This is an old song that came to mind when Rosko John asked me to sing alongside his deeply intelligent rap and on his, as ever, heady beats.
Tactical Light (Rosko John, Arab, R)
Where do you come from, saying the things you do?
Where do you get to, playing the games you do?
Take her for a fool
She’ll stand by your side
Tell her some lies
To follow where you lead
When the sun like a moon
In a greying sky
Earth’s shadow with a rainbow
In a clear night sky
I’ll look you in the eye
To catch flying lie!
