[Intro]
It's time to bring it back
Shoutout Teeza
[Verse 1]
It's been a minute since I clutched a pen
Trying to bring back the realness, I can't leave it up to them
Sitting in an empty field, escaping from the city stress
People chasing money but when getting it they're not content
Been on a path a quest for peace of mind it's hard to get
When it's easier to sit and hide behind a mask instead
Conform to the normal be boring and formal
But on this planet man, there's only one of you, not a plural
It's time to break out, take chances, question, create answers
I swear I won't stop until I'm challenging the great artists
Change the game, shake up the system, like the late Marxists
Fuck restriction, create a lane if there ain't markets
Not born to fit in, born to fit out
People desperate for attention to the point they get their dick out
It was guaranteed 100 likes, there's poison in the people's roots
Needing validation people looking for an ego boost
[Chorus]
I think you have to lose yourself to find yourself
Looking for the answers look inside yourself
Don't give a fuck about approval
Do something different from the usual
[Verse 2]
It's always hard releasing verses
With a personality, not happy 'til it's perfect
My biggest fear is being vague and scratching at the surface
Like the pop songs, you've never heard, but you feel you've heard it
Cos the formula's the same, it's a formulaic game
Artists treated like disposables, manufactured contained
Presented that's approachable, passively weak and tame
And they say that they had to play the game to change the game but
JME went to number 10, that's independent
The moral of the story is don't be counting on dependence
Don't be resting on your laurels, never know who's in attendance
If you're spittin', singing, or lifting weight on weight benches be relentless
Don't be scared of losing friendship
Don't be easily offended
Everybody has relief
It's just that mine is with a pen tip
[Chorus]
I think you have to lose yourself to find yourself
Looking for the answers look inside yourself
Don't give a fuck about approval
Be something different from the usual
