What They Say (Verse 1) Staring at myself in the mirror Saying that I gotta be better / gotta be clearer Wipe off the condensation to get a better picture But I cant stick to the Image that they want A drug dealing gangster / I’m just not Sorry if I messed up the plot it must of got lost Sorry bout that boss Somewhere down the line /someone must of said This is what we want / this is what we meant If ya want a spot / we get to select you And control what ya do They want to label you/ and me All wanna say that were part of a scene Stick to your box don’t move in between Are we different /or just wanna be seen (Chorus) You gotta be this cause you can’t be that But I aint convinced Everyone wants what they can’t have I could write you a list Cant always please everyone So do what you feel don’t do what they say Do what you feel don’t do what they say Just let them hate away (Verse 2) He’s looking me up on the net Sees a video of me on a set Wants to say that I’m shit So he types in the words and clicks But the problem with that is He ain’t listening with his ears Only goes by what his peers say They tell him when to press play He’s angry so angry So he might take out that Stanley Cause he wants to prove that he can be bad Knows that he’s really / got back that chat But he aint from no council flat No he aint bad / but he wants to be Wants to be in bad company But he’s far too busy / living comfortably (Chorus) You gotta be this cause you can’t be that But I aint convinced Everyone wants what they can’t have I could write you a list Cant always please everyone So do what you feel don’t do what they say Do what you feel don’t do what they say Just let them hate away (Verse 3) Done with the people pleasing Can’t bring me down you aint got a reason To / who are you anyway A sheep / a follower / cause you aint a renegade You aint bad / your following a fad Scared to be you / scared of setbacks Wanna be cool in front of people Perception is all how people see you All I see is a copy of a copy Out dated like a old school floppy Run back to mummy if the roads too rocky Acting too cocky / ya fingers too stubby So you can't grasp anything I’m tryna say And man that’s a shame Look at the youth today Some say that music’s blame Man I don’t agree with that Some people they / just ignore the facts There’s too much segregation Music is open to interpretation I said too much segregation Music is open to Interpretation (Chorus) You gotta be this cause you can’t be that But I aint convinced Everyone wants what they can’t have I could write you a list Cant always please everyone So do what you feel don’t do what they say Do what you feel don’t do what they say Just let them hate away

Awkward (Verse 1) It’s a laugh a minute Saying/ that there back / But they hardly wrote a lyric I’m too much of a critic When I write a song I give it a lot of spirit Not to say that I’m drinking But I’m over the limit and I’m over thinking I’m too high in the clouds / Don’t look now they seem to be shrinking Ok I’ll admit it Sometimes I do get A little too full of myself Staring in mirrors I hope they can’t tell But if they do/ I’ll just shrug that off She’s pretty cute / looking down at her top If you catch that to/ just gimme a little nod If you don’t like that/ I’m sorry it’s just hard No not that / I mean just not to stare At ya cute behind ya fine derriere Now I’ve a dug a deep hole/ just bury me There (Chorus) That’s a little awkward Sometimes these things slip out when I’m talking I’m sorry about that Really sorry about that That’s a little awkward Sometimes these things slip out when I’m talking I’m sorry about that If I had a remote I’d rewind that back (Verse 2) Putting on her make up Says she needs a quick touch up I’m like oooook /I’ll help What ya think I’m some dumb slut Hit me with a straight uppercut Almost knocked out my front tooth Man that is sooo rude Had enough but I don’t move I must be a masochist Cause I still went for a kiss And when I finally got onnnne She went and bit up all my lips Walking around looking like Mick Jager Aint got the moves got no swagger Just my luck must have walked under a ladder Taking the piss/ with a full bladder I still send her a text / though To say nice that we met / but no She says why / I’m like I don’t know So I’m back in the hole (Chorus) That’s a little awkward Sometimes these things slip out when I’m talking I’m sorry about that Really sorry about that That’s a little awkward Sometimes these things slip out when I’m talking I’m sorry about that If I had a remote I’d rewind that back (Verse 3) See this girl and she clocks me to I get a little closer try a few moves Gives me a wink I notice ya empty let me get you a drink I suppose you can get me one Yeah I’d give you one What / Sorry I cant hear / its far to loud So many people here in the crowd I’ll be back in a sec let, me get in the round So get in the queue / someone gets in my way Sorry mate but I was before you He said ‘nah no mate better you turn back round But I was here first I’ve been waiting around He tells me to leave ‘go on then do it’ I said ‘that’s what ya mum said’ He went red in the face and said ‘I bet You didn’t know that my mum died when I was only two years old’ Grabbed me by the throat and was ready to choke I said I’m really sorry mate I must have made a mistake (Chorus) That’s a little awkward Sometimes these things slip out when I’m talking I’m sorry about that Really sorry about that That’s a little awkward Sometimes these things slip out when I’m talking I’m sorry about that If I had a remote I’d rewind that back

