Bull, Dan - Top Down Lyrics
[Dan Bull:]
I'm basking in the sunlight, hi-hat sizzling
Snare cracking like it's blasting in a gun fight
The pattern of the drum's tight, kick pumping in your stomach
Something like the aftermath of a drunk night
Thrash, pop, rap, punk, drazz-wop, jazz, funk
I'm beginning a vinyl collection
Thinking of buying all the decks and equipment then hitting the nightlife with a vengeance
But I've got a penchant for sitting in silence
Headphones hugging my noggin, I'm nodding my head to the said tones
I might be flesh and bones, but when I do a verse
My vibrations disperse through the universe
We can see the frequency, percieve them through the channels
I need a deeper feeling please, leave me with the ammo
White noise, clean my teeth, weaken the enamel
Please, I would leave in peace, retreating with the mammals
While leaves of trees are green at least, creeping in my camo
But a bee could see through these with ease, keys of a piano
Basked in light from black to white, from BC to Anno Domini
[Beit Nun:]
There's no questioning Ben as an artist
My musical palette's not like yours
So the same brush I'll never be tarred with
I'm a sucker for a Hendrix guitar lick
But not a purist though, Kendrick Lamar's sick
Mate, head to the bar quick
And fetch me a large drink
I'm ready to get this cigar lit
Beer garden, start a party for the neighbours like
No sympathy, Marley and the Wailers, and Bacardi with a chaser
It's getting late so it's time to slip something a little harder in the shaker
Bit of Marvin on the playlist, then The Temptations
Followed by Smokey Robinson, we marvel at the greatness
I'm Syd Barrett on Interstellar Overdrive
I'm John Bonham in a hotel on a motorbike
I'm Ray Davies on a sunny afternoon
I'm Ian Curtis, I'm John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Keith Moon
Music helped me get through all I've been through
When just me, you, and the beat loop, how can I feel blue?
I've got videos and photographs if you need proof
I've lived, though I gave my plot away in the theme tune
Beit Nun up in your iPod docking station
Feel free to get up and leave if you're not relating
But if you are, take a seat, I'm down for the long awaited conversation
Two bonding strangers have when they're off their faces

Bull, Dan Top Down Comments
I still love the snare.
Damn this song is good. I'd pay for an instrumental, let alone this version as well.
You re mind me of the streets! I love it!!
Fan of the drums here.
Is their a sample to this ?
Beit Nun is good too.
Dan.
Me.
If you need an example, I will compose an extemporaneous scherzo/freestyle to show you. You can even provide me with a topic, with words or plot points, anything.
the drum is so out of place that it works
Not sure why people have such a problem with the drums. I think they're great and fit the song perfectly!
I actually quite like the drums.. Then again, it sounds better on different headphones and a lot better on Spotify.
BTW, I'm pretty sure that's Beit Nun on the grill cooking on the album cover.
This song is amazing!! Hell ya!
I must be the only one here who seems to really like this one. Personally, i think this style is fantastic, and would love to see something similar in the future, but, majority rules i guess. Either way, keep it up dan :D
Really good job. I have already listen the entire CD and its fantastic! Keep the good job,Dan :)
I wish you stuck with songs to games like minecraft and titanfall that was the main reason I subscribed but now you just do this ;(
Let him do what his hearts tells hims to do.
We don't have to say what he does, we can only guide him.
This type of songs are real rap he doesn't have to rap about a game to be good
You're bad and you should feel bad.
I'm sorry that he doesn't know exactly what you want.
God I miss Beit Nun.
i have a feeling i have heard this beat somewhere before :D
1:20 click here to get the full album on ITunes.also available on Spotify,Amazon and the PirateBay WOW YOU DO SUPPORT PIRATING and you wouldnt care if anyone torrented your ALbum right?
I love when Beit and Dan make music together.
Thaťs music is legendary! Good job Dan and Beit :)
You know, something about this song makes it really feel... alive. Love it.
This album is coming together nicely big fan
lyrics!
Hate the loud beat, can't listen to the lyrics properly... Sorry, just my honest opinion, sue me.
And it's like this in every song of this album...
Second album I've ever bought,glad it was yours.
Loved this one. The metaphors in Dan's verse were brilliant.
so glad you've done some more with Beit Nun i got a load of his music aswell as yours so when i read '(feat. Beit Nun) it was literaly music to my ears xD
I understand the snare is meant to be like a gun in a gunfight, but at certain times it seems a bit out of place. Could you maybe have only used it in the chorus or some of the verses? Other than that it was great though, like the rest of the album so far :)q
man i dig your rhyming but the snare is honestly annoying this
love your collabs with Beit Nun. This one has nice jazzhop feel to it, reminds me of Nujabes' tracks.
