Malone Lives Lyrics

I wanna grow up to be a funky Euripides
The fly on the street, the beat bat the breeze
What, the ease, what release, to be or to be not
And see not and hear not

Come on, it's not that a big of a deal, just another mouth to
Feed and another breath to steal I feel
I'm loosing my grip about to slip
About to fall off the wagon and have another sip

Periodic fake divines, these times as we see 'em are
Packed with cons that can't wait to see him
The cave the cathedral, the peasant the pope
The hope of the people is a prayer for dope

All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say, yea

All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say

And we choke in the vomit of our belief
And we grave as we go on in disbelief
In this world in this life that we are living
Where it is nobler to take than to be giving

Stop get behind excess stress and no caress
This form of society is making a mess
Moreover it's over and it's a damn crime
How many we are killing in the meantime?

All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say yeah

All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say

So I'm pushed to my feet so I can beat the air
That was giving me heat way back over there
It's only fair to give guy a slack the big aphrodisiac
The new jack the ever confusing cool cat

Now see me fly on the Nashville skyline
Walking the fine line, reciting a new line
Holding my balls while taking the calls
Sorry we're closed I'm on the bottom of the Niagara falls

But I still believe and with so little to give
I don't wanna deceive only Malone to live
We take it back that the hope is the dope
The dope's the hope in the shape of a rope

All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say yeah

All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say

We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight
We wanna dance tonight, we wanna dance inside
We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight

We wanna dance tonight, we wanna dance inside
We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight
We wanna dance tonight, we wanna

Quarashi is a rap/hip-hop band from Reykjavík, Iceland, active from 1996 through 2005, then they reunited in 2016 to work on a new album. It is comprised of Höskuldur "Hössi" Ólafsson (replaced by Tiny (real name Egill Ólafur Thorarensen) on the final album), who was the lead vocalist and frontman of the group, Omar Swarez (Ómar Örn Hauksson), who served as a rapper and hype man, and Steini a.k.a. Stoney (Steinar Orri Fjeldsted), who also served as a rapper and hype man. The fourth member of the group was Sölvi Blöndal, who played drums and was the main songwriter/producer. For live shows, Quarashi was joined by a guitarist (Smári Tarfur), a bassist (Gaukur Úlfarsson), and a DJ (DJ Magic).

The group has a loyal following, especially in their native Iceland. Each of their records (Switchstance, Quarashi, Xeneizes, Kristnihald undir Jökli, Jinx, Guerilla Disco) have sold well in their homeland. Quarashi was a rap group, but they combined elements of rock, techno, and funk into their songs, lending an air of unpredictability in their music. Comparisons to Rage Against The Machine, Eminem, and The Beastie Boys are often heard when discussing Quarashi, but the group had their own unique style that distinguished them from other famous rap/rock groups. Their influences ranged from Public Enemy (Blöndal says that P.E.'s Fear Of A Black Planet is what inspired him to make music) to Led Zeppelin, and that can be heard in their songs.
