Charles Hamilton Isn’t Sonic? Lyrics

The SEGA reunion
I was the baby of the movement
Charles Hamilton: may be crazy but he be doing music
He really loves it, and we love him too
How could the public not love him, is that true?

Of course my tattoo is Jay Dee, carved on my arm
Sharp as could be was the razor
The razor was silver
, or was it Silver?
Or am I just getting iller while listening to Dilla?
And of course Shadow the ultimate darkness
Kind of led to a hard defense from me
Cause I always believed in my darkness
I see him and I see me, I see why I'm retarded
But he's not a reflection, as a matter of fact he got some news from the west wind
"Yeah you're Sonic in your mind
But there's another Sonic I can find"
That was his bottom line

[Hook]
Sound is always there within my mind
How am I not Sonic is a question of mine
Without my blue I swear I'm deaf dumb and blind
Or is it time for me to lose my mind?

Turns out Dilla is Sonic
So all my music from 2008 -- feel it or not -- he got it

But what about me? I spent my existence being blue
Like I always did with my depression, trying to see it through
I see it's true too
True to the blue, true to the speed
Is he possibly truer than me?
More than likely, cause blue is the sea
When it's not polluted, you see?
And the R-E-D is like your eyes when you're high
I find out I was Sonic meantime when I was high
So I probably got lied to
This is all a big conspiracy
So please understand why I don't think you're hearing me
The fear in me says i'm honestly dead
And this is a dream come true, but in my head
And my eyes are still closed, so at least I still see pink
But honestly lately I don't see anything

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Since he first Crash Landed onto the scene, Charles Hamilton has repeatedly claimed to be Sonic the Hedgehog and pledged allegiance to SEGA (see link-original video missing).
While it may seem completely random, this is all based on what Charles calls his supersonic philosophy of life. To break it down: sonic means pertaining to sound (see: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sonic), hedgehogs make their burrows underground (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog), and Charles Hamilton goes underground to make music. Sonic. The. Hedgehog. Got it?

The introductory track from Charles Hamilton 2013’s project “STH ZERO: The Death of Charles Hamilton” breaks the shocking truth that Charles Hamilton is in fact not Sonic the Hedgehog. Charles has channeled the spirit of Sonic in his music since 2008 – This news hits Charles like a ton of bricks.
