The earth has stalled We were moving with tallest heights of order Balling with a smorgasbord of higher beings Seeing through the branches of chance meetings Seating ourselves in eternal youth But the towers of truth collapsed When the new replaced and trapped our wisdom Nature’s teachings curtailed in the prattle of chaos Until the rise of a battle that glistens Not with blood, but love of living Love of giving the people back what they deserve Because the further man turns from truth The more darkness begets the white side of the moon Typhooned in greed and delusions Losing the freedom in our movements This is the battle that fights for nuff love and reason That fights for us dreamers and believers That fights for the kaleidoscopic patterns of our breathing In revolt to the thieving of mankind this is the battle for our hearts and minds.

Verse Pick up the pen it's time to summerise At least try define why I came to this to me it's no surprise I came to open eyes And yes shed some light Never one to compromise My time time is overdue 10 years solid to get on Now its over night guess I finally got vision right It’s like the universe coinciding the stars are in alignment Precision and timing the position you find I’m in is precarious as fuck I throw the dice and I’m scared to even look I share my life on mics its like an open book Take time on every page Yes I design this as the crux focal point now you engage. Guess the boys upset the books now it's time to set the stage No longer overlooked now you can't forget his name Can I invite you to my pain? I swear it's beautiful My hope is growth I aim to be fruitful yo! Chorus An this is the battle for hearts and minds (L) You already know (R) A vision for the future my time (L) Man I can't let go (R) Live for this shit man its not just rhyme (L) It's like a manifesto (R) Paint a picture with the literature (L) I’m one of a kind (R) Got my eye on the game Mind on the truth I’m out of their league This work is the proof My fires intensified I do it for you I’m fighting for life trying to bring something new Verse Should doubters I could do it Now its time to show em how to excel and astound with an unparalleled sound there's nothing to it Proof thats its gem that you found I’m here for another round I came to just put it down My voice the truest Coz I speak so earnest I’ll fulfill my purpose Its just hard graft no luck I’m here on purpose Such a harsh craft but no lapse in concentration Behold the bold I execute mt elevation Chorus An this is the battle for hearts and minds (L) You already know (R) A vision for the future my time (L) Man I can't let go (R) Live for this shit man its not just rhyme (L) It's like a manifesto (R) Paint a picture with the literature (L) I’m one of a kind (R) Got my eye on the game Mind on the truth I’m out of their league This work is the proof My fires intensified I do it for you I’m fighting for life trying to bring something new Breakdown Hearts and minds search your, the only way is to let you know Hearts and minds search your, the only way is to let you know is to let you know It's a battle for hearts & minds search your soul it's a lonely road It's a battle for hearts & minds search your soul it's a lonely road It's a battle for hearts & minds search your soul it's a lonely road It's a battle for hearts & minds search your soul it's a lonely road

Verse It's the only way I know It's the only way i know Take a look eyes can't you see the fire Racing for prize wired now the stakes are higher Can't rest bless my steps till my body expires Till then man I’m running on the track like and athlete Can't sweat the technique, mind over matter we got targets to meet The path not many made it so I guess they digressed I sacrificed so much more for success But visualised a better for what I write Will not be denied watch savvy take a slice and eat Watch seeds bare fruit man it ain't bout greed It's bout belief Blaze a trail for the ones after me. Inhale exhale it's hard to breathe no breath in my lungs Legs weary hear me swear I only just begun I do this just because don’t need to round of applause man Chorus I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know Verse Once more into the breach let me speak Man I came to move your feet and minds My literature painting a picture for blind I write with a hope that the line will bind I write with and urgency (WHY) coz we’re press for time Invest my soul protect my goals Order out of chaos I’m in full control Watching every step I make coz these bredas are fake Man I told you once before that's its fate though faith From digging in the crates to bagging up these eighths Best to get to moving or you're gonna gain weight You wanna eat but won't hold the plate Your wanna bite but don't know the break Broc for goodness sake i’m an ace of spades Highest card in the deck your death let's play Better yet just pray can you keep up the pace we must maintain. Chorus I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know Bridge Its this a love song? Hell no it's a race for the prize got the goal in my sights Work through the night I’m in search for the light Far from a game but I still entertain Its this a love song? No way I just wanna get paid from the beauty I create The stakes are so high a race for my life so obvious I want it so bad I might cry Chorus I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know I gotta go freind, I got a heart beat, and I won't go slow, It’s the only way I know Outro It's the only way I know Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Only - Way i - Know

