Verse



Since I was a kid I was an MC villain

I held many mics and tore down many a ceilin`

They used to say that I was bound to fail

Because my skin was pale I couldn`t get a sale

I took an idea, put it into gear

Disappeared for a year and a bit, now it`s all clear

Sky`s the limit and miles more

All the while tryna get another foot in the door

It`s hard though, but as the years evolved

And other problems solved the deeper we became involved

Every night I used to write

Makin` sure the rhymes were tight, steppin` away from the light

As the seconds ticked applause follows

Groundhog tomorrows, sick of all the fake hellos

I must break from the nonsense

At the expense of those who play false pretence

The evidence I leave is permanent

With demos hit studios where money was spent

Also, flow so, dictate on a micro-tape

One day I`m gonna blow so, cos I said so

The material raw, ready for streets

Better grab seats cos there ain`t no repeats

Food to fill the belly give me energy

People sayin` I`m my worst enemy

But hey, talk is cheap, you must be asleep

Wake up cos on streets you ain`t defendin` me

Daddy said, "Look out for the punks who ride backs

Two pound acts", I`m like yeah, then he reacts

"They lack principles, quick money they chase

But son, you`ve got the morals, you`re invincible

I know hard work finally pays

There`s gonna be bad days and good days, but anyway

Stay strong, it might happen quick or take long

It`s definite, my calculations have never been wrong"

I heeded the words of intelligence

Spoke by the man I respect the most, and then he left

Earth seems to be a long way from home

My boy is only two and already holds a microphone

Touch wood, things are gonna get good

For `95-6-7-8-9, 2000

Alright, I know I made mistakes

Slippery snakes took a chunk of the cakes that`s where the chain

breaks

Huh, this is a new beginnin`

Thank God for the strength to keep me goin`

And thank those who gave support when times were rough

Keep watchin` this space cos I`ll be blowin`

The only question is when will I ignite?

And then hold a mic and maybe strike again

Sooner than you think, who could loop and link

Lyrics together where your time`s seen competitors sink

Desperation with his hands around my neck

The clip is unbreakable, it just takes a sec

But wait, stuck in a room with the same four walls

I wanna get away, I must make some calls

I need some money first, water to quench my thirst

So many things on my mind, it`s gonna burst

Tsk... Damn it, I`m fed up

I`m better than this, I deserve more than this

Tryna convince myself it ain`t all bad

But in the meantime I think I`m goin` crazy

Call the media, tell `em I quit

I don`t need the papers on my back every time I hit

That`s it, so I slip into darkness

It`s a hell of a life on the planet bein` an artist.
