James Blake – Life Round Here feat. Chance The Rapper

Singer-songwriter/producer James Blake has released his new video for his collaboration with Chance the Rapper on the “Life Round Here” remix. The original track is featured on Blake’s latest LP, Overgrown. A sense of trespassing is felt as Blake and Chance ride around and attract stares from everyone they pass on the streets.

James Blake Feat. Chance The Rapper “Life Round Here” (Official Video)

You Need To Hear This has the official video for the new single “Life Round Here”, a collaboration between James Blake and Chance The Rapper. The video, shot entirely in black and white, tracks Blake and Chance as they cruise in a lowrider through an eerie forest inhabited by stallions and Somalian pirates. “I love juxtapositions,” says the video’s award-winning director Nabil, “so I thought I’d bring an old school lowrider to the countryside in England, and bring the two together in a way that makes people question things.”

James Blake – Life Round Here feat. Chance The Rapper Lyrics:
[Hook: James Blake & Chance the Rapper]
Part time love is the life ’round here.
We’re never done.
Now we’re at square one.
Life ain’t been ’round here in a minute.
Here ain’t been ’round my whole life.
And we waited too long.
Chaos been ’round for a minute.
Marketed, bottled it up.
But wear that fake smile like a cape.
Save yourself first, save yourself first.

[Verse 1: James Blake]
Part time love is the life ’round here.
We’re never done.
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day.
Part time love is the life ’round here.
We’re never done.
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day.
Now we’re at square one.
And we waited too long.
So we’re back to square one.

[Verse 2: Chance the Rapper]
Why every time I land in London, land of Lincoln all on my mind?
I plan to plane it back after playin’ a packed show in due time.
I’m ’round about I bought a round of English ale for my pals.
A bouncer sold a ounce of rubbish weed to me for like 200 pounds.
I think my english’s getting real real bad.
Cause this dumb bitch said I’m real real bad.
No sprechen sie Dumb but I’m real, real good.
Dark skinned Mike but I still feel bad.
I’m a chill pill addict.
I wonder if God’s still magic.
I wonder if Nas stillmatic.
Down under the north it’s still havoc.
Run around wonderin’, wanderin’, ponderin’ life.
Life ’round here, when.
Life ain’t really been ’round here in some times.
Sometimes it’s no one ’round here.
[Hook]
[Outro: Chance the Rapper & James Blake]
I ain’t been ’round here in a minute.
But you ain’t been ’round a whole lot.
My flesh went through the peoples in this peephole.
And said the keyhole and kept the door locked.
Part time love is the life ’round here.
And wear that fake smile like a cape.
Save yourself first, save yourself first.
Part time love is the life ’round here.
We’re never done…
Save yourself first.