When the goods run scarce do you think they’ll share? Silly fucker are you mad there's a war going on outside And the image is blurred cant tell whos worse Suggest you run and hide

And when you get chased to the edge of your cliff It’ll be fight cos flight lands right in the abyss Or trust the unknown for its sacred powers Eleven hours after you’d fall off that cliff wall You’d be landing in flowers Concealed now by the harrowing shadows And you’d know you just evolved And solved the quiz of living The fizz of war crescendos Into the gorge of human potential as we jump forth.

A warrior of hearts and minds knows That being let down is being released from the binds that tie our hands and feet to those unworthy. A warrior knows the strongest spirits goes unbroken topsy turvy is the comrade who never had the integrity to be open. a warrior knows to hope for an allies growth but a token of yourself is spent on emotional health each time friends choke. A warrior knows The only advice that she should ever use is that which comes from the muse within herself A warrior knows the rhythm of her soul beats like a drum and no one else’s hum can ruin it’s flow. But it’s dumb to go on loads about the warrior code because You’re the warrior, no?

Verse The say Pains a great teacher, times a great healer let me take you deeper via the speaker Fowl creatures liars and shit talkers Come hell or highwater its manslaughter Work the pages in order to give you clarity I taking a veil of betrayal and disparity Guess that comes with the territory just let it be Is what I say to myself for mental health Spiritual wealth wisdom to know yourself I lace up my boots and tighten my belt I’m back from the brink took a moment to think And process pain and pen it in ink Met some pricks in my time but you take piss And don't get the point man go smoke your join Obviously you don't care so it goes nowhere I’m still savoir faire your controlled by fears Your know what Chorus I think me and you should forfeit, Coz you always seem to think that I talk shit And you only seem to talk when you want shit, So once in our lives I think I want less Of this beef of this drama this long shit, Well say something coz you i need, anything to explain the lies and the games the stress and the strain Verse Thought it pains me to write this I feel compelled No brother so I keep myself no father so I found my own No equal fam the poems so cold Guess the god excelled to take hold Guess it buns your soul witness the growth You chill wit witless folk to boost your self esteem now thats a joke Its so weird to me and so clear to see that your alone Your know what Chorus I think me and you should forfeit, Coz you always seem to think that I talk shit And you only seem to talk when you want shit, So once in our lives I think I want less Of this beef of this drama this long shit, Well say something coz you i need, Verse See i’m kind to a fault considerate to my detriment Extended my hand to help build your brand Always with an open heart from the start Jealousy ego and pride torn it apart The same old story nothing last forever Never fear change the rules of the game While i seek acclaim you seek someone to blame Familiar but boring like old video games It's strange how marginal fame fucked your brain Delusions of grandeur and i must say We gotta dream big but hype lead you astray Even resorted to foul play for pay You visions distorted you forfeited my grace Your bound see my face or at least hear my voice Coz its back to the stage I swear we don't have a choice I’m penning this under pressure I give you all I got you know what Chorus I think me and you should forfeit, Coz you always seem to think that I talk shit And you only seem to talk when you want shit, So once in our lives I think I want less Of this beef of this drama this long shit, Well say something coz you i need,