Most The Time (Verse 1) Who you mad at? All I ever hear is I’m a bad Bad man what too bad / Are you glad that ya here / or are you just sad? Me I think ya bad at /expressing your sorrow / woah That’s depressing/ a sad act to follow A hard pill to swallow / when you bottling up All the guilt from having to beg/ borrow and steal And that image you instill / is it even really real How do we deal with the real? It’s like real recognize real / I’m developing a film I can edit together to make into a show reel / Project it on a screen /make an idea real/ But can you feel that/ you cant touch this Hammering but dabbling in other fields Making a metropolis is much of a muchness The idea builds / how am gonna get on top of this (Chorus) Its not what it seems most the time But I still believe it will be alright Sometimes it seems like a waste my time But me being me I just let it slide (Verse 2) I made a mental note /that wasn’t note worthy Tried to hit the right note /the keys were blurry Used a fresh bank note /to fix my eyes early Didn’t notice what I wrote/ next to the blue birdy When I read it back / took it as read that the facts/ Would reflect all that red that I saw when I saw What I saw/ in my head as I listened through the door Cut deep / back and forth / bled red / hacksaw Kept it in the past/ I passed the parcel Still feel pretty daft / I tried to grasp you Must have rubbed off the grip/ from/ over use Slip and slide on the ground / like old worn out shoes Sounds about right / had to sound off Far too polite / hand to mouth / cough Word spreads / no matter the outcome Need some new treads / if you wanna try and out run (Chorus) Its not what it seems most the time But I still believe it will be alright Sometimes it seems like a waste my time But me being me I just let it slide (Verse 3) Had to slow down / before I tripped up The words fell out / but they cant make up For the mistakes or help to try and change up What’s behind ya face or that fake double d cup I’d rather save all my pennies, guineas and shillings And spend em on something Other than fixing your tiny ta titties Or sucking fat out / those itty bitty places Gotta be kidding me guess you fake it / just to make it Thanks to that saving I can save the day Pay my way forward to /the / later date Keep putting it off Stop start and then wait Stomach tying in knots /no guts / no escape Tryna find my footing but keep on missing the step Kissing the floor and yes I’m hitting my head So of course that always make me forget So that when I get back up I do it all over again (Chorus) Its not what it seems most the time But I still believe it will be alright Sometimes it seems like a waste my time But me being me I just let it slide

