We only read the headline, only hear the punchline, Too wound up to ever unwind, Only the see the fruit, never think about the root, We do what we're told, never think about the truth x2 Sun rise to sunset, I just rhyme to drum sets, The type of guy its unwise to upset, For the words I write are ten times your bodyweight That means powerful, something to say I'd probably wait? Your turn, this is for my audience Who still support me when my net worth is forty pence, The more broke a rap star, the more he spends I'm in the house now, shame I can't afford the rent, A combination of macklemore, and a matador Grabbing life by the horns, making rap records, Dodging the bull, sold to us on the rack in stores, Sad things, most are coming back for more Raise your blunts up, nah just raise your guns up Fuck both of those, why don't your raise your suns up Its a fatherless generation, starving for education It's hard to harvest it from artists in our nation And radio stations, will never give us any heavy rotation America filling up the private prisons, Three strikes and you'll be rhyming in em, Anyone can rhyme to rhythm, but can you rhyme With wisdom? Will you follow Will you fight, or will you try or give in? These aren't the words of a famous man, Hip Hop's now a desert, i'm just a grain of sand We only read the headline, only hear the punchline, Too wound up to ever unwind, Only the see the fruit, never think about the root, We do what we're told, never think about the truth x2

For a rainy day Saved for a rainy day (repeat) Everything I show you, high definition, This is audio visual shit by definition, I try to keep it simple, so you keep up to the chorus Without needing a thesaurus, when you hear my single, Who am I kidding, I've always been complex, Keep you fly rappers on the ground, like the bomb threats On jets, I get the type of women that bond gets, And put the pro, in every project… Hope you like the boasts, its what we do best, Saying we're too fresh, like fruit juice thats newly pressed I'm truly blessed, but using rap to pay my student debt, How stupid could stupid get? I'm dead broke, Nodding to the beats till my necks broke, Give you food for thought, till you next choke I aint extraordinary, I just write better than the next bloke, And I dress next to ordinary, (Chorus) For the rainy days, I saved you a diamond, The sun won't shine, still we hit the rhyming, So every cloud has a silver lining Singing in the rain, no matter how grey the sky went x2 Most of us are ADHD kids, TV kids, the death of CD kids We turned the tables till we're MP3 kids, I really don't envy these kids, That's why I'm here to uplift like rising elevators, Surprising educator, get it now or get it later, You will respect me Vader, Leave you breathing on a respirator, If you don't accept that I will test the greatest Pass your test, surpass your estimators, Press your playlist, and make this song The next you favourite, Here we go again, with the arrogance, Wanna be a millionaire, get Chris Tarrant then Raps a kingdom for us angry men, Some can handle jail, but can't handle pens, And you're still getting sued if you sample friends So we're up against the odds, like rookies in the gambling dens, I lack the sense, to get even, i'm always getting mad, I don't write to buy a better pad, or get what I never had, Money aint an issue, rappers make enough, That they would use it as a tissue, while claiming their sick, I pick your brain like a burial in Ancient Egypt, So be careful if you say you're the shit, and your name isn't shit I shoot a verse or two and aim from the hip, In the land of the rain, where the fame is evading our grip For the rainy days, I saved you a diamond, The sun won't shine, still we hit the rhyming, So every cloud has a silver lining Singing in the rain, no matter how grey the sky went x2

Why do rappers say this time I'll keep it real with you That implies, most your rhymes aren't really you I get surprised when reviews call me honest, Of course I am, no need to state the obvious, My promise is to aim for the comets, I'm an astronomer, Plus my fam and friends are there, I wanna honour em At least acknowledge em, life's getting under my skin Beneath the collagen, I don't see my college friends, Anymore, We drift away, like tides will from every shore, My time seems very short, like plot lines in 24 Save the world, or see it with an amazing girl When every days a crazy whirl of writing and letting my phrase unfurl Hope it stays like this, Mum had never said there'd be days like this Bliss, though I was always too cool for the weird kids, And too weird for the cool kids, my musics for both of those, For every child from a broken home, Brothers and sisters, and mothers raising em both alone What did that MJ song say, yep, you are not alone Chorus Mum had always said there'd be like days this Bliss I pray it never fades and it stays like this Bliss (x2) Would you live fast if you died slow? Where we get high just to lie low, Tripping over on an untied tightrope, Going under and you're hoping for a lifeboat, Well you might fall or you may climb, You might sink, or you may fly, like a mayfly Better live for the day, 24 hours and their slipping away What would you do? Pain needles in like voodoo, Aint no new news, just re-repeats, like a CD re-release, Or an HD DVD deleted scene, remade for a TV screen What I mean, is we need something original, Something original In this pivotal moment for every listener, You can break free like Queen, or just remain a prisoner Most of us are too afraid to break outside the norm You probably played a role since the day that you were born Go to school, go to work, told your dreams are so berserk So forget them, I say go get them, thats why you dreamt them I'm slept on, and overlooked But chase the fantasies, reality has overtook Mum had always said there'd be like days this Bliss I pray it never fades and it stays like this Bliss

