about

Originally a Maschine beat with some added extras and you have my first hip hop track.

lyrics

Yeh uh I'm ready
One two three Let's Go

Not every problem's about money
Not every problem's about time
Not every problem's about purpose
When the purpose is a rhythm and rhyme
See I've been living a fantasy
Where buried beneath my soul's
A poet with nothing to fill up his days
A lyrical leader with goals
But it's hard to see
It's even harder to do
When you see the Reaper comin'
And he's gunnin' for you
Mindin' my own business
I didn't ask to feel obligated
To spit words with great precision
And division in a genre slated
But what of my friends?
What will they say?
This time he's loco-crazy
Man that boy's been led astray
He used to be so innocent there
Playin' deep on the keys
Round back head down contentratin'
His palms almost touchin' his knees please
Wait hold up!
Never gonna miss another trick
Got into the flow with a video
Yeh this rappin gonna make you sick and I'm never gonna
Find another way to say the words I wanna say cos the
Words I wanna say are really hauntin' me today
My pencil on the paper getting faster with a rhythm that
Tells the story unruly and gory

Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
I've been takin' all of my shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
I've been takin' all of my shots in the dark yeh

Now don't go judging me for exaggeratin'
Cos it's simply the name of society's game
The gore I saw is from ma heart cut raw
I'm unravelling an' feelin' my shame
But I'm a man of faith 'show I solve it
Ain't no argument to resolve it
Someone gotta make a little space inside to
Manifest and evolve it
Everybody know about the feeling gonna eat you
Up inside and it ain't about pride.
No I'm talking bout the feeling that my flow ain't good
Should I Just stop now? Yeh right if I could
Someone's gonna come along and say I'm wrong
Someone's gonna dis this song say my rhythm ain't strong
And I know I'm gonna stumble trip when I flip-out
Cos I doubt when I really ought'a shout
Be the best little bee you can be and never
Skimp on the inspiration cos I
Spend my time with my head in rhyme trying to
Tunnel from a deep frustration
Half past five still alive yeh ready set go!
Gonna make some traction
So I'm sittin' in ma chair blank stare on my face
I wear as I wait your redaction
Slippin' and spittin' get the wheels in motion
Then I'm gonna stoke my fire till it's hot
Doin ma chore tryin' t'boil the ocean
It's not what I'm not but I tell ya what I got to
Get off my chest yeh
Are you feeling impressed now
Cos I'm cooking up a rhythm with a little bit of nice
Spice dip the scales in the fire and the ice

Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
I've been takin' all of my shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
Shots in the dark yeh
I've been takin' all of my shots in the dark yeh