Connection (Verse 1) Connection slowed down when they stopped looking out To see where they were going looping circuits back around Really started showing when they said it out loud Left em never knowing how to get out of the town I kinda feel bad cause I know I found my way For that I’m still glad everyday is like a Friday Looking forward to the next see me smiling Asking what’s the matter it’s a matter of timing Feel like its come back season but am I going backwards / Maybe I’ll start teething wisdom tooth coming in I got the feeling got a blazer no suit and its appealing to my casual nature but a formal front another fancy feature that I’m covering up could write a million raps / but then if none of em stuck and all fell through the cracks I couldn’t gather em up (Chorus) trying to connect trying to connect trying to connect no signal trying to connect trying to connect trying to connect no signal though (Verse 2) Tryna push forward but when the doors marked pull end up looking awkward waiting on a call / for someone to come and sort it only to find you you could have done it yourself Help can you give me a boost my ego isn’t used to all this flattery /the lights are flickering out go grab another battery getting low on energy this taxi driver telling me his phones like a limb If he didn’t have it wouldn’t know where to begin don’t ask for directions / cant talk to him ain’t friends on the net / don’t know where you’ve been cant track who you are / don’t know if you’d fit in with my list of friends / we all act the same have the same interests / like to follow the fame sometimes we pretend / that were making a change till we lose interest / and go back to our games with all the rest (Chorus) trying to connect trying to connect trying to connect no signal trying to connect trying to connect trying to connect no signal though (Verse 3) Back track through chats / old contacts pc macs all the fun facts inbox sent out expand contract tryna sort my rent out online no bank Not famous till your on Wikipedia still brainless and a whole lot greedier angrier now they banned torrentz getting hold of tv shows is a performance impatient because life’s too short always in a hurry cause happiness can be bought if ya make enough money you might never be poor but nothing is ever certain nothing is ever sure I don’t do the lottery rather earn it myself leaving it down to luck /don’t always work so well but there’s always a chance no you never can tell increase your odds work it out by yourself

Hunting Ground (Verse 1) The emphasis on what a good musician is Based on more than just appearances / in my experience We come from many areas and even with these variants End up like barbarians / tryna get these various Deals and contracts / platinum plated plaques Sooo there following our tracks / All these taxidermists with an axe grind Sniff at the surface then they track and find Hunt you down / trap you in a web All the details / click click send Loaded up caught a whiff of ya scent Ears pricked up / now they know where you went Still easy to fade in the background Easy to hide but hide but harder to stand out Oh so easy to fade in the background The irony/ is you really wanna be found (Chorus) Trying to find you/ trying to hunt you down You can keep hiding / in the underground / Never make a sound / so you avoid the shots / Never make a sound / opportunity lost (Verse 2) Got a shot /but it passed through one leg Now its not / how you thought it would end Shot down / you can try and play dead Might get out of this / but might ya not mend Hobbling about / try to get around Keep toppling down / shhhhh/ and listen out for the sound A signal that they’re coming back around Still wondering / what will happen if ya found You might get taken out of here/ Domesticated and reared Sheered and bred / Awarded best of the year / Poked and prodded and tagged an tracked Via a chip in ya ear/ but it isn’t really clear Or they could fill you with nothing but stuffing/ hang you up on the wall And all that huffing and puffing/ might /get you through the door Why do it /what for? / Why live in a cage / when you can stay outdoors? (Chorus) Trying to find you/ trying to hunt you down You can keep hiding / in the underground / Never make a sound / so you avoid the shots / Never make a sound / opportunity lost (Verse 3) It’s a cycle we often forget Our Survival is vital to them They want the biggest and best prey they can get So they set down traps and attempt To catch us off guard / but we know that there watching Gotta think smart / it’s a package that there boxing Together think clever beat em to the punch/ first Let em fire off the shots/ we know how it works No loss / you can hunt me down and then Watch/ as I move free picking off What I want / cant catch me I’ll be zipping off Tipping off everyone that ever feels Like they’re lost Let em know that there on the hunt too Coming after you / but its back to front We aint the food but / there out to lunch Make em take you too / they can front the cost (Chorus) Trying to find you/ trying to hunt you down You can keep hiding / in the underground / Never make a sound / so you avoid the shots / Never make a sound / opportunity lost

