
Nearly at a million. Should be well above that already!
Mayne I’m from West Texas and I really fukk with this song heavy this my first time listening
Fliptrix you gave me so much insperation growing up, very greatful for your music and lyrics.
Yo, I’m burning up with passion
Man I feel like my heart’s aflame
Something that I truly feel
Something that I can’t escape
Stuck with my soul searching
Mentally I’m far away
Life’s like a gamble
Cause a dealer
Got a card to play
Reflecting on a life
That’s led by many
May be hard to face
When you’re spinning like a hurricane
Everything is much the same
Clutching at my food for thought
And cutlery to make me sane
Two working legs
Yet I’m struggling to run away
A blissful glimpse of paradise
Might see to make me
Change my way
Even just a holiday
Some could say
I’m sound awake
When every night I go and dream
I see it like a break away
Deep below the surface
Raise my finger tips to scrape the face
Mother Nature’s child of war
Surfing on a seismic wave
Nothing out there’s predetermined
There could be a time and place
For everything in life, so wait
Man it’s yours so seize, change your fate
Never wait when the moments there
Reveal the face
Bare reflections of a frozen stare
Eyes rolling backwards
Both the victim and the killer man
They’ve both been scared
It’s so tragic
I’m mind travelling
Lost in this labyrinth
Stuck with my thought patterns
Searching for happiness
Trying to find a way to live life
Trying to find a way to live life
And face the challenges
I’ve been round for 8 years
And I’m never heading
Homeward bound
Only way you’ll make a legacy
Is put me in the ground
Gutter like a glass pipe, broken heart, and bag of brown
Life’s fast so your days lost
When you’re sat around
Tragedies happen now
Pap get their camera out
Trying to catch the motion in the picture
Like they’re Paramount
One day it’s front page
Next day it’s wrapped around
The chips that you’re yamming down
Every picture tells a tale
What am I supposed to do?
Why am I emotional?
Why do I spend my life writing just to find the truth?
Why am I still here, fighting with my demons too?
It’s not like I invited you
To come and tear my mind in two
Only time I’ll ever get to rest
Is when I silence you
I fly the white flag high
In a violent mood
Deep like the vinyl groove
I fight for the dying youth
Fuck cocaine
And fuck the trade of diamonds too
Was that line of whites worth the live that were lost for you?
Blood money’s something that I’ve never come accustomed to
I got a little question too
Do you like the blatant truth
Stuffed right in front of you
But do you feel uncomfortable?
Itching at your skin till the bugs fucking cutting through
Stuck in a rut trying to lust for the sun and moon
So you lust for the sun and moon
Stuck in a rut trying to lust for the sun and moon.
fliptrix......
big since day.
passionate lyricism
This song is so emotional !
Шедевр
I'm so glad I came across High Focus Records. I love British and old-school Hip-Hop, and coming across a label that solely signs good artists in this day is a dream come true. Much love to High Focus.
Smashed it again. A beacon of light in UKHH.
Memorised this from his Fire In The Phone-booth freestyle. Happy that he released it. Mad deep
I love high focus. I'm not a rude boy in any sense of the phrase but, this music speaks to me. There's a realism in it I haven't found anywhere else.
UK hip hop is killin it!!! Reminds me of the 90's hip hop, which is real hip hop. The shit we have coming out now is embarrassing..... Sorry to say...
so many rappers could learn from listening to flippa everyday hey man, hes like a prophet on the mic most just brag and wank themselves off lyrically fliptrix never needs to do that and still comes off as more of a g he doesnt stick to rap about himself only in most of his songs like most rappers do he has the ability to switch in and out and chanel himself to tap into different states of being and on a high level of meditation hence the label high focus haha manz truly on another level!
I have to buy the High Focus catalogue, damn this label is off the chain, Fliptrix, 184.
Cosmic
the skill in this is unreal
Why am I still here, fighting with my demons too?
It’s not like I invited you
To come and tear my mind in two
Only time I’ll ever get to rest
Is when I silence you......
Ill never understand why this song doesn't get the attention it deserves.
big up fliptrix and high focus !
I forgot how serous this is one of the most underrated artists big flipper
