lyrics

(Intro)

Dear listeners,
Fo those of you with your ears wide open
And your mouths wide shut.
For those whose words aren’t enough…

(Verse)

They tell me,
If I make a one hit wonder
I could really be the greatest,
But I’ve done my calculations:
It’s way better just to be myself
If I focus on my music that could be my wealth,
I’ve got big drams so I sleep quite well.
I sleep late but I’m an early bird,
Jut got out of bed
But I roll it up and burn it first
Everyday’s a stage
And every stage is just a learning curve.
The past reflects in, current events
It’s like I need to lose focus
Just to make it circumvent.
The grass looks greener so I hop over the fence
“Hold on, he’s not sober again!
Nearly every time that he’s holding a pen…”
It flows when I write
But I hold when I send.
I don’t count every penny;
Every pound;
Every note that I get
I don’t smoke to forget or escape
It’s a floor,
But I’m sitting on the ground so it’s fake.
I’ve been standing here with clouds in my face
But the ground is in sight,
I can’t land perfect
So for now I sit tight
You can’t predict my words that’s a power trip vibe.
They say I’m too quiet, I’ll be louder this time
I’ll be pacing around
Please spare me the mic -
Stand.
The length of a song is like my life span,
So I play it on repeat
If you didn’t listen you can spare me the retweet
I’m labeled a rapper
But I’m different if you meet me -
Nothing like the artists that you’re seeing on your T.V. screen.
I love it when I see green trees
When the leaves fall off is when I -
Seek peace…
But I don’t have to fin it when the sun comes out
Mind feels like the sky when the sun goes down,
I’ve been taking on water but your sun won’t drown.
Mum & Dad,
I’m amazed at how the world goes round.
I leave a piece of me in everyone I meet,
You can’t take you can leave it
Just know every song can speak
I know I’m very incomplete.
I’m not happy but I’m merry in defeat,
the sand gets hot so I’m burying my feet
But if I,
Run fast I will barely even feel it
I overstep my boundaries without steeping over feelings,
Running down my heart while forgetting how to heal it.
I’ve been rejected in the past
But I’ve reflected on those scars,
They have helped me grow
And they have set me on my path -
But lately I’m forgetting who we are
And I’m forgetting who I am,
Writing in the dark
Because today was never planned
I know the game is in my hands,
I get knocked down but I don’t wait to understand
It’s too late I’ve just blazed another gram.
I’ve been waiting for the trin to come,
Many passed by, but I waited for my favorite one -
When the train arrived it was full not even space for one -
There was no space for me,
The train set off without showing me a vacancy
Now I see that week was all just make believe.
I should just believe in myself.
I tend to lose faith when I don’t do well -
I try and speak out
But throat’s to swollen
So I smoke to L’s.
The summer’s here
I really need to see the brighter side
I can’t believe I got lost inside her eyes.
Now I’m feeling dizzy and I’m paralysed
I guess there’s really no such thing as paradise
Or happiness in people -
The only place I’ll find it
Is inside me once I’m peaceful.
They say I need to change myself
Before I change the world we’re living in -
I need to change myself because
F*** the way I’m living it.
I’ve always been so stupid
And I’ve always been so privileged,
I usually tend to start and never finish things…

about

natestapes London, UK

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.
