From the recording My Nature
In classic Stylie fashion, the beat hits hard right from the top, fusing into funko-rock ear candy, driven by mystery melodies with disturbing mumbling synthed-out backing vocals. That’s just the first verse, seriously!
The beat hits harder and the flow morphs, as the song winds its confused path through a key change, lyrics start to pop up out from Stylie and Broomwatr (on lyrical assist). “All your life you’ve been a fighter, tried so hard, and sacrificed” and “All this time, sitting right next to me, starin’ at the walls, somehow some-why, you needed me, I didn’t breathe it”. All the while the listener hears a cacophonic backdrop of days-gone-past choral wonder, as Stylie soulfully croons through a bridge and closes the tune out as it starts, with 4 hard hits and a cry about the nature of the beast in all of us
Lyrics
Baby all my life I've been a lover
I try so hard yeah and I've sacrificed
But you didn't even see it
Thought I didn't need it
And when I tried you pushed me away
And now all my loving
Has been dazed and uncorrected
Where did I go?
All your life you've been a fighter
Try so hard yeah you sacrificed
But I didn't even see it
I didn't think you needed it
The attention was just too much
Now all earth shaking aside
I know you just might just bury me alive
Where did it go?
It's my nature
I'm a lover not a fighter all my life
What can I say?
It's in the nature of the beast
So hit me for a quickie
I ain't trying to change your mind
You can trust me on this
I'm just missing that touch and feel baby
Where did it go?
All these years I forgot what I like
And how I like to do
See the the future it done told it
The truth it's done been spoken
What happens next I'll never know it
So I'm writing this song to let you know it
Where did it go?
All this time
Sitting right next to me
Staring at the walls
Some how some why
You needed me I didn't breathe it
Crying deep inside
Outside you feeling so cold
So I'm writing this song to let you know it
Where did it go?
It's in your nature
You been a fighter all your life
What can I say?
It's in the nature of the beast,
So hit me for a quickie
I'm not trying to change your mind.
You can trust me on this.
Ooooh Oooh
I'm just missing that touch and feel, baby
When the lover loves the fighter
And the fighter loves the lover
And the exhibition is for the title
And the beast inside us warn
What do you do
What do you do, baby
What do you do
Haters and the sinners all
Finish at the same damn time
It's in my nature
It's my nature
I'm a lover not a fighter all my life
What can I say?
It's in the nature of the beast
So hit me for a quickie
I'm ain't trying to change your mind
You can trust me on this
I'm just missing that touch and feel baby
Where did it go?
