mania (extended edition) - ettrick shepherd lyrics

[verse 1]
no disrespect
i’ll f-ck up mcs and you’ve been affected
haven’t climbed the ranks to the winner yet
but when i do i’m makin’ fissures in his career then finish
the windows into my life ain’t tinted
so everything i’ve ever done everyone knows i did it
my ep flopped but i refused to flop with it
gimme the beat and the verse and watch me rip it
for real all these other rappers are boring
i’m staying seated, i don’t have to applaud it
nah, i’d rather turn my back and ignore ‘em
they they think they’re hotter than a lit match in a sauna
i’m a starving artists – forever poor
while these millionaires don’t know their metaphors
they are a million heirs to the throne that they own so we’re all
competing and doing the sh-t we do on our own
i would rather collaborate
cos together we can achieve and won’t have to wait
instead we got this goal that all rappers chase
and sometimes it feels like a drag race
if it is contest i’m determined to win
to show ‘em all up remove my worth from the bin
it’s been a tough ride, i’m still unsigned
but that’s irrelevant cos i take the hurt on the chin
most are gonna say words to wound my will
but when i get big you’ll get burnt for your sins
that’s the only time that you’ll ever be hot
i’ll forever be on and i’ll never be off

[hook]
i wanna bring mania
i crave to be the best in australia
and i know that my thoughts can be sporadic at times
but they’re only ever gonna get crazier

[verse 2]
i’ma give it my best
and i ain’t ever gonna give it a rest
i’m manic and when it come to this sh-t i’m obsessed
not the greatest thing for me so picture the mess
i don’t have a match but i’m still hot as f-ck
i’m done preaching now i’m all about bossin’ up
hit rock bottom, now i’m toppin’ up
i got the sk!ll for this so f-ck rotten luck
hey girl, release the latch
cos i ain’t your puppet, no strings attached
never gonna give you a kinky slap
your wish ain’t my command, what you think of that?
i wasn’t born as a ragin’ baby
had a lady play me and a mate betray me
anybody who’s said sh-t about me lately
if you honestly think that you’re safe you’re crazy
i got scores to settle and bones to pick
and i’m no longer gonna lay low with it
emerging from my dungeon, guns blazing
cos i’m running low on patience so f-ck waiting
i got a bunch of fans i wanna touch base with
i’m still grinding, here’s an update kids
the public takes my art as love/hate
cos there are peeps who love it while some hate it

[hook]
i wanna bring mania
i crave to be the best in australia
and i know that my thoughts can be sporadic at times
but they’re only ever gonna get crazier

[verse 3]
uh, i took a break for a second
now back to work and making a record
carving a sequel, creating a second
see the rap game? i’m aiming to wreck it
sorry to anyone who may be affected
by my obsessive waging rage and aggression
listening to me is like taking a lesson
and sometimes there might be hate in the message
still i’m making an effort
while what other people create ain’t even vaguely impressive
and i know that the haters resent it
i’ve started dropping so lately i’ve sensed it
i understand i gotta be patient to get it
in too deep and too late for an exit
your wraps are sh-t, i ate them for breakfast
why are you even taking the credit?

[verse 4]
in a way life is a song
that plays all day and night ’til it’s gone
i’ma chuck an overnighter
this is dope and fire like i’m lighting a bong
started with me – people played the sh-t
no hook but i got away with it
the rest of the project got played a bit
but mostly it flopped and there’s no saving it
i guess is success is hard to get right
until then, i’ma hold my head high
do what i can just to get by
in my room with a pad and a lead pipe
i feel sh-t in the day so i write at night
staying up late tryna find the vibe
and after it’s done i feel quite alright
it’s that self-pleasure kind of grind
if your mood’s low then i’m lifting it
cos this is the present i was gifted with
and i was gifted with the gift at the present moment
no one else has it, i’m blessed to own it, yo
