STIG OF THE DUMP
- I’m too sick, the truth is, that I couldn’t give two shits
- If you think I’m a huge dick, then the shoe fits
- But I’m a chuck a size 11 boot until you're toothless
- On my own at your show, telling you ya crew’s bitch
- Watch the mood switch, crazy to insane
- They say I got a chemical imbalance in my brain
- I ain’t different, them lot are the same
- Forget the fame, this ain’t a game, I’m tryna battle with my pain
- Can you feel it? Yeah! I know that you can feel it
- You might think I’m shit but can’t deny that I’m the realest
- I ain’t a pessimist, pathetic pricks, I’m just a realist
- Were born to die so crawl inside I’ll show you what the deal is
- I don’t a need a deal bitch, I live to smash the show
- I know that with the majors I’d have major cash to blow
- Tinchy Strider had a number 1, I’m happy for the bloke
- But that don’t change the fact I want to stab him in his throat
- See raps a massive joke but I ain't laughing at it though
- It seems like everybody’s stacking that imaginary dough,
- I don’t care if you’re the type to aim the strap & let it go
- I’ll tell you to your face that I think your pathetic bro
- See real recognise real, & all I see is strangers
- Just a bunch of try hards, tryna make it famous
- I used to do it to escape but I just wasted ages
- Now I’m tryna find myself inside the words I pen on pages
- That’s what happens once you stick your head inside the matrix
- It’s hard to fathom like the very second life’s created
- I used to over analyse but took it back to basics
- Once I double necked a couple reds, & woke up on that space ship
- So while you agents shape shift, I’ll continued to evolve,
- Until I can see the world in binary code
- Try comprehending it, your mind will explode
- & I’ll be on that Bill Hicks roller coaster, riding home
- Reporting life, live from inside my dome
- Where even my inner demons are scared to the spend the night alone
- Keep ya plastic happiness, I’m tryna find my own
- & gettin' closer every single time I hold the microphone
- You can tell just but my tone, that I mean every word I say
- I’m focused on the truth, they’re focused on a turn of phrase
- It took me until now to snap but it was worth the wait
- Cos I’ve learned more about myself with every track I burnt to date
- & id trade every single penny that I’ve ever worked to make
- for a chance to earn my place before I hit that early grave
- Cos even though the system got my vision turning grey
- I still believe in love within this bitter world of hate
- This is my listeners, sitting burning grade
- For the little me, digging in my mother’s purse for change
- For every other mistake I’ve had the nerves to make
- Cos they’re the reason I became the person that I am today
- So if you’re thinking, who the hell are you?
- I'm one dude left that still chooses to tell the truth
- Every day I do something that they’ll never do
- I live for my art, they think the culture is for revenue
- I do need to collect the odd cheque or two
- For rent, not to mention the brews that I’m getting through
- but I’m a rebel when I pen a tune
- So if ya stepping to my crew, I bet ya get ya effing head removed
- Art over money, Love over everything
- That’s why id die for my music & my next of kin
- Sometimes I get stressed, get mad depressed & think
- To end it all, but rest assured the pessimist will never win
- Cos there's optimist hidden deep inside me
- An honest voice of hope that only ever speaks silently
- And you can hear it, you just gotta listen close enough
- Cos its only ever heard on the occasions that I open up
- I’m extrovertly introverted,
- So if you think my bars are just bag of jokes
- You must have missed the purpose
- Sometimes you got to dig beneath a hidden surface
- Pick apart the words I guarantee you’ll see a different person
- Listen to the verses, I admit it isn’t perfect
- But I refuse to spoon feed you news week, it isn’t worth it.
- Think deep; speak dumb, I’m a cryptic wordsmith.
- Cos my soul’s so philosophical but my brain is ill equipped to serve it
- And I’ve never written one bar for the listener
- I’m just tryna map the meaning of my thoughts out onto A4
- Sometimes I get trapped inside my mind like I’m a prisoner
- But I escape free from my demons when I walk across the stage floor
- The microphones my confidante, my confessions are all rhythm based
- I shed my insecurities on beats and hope they dissipate
- Destiny is manmade, there’s no such thing as fate
- So While you marvel at the stars, I’ll be investigating inner space
- I guess some of us were never made to fit in
- So over time we learnt to generated a thick skin
- They say Life’s too short, celebrate existing
- I say life’s too long, get blazed & swig gin
- Bring the fat lady, I’m dying hear the bitch sing
- Up in court shouting fuck the law as the pigs grin
- See I live where the quids king
- Shit's grim, but wait until sobriety kicks in
- Yeah, I know man, I’ll Crack a brew with ya
- Back a few, strap a zoot, slap a few hipsters
- My fam’s like, what’s with the attitude Mr.?
- As I paper over cracks with a pack of blue rizla
- You get the picture, I just say nothin'
- When in reality I’m up late pacing
- All ever is hear that I should stay patient
- And things will get better but they just ain't changing, nah
- More of the same old
- Brain waves, say that I’m a slave to the pain so,
- I look for love I once lost on the way home
- I need more than my name embossed on a grave stone
- They don’t, they need to be famous
- I’m tryna supersede the human greed that seems to plagues us
- From stories in the news you see or choose to read in papers
- We define ourselves with terms they use to separate us
- So this is dedicated to all of my Haters
- To every radio DJ that never played us
- To artists & promoters who’s asked me for a favour
- ‘Til I need one in return & then they treat me like a stranger
- Later, don’t think that I’ll forget because I won’t
- I got love for everybody that was honest when we spoke
- But to everyone who thinks that I’m a failure cos I’m broke
- You’re a joke & I stand by every word I’ve ever wrote
