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/ http://www.twitter.com/degsmusic? http://www.instagram.com/degsmusic/ http://www.soundcloud.com/degsmusic Follow Operate: http://www.facebook.com/operateuk/ https://www.instagram.com/operateuk/ https://www.soundcloud.com/operatednb Follow Hospital Records: http://hospitalrecords.com https://www.facebook.com/Hospitalrecords http://twitter.com/hospitalrecords http://instagram.com/hospitalrecords http://play.spotify.com/user/hospitalrecords http://www.google.com/+HospitalRecords https://soundcloud.com/hospitalrecords http://www.mixcloud.com/hospitalrecords/
