about

The Boys are back in town. A lyrical flex, a statement of intent. This is the reintroduction to Flash Peasants - we're still here - and we're still hungry.

lyrics

The spectacled crusader
Unwinding in the vapours
I'm writing all my lyrics down
On acid blotted paper

Delving deeper into the heart of the matter
I could of just sacked it off
And sat about the house shattered
But I'm not (nah)

I work hard for everything I've got
I turn my hand to beats when I'm feeling lost
Sampling the greats, increasing the productivity
Counter balance focus, maintain responsibility

Watering the seeds, I admire how they grow
A vision of resilience, it really goes to show
That you can overcome the trouble, sidestep the muddy puddles
Hold your head to the sky, and wave goodbye to inner struggles

-

The warrior displacer
More than a paper chaser
Ain't nothing special 'bout a villain
Nah the boys will face ya

And make a lasting statement
Bro you got complacent
If you're shady
Then I'll treat ya to a knee replacement

Embracing change
Nah this ain't pseudo philosophy
Influences on sleeve
Shout Shikari and The Prodigy

Can't forget the Flame Griller crew, obviously
Scared of tagging Lunar 'cause the guy will probably body me

Make no apologies for what I do
Or who I am
Ying yang balance
Clark Kent, Superman

Corby raw
Nah no filter, no edits
Black mirror shard to my throat
Fifteen million merits

-

The Boys, the boys!

-

I'm like a fighter pilot
Taking the levels higher
Raising the bar
whilst your bars are getting tired

Choppin' up the beats
Pierce your ears like some dragon sai
I'm hangin' out the sunroof
Even if it's cold and grey outside

Snatching every penny
That's what I need to maintain
When we drop this EP
I'm sure we'll hit the main vein

Videos and shows
Watch the tracks turn to deep cuts
Working at the craft
Stomp your feet, get your hands up

Flash peasants
We're back on our feet my friend
Still blazing a trail
Still Bucking the trend

Flash Peasants
(We're just, we're just)
Still blazing a trail
Still Bucking the trend

Flash Peasants Corby, UK

Flash Peasants is a two man protest. Equal parts fury and vulnerability, mixing hip-hop and punk rock. Two underdogs laughing in the face of the void.