Abandon all hope ye who enter here I hold the floor like the earth or sphere black marketeers back time to adhere Spit Cristal clear nothing quite compares You know theres something missing _ I got your ear so I’m hoping that you listen Embrace your intuition i break the shit down like division Got friction to Defy that fiction man quit your bitching _Slay the page for a living i could never give in The thrill of the chase fam no pumping the breaks Guess that's winning Or is it? Everybody's a critic and they all love a gimimic I ain't white selling sex of violence I’ve just got lyrics from start to finish Embrace the vivid Whos truly Driven Hand holds no limits Oh what a living Chorus Back from the brink what did you think It's the hour of the wolf i came to hookwink Revenge on the game restoring this name Power of the self i came to explain The comeback is clear time to take aim The story severe but i found a way Don't interfere i can't be contained Been held back for years is time to break chains I been warring with Megalomaniacs megaliths God damn I'm brainiac oedipus motherfucker the real is back Take a moment its important every comment The rest are Dormant I will only Spit torment I'm enormous the performance warrants homage Non conformance and some dam hard graft I Bring the fire yes the atoms get cracked The club jam-packed The P gets stacked It's unilateral contract and that's that its brand new day how the fuck we get paid There's A thousand and one ways to skin a cat It's the diction my depictions unmatched The vision and ambitions gone mad There is no competition upon this rhythm pen precision Observe this craft Chorus Back from the brink what did you think It's the hour of the wolf i came to hookwink Revenge on the game restoring this name Power of the self i came to explain The comeback is clear time to take aim The story severe but i found a way Don't interfere i can't be contained Been held back for years is time to break chains Went from zero to hero with just a biro And maybe just an Ital or two of that hudd hydro Been living on a tightrope scribing that vital, not quite the breadline but you and I know this ain't no safe place for the weak of heart Put on ya gameface its a brutal art Turn your mind to shit rip your heart apart This ain't just wit and gift it's my will to commit All jokes aside you don't want to collide Kick you arse through you mind like a blue asred fly Came to take what's mine coz the powers that be wanna see me bleed/ It's doe or Die, man a lie? All I see is greed/ I'm trying to flee these streets find some peace of mind These are turbulent times so its a permanent grind Im Impervious i murder the dirtiest style/ With a curtius smile/ Chorus Back from the brink what did you think It's the hour of the wolf i came to hookwink Revenge on the game restoring this name Power of the self i came to explain The comeback is clear time to take aim The story severe but i found a way Don't interfere i can't be contained Been held back for years is time to break chains

Verse Could call it a wave could call it a movement Been planning for years the subtle improvement Scrutinising every pen stroke invent most Shine a little bit of light for my kinfolk I set the benchmark penning these memoirs Mind body and soul guess that's the trademark But won't be pigeon holed know I control Everything that unfolds breda behold Hook Don't you know it's real life feels like it's right this time You’ll find the light that blinded you See I built this all alone no one help me build my throne Blood sweat and tears mad the fears disappear I’ve surpassed my peers its a conscious decision King of my dominion fuck for opinion Look at what we building something for the children A sort of manifesto coz I see a system heading for oblivion with no clear reason my grievance With the powers that be who to believe in The infinite degrees the separation breeds A brand new life in your prejudice its so evident Every wondered truly who really benefits The war mongers trying crush your heart and divide you mind Expose your soul leave us cold and detached I refuse to fold Coz hopes and idea and you can’t kill those. This is more than flows (yo) Hook Don't you know it's real life feels like it's right this time You’ll find the light that blinded you Infatuated by the groove, ye got something to prove Back from the brink surpassing you in a blink Master with the ink virtuoso el producto Eye on every angle I’m trying to do my utmost Sticking with the theme of remaining on your tiptoes These guys are two faced the game is cut throat They claim its business I’m so suspicions I keep my head down create the sickness witness Bridge Enjoy the show, and it's all we really know before its time to go enjoy the show Enjoy the show, and it's all we really know before its time to go enjoy the show Hook Don't you know it's real life feels like it's right this time You’ll find the light that blinded you

You’re made of armour A crystal skull pumped full of good luck karma If you haven’t earn some now Build your brow of resistance If existence ain’t something you bless with grateful emissions Then be the best, of yourself, your wealth of strength is built upon the hands that you’ve helped Yes pelts and lashes whup our skin In this tricky world we’re living in Where bruises rise like bursts of anger But you know giving in is useless so deserve to win Hang your shield on the door For this battle is fought with skin and nothing more.

