lyrics

If I'm going to be the lightning
Then I'll need you to be the thunder
Pick as many grapes up in the vineyard
Before they put us under
Athirst to catch a blunder CHECK MATE
Can you calculate 5 steps ahead
Glimpse your soul they start to salivate
But enough of that "They" stuff
It's you and me, soon to be a unity
Takin' a look back at human history
We can understand the present day
With bills to pay and no excuses
Positive or Negative?
You behold! You can choose it!
You can lose it like your mind
Sell your soul for a credit line
Someone else'll write your rhymes
We found your woman "In The Pines"
Belly full of lead. My Aura shines red.
Decree the spoken word to get you zombies out of bed
Write a Rubaiyat instead of watching television sets
Quit standin' in line kid
And start writing rhymes kid
It's time to spill the wine and be the light that shineth!

Music and Family,
That's the way it's got to be
Walking through these streets
You know these kids they new lobotomies
But I'm against the surgery
So can we close the curtains please?
Act III, Enter Harvey
Stage left
Make a dent
Lets repent
Enter Ampersand
Center Stage
Holds us down
Get's 'em paid
Enter Whistle
Stage Right
Takin' flight
Keeps you bumpin' through the night
Inner sight
Paints a picture of the name so you're searching for us right
Amethyst in my hand
Fill the paper with the pen
Ink blot
Gotta find a place to stop
So symmetrical it's not
The garage was just the top
Now we're getting to the bottom of it all
Now or never make the call

Quit standing in line kid
And start writing rhymes kid
It's time to spill the wine
And be the light that shineth!

about

Harvey & Whistle Gainesville, Florida

Harvey & Whistle are a completely independent Hip/Hop-Indie duo. With Whistle holding down attention-to-detail production, and Harvey bringing the no-holds-barred approach to his vocals and instrumentation, there's not a lot these two can't do together. The music speaks for itself. ... more