Feeling (Verse 1) I let em know what I’m feeling I let em know what I’m feeling You can feel in the music your hearing Give it everything I got there’s nothing I be fearing I’ve been sitting in a room full of windows Let the light in / but I got real close To shutting it out stopped before I click start And shut it all down / Just look at me now / huh I’m in a much better place I aint passed on but I passed up a few chances Cause I aint got the money or the advances But the weathers still sunny and the advantage is I’m ready when it all comes back around Keep on going steady I’m ready to make it happen now Giving time and money but still she aint putting out Come on now honey I’m sick of these bloody roundabouts Round and round we go Round and round we go (Chorus) Feel like I’m going back on myself My head keeps spinning can hardly tell If I’m on my way up Or the way back down Cant jump off can’t turn back around Cause I’m in it now And there’s no getting off Once you get started you wont wanna stop (Verse 2) Music’s an addiction Can’t kick the habit cant put it up for eviction Like a scratch that needs itching Too many rappers on tracks constantly bitching And yeah I’ve been there too I know what its like when you wanna break through But nobody wants to hear a song from you Oh well boo hoo Yeah we’ve all been there Practice makes perfect I know it aint fair But never mind the verdict/ I’m guilty of giving it a go Getting on stages to spit a little flow This is for the ones that write those bars Put on those events to give the others a chance Don’t wanna set trends just speak from the heart Carry on my friend I hope you get far Word will get a round Word will get a round (Chorus) Feel like I’m going back on myself My head keeps spinning can hardly tell If I’m on my way up Or the way back down Cant jump off can’t turn back around Cause I’m in it now And there’s no getting off Once you get started you wont wanna stop (Verse 3) I hear people say What will we look like when were old and grey Me I’ll have pad full of raps and recorded tracks To blow the cobwebs away Weeehhey even with my aches and my pains See me do the two-step with my Zima frame Nothings like the music I be hearing today Stimulates my movement as soon as I press play Hey hey I just wanna get down Hey hey just listen to the sound Right about down No I don’t settle down / hear the cd spin around See the bass go in and out all my thoughts they spin around Get kind of giddy and dizzy /feels like I’m falling out Sky diving falling down realizing I’m living now Living in the now Living in the now (Chorus) Feel like I’m going back on myself My head keeps spinning can hardly tell If I’m on my way up Or the way back down Cant jump off can’t turn back around Cause I’m in it now And there’s no getting off Once you get started you wont wanna stop

Fight Or Flight (Verse 1) Still out in the cold alone Tryna find/ your own place in the world Gravitate / towards shinning gold Copper taste/ is all you feel in your throat When ya all about the money/ aint nothing ever funny Moving in a hurry / cant be looking all bummy Gotta spit out the dummy and man up Go ahead then stand up If ya want wealth / get it yourself Wanna be happy / then go please yourself But it wont work though / We all depend on other people Need someone to recommend you for the job If you don’t fit the bill ya get blocked No call back / ya gotta cool off Hot heads they all get lopped off (Chorus) Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike (Verse 2) Me / I be bouncing between jobs Me / I’m ducking out of screen shots Me I be Behind the scenes Cause I wanna know how it all works I want be like producers I want it do it myself So I gotta d.i.y Now they will see the best in me Now they will all know who I be They are gonna are hear me now So they will never bring me down So Who? Is gonna question that? At the level my confidence at Who? Is gonna tell me I cant? No one cause they don’t play the part of me (Chorus) Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike Its fight or flight Strap up the gloves or get on ya bike (Verse 3) Kids in the playground shout it’s a fight! Grow a little older only to find It’s still just a fight But that’s life If you want anything you gotta fight for it By any means yeah tooth and claw it But some people they choose to ignore it Lose the will and then start withdrawing Hard not to day dream Lose sight of the things you believe Goals that you had / things to achieve It’s only round 1 you can’t go and leave Don’t need to become a big star Just be who you are/ True to yourself / If you got dreams that you put on a shelf Dust em off Dust em off I say /dust em off Fight for the things that you want

Hope (Outro) We were all just tryna get better But I handed in another sick letter How could I fall for the whole damn set up? Branded as a fool the one who just let up We all had our own designs To try and get the prize / we thought it would be fine Hell I thought there would be time But the days seem to go too quickly It was sweet yeah ever so sickly How she used to call when she got a little tipsy Just to reassure me when it all seemed iffy What I wanted to rock was kind of tricky Damn / how can they mistake me for a hater Man / I’ve been sticking up this yellow paper Can / I even pull off this kind of caper Planning ahead for the road a little later And I’m Hoping I can find it again Hoping I can find it again…
