Upside Down

Now let me tell a story that's all about how I keep letting everything turn upside down Knocked back like that but I come back round And I'd like to take a minute just to kick it right now It's just a couple minutes of your time For me it's nearly every single second of my life Yeah yeah, just a couple minutes of your time For me it's nearly every single second of my life I don't know what I'm expecting Getting on this train to ride away to somewhere next and Out my comfort, zone although I'll do it for my bro You better know I learnt my lesson Soaking up the sunny day, a catalyst for runaway Thoughts, and it's unfortunate for sure cuz I didn't know where I was heading, look I had to let it sit, it's like my second trip Should be calm I guess F*ck me, should've second guessed my guess a bit Who'd a thunk it? Weird vibes and to the point that I was drinking But my body wasn't drunk yet Went there for my day one, on day one Re-eavaluating where I sit upon this table, where I came from? Yeah sentences from a pair of classic white feminists I cannot say for definite but felt like an affront towards my melanin Should tell em then I got a couple books that I would recommend Now let me tell a story that's all about how I keep letting everything turn upside down Knocked back like that but I come back round And I'd like to take a minute just to kick it right now It's just a couple minutes of your time For me it's nearly every single second of my life Yeah yeah, just a couple minutes of your time For me it's nearly every single second of my life Shout to Ruby Hamad Put me onto white women doing up scars Weaponising every tear through gratuitous chants And I really hate to say it, but the truth man it's harsh Wonder why I'd ever leave the London life again For these bubbles full of trouble and succumb to fire, brim Stone, I'm going home where it's been known the world exists Beyond the culture that's involved with all the ones with whiter skin Tone, I know I've said this shit befo' but lo' behold It's been a well enlightened trip You won't find me there again And if you do then realise that I've decided I'll no longer bite my tongue When you decide to speak the lies that do reside upon your lips And to be real, I've been sizing up my friends Who act performative as f*ck, but do not get The type of life that I would live And how their words and what they do would have a sizeable effect Got no time for any of that type of shit Now let me tell a story that's all about how I keep letting everything turn upside down Knocked back like that but I come back round And I'd like to take a minute just to kick it right now It's just a couple minutes of your time For me it's nearly every single second of my life Yeah yeah, just a couple minutes of your time For me it's nearly every single second of my... Life... Funny how when I get back to my ends I feel like me I'm attractive again They lied to our faces made us feel like we're not like them and we ain't Had us trapped in our lack of faith and upset Don't believe that shit Nah brother don't need that shit It's not that deep 'til they realise that we had to live and breathe and bleed that shit When it's "Here we go again" they can keep that shit Cuz the route we took, can't see that shit Yeah, there's no act or pretend Part of a league of immaculate men Who had to attack, no one backing them No one's backing us, with their backs to us Never cut no slack, always acting sus So we ride out different Living life now different We're a vibe now, different That word don't like it, victim Too much power to the white man, pick then What you gonna do instead? Me, I went in the booth instead Could've wallowed and cried like I did back then But I built my looks, took care of myself And I went in pursuit of the truth instead Peaceful? Nah, what I choose instead Went to the club got drunk with a bottle of Bub like Fif Set fire to the roof instead Yeah, best believe I'm on smoke F*ck your feelings I really do hope You hear this shit all day, everyday in the back of your brain In the club, when the car go past, everybody's like ayyy Your voice drowned out by the beat and the baassss A fraction, yeah, hope you like that... Taste...(yeah...) Best believe I'm on smoke F*ck your feelings I really do hope You hear this shit all day, everyday in the back of your brain In the club, when the car go past, everybody's like ay Voice drowned out by the beat and the bass A fraction, yeah, hope you like that fucking... Taste.. Dickhead...