I think that drum was kinda off in the beginning, but it got better near the end of Dan's verse.
meh
The beat, is amazing
Not a bad album but definitely disappointing.
@Ronnie Rose I understand the part where i completely disagree with you completely disagreeing with me completely disagreeing with you completely disagreeing with me completely disagreeing with you completely disagreeing with me completely disagreeing with you completely disagreeing with him completely disagreeing
If I tried to respond again my brain might explode.
@Ronnie Rose I completely disagree with your brain exploding.
@Ronnie Rose
Then i have won this disagreement battle. Your defeat is honorable.
I think it was a decent album overall while it definitely is different i still enjoy it.
I dislike the drum, i would like to hear the song without it or maybe with the volume of it a bit down?
snare cracking like it's blasting in a gunfight
Don't worry Dan, the pattern of the drum's tight.
Kick pumping in my stomach.
Something like the aftermath of a drunk night
Like the credits in samurai champ loo
I have to agree with the many others, the drumkit sounded out of place.
I still enjoyed the song, but I actually checked to make sure I wasn't running two videos at the same time.
This song is making love to my ears.
Didn't like it as much as the others, but still a good track.
Disappointing song after disappointing song... please just go back to game raps
This whole album has been very amazing so far, awesome work! Keep going.
Hey Dan, not criticism, I loved it but on the first "page" you wrote "ut" instead of "but". :)
I know it's unrelated but @Dan Bull please do a path of exile rap.
Guess I'm one of the few that liked the drum. It really, for some odd reason, sounded like it really fit the tone of the song.
@Eien His avatar looks like #ВізиткаЯроша
@Oleksandr Fediienko It does! But take a look at this http://img.over-blog-kiwi.com/0/78/07/19/20140716/ob_e0c32b_societe-generale1.png
Same, to me it sounds nice c:
I love the drum
i liked it to it had a classic jazz and funk feel to it
Can't tell if that snare fits in or not...sounds good, but so out of place at the same times. Genius of Dan Bull.
Wan bill? Ban Dull? Who is it, ur graemar sux btw
The snare is right on the edge of not fitting...which is why it's so good!
@ahcall911 How the fuck does his grammar suck?
@ToastySpeakers Toasty midget sux
@ahcall911 Erm, it sounds like your grammar sucks.
Hate the drums in it
Innit records, the marching army!
gotta be something wrong with the drums, which is a shame cause the lyrics are good.
Dan this album is killer!
Amazing as always. There is a mistake in the lyrics in the first verse near end it says "ut" instead of "but".
really annoying drums ..
How's the album's sales goin Dan? I hope it's doing good, you deserve it!
Your songs inspire me so much, Dan, that not long ago me and my friend decided to go to a studio and record meaningful song: Barin ft. Bebras - Albion (which is also on youtube). However, because there song is in Russian, people don't listen to it and Russians don't listen to it, because it's not about gangsters, drugs and clubs. Oh well, I've learned one lesson from you - the music is meaningful as long as you do it from your heart, expressing from soul, thinking about yourself and friends - only later about what other people might think.
Song was good but that drum in the rhythm was loud and annoying, also makes it hard to hear so of the lyrics.
man,you are awesome!
great song buuuuut I didn't really like that drum thing
I didn't like the drumming on this track it kept me from hearing your voice too much.
Any plans to do a cracking frack rap on the whole fracking malarkey here in the UK? Enjoying this album so far man keep it up.
welcome to the 301 club.
I wasn't a fan of that constant 'rattle-ley drum' sound,
other than that, It was absolutely fantastic.
Right? MY thought exactly he should remake this song I really wanna hear it without that drum.
The drum was incredible! A matter of opinion I think
Edit: Then again, I listened to it in FLAC first, sounds much cleaner than it does on youtube...
Might have just been youtube screwing up his sound maybe? Cause I don't think the drums was bad but probably got altered and made it louder than the voice I could literally hear the drums more than anything in the song.
@Abraham lopez Agreed. I dont like that drum. The song would be pretty amazing without it.
I personally think it sounds great with the snare, but maybe that's just because I like the snare being played that way, just fits in whilst being out of place.
I gotta admit, when the song first starts the drum sounds odd but then after about 20 seconds the whole song sounds amazing!
The marching drums sound a little quirky to me...
he finaly got his album so LIKE the video! he deserves it and it only takes a click and we help!
awesome, love it. keep the good work going.
I like it. :)
FIRST!! Also nice song :)
I like the lyrics, but the snare drum is off putting
WoW Epic
@Johnson McScrotum
Lmao I thought the same thing.
@KupiGaming Why capitals?
@Johnson McScrotum
Maybe he held shift too long
Yeah, world or Warcraft is great!
I've been listening to your album on Spotify. I hope you get some cash from that!