Verse So tell me are you really really ready to endure these trials of life Three sixty five everydays a grind Weights heavy on my mind yes i’m inpatient Better than the best that you know Eloquent with the flow Take leaf out my book man I put it on show Never shook hook or by crook I’m letting you know I came to ----reposition the frame Coz something's not right a twist in my name But the aims just the same I’m building my name Selfmade Your ears are what gimme a wadge no breaks The pay is the smile on your face when you're taken away I put it down in every context , You can see there's no contest No charade i’m just more than you thought I’m the last best hope the embodiment of dope man there no one close Chorus Hold your head high and tread before you jog child You have to be so steady, and take it it when ready Are you ready to endure, ready to reach out more An Ready to take on board commitment for this endurance Verse I aim straight for the pineal gland the pulmonary given half a chance I crush it in my hands it's a brief romance The vision has one aim its obliterate pain in this point in time The mic is mine the floor is yours The time is right the rhyme will scorch The back of brain till nothing else remains Leave em transfixed all part of the game My language languish in anguish More reckless abandon Drums bag with a vengeance relentless I’am not here at random See I write this song for your souls sake Escape survive in your own way Death defy with my words hold weight Electrify the crowd this is high stakes Chorus Hold your head high and tread before you jog child You have to be so steady, and take it it when ready Are you ready to endure, ready to reach out more An Ready to take on board commitment for this endurance Verse The only voice i trust is the one i know The one inside my head saying kill em dead Remove the feet the hands the teeth Leave no trace of hope I crush believe They're so beneath i’m so essential I turn a leaf it's almost re-invention Asaviour to Savvy did I fail to mention Nothing stays the same it's a state of mind Never write in vain maintain the grind Stare death in the face with my bloodshot angel eyes Yes the aim of the game is to enterprise Stake your claim and intensify Built like this so i must survive Theme of the work is adapt or die Ever-revolutionary light the skies With some pyrotechnic blind your sight So forthright with my insight, The meaning of life inside these lines Audacious flow that I do pro-quo Just lend me your ears and were good to go Just work with your boy yes im good to know Bad to cross you’ll insure a loss I’m the final boss on the hardest setting Impossible to beat that's why fretting & your palms are sweating Brethren You don't want arms with a legend I’m heading Further than they really wanna let him I’m Getting Stronger by the second I reckon I’m betting what beckons is the true recognition Flew the coup to pursue what was missing Blew the roof now my coup will insue Can’t contest man I do what i do I Embody the truth and embrace the new Chorus Hold your head high and tread before you jog child You have to be so steady, and take it it when ready Are you ready to endure, ready to reach out more An Ready to take on board commitment for this endurance Are you ready Are you ready Are you ready I’am ready I’am ready I am ready

As the battle came to a close The woesome warriors rose screaming “meaning of life, reveal yourself to me!” And the hearts cried and their tears spelt: “Yo, we were always happy we were always lapping at the sun behind the clouds cos although you couldn’t see it, it’s gong still rings on loud”.

about

Savvy, AKA Asaviour, releases his long anticipated LP the Battle For Hearts & Minds featuring guest appearances from a range of artist & musicians DJ IQ, Aisha Zoe, Lisa Luxx, Ben Maron, Malcolm Carson, Therealdemo, Aisha Zoe, Dj Madhandz, Joh1st, Jade America, and more… In Savvy’s words: “It’s a look at the state of the world: at our battle for power, control, for sanity & clarity. “ I guess I’m questioning: what’s your battle? What are you dealing with? Why’s this the case? …The lyrics in the tracks relate to these questions in complex ways. They’re split between logic and emotion.”

Throughout the LP we see Savvy’s own personal and political musings. The lyrics open us up to ideas in order to provide us with food for thought, to open begin to open up our own questions, provoke new thoughts and ideas. Simply, to open our minds. The album begins with the words of spoken word artist, Lisa Luxx which pre empt the tone for this musical journey. She states: “ The world has stalled”., between tracks she guides the listener through the album. Her poetry connects the recurring themes between the tracks and works in dialogue with them.

Savvy’s new LP has become both a vessel for knowledge and also a place to inspire. Interestingly, the album is a return from a long hiatus, after years of a love and hate relationship with hip hop, In the end, staying true to his original love for music, he has created a body of work that transcends mundane questions of value and claims of status to offer us a piece that is undoubtedly human. Giving a critical (albeit, uncensored) look at our flaws, our nature, our manipulation, our hopes, fears, successes, our love, hate, namely, our contradictions. He is asking the listener to follow him on this journey of questioning our own humanity and what we do with it. What we can do to better ourselves as individuals and as a society as a whole. And how we can win this battle over our hearts and minds, to achieve… What, exactly? You’ll have to listen to find out.
