lyrics

1 Second Please.

I’m learning with every step,
New lessons everyday
Just hope I haven’t over slept.
I’ve failed so many chances
But boy I ain’t finished yet
It’s like I’m,
Hosting the dinner and then acting like the guest.
My mind is overactive
‘Though it’s vacant in my chest.
Do I ache more than the rest?
More cause I could never find a place in all this mess.
But I,
But I know I’m very privileged.
Can’t complain about the crazy world we’re living in,
Not prepared to change,
The only change they want is dividends.
More money in your pocket
Will not make the difference,
Nobody is innocent,
The devil is in all of us
And makes us feel like giving in.
That voice inside my head
Is really past being belligerent.
I’m through with thinking,
Overthinking’s overrated.
I’m in a sober state
So things are getting complicated.
I’m lost man,
I guess I’m looking for the way in.
I doubt that god exists
And that’s thereupon I stopped praying.
I never hit the target,
The target’s always moving.
I’m working on my placement,
My target’s to be a human.
I’m not asking for much,
Maybe the way I think is stupid.
I’m not asking for a favour
I just want to feel a lift.
The weight I carry in my heart
Is just an awe way to live.
But if I’m being optimistic
All that pain has been a gift.
I’ve learnt so many lessons
That my School could never give
‘Cause,
In most schools you’re just a name pin a list.
Am I living though a dream?
Life is not a movie
No it’s realer than it seems.
It’s you that gets to chose if you’re a hero or a fiend.
I’m growing deep roots
So I can grow into a tree
It’s not really hard to start
No I just had to plant the seed.
Don’t assume that I’m reserved
Because I think before I speak
But I,
Read hate it
When I think before I sleep:
Thoughts jumped in my mind
And they spread like a disease.
I’ll be doing alright
Just as long as I believe.

(Chorus)

Life is gonna get you down,
get you down.
Life is gonna get you down,
get you down.
Life is gonna get you down.
How do you find your way up?
Find your way up?
How do you find your way up?
Find your way up?
How do you find your way up?
Find your way up?
How do you find?
How do you find?
How do you?

(Bridge)

Can you give me one second please?
Okay here we go.

(Verse 2)

I believe that nothing is Impossible,
Don’t waste time waiting
Until the situation’s optimal,
Rapping so much I’ve started working my abdominals.
I think I’ll find my happiness,
Only I’ve lost it all,
With nothing less to lose
I’ll finally shatter all my obstacles.
I’m always holding back.
I’m never holding grudges
Cause I got no space for that.
My heart is full of stars
And all the scars that are attached.
I’m not amazing,
These thoughts spark up like a match.
I put fire in these bars
And now they’re part of who I am.
I know I can be a rapper
But it’s harder than I planned.
I must admit
It’s pretty hard to stay relevant,
The world is so corrupted
I am part of the rebellion.
And I will fight ‘till I’m a skeleton,
Dead turned to ash
I’ll still be looking over everyone.
My spirit roams free
I broke the chains
Although they said we can’t.
We’re al humans,
All the same
Although they say we aren’t.
The media’s a way to spread stigma.
What they say enters our thoughts,
And it creates all this enigma.
What they say on the news
Does not include the bigger picture.
The industry’s controlled
How are they fooling all the listeners?
Music has stopped evolving.

(Chorus)

Life is gonna get you down,
get you down.
Life is gonna get you down,
get you down.
Life is gonna get you down.
How do you find your way up?
Find your way up?
How do you find your way up?
Find your way up?
How do you find your way up?
Find your way up?
How do you find?
How do you find?
How do you?

(Bridge)

Can you give me one second please?
Okay here we go.

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.
