The "Corpus I" mixtape by New York hardcore brawlers Show Me The Body is one of the most exciting releases this year: a sprawling collection of bad ass songs and daring experiments, sometimes shouty, sometimes political and always all-in. 'Talk' is their newest single; it's a pretty straightforward chest punch and a warning to back off if you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is.
Lyrics:
Talk. Walk same hear it when they talk shame it don't matter much same still it come across pain. I think that its enough they getting up they dressing up for what, i try to laugh, but in my throat its stuck they are so punk they are so core for what, just show me one, who belongs to no one, Huh? Show me one. Anyone. Back, when I was young had to put em up down Rivington is where i got my gloves crusts and some mugs taught me how to love sleepin in a rut i put my finger in the cut. You wanna say words but i ain't hearing none i say it to myself just to keep my head up i put it on my shelf I tell no one who got family the day to talk comes, Who? Walk, talk, they try to teach me how to walk, talk. Nothing said makes us friends nothing said makes us blood nothing said makes us friends nothing said makes us blood nothing said makes us friends nothing said makes us blood nothing said makes us friends feel it when i walk same hear it when they talk shame see it when i must pain it don't matter none they try to teach me how to walk, talk they try to teach me how to walk, talk.
