This weren't ever handed to me
I ain't got a choice
I have to get it
It's mandatory
Tryna go further then they expected
I can't settle for less
Ain't doing no more semesters
Just to end up in debt
That's a, myth
Doing double digit shifts
Tryna make a couple quid
What kinda life is that to live?
I want more
Than working day in and day out
For pennies
Doing something I don't give a f*ck about
Man I used to kick ball in the streets everyday
Now all I think about is when I'm next getting paid
Checks to be made
Work moving slow
No time to be reminiscing bout a life I used to know
Cos clinging onto fantasies
And living in reality's a deadly combination
That shit'll test your sanity
I been there
It's no joke
Be grateful if you don't know
I ain't getting sleep
Now I think I'm going loco
Who's that talkin in my ear?
I can hear the whispers
And I can hear it clear
I think it's the devil on my shoulder
And he's up to something
Ah man he's up to something
For real there's nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
Nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
Who's that talkin in my ear?
I can hear the whispers
And I can hear it clear
I think it's the devil on my shoulder
And he's up to something
Ah man he's up to something
For real there's nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
Nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
This goes deeper than the surface
Look behind the curtains
You can see a whole nother person
Everyday I struggle with self doubt
Cos the devil on my shoulder want poison me like a serpent
Talking like
"What if you fail? What if you never make it?
An you spend the rest of your days forever chasing?
Forever waiting
An saying this, time next year you'll celebrating
You're praying that, by next year you'll have have blown up
But next will year will never come nor show up
It's time to quit the rap ting now man grow up
Cos it's a cold world
Just know you ain't getting no help from no one"
You talk too much brudda
I ain't tryna hear that
If, buts an maybes
I could never fear that
It's clear that I was made for this music
Now watch me make waves as I prove it
I knew this would never be easy
I ain't clueless
But you know I'm down for the ride
No matter how many times
They knock down in the fight
I bounce back to the top
Like jack in the box
I'll go 100 rounds an I'm fine
Who's that talkin in my ear?
I can hear the whispers
And I can hear it clear
I think it's the devil on my shoulder
And he's up to something
Ah man he's up to something
For real there's nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
Nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
Who's that talkin in my ear?
I can hear the whispers
And I can hear it clear
I think it's the devil on my shoulder
And he's up to something
Ah man he's up to something
For real there's nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
Nothing he wants more then to see me fall
Nothing he wouldn't do just to see me lose
