MATT S lyrics : "Listen Again"
[Intro]
Yo, shout out to Tantu on this one man, about to go in, yeah...!
[Verse 1]
Now I don't mean to be blunt/
But why can't I express myself and be upfront/
Without being judged and seen as a chump/
Because music's what I love and that should be enough/
Certain stuff that I encounter/
Has a great power/
Over me as I try to climb the latter/
Of success because I want to be a master/
At rapping but not a rapper actor/
In fact your skills don't match up to mine/
I constantly grind and you just constantly whine/
Because you don't have time and you don't shine/
But you need dedication of the strongest kind/
I'm just telling you the truth/
Cuz it's something you could use/
You need to build and stop being a fool/
Make better songs and maybe we'll be cool/
All I ask is you improve, dude/
[Chorus]
Everyday I get up and I write/
About the events taking place in my life/
Then I make music to help reach the light/
But people always ask me, "Are you alright?"/
"Are you okay, is it something that I said?"/
"Are you really just messed up in the head?"/
"Do you really wish you were dead?"/
"Nahh man, listen to the song again, friend"/
[Verse 2]
People really think that they know me/
But they have no way to show me/
Yet I'm a "homie" as you said yet I feel lonely/
Just leave me alone please/
I'm writing very slowly/
Because emotions are flowing/
And I can't cope so I write lowly/
I can't breathe it feels like I'm choking/
Give me some help because I'm drowning mostly/
Because of the fact that all my friends left me/
Yeah they no longer respect me/
Especially the best ones I had that were always next to me/
Now they're gone so they can't help me/
I'm not healthy/
My mind is going a little crazy/
But my girlfriend is the one that really saved me/
Hopefully she won't escape me/
As in dump me or break up with me, hopefully/
[Chorus]
Everyday I get up and I write/
About the events taking place in my life/
Then I make music to help reach the light/
But people always ask me, "Are you alright?"/
"Are you okay, is it something that I said?"/
"Are you really just messed up in the head?"/
"Do you really wish you were dead?"/
"Nahh man, listen to the song again, friend"/
[Verse 3]
So I guess you could say I'm an angry person/
Yet you don't see me up on songs cursin'/
I'm always rehearsin' the words I'm exertin'/
To get the best message across, not the worse one/
I want people to be, inspired by me/
So they can higher achieve their goals by the words of me/
I want to make a change in the world positively/
But then again I'm just me/
The 15 year old kid who doesn't fit in/
And chose a career path that doesn't fit him/
A white kid spittin'/
But then again look at Mac Miller or Eminem/
I can follow my dreams by the looks of them/
I'll never give up on what could be mine/
I love to rap I could do it a lifetime/
And do it the best way I find/
So when I spit rhymes I'm proud of my lines, right?/
[Chorus x2]
Everyday I get up and I write/
About the events taking place in my life/
Then I make music to help reach the light/
But people always ask me, "Are you alright?"/
"Are you okay, is it something that I said?"/
"Are you really just messed up in the head?"/
"Do you really wish you were dead?"/
"Nahh man, listen to the song again, friend"/
