about

Rapper, producer and lyricist extraordinaire makes his return with the release of “The Only Way I Know”.....

Known for creating and featuring on some of the scenes most seminal works, UK Hip Hop's prodigal son Savvy aka Asaviour has an extensive back catalogue of works with highly established artists both in and out of the genre of UK hip hop such as: DJ IQ (Luke storey) Verb T (four owls) Jehst, Bloc Party, Athlete etc shown the breadth of vision from this formidable and revered artist.

Written and produced by the man himself and featuring the insane vocal talents of Malcolm Carson, lead singer of group Tape The Radio. Savvy comments: “The Only Way I know is a relentless ode to never giving in. Pushing until you feel you have nothing left, and then picking yourself up again and pushing until your heart bursts”.

Evocative and ultimately unrelenting lyrics are the order of the day here. As soon as the drums thunder into action you know Savvy is back with a vengeance. The electrifying guitar riff and synth lifts you up and doesn’t let go. The track is hair raising stuff from start to finish from this northern powerhouse

lyrics

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