Seems only yesterday, we'd spend our day On park kickabouts, setting out jumpers for goalposts Now we hold toasts skywards Celebrating where are lives went, ironically For the lively vibes got swapped for 9 to 5's And most of us won't follow dreams, Me included, I don't sell this - I'm free with music, Talk is only cheap if you don't mean what you speak I bleed the truth with each heartbeat, Fountain pens are arteries, you can study this in art degrees, If you so please, Our generations drowns in legal and illegal highs, Under the eagle eyes of CCTV, It's a far cry from CBBC, forget your HD 3D screens, And take me back to live and kicking, No matter what rhyme i'm picking, i'm just trying to find The kind, that you would find the time to fit in, In between your cares and preoccupations, These observations are constellations, They will shine long after my demise, With their warm glows, i'm ice cold, bring your warm clothes Rapping like scarves round collarbones, I don't paint monochrome, paint my name on your honour roll On a roll like rolling stones, laying hats in many homes Aint my style now, that's probably why I smile now Ready to fly now, my future roads a runway Say goodbye now, I call this song Sunday.

Good for the soul, like the food your mother use to make We were 90's kids, making music tapes, Scared of bullies on the back of the bus, Just you wait till my album is platinum plus, Shy, when the cooler girls were chatting to us, Who'd have thought at 22, that I'd be having more buzz Than, playing operation with a blindfold, Try awake the population with a rhyme told, Please just give me a chance? (x4) Who you gonna call now? I'm a ghost busta rhymes, busting rhymes in a small town Rarely found, Mr. Invisible, Real fans get the reference, others you must have missed it all, You can do it alone, without the label mates, No need to pay for my lines, unlike the cable rates Made a date with lady luck, I must have turned up to the table late, Oh well, we all make mistakes... Please just give me a chance? (x4) Bout time I rhymed upon ninety's shit, Taking it back, like I don't like your gifts, Working nightly shifts, to write you this Aint life a bitch, when you aint even ever got the time for this, I could make my lines even shorter than a hyphen is Attention spans turning off quicker than a lighting switch, But i'm wealthy with words, yeah I might be rich Please just give me a chance? (x4)

An eye for an eye, means no need to buy the ray bans, We should make up, and I don't mean just shake hands, Thought I was the hero, what happened to my cape man? Chasing Louis Lane, but I'm in the slowest lane, damn Where we at? I try to get my bearings Oh yeah, still here, can't impress your parents, What's under my suit? Just the bulletproof vest i'm wearing, Oops, I didn't mean to test your swearing, But love's a battlefield, words tend to rattle shields, Glad I got one, cos Dad's carry shotguns, Rappers getting frowned upon, I'm say just a poet, I give my heart, its precious cargo, stow it Every single wound I have, I know that you can sew it We laugh till we're in stitches, guess I hit the riches Your better than all the other… (uh hum) Women, men can never work em out Even if we're gyming, It was a losing game for Amy Can you blame me But i'm trying to be winning. (sample) Look Muz, whats your real game? I should you call Christian, you never use your real name? Mr butter wouldn't melt, from the button to the belt Who never gave a fuck of what I felt, That's what they used to say, I was a youth okay, and it's all trial and error My styles not new era, that's old hat, I sold raps in student days, I love the feeling when my music plays Back when cupid was shooting, hitting with stupid stray Arrow-tips, for some narrow hips, shallow chicks, Very skilled with magic tricks, oh yeah, they could vanish quick, Reappearing in your mates flat, mess around, get your payback Karma's so reliable, that's undeniable, whatever shit you try to pull The trigger can backfire, turn the track higher What you did in the past, live with it today, What may seem sweet, has the bitterest taste, All that glitters aint gold, diamonds aren't forever, Turn a lesson to a blessing and be better together (x2)

Mates said I shouldn't be involved with you, They said only cool guys were holding you, They said my school wasn't even tough enough, And my neighbourhood really wasn't rough enough, Though I never thought you cared much, I never scratched your records, the ones that I dared touch We spoke when my parents, were adding to divorce rates, But we were under age, was the sample worth the court case? I love Hip Hop (x4) I had to fight for you a couple of occasions, We're an odd couple, say my relations, Well, mum you said its up to me to choose, What do I need to prove? I never sing the blues I show my true colours, music can turn me green When I've read about whoever else she's seen Will she notice me, yeah man, in your dreams? I think of her when waking, then sleeping, and then in just between I love Hip Hop (x4) (break) I still think about my first performance, I had a small hope, that she turned enormous, I was dormant, like a door man at four in the morning, Now I'm called for recordings, keeping reporters reporting I'm all in, I'm pretty sure she used to find me boring, Trying to be too clever, too much metaphoring Now you like me as a simile, Your hard to get, treat me mean, to keep me keen But I'll still MC I love Hip Hop (x4)

