lyrics

Never did it for the money, if I did I would have been rich by now,
Never did it for the honeys, if I did I’d be fucking a bitch right now,
Pardon my French — being profane came with the culture,
To fill the silence, mixed in with a little violence, make it vulgar,
Yeah, hit ‘em with that dumb shit, ass motherfucker shit cunt bitch,
They like that like that, did you write that? You should never switch up shit,
Wordsmith militant, am I not killin’ it with the penmanship?
Could you not make a lot of dollars adding up all of the sense I spit?
You can take that to the Bank, am I talking to a Goddamn wall?
Even with the Kiwi mop dripping my handstyle’s too technical,
So let me break it down like this, I don’t think you really feel me at all,
Take a second and you might see me reaching out between the bars,

What do these words mean to you?
Have I been talking for nothing?
What do these notes mean to you?
Have I been playing for nothing?
What do I mean to you?
Has this all been for nothing?

I’m in need of inspiration,
That’s why you’re my everything — yeah
You are my dedication — my
Medication to anything,
You pick me up but you drop me quick,
I’m sickeningly sober when you’re not my fix,
So fix it — please, come and fix me,
Now I’m mixing these pills,
With a few shots of whatever,
And even if I try, and I try,
I will never stop writing about who I wish was still here,
Fog up every verse, wipe it off and it’s clear,
The topic’s my mirror

about

Bars and Tone Ottawa, Ontario

You could say that Bars & Tone is a Canadian alternative hip hop group with a folk rock/p-funk twist — but even a statement as vague as that would pigeonhole this diverse trio.

The guys have been honing their craft, recording song after song while doubling as a production team for the artists on the collective. Each has their own sound so for Bars & Tone, versatility and openness is compulsory.
