I'm not a rapper,
I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit of spitting
Quicker lyrics you know
You found me ripping the writtens
Out of the pages they sit in
And never once I get bitten
Because plagiarism is hidden
Which I would sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label,
but didn't listen to any criticism
Thought you knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
Studio is a system
And you could say
that I'm driven
And now it's on to the next saga
We drink the best lager
I never tried to win you over
Like your stepfather
I do my own thing now,
and get respect after
And I'm avoiding cocaine
like it was Get Carter
For four years I never had a place to stay
But it's safe to say that it kept
me grounded like a paperweight
At sixteen years old,
yeah I moved out of my home
I was Macy Gray I tried to say
goodbye and I choked
And went from sleeping at
the subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
and adding to the population
Not my imagination,
I don't wanna relax
Would it hurt your reputation
if I put it on wax?
rhythm and blues
With my rap pack
I'll be singing the news
Trying to act like Jack Black
when I bring 'em to school
I'll make a beat with my feet
by just hitting a loop
Bringing the lyrics to prove
that I can fit in these shoes
I give you the truth through
the vocal booth
Stars burst out on the scene
like an opal fruit
They try and take aim like Beckham when
he goes to shoot
But then again that's what
they're supposed to do
And I'm supposed to be calm
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering everything that happens
is from now on
I'll be ready to start again
at the end of the song
Still their claiming that
I handled it wrong
But then I never had an enemy,
except for NME
But I'll be selling twice as many copies
as the magazines will ever be
With only spectacles ahead
of me and festival fees
I'm healthier than a Dal
matian on Pedigree
Singing for the masses
Rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this rapping a habit
And keep on fashioning magic
I'm battling for respect
I don't know if I'll have it
This songs from the heart
Cover the planet
I'll take it back now
Now I don't ever want to be perfect
'Cause I'm a singer that you
Never want to see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone
has to win worst-dressed
Taking Taking my first
steps into the scene
Giving me focus
Putting on a brave face,
like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change
Thinking it was hopeless
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
'Cause every day some lyrics
And a melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart break
But drinking absinthe can change
your mind-state, vividly
vividly
I need to let my liver be
And I say it again
Living life on the edge
With a closed hand full of friends
Is good ad vice from a man
Who took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him
blowing up globally
'Cause that's how it's supposed
to be
I'm screaming out vocally
It might seem totally impossible
Achieving life's dreams
But, but I just write schemes
I'm never having a stylist,
giving me tight jeans
Madison Square Garden
is where I might be
But more likely
You'll find me in the back
Room of a dive bar with my mates
Having a pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
That we'll never betray
The way we were raised
Remembering our background
Sat down
That's how we plan it out
It's time to take it back now
