Long before the truth has come to light You gotta trust your second sight Before you’re left with nothing left to say Don’t go and throw it all away Searching for a sign All I see is static You’re frightened by the darkness But I’m drawn to all the magic One more red flag to show me You won’t make the green light glow One more red flag, Tashomi I won’t let you spoil the show One more red flag Crawling through the ashes of today Demons leading me astray Clouded by the smell of all the rain Your scent still leaves a bitter stain Searching for a sign All I see is static You’re frightened by the darkness But I’m drawn to all the magic One more red flag to show me You won’t make the green light glow One more red flag, Tashomi I won’t let you spoil the show It feels like Something’s telling me, I gotta get out Had to hit me with a deal breaker One more red flag Something’s telling me, I gotta get out Had to hit me with a deal breaker One more red flag One more red flag to show me You won’t make the green light glow One more red flag, Tashomi I won’t let you spoil the show

No it’s gotta be real Everyone’s tryna be that something That fugazi ain’t givin’ me feels ‘Cause if it’s all the same it don’t mean nothing Don’t mean nothing Nobody’s themselves, they’re all just someone else Just another grain in the static It’s hard to see through all the plastic Hard to understand these rules Looking for a tear in the fabric No it’s gotta be real Everyone’s tryna be that something That fugazi ain’t givin’ me feels ‘Cause if it’s all the same it don’t mean nothing Don’t mean nothing Never satisfied, just after something else Tryna break away from the habit Feeling like substance abuse I find it doesn’t lead to magic Imitation just won’t do I need a little something more I can chew No it’s gotta be real Everyone’s tryna be that something That fugazi ain’t givin’ me feels ‘Cause if it’s all the same it don’t mean nothing Don’t mean nothing Never one for following false prophets Never been a magpie falling for a jewel Guess I woke up and smelt that gourmet shit Still I’m not the kind to play the possum While everyone around me keeps playing the fool I’ve never been the kind who’s crazy for counterfeit No it’s gotta be real Everyone’s tryna be that something That fugazi ain’t givin’ me feels ‘Cause if it’s all the same it don’t mean nothing Don’t mean nothing No it’s gotta be real Everyone’s tryna be that something That fugazi ain’t givin’ me feels ‘Cause if it’s all the same it don’t mean nothing Don’t mean nothing

It's getting me down & down again We gotta find our way out Don’t know who to trust We’re gonna go round and round again ’til we change the layout It’s hard, but we gotta do what we must There’s a devil been hangin’ round again He’s gonna have his way now Feeding us lies, mistreating us, should be no surprise Now we’re rolling with lady luck again We’re gonna have our day now Move aside, we’re the changing tide It’s all a freak out, lose your mind in what’s goin' down It’s no time dance up on the roof We gotta free our minds, all together now 'cause we should be fighting for the truth Wake up now Stop and look over your shoulder Break em down Keep on fighting til it's over Don't stop now Times are changing and we've got it figured out There’s a light at the end of the tunnel Watch your mouth, the walls have ears Don’t know who goes which way Gotta look out for the signs Sure to keep playing on your fears And don’t make no mistake Look out, you gotta read between the lines Don’t wanna play doll to puppeteers Have 'em pull the strings they hold Gotta get out, gotta cut loose and cut the ties Been swallowing lies for all these years Can't keep living this way You can’t deny, we’re the changing tide. It’s all a freak out, lose your mind in what’s goin' down It’s no time dance up on the roof We gotta free our minds, all together now 'cause we're here fighting for the truth Wake up now Stop and look over your shoulder Break em down Keep on fighting til it's over Don't stop now Times are changing and we've got it figured out There’s a light at the end of the tunnel Don’t look back… Don’t look back… Wake up now Stop and look over your shoulder Break em down Keep on fighting til it's over Don't stop now Times are changing and we've got it figured out There’s a light at the end of the tunnel

Well I never thought I’d find my self in such a situation Seems it's something I’ve been finding hard to try and explain Lately I’ve been overthinking complicating my frustration And if this goes on any longer I’m’a find myself walking away And it goes on and on and on into the evening And it goes on and on and on all through the night I’ll be leaving when the sun comes up Gotta walk a path in search of the truth Won’t be long ‘til the hen goes out to lay ‘Til the chickens come home to roost I’ve been wandering what to do and how to face my problems head on Seems theres very little I’ve got going keeping me sane Anticipating I’ll be picking up the pieces when my head’s gone But so far I’ve just been filling in the cracks to keep the demons at bay And it goes on and on and on into the evening And it goes on and on and on all through the night I’ll be leaving when the sun comes up Gotta walk a path in search of the truth Won’t be long ‘til the hen goes out to lay ‘Til the chickens come home to roost Should I choose to fight or flee? Will my troubles follow me? If I have to turn my back will all my efforts have been wasted? Will I get the golden goose? Risk it all and let it loose Forget all I’ve tasted I’ll be leaving when the sun comes up Gotta walk a path in search of the truth Won’t be long ‘til the hen goes out to lay ‘Til the chickens come home to roost

about

In contrast to their last self-produced EP, “And Then It Dawned On Me”, which featured LA-based duo HARRIETT (veterans Ill Camille & Damani Nkosi), east London social commentator & activist Franklyn and 2nd Exit (rappers and producers Alfa Mist & Lester Duval), their first full-length offering, 'Nine Tenths of the Law' features no special guests, leaving the canvas entirely to the quartet to work their magic.

On their mission to get people thinking, The Odd 910 has crafted a tender and relatable journey rooted in collective empowerment and ubuntu, the sentiment that ‘I am because you are’.
