I need to,
Find the positives and never let them go
Cause I just plant the seed
But then I never let it grow.
I guess you reap what you sow
I’m so eager to know
What the future holds.
I take it one step at a time
And let the truth unfold,
But the fact is,
Most of the truth’s untold
And the truth becomes apparent
When the youths grow old.
How many dreams have begun to lose hold?
Begun to lose shape like when the sun sets low?
But the sun sets low.
Pick it back up
You ain’t done yet no,
You need a whole different mind set to run this show.
Run this right from the mic check yo
But a mic check might leave you lifeless though,
‘Cause me plus a mic is a life threat yo.
I’m just, trying to make the most of what I’ve got
And last I checked well,
That seemed to be a lot
Maybe I got lost a bit
And maybe I forgot,
That I’ve always been happy
But, lately not a lot.
And lately I don’t know whether to put my faith in god
Because the little faith I have is tipping off the table top.
But I,
Find a balance and I always pull through
Got new memories just to cover up wounds,
Never had enemies
Hope that that stays true,
But people think their lives are like some back page news
Like the youth watch soaps then reenact them too.
Me I rap these tunes. (He just raps these tunes)
Just to relax I roll a fat one too.
It really helps me out like It distracts my mood.
It sends me to the clouds but I’ll be back down soon.
(Chorus) Rose
I see people all around me acting strange,
But the only real difference is our name.
Am I the one that’s strange?
I see people all around me acting fake,
I’m just always tryn’a keep a straight face.
I think I need to change.
(Verse 2)
For now,
(He writes thoughts) I write thoughts, a blank page soon fills,
And it takes form,
I try to stay real and I try to inform.
(He tries to send a message he just hopes it means more)
I try to send a message I just hope it means more yo,
More to the kids that are now coming fourth
They’re growing so fast now, we have to make sure
That they take the right path now.
We got to fuel their ambitions,
Give life to their dreams.
They’ve got to live life to know whether want to be.
It might take time,
It might come aged three
I, truly found music when I turned fifteen.
Four years going now you can’t stop me
You say I can’t be (Say he can’t be)
But I can’t not be (But he can’t not be)
Cause if I didn’t have music then my heart couldn’t beat,
Not in the same way
‘Cause it’s a part of me.
A piece of my soul like the master key,
It opens all doors
That’s a part I need
Because without that part I’m only half complete.
If you don’t open your eyes
You only half can’t see.
So open them wide,
You’ll see that you’ve got a whole mountain to climb.
We’ve all got problems that are mountain high
That’s why I grow wings and go scout the sky.
Without these words I’m a helpless guy
My mind’s at peace when I write these rhymes
I don’t always speak
But I write more lines. (But he writes more lines)
Did I get it right this time?
So many draft copies that I might not like
I might go wrong but I gain insight -
Useful knowledge that I’ll need in fight
I mean this life,
The two are so different yet so alike.
I’m just trying to make a change,
I hope that my music can inspire you today
Or inspire you tomorrow
Just inspire in a way.
My thoughts are spiralling away,
I hope that my music can inspire you today
Or inspire you tomorrow
Just inspire in a way.
(Chorus) Rose
I see people all around me acting strange,
But the only real difference is our name.
Am I the one that’s strange?
I see people all around me acting fake,
I’m just always trying to keep a straight face.
Am I the one that’s changed?
My dreams and ambitions have led me here, aged 20, I'm now looking to jump start my music career.
Rap is more than a
craft or a job to me. It brings my emotions to life and I feel myself live through it. I hope I can convey this in my songs.
I'm always looking for ways to improve, increasing the possible outcomes of my work tenfold.
My feet are, and always will be firmly planted on the ground....more
