 Verse



 



 Since I was a kid I was an MC villain



 I held many mics and tore down many a ceilin'



 They used to say that I was bound to fail



 Because my skin was pale I couldn't get a sale



 I took an idea, put it into gear



 Disappeared for a year and a bit, now it's all clear



 Sky's the limit and miles more



 All the while tryna get another foot in the door



 It's hard though, but as the years evolved



 And other problems solved the deeper we became involved



 Every night I used to write



 Makin' sure the rhymes were tight, steppin' away from the light



 As the seconds ticked applause follows



 Groundhog tomorrows, sick of all the fake hellos



 I must break from the nonsense



 At the expense of those who play false pretence



 The evidence I leave is permanent



 With demos hit studios where money was spent



 Also, flow so, dictate on a micro-tape



 One day I'm gonna blow so, cos I said so



 The material raw, ready for streets



 Better grab seats cos there ain't no repeats



 Food to fill the belly give me energy



 People sayin' I'm my worst enemy



 But hey, talk is cheap, you must be asleep



 Wake up cos on streets you ain't defendin' me



 Daddy said, "Look out for the punks who ride backs



 Two pound acts", I'm like yeah, then he reacts



 "They lack principles, quick money they chase



 But son, you've got the morals, you're invincible



 I know hard work finally pays



 There's gonna be bad days and good days, but anyway



 Stay strong, it might happen quick or take long



 It's definite, my calculations have never been wrong"



 I heeded the words of intelligence



 Spoke by the man I respect the most, and then he left



 Earth seems to be a long way from home



 My boy is only two and already holds a microphone



 Touch wood, things are gonna get good



 For '95-6-7-8-9, 2000



 Alright, I know I made mistakes



 Slippery snakes took a chunk of the cakes that's where the chain



 breaks



 Huh, this is a new beginnin'



 Thank God for the strength to keep me goin'



 And thank those who gave support when times were rough



 Keep watchin' this space cos I'll be blowin'



 The only question is when will I ignite?



 And then hold a mic and maybe strike again



 Sooner than you think, who could loop and link



 Lyrics together where your time's seen competitors sink



 Desperation with his hands around my neck



 The clip is unbreakable, it just takes a sec



 But wait, stuck in a room with the same four walls



 I wanna get away, I must make some calls



 I need some money first, water to quench my thirst



 So many things on my mind, it's gonna burst



 Tsk... Damn it, I'm fed up



 I'm better than this, I deserve more than this



 Tryna convince myself it ain't all bad



 But in the meantime I think I'm goin' crazy



 Call the media, tell 'em I quit



 I don't need the papers on my back every time I hit



 That's it, so I slip into darkness



 It's a hell of a life on the planet bein' an artist.