Smooth, like the touch of a brazillian masseuse, Or shaky like a corleone sicilian truce, That's how I kick it, you compare me to a million bruce, Lees, please Mouth on a pink lady, till i'm swilling the juice, I mean the fruit, riding the beat, still in the loop, Big for my boots, still acting like my shoe size, Clark Kent, jump out your apartment i'm too fly, Cryptic right, scripting your kryptonite, to bring it your crib tonight, Like frankincense Forget the Ben Franklins, I barely handle cents Spent up, but with pens I'm fresher than some jasmine scent, Leaving your ego with a massive dent, Rappers if its easy you should go and make a classic then, We aren't big time, with plays, only on last fm, But talents clear, you don't believe me, go on ask your friends, But I need the type of budget only nasa spends, Fly you to the moon and back, No need to argue over who can rap, Leading the race and I don't choose to slack, Stay in your shell If you make inept tunes, don't say your pharell, And never say your for real? It's cliched, who would pay your deal? I'm maybe crazy, but i'm taking the wheel With persuasive appeal, This ones for you and me, Body language, spoke fluently Actions maybe louder than words, So turn the volume up, show mine to the world

Hoping for a better tomorrow, Get it by any means so we beg and we borrow Write novels, hit bottles, we're forgetting the sorrow Still flier than eleven apollos (x2) Hoping for a better tomorrow, Get it by any means so we beg and we borrow The note that bought a bottle, could have struck the lotto, Still shining like eleven apollo's Beats back upon the menu, Shutting shit down, like police at your venue, I'm the joker at the bank, get your hands up, Another damn anthem, why don't you stand up? The question is rhetorical, when I call myself an oracle, It aint metaphorical, Mr Corrs light, You are not as cool, so refreshing, Leave you out of place like a sober fresher, Know my methods, maybe then you'll know my measure, Real winners don't show their treasure, Saying bingo, that aint in my lingo, I don't need a star name, leave that to Ringo Hitting hard in the ring so, careful when I fling flows, Play this jam in traffic, roll down the windows, (pause) Hoping for a better tomorrow, Get it by any means so we beg and we borrow Write novels, hit bottles, we're forgetting the sorrow Still flier than eleven apollos (x2) Tonight I had a few too many, Spend a couple of my youtube pennies, And a portion of my i-tunes money How much is that? Bout ten pounds, funny Honey I promise that I'm the busiest bee Gimme radio spins, till i'm dizzy as the, Rascal in the corner, go on and warn your brothers I'm thinking big, come see me like the warner brothers, Why you performing covers? Be your own brand, like Russell SImmons, you can't knock the hustle Been rapping since I just turned fifteen This rhyme spitter, liked time splitters on big screens Grew up with nintendo's and sega, You didn't like them, your just a playa hater Gangsta rap, no I never really liked it Say little jon, I think of Robin hood's sidekick, So you can get low, while I hit targets, Don't just be a rapper, you've got to be an artist Hoping for a better tomorrow, Get it by any means so we beg and we borrow Write novels, hit bottles, we're forgetting the sorrow Still flier than eleven apollos (x2)

Packing my suitcase, too much baggage here, I need a new place, the only reminder of home, Is my accent, and I'm rapping every time i'm alone, The adventures of an honest man, Trying to write his way into the promised land, Though I don't speak the native tongue, The day has come, respect you should pay me some, I never wanted money, i'd find it funny if you paid me sums, Wonder what their hip hop sounds like, I'll take a mic with me, you can listen to sound bites, I found life, came to be a surprise, I'm going out with my crush, still rubbing my eyes, Like what a dream right, I do what I deem right, Don't sweat the technique I know that my schemes right, I'd rather say imperfect, than I'm perfect, I'm not, I just rhyme, and try to make your time worth it. Flying out to new horizons, take me to the blue Anywhere skywards, as long as I am with you There's nothing in the world its beyond me to do (x2) I'm recording this inside of an airport, You gotta hand it to me, I have to share thoughts, Too busy jotting, i've forgotten my spare shorts, That's a hardcore lyric, I've got a parcour spirit, meaning its leaping freely, Please will you keep my CD, use it to maybe see me If you miss me for real, even my dad wrote a letter That's a big deal, (break) Flying out to new horizons, take me to the blue Anywhere skywards, as long as I am with you There's nothing in the world its beyond me to do (x2)

How I will feel when the plane leaves, Am I flying from my day dreams? Tell myself I aint calling time, Just a break, like the listener had paused the rhyme, Thoughts rewind to the first one I ever wrote, Like the rest of them, it's one I know you'll never quote, Yeah I dreamt of the million dollar studio's While you watch you my every move, like the movie of the truman show, It didn't work out… How will life be in Santiago? (x4)
