Here’s Joe Harvey’s Solo song from “Atavism”.
While you’re ahead
Chorus: You better quit while you’re ahead…
Verse One:
But I can’t so I won’t
Because a part of me thinks that I’m actually dope
So I stick faithfully by this art as an artist
And it’s been that way since the day that I started
Cause like I said in these parts I’m like a white rhino
So it doesn’t help that I still collect vinyl
I’m looked upon like a relic to these zealots
That don’t know shit from shave but they’re quick to say
That what I make sounds dated in the game
Not knowing that their favorite producers do the same
Thing that I do (I do) for my crew (my crew)
And a myriad of others that want to
Have that boom bap feel good raw rap
That’s reminiscent of the past and created to last
While your style is stale bread I’ll make you eat what you said
Chorus:
Verse Two:
Ahead of the curve but these herbs
Lack the flavor and spice to make anything nice
So you better think twice if you think all it takes
To make classics is a few plug-ins and virtual crates
And you wonder why I’m feeling irate when these
Vultures are leaving us culturally raped
By dismissing the past and the methods of the madness
Treating old techniques as bad habits
Dagnabbit, I can’t stand it that the very first
Love of my life is still being taken for granted
But I’ll manage and nurture this talent
Say my peace and then be off to the next planet
Until then my friend I’ll stick to what I do best
Which is simply address, the topic at hand
And with this one line I’ll recap what I said
