VERSE 1:
- I swear I ain’t even started
- Still regarded as an artist
- Who’s a veteran in this section
- And its section in this market
- Slept on but it’s bless
- I use it best to my advantage.
- Crept on to the throne
- They didn’t suspect me as a target
- Respected by the greatest
- History in the making
- See me in the studio and you’ll witness it being created.
- Pupils dilated, dialled into the Matrix.
- Elijah on the mic., reciting fire from the pages.
- Flying across the globe, I’d rather be beside my babies
- Music is my escape cause the pavement is kind of crazy.
- My patience is kind of flaky
- My temper is tiny lately
- But I won’t swim in the mainstream
- Don’t like where it’s trying to take me.
- The industry irritates me
- They manufacture the fake
- Instead of pushing the real
- Cause the real won’t get them paid.
- See you’re getting more views
- But I’m getting paid shows
- But UK radio never played me
- So no I’m not complaining
- I’m grateful but not complacent
- If labels are saying grace
- Tell them to save me some extra places.
- I’m on my way to their table
- Today to put extra weight on
- The pace of my movement’s dangerous
- It pains me to put the brakes on
- Enemies want to play me
- OK, tell them it’s game on
- It’s guaranteed I’m damaging any beat with my name on
- Any feature they pay me
- To shower I let it rain on
- And they ain’t in my league
- Cause they ain’t made from what I’m made from.
CHORUS
VERSE 2:- Every time they think they’ve killed me
- I come back again
- This is God’s plan
- You can never stop it from happening.
- Had a few snakes
- Turned my back they stuck their daggers in
- Scavenging savages, happy to see the back of them
- Certain mans leave the camp
- But crawl back again
- Asking for forgiveness
- It’s pitiful and embarrassing
- Look you made your choice
- You were happy then
- That was your decision
- Be a man and back it then.
- I’m on to bigger things
- I’m sick of being sick of things.
- Figured it’s as simple as dedication and discipline.
- I swear of my supporters
- I love you, I’m never giving in
- Trust me, it’s been a mission
- Emotional but we’re winning it.
- Most of all, I’ve been giving my soul
- Can’t hold it, it’s written in blood
- Blood all over the page
- And I’m holding the page it’s written in.
- Move all over the stage, and they say my stage shows are riveting
- Cause this is how it is when you stop dreaming and start living it.
- And it ain’t about your pains
- It’s how you deal with them
- I’m downing painkillers
- And listening to Karl Pilkington.
- The pills are just for toothache
- It’s nothing man, I deal with them
- Right now I’m trying to call Richard Russell
- To get a deal with him.
- Man I’m done with “almost made it”
- Streets are filled with them
- Tell them I gotta knock them down
- If I can’t build with them.
- And tell my competition that I feel for them
- They’re in front of my goals
- And God knows I’m willing to kill for them.
- Yeeah!
