Multiply
Multiply: Breaking Walls, Uniting Voices
Lyrics
5ft 4, female, welsh, caucasian
Describing physical attributes and background
Not typically what you expect in this equation
Challenging expectations in a given situation
I'm of an age, I'm socially ancient
Feeling socially out of sync with current trends
Bounce your necks, open up the conversation
Encouraging open communication and dialogue
While you be rapping over beats you never wrote
Criticizing others for not writing their own lyrics
I'll be staying loud back in the comfort of my home
Choosing to stay authentic at home rather than conforming
Scrolling through the sounds to find a sound to make my own
Exploring and selecting a unique musical identity
Programme the dots, I join 'em up and make a song
Creating music by connecting the creative dots
Say, who you gonna call I ain't afraid of no ghost
Asserting fearlessness and independence
Writers in your pocket burning bread while I make toast
Contrasting serious writing with casual activities
Buttering the sides up for the beats you never wrote
Preparing for success while others may lag
10 homies smoking dope, all claiming words they barely choked
Observing peers claiming artistic merit without substance
It's all cool, I don't mean to disrespect
Expressing understanding without disrespect
Beat makers need takers, add voice to track
Highlighting the importance of vocal contribution in music
Story tellers tell stories, hell Tories make pay cheques
Commenting on the influence of political affiliations
With words so absurd, yet they get a big pay stack
Noting the paradox of absurd lyrics achieving success
I'm just making sure I take my power back
Reclaiming personal empowerment
Cause some old school fool, caught in old school rules
Addressing potential bias from traditional perspectives
Might overlook the size of my new school shoes
Asserting personal growth and identity
Yeah I fill 'em, I'm Millie Blooms
Identifying as Millie Blooms, confident and self-assured
We come together and we multiply
Emphasizing unity, breaking barriers, and coming together
Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply, say
-We come together and we multiply
-Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply
-I see the signs, I hear through the vines
Addressing critics and doubters, asserting individuality
Know some of you be thinking that I walk around blind
-With fingers in ears cause you sound like tinnitus
-Hey man I see you
-They say raps got a game that I'm figuring out
-They say I don't fit the frame, but I'll figure it out
-They say there ain't no place for me
-I got my doubts, but what the… do you know
-You don't write your own sounds
-While you be rapping over beats you never wrote
-I'll be staying loud back in the comfort of my home
-Scrolling through the sounds to find a sound to make my own
-Programme the dots, I join 'em up and make a song
-Say, who you gonna call I ain't afraid of no ghost
-Writers in your pocket burning bread while I make toast
-Buttering the sides up for the beats you never wrote
-10 homies smoking dope, all claiming words they barely choked
-We come together and we multiply
Repeating themes of unity and empowerment
Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply, say
-We come together and we multiply
-Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply
-You know we can be stronger together
-We all come together and we multiply
-So why do we keep putting up barriers
-We all come together and we multiply
-You know we can be stronger together
-You know we can be stronger together
-So why do we keep putting up barriers
-Why do we keep putting up barriers
-We come together and we multiply
-Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply, say
-We come together and we multiply
-Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply
-We can stronger together
Stressing strength in unity and breaking down barriers
We come together and we multiply
-Break down the walls and we touch the sky
-We can stronger together
-Nobody left out high and dry
-We all come together and we multiply
Reiterating the message of coming together and multiplying
