You wont catch me on commuter trains at half past 8
I freeline at half 9 and Im still not late
Youll never see me after work pouring money down my throat
Talking shit, gaining weight, for the sake of a joke
Or with the other suits in the gents hittin the coke
I like a smoke but I always keep an eye on my notes
Yeah you can call me self-righteous but I'll never lose hope
Youll never see me 9 to 5 getting over to cope
Not a typical life, I dream wilderness ways
I resisted being villainous back in the days
I was the one, seen my friends twocking for fun
Ripping car radios out then...run!
Im up the ginnel quicker than the rest because I didn't smoke
Full belt round the corner, shit! this is no joke
Seen the helicopter buzzing overhead its
Time for me to be out, time to get selfish
I can't be getting nicked for what someone else did
Blended with the bushes till shadows melted
And when the sun came up it was less hot
Stepped off down the cobblestones at a trot
Im off to write rhymes, and I made the right choice
And I know a lot of people take issue with my voice
Even though were all equal see me make my cream
Fuck a British state of mind and the American dream..
Its peer pressure
You make your own mistakes
But don't drag me in, Im tryin to elevate
Mystro:
Course I aint happy bout what's happenin now
Stuff aint goin too well for you so now you're dragging me down
And that is just foul so play fair, stop acting like you don't know
My struggle in this jungle is just standing on my own toes
And most wont accept the fact that times are hard
I say they..kinda are but still life is large
And Im planning to make it big you know - rhyme with stars
And have major companies bidding for me buying me cars
Be in my own shows pedalling across the Earth
People I don't know begging me to drop a verse
But what's this worth ? you ask, I say not everything mate
But it's where Im tryin to be at so don't get in my way
Just stay in your place
Don't grab on me when problems are invading your space
Cos as for me blood if I make a mistake
Ive only myself to blame plus Ive dealt with pain
And the sunny sides always better when youve felt the pain
So deal with it - your umbrella is your mental state
I can't be the only one that's keeping my friends awake
And I know you aint told me everything you meant to say
But we can set things straight cos that was yesterday
And day out and day in you might notice all these strange things,
But realise Im going through the same thing
The art from the start is maintaining and training your brain
And of course like they say with no pain there's no gaining
Its peer pressure
You make your own mistakes
But don't drag me in, Im tryin to elevate
