Best be careful what you're claiming


I treat my limits like a challenge,
that applies to alcohol as equally as talent,
look my conscience in the eye, say we should be embarrassed,
Rashid, good job you pulled me out the road,
and shit, lucky the police drive slow -
I'm a sucker for the flashing lights,
Acting like a dick, now I got a little bragging right
Appetite for attention, not satisfied by a mention
I grab the mic with a vengeance - like look at me,
don't just like me, fall in love with me,
what's up with me? the question is repeated
messages deleted, festivals on weekends,
arrogance is peaking, I get cold looks and dizzy spells
like Everest adventurers, though I aint climbing shit
I failed, the mission of being grounded,
Mum rings me up, like don't get too proud kid,
I saw you in your sound check, in a very loud outfit,
Talking about yourself - its speaks volumes to me
Just remember how I put you through uni,
Night shifts at the hospital, over time at the ward,
If you only say, how sick you are -
I'm getting bored.

I watched myself on the tele
like, there's a kid with fire in his belly,
silver on his tongue, shit trainers on his feet,
just kicking phrases to beat, and wanting praise in the street
Truth is, i'm not even that the guy you came to see
i'm not even the guy I claim to be -
Selfish, and irresponsible
Cowardly and dishonourable,
Looking for a pure heart, I'm probably not one for you,
I'm only human, and that aint saying much,
So vein, I check the camera wonder how my face looks,
I don't share my bad side all over my Facebook,
Dear listener, I don't who you are,
but maybe you are similar, every soul assimilates
good and evil, most the time we're spinning plates
I serve you food for thought, regardless of the taste
finish take.
