STORMS ARE BREWING Don’t try to work me out, ’cause I’m confused myself I thought I knew me but the person that I knew has left The newer me is born; and the pressure’s on The world is in the palm of my hand and I’m feeling strong You thought I’d never make it, but you were wrong I even had the nerve to get this message to you in a song The things you put me through made me what I am Made me see the world for what it is. Took it like a man Re-arranged my whole life and now I understand Sometimes I get flashbacks of the days when no one gave a damn. That’s all it is; nothing more, nothing less I’m never going back again to the land of the stressed Where it’s survival of the fittest of men And all of this coz I had a mic, a pad and a pen And I was blessed with a gift and I swear I’ll let the world know it Never quit. Keep on coming at you till I’m done with it Twenty years lurking in the shadows with my cap on Stage with the biggest of names so I could shine Conquer the universe with a beat and a rhyme Chorus: I’m an entertainer! I live to entertain An addict to performing, it helps to keep me sane Eighty thousand fans yelling out my name It ain’t about the fame. It runs in the veins I see the way you’re looking wondering what I’m cooking What’s the LP gonna be called, Storms Are Brewing Maybe? Maybe not? Regardless the albums hot Touch it and you’ll burn your fingers same way that I blew the spot I’m not the type to stand in front of an audience Turn my back and perform to the floor, what’s the point in this? I strive on the energy; Am who I claim to be I remember when I used to see the whole world as my enemy I was paranoid but now the paranoia’s null and void Had a fight with the negative side of my mind and left it destroyed Now I’m a different man. To elevate I had to be I wasn’t built in a factory; I was born and bred naturally I’m human, an individual none the less I talk through the music just to get stuff of my chest Coz I’m like that. Sometimes fictional but mostly fact I’m deadly when I rap so you might as well compare me to anthrax. I strike when you least expect, come correct And leave you standing with your outer shell cracked like you’re an Easter egg. Break a leg! You want more? Get on your knees and beg I’m hungry like I ain’t eaten for years. What do you expect? Chorus: I’m far from an eccentric protecting the world that I invented When I’m dead and buried my aim is to be remembered like I’m Hendrix I’m stubborn; I didn’t quite catch what you said. Pardon! If rhyming is a crime then I’m a criminal that’s been hardened Forget about it. You ain’t never gonna match me, I’m like an athlete Running the hundred metres in six seconds flat, you’ll never catch me. Move on or be blessed with the kiss of death I came to the place with nothing but words and took away your breath. Now you can’t breathe; been nuts since you tried to starve me It’s absolutely no use trying to calm me ’cause I’m barmy. Ordinary human being turned into a lunatic A product of the environment, no way! That’s not me. I’m a hundred and eighty three thousand steps ahead of the competition Listen! That’s the ignition. I mean business! If I died I’d come to life again Just so I can finish what I started. Make you say damn! ’Cause I’m the type who never quits, rip the mic to bits So you can see what’s going on inside, the construction is sick So it can handle what I’m feeding it, every level exceeding it You don’t believe me? Just wait till you’re seeing it! Chorus: |
