lyrics

Check me out!

I know you didn’t think I’d be here
Rocking the mic
Now you’re trying to be near,
Bitch take a hike
Can you hear me loud and clear?
Are my lips shinning bright?
Get your ass up into gear
I came to dazzle tonight.
I’m hoping all my peers don’t try to put up a fight
I wasn’t joking never feared I wouldn’t be living this life
I feel I’m floating it appears that I stepped into the light
I see you chocking on your beer hope you will be alright.
This place where I am standing wasn’t easy to get through
Broken relationships and two trimesters to get through
Loads of us have kids but I had already got two
Though it worked out in the end
‘Cause all my drive I get through you.
No more lying, trying, hiding things I want to say
Don’t start denying, crying hoping I’ll just go away
If you this this part’s about you then it shows you’re vain
You don’t have a heart to doubt through
Therein lies the shame.

So I spoke to different people, they tried giving me advice
Sat calmly, speaking softly; pretending to be polite
Listened to most of it I just don’t think I’ll be so nice
You know why? ‘Cause I find my rhyme here- in real life
You know family’s behind a lot of stress and strain
Also, life without them wouldn’t be the same
Never the one to ride the smooth, always against the grain
Leaving me with things inside that I just can’t contain.
I remember times when like seemed to be a fairy-tale
Crystallised I find all kinds of uncovered betrayals
I’ll bide my lines, stand up for mine and when it’s all unveiled
I’ll have put it all to rhyme but with it all entailed.
There was something that I saw in a book that I read
It’s been munching at the thoughts going round in my head
While assuming I had brought on all the things that were said
I heard you only live once- and then you are dead.

You can consider this a warning ‘cause I’m not talking shite
I feel that bigger things are calling, so fast I’ holding tight
Knowledge you want me to keep falling helps me strive for my plight
To top it off I’ll do it all while I’m a high as a kite
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t land just on the roll of a dice
Gritted my teeth and clenched my fists until my knuckles turned white
It’s firm you minimise me ‘cause I say the things you don’t like
I turn my skinny arse to face you baby- take a bite
I sick and tired of always trying to keep people happy
Bitches wind up my emotions till there’s none left for me
As you started to ambush I began to break free
That’s when I open up my arms I can feel the breeze
No matter what I did I knew that they would never be pleased
Turned backs to many things about me others chose to see
Maybe that was just the way it was supposed to be
Amazed that you are disappointed but I will succeed.
