xxi - ettrick shepherd lyrics

[verse]
this is second nature to me, the school system doesn’t teach it
thoughts are racing in my brain, my mind isn’t blank but the beat is
so it might as well go in until i’m braindead
still hungry * gotta spit it real to stay fed
cos if i go without food it’d eat my soul
chipping away at this and i’d be stupid to leave or fold
regulating heat but i’m choosing to be this cold
chasing the dough for my country * stay true to the green and gold
sipping dry while visualise what i’d be like if i had a
different life, would i hustle at the lows and celebrate when i hit the highs?
that’s the polar opposite * i don’t wanna have to pick a side
i’d rathеr be both to relate to еveryone through these wicked rhymes
i’m a double agent * a hard worker and a troubled youth
i rap for love but adding harsh words is what i love to do
got that freshness in every verse but it’s nothing new
life was easy then it got far worse but i’m punching through
cos it got far better too, a work ethic and great friends
some lived in my memories * i evict those who don’t pay rent
they didn’t care anyway so they’re outta here when i say when
they may not have taken the baggage with them and i won’t play pretend
still pushing forward and looking toward the light
accepting the fact that what i have is crooked abnormal life
i need time off from my demons but i couldn’t there’s more to fight
so here goes the take off for a rocky and stormy flight
when i wake up in the morning i’m excited to work
whenever i have spare moment i’m writing a verse
finish the thing even if i don’t like it at first
i see it out ’til the end * just keep typing the words
new breakthroughs cop hate but not me cos i’m up late
proofing that i deserve it * this is something i’ve got on lock mate
so to summarise, i’m aware it’s probably selfish
but i wanna be famous and better than everybody else is
nothing personal against you, i’m not attacking you
not even wasting time on others * that’s my new attitude
i’m running own race i don’t care what other rappers do
not to say i won’t collab with a couple of you and snap a few
don’t be bullish, or you’ll see shepherd turn to a jackaroo
grab the whip to smack and hit you into shape so you have to move
i’m in practice mode, hanging out in my cr*ppy clothes
doesn’t even matter though, got punchlines like someone who’s i’m cracking jokes
got something to say, trying to push through the struggle and pain
tryna fulfil my desires, it isn’t my fault the greed and hunger’s insane
it isn’t my fault that i’m numb in the brain, the thunder and rain left a number of
stains but i’m airing it like dirty laundry as i’m coming of age
i launch off my pad and ricochet to the skies
even though some b*tches hate the sh*t i say on the mic
inspiration is like lightning in a bottle and i used to sip it straight
now it’s like it’s my veins cos i’m drinking days into nights
inspiration racing round the track and i used to let it
pass cos i knew at one point it would come back
until i made a promise to myself no more of that
now no matter what my brain is thinking words fall through the cracks
spring up out of nowhere like a jack in the box
probably wonder what happened to me, not a thing, i am back on the top
i’m the realest some of the others are fake as the cash that i got
i’m the realest never change up cos i think the cameras are off
f*ck the fashion or copping the newest bag or the flashiest watch
i’ve got my eyes on the prize and i won’t abandon the job
i’ll get payout it’s not a matter of when, it’s a matter of what
went from wasting time to chasing it, now i battle the clock
got an amazing flow and i’ve got infinite rhymes
don’t even need to go digging to find, i guess that i’m in creative mode
got here on the basis of talent, now i’ma take it home
spill your blood and punch you ’til you’re seeing colour different like a racist joke
this is just a verse so don’t let me get ahead of myself
survival’s the mission, david genat, i remember it well
since welcome to h*ll i’ve felt inclined to spit on those who said that i fell
or never would sell a cd or disc
they’re jealous cos they’re unimpressed with themselves
how many bars must i go through just to prove that they
don’t do it they way i do it? flow smooth, untouchable, you aren’t close to it
tough to breakdown, it’s so solid, don’t attempt to go through it * no b*ll*cks
joe hogg is a no*go so honestly back off before any smoke’s warranted
getting ridiculous now
i’m voicing the sh*t that i’m thinking about and it’s spinning me out
i only just considered it now but how was i given a mouth
bitter and sour and driven from doubt so never believe cos it isn’t allowed
the bigger the crowds the less motivation i’ll have to go and get a grip on the crown
this is empowerment, rapping to me is a power trip
don’t ask me where the album is, it’s coming, just know that it’s sounding lit
don’t act loud and big if you don’t know how to spit them back out of it on some coward sh*t
i’m astounded with the amount of kids
who say that they’re like me? i’m definitely the only
to be me you’d have to be lonely, add crazy, pinch of psycho, no safety
don’t blame me, staying in received eighty eight streams
cos this close to me didn’t aid me, ain’t we s’pose to be on the same team?
guess not
