1.	I'm Coming Home 02:36	lyrics	buy track
Like I told ya so I walked away, watched the old me go I could've stayed where the flowers grow Where the glass meets the sand and the cowards go I'm empowered bro been hanging on a minute for an hour yo been sleeping on the top of the mountain snow and I can see all the fountains gold and when i doubt myself, not reaching out for help i reach down in the ground for the hounds of hell Sounds surround my shell.. Sounds surround my shell I'm coming home and I love it Coming home and I love it I'm coming home and I love it I'm coming home I'm coming home and I love it Coming home and I love it I'm coming home and I love it I'm coming home Like I folded bro but i carry so my weight that my shoulders grow Prim, so i'll start where the ends meet That's the bars, regardless where they send me I've been rhyming over tense beats Dance pyromancer, enhance til I bend heat My wish is: your command The keys and the beats and that's all that I am! I'm coming home and I love it I'm coming home and I love it Coming hone to the roast in the oven and the throes of emotional loving Prim, it's a paradigm shift It's smooth as butter (can i clarify it?) Shit, i'm hardwired my bars are barb wire I'm hardly uninspired, my thought are darts fired I'm raw no mask like I'm lawless no task too enormous I bask in the glory of the glorious sun Until I pacify it until I pacify it I'm coming home and I love it Coming home and I love it I'm coming home and I love it I'm coming home I'm coming home and I love it Coming home and I love it I'm coming home and I love it I'm coming home
2.	Don't Shut the Door On Me 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Well it's the boom bap general A smooth cat, a moose, whatever I'm an animal I revel in levels of evidence backed credentials watch me stack pencils, pack packets of lentils Pen classics with the weight of the world I only feel the weight of the world when I wait on the world Now, the 2nd jab really got me hooked fuck a rap sheet Primitive rock the rap book I'm drawn to the page like a moth to the flame I'm known for rocking scenes, ain't a damn thing changed Prim, Can't teach a donkey to drink They're playing mind games, but it's not what you think! Kick the side chain, vibrate to live bass While they're: Stuck in the past get out of My Space bounce in place baby self-produced Spitting motherfucking flames til I melt the booth Don't shut the door on me Open it a little just to let me breathe Don't shut the door on me Open it a crack just to let me see Don't shut the door on me Open it a little just to let me breathe Don't shut the door on me Open it a crack just to let me see Now I'm back and i second it The well versed, diverse verbal executive Wreckin it the fact spitter, tactical rap Matter of fact the track splitter P-R-I-M Don't shut the door on me P R i M They want heart yet don't want to bleed Huh, so now I'm bound to the digital The virtual reality, the sound of the empirical Deep reflect like the fountains and the rivers do Bountiful and lyrical Mask off and the elbows are out The bars dropped and the phones are down Flow wild baby self produced Breathing fire over tracks til I melt the booth Don't shut the door on me Open it a little just to let me breathe Don't shut the door on me Open it a crack just to let me see Don't shut the door on me Open it a little just to let me breathe Don't shut the door on me Open it a crack just to let me see
3.	All in my head ft Olly Stern 02:54	lyrics	buy track
(It wants to) take me back to the place i came (Where i) hide my eyes and i waste away Where lies are what I tell myself And grapes on the vine all taste the same Place the blame, a twisted mind sits on my back and it whispers lies I, wanna leave this place I yearn to be free but I'm scared to change Search for freedoms in my cage Lies, a familiar taste Burn my bridges to watch the flames And clench my fists into balls of rage My position is criticising my inner view, Inner critic bitter, belittling unconditional Push it to my physical limits, I'm ridiculed Spitting intricate rhythms, doesn't change a thing! All in my head Its all in my head I know opinions fly, Believe what I think All in my head Its all in my head I know opinions fly, Believe what I think Self doubts been calling me Telling me I'll fall and it's all they'll see Telling me to crawl on fallen knees I'm a cornered beast (I'm a cornered beast) I'm sorta free (he's bound by war) My doubts are the sound of my pounding thoughts Not even allowed by guilt and shame So I fill the page from an empty place No rest for the wicked in man I slept in depths of the trickling sand This fuckin demand Its always trying to belittle my plan And I've been burnt by fire Just another resolution for the circus choir Don't have to look far for the perfect liar So I search for my worth in the verbal cypher Don't let it don't let it Don't let it build inside your mind Don't let it don't let it Don't let it build inside your mind Don't let it don't let it Don't let it build inside All in my head Its all in my head I know opinions fly, Believe what I think All in my head Its all in my head I know opinions fly, Believe what I think
4.	P-R-I-M 03:22	lyrics	buy track
I see the future from my place in the past Now it's on that up and up so I'm raising the bar Playing calm on immaculate beats Spell my name with a motherfuckin capital P I'm all booked out like a novel idea The only thing that's holding me back? That's gotta be fear This body of work will flesh out my skeletons Been looking for the facts, missing all the evidence I'm equal measurements ether and lethal veteran (My queen?) Latifah melanin coupled with high intelligence Check the sign in the Mecca of rhyme Then, bend ya neck til you're touching your spine And step back, when I'm cupping the mic And don't be hating on a brother coming up on his grind A grave sight with the skeleton crew I make mine with incredible moves P R I M (it's Primitive) P R I M (That's me) P R I M (it's Primitive) P R I M (That's me) Fresh writtens the lyrical technician Meticulous set driven, yep Primitive wrecks rhythms I'll take what I like but that's just a given I can swallow my pride and still be the best spitting I harness mystics to the ink in my pen And envision the inscriptions that are depicted in lead Think again if you're thinking that it's all in your head A short fall when you crawl in the depths But I'm keeping it fresh, now they're telling me there's truth in pain I'm at a loss but abuse the gain (and the truth remains) They hand it to you with a slap on the wrist They're cashed up, say they hating capitalists? So back up, my brother I am back in this bitch They never blame it on themselves so now they smackin they kids I take flight in a pelican suit I make mine with incredible moves P R I M (it's Primitive) P R I M (That's me) P R I M (it's Primitive) P R I M (That's me) They're asking bout my my profits but that's none of their business I'm strapped in the cockpit, ready to rock-et I maintain til my arms are scratched Then brutalise beats, what's the harm in that? Fleshed out like a shark attack And they call themselves rappers but hardly rap! Facts, I'm pulled in for the blowback Pill poppers glamorise nodoze, prozac They mumble raps and their flows oh so whack Whats the point if the game just don't match? So grab your map and your GPS We're going down south to be destressed Hell yes, to bounce round completely fresh Play it loud til the tweakers and the speakers flex The grape vines got a hell of a root I take mine with incredible moves P R I M (it's Primitive) P R I M (That's me) P R I M (it's Primitive) P R I M (That's me)

about

Prim is back with his brand new EP titled A Cut Above.
The EP boasts 2 fully self-produced tracks from ya boi plus a co-produced collab and another boom bap banger produced by underground legend Dan the Underdog.
The EP is naturally bar-heavy with the smooth, intricate flows of Primitive while the music itself showcases the evolution of Prims vocal development coupled with the addition of piano chord progressions and melodies. Everything is mixed by yours truly and the EP has been mastered by Caustic Yoda.
Enjoy you beautiful legends!
