Talking about struggling with where I come from, my background and making it rapping.
lyrics
Yes im from foxton am I destined to fail, like a yacht in the ocean that needs the best wind to sail, im feeling trapped in this life like arrest with no bail, feeling useless and worthless with every breath i inhale, its like my heart is now developing a cleft its so frail, theres a storm in my head im always left in the hail, but I will never rest in this hell, no more second guessing myself, im sick of stressing with doubt, and obsessing it out, I had to start assessing my route, im not digressing about, how depressing it felt, but im confessing it now, im addressing my vow, having no ones blessing was foul, ive been repressing the sound, of those expressing their found, hate theres no resting my frown, my feelings I was dressing no gown, but no more messing around, its time to start testing my ground, im gonna start besting my downs, the I hope ive requested I found, with a bit of support I know I can start cresting this mound.
I'm on the edge, flirtin' with ambition, feels like I've gone to bed, hurtin', reminiscin, the mirror shatters, broken dreams and bad luck, the reality is frozen and the insanity is stuck.
This wasn't decided overnight, i told you my love was astronomy, yes, but the reason that im cold with fright, Is that everything 'round me is falling apart, and my parents have a hard time calling this art, all I ever fucking wanted just from them was support, And now their disappointment is sending me war, now I'm coming off it and the luxury fades, all the ugliness drains out my thunderous face, feels like I punctured my brain, cus the wondrous pain, that I'm feeling is just the sane meeting the lust of the fame, the same people that I trust are the people that I love, and all they can think is that their evil is enough? im seething but the fucking reason that i need rap, im a bad seed that can't see the honesty, i keep track, I cannot scream back or else my throat will be sad, how complacent is that? i see that my dream's can't
I'm on the edge, flirtin' with ambition, feels like I've gone to bed, hurtin', reminiscin, the mirror shatters, broken dreams and bad luck, the reality is frozen and the insanity is stuck.
2 years I’ve been rapping behind a closed curtain, now im most certain its time to open it and show my exposed version, the side of me that’s always dreamt of making it big, but those dreams can be broken like breaking a twig, that’s why I’ve kept them deep inside now im making me dig, im finally gonna chose I want my dreams to be reality, I want my voice heard I don’t care about a salary, I will give this my best until its heaven or hell I see, I’ll face my demons head on like a collision, I’ve learnt through my years that life is a mission, everyday im looking ahead cus in my sight is my visions, to some this may sound overrated but by a few I know im hated, and that’s how I know I’ll make it, all these haters keep me motivated I’ll never let them get to me, cus that will get in the way of the rapper that im yet to be, and I will never put that in jeopardy, so over this all my fears i’ma set them free, cus nothing can hold me back except for me,
I'm on the edge, flirtin' with ambition, feels like I've gone to bed, hurtin', reminiscin, the mirror shatters, broken dreams and bad luck, the reality is frozen and the insanity is stuck.
