Black & White Cinema (cover by it'S U NO LOGY)

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] [Male vocals] Yo, the city's still sleeping, the scene is half-lit A little bit of shadow, a little sun hit Then a beam hits the rooftops, a golden hour flash But the walls are still dark, makin' a contrast Then a window ignites, a sudden square of light A piano starts playin', pullin' back the night The reel starts to spin, yeah, the movie's begun And I'm sittin' here wonderin' what I've become [Pre-Chorus] [Male vocals] I'm awake and I'm shakin', the whole world is rockin' Like a crazy mechanic, no sign of him stoppin' This spotlight is blinding, this sharp ray of sun Makes me laugh and then cry 'til the whole scene is done I'm a part of the action, the highs and the lows... [Chorus] [Male vocals] My life is a movie, a cinema show Just black and white pictures, the only way it goes Who wrote the damn script? What a crazy designer? This director's a genius, a wild out-of-liner He's choppin' and cuttin', the edits are clean From a victory party to a tragedy scene He don't let you slide if you mess up a line King or a clown, man, you better just shine [Verse 2] [Male vocals] I'm tryin' to see it, the method, the meaning But the colors are missin', the message is leaning On gestures and motions, the silence is loud Tryna scream out my feelings, but I'm lost in the crowd And the actors are rushin', they're runnin' the race With black tears streamin' down a pale white face And I feel what they're feelin', the pain is legit So I cry right along with 'em, yeah, this is it... [Chorus] [Male vocals] My life is a movie, a cinema show Just black and white pictures, the only way it goes Who wrote the damn script? What a crazy designer? This director's a genius, a wild out-of-liner He's choppin' and cuttin', the edits are clean From a victory party to a tragedy scene He don't let you slide if you mess up a line King or a clown, man, you better just shine [Bridge] [Male vocals] But the film keeps on rollin', it's gaining some traction Through years of experience, a chain reaction It's slowly developin', findin' its tone Getting color and sound that it can call its own But the voices are harsh and the colors too bright Too much red in the sunrise, too blue in the night Too much black from the blood makin' stains on the cast... This is my life's beginning, a scene from the past [Outro] [Male vocals] And soon come the shades, the nuance, the grace The wisdom of knowing your time and your place And then even that wisdom will just be the start For the next generation to play out their part Livin' and lovin' and fallin' below... My life... my cinema... my black and white show... Yeah, you only get one take... make it count, you know? Just one role to play... [End]
