I wanted to do something that goes back to my roots and allows me to sound off about things that stimulate me. We're still in the midst of a global pandemic, so I felt a project with storytelling would be relevant for these crazy times. For this tape I've collaborated with some of my heroes, some talented up and comers in Drum & Bass and some of my best friends too! I'm so proud to work with these incredible people, their work is inspiring. Huge shouts to my label too for letting me express myself with no limitations.” – Degs Lyrics: This year slammed the brakes
We stood still whilst the world changed So unclear in just one take When all we got is hope We stood still watched the clubs close
Industry took a beating
No raves in this season
Lockdown it’s like groundhog day
Face-to-face we’re not speaking Miss the vibes when I stand on stage
Young hearts we’re depleted
Gimme the mic I wanna feel it
Can’t see my mum on the weekend
She ain’t getting no younger All night we’re just sleeping
1 hour for the fresh air Day by day it’s repeating
Yeah I know it’s for the greater good
We want the cases decreasing Tryna go slow like nature would
But months pass it’s fatiguing
Yeah this timeline passes slower than a snail It’s like
we’re on the side, wait for our turn like Gareth Bale
Working on myself to welcome everything I’ve got
Cos I lost a couple friends up in this period, it’s been a lot
This ain’t the status quo for me, I’ll probably lose the plot
It helps to focus on the good things, we’re just
searching for our spot, yeah 4 walls in this box
Panicking heads at the shop 2020’s it’s a flop
This year slammed the brakes We stood still whilst the world changed So unclear in just one take When all we got is hope We stood still watched our clubs close
We stood still watched our clubs close
New phrases and cliches Mask on it’s the sequel
Many night shifts in the hospital No PPE for the people
Government they’re so callous
The policy it’s medieval Gatekeepers they won’t let you in Let the bottom starve it’s so evil Populism man it’s killing us
Migrants the new targe
tIt’s a classic case of deflection
But the headlines yeah they start it It’s so frustrating
My family work the hardest
Education is paramount
Otherwise the winters are harshest
But what the future holds depends on every heart
Do we want to see a time where empathy ain’t on the chart?
I know these months have been so tough on all our dreams
But resilience it’s prevalent throughout our history
And in the cold you see the human in our beings
Without the need to front we see togetherness for what it means
3 zoots and I’m lean Man I got love for the scene 2020 yeah it’s peak
This year slammed the brakes
We stood still whilst the world changed So unclear in just one take When all we got is hope We stood still watched our clubs close Follow Degs: http://www.facebook.com/degsmusic/
