Shy One - Thinking Aloud lyrics
OK So, remember on the previous track I was saying how I'm not sure where my head's at? This track's kind of an extension of that thought Bigging up Shy One, thank you Thank you very, very much Hold tight all the crew, yeah? If you can relate to this, enjoy Check me [Verse 1] Look I don't want much If I'm being honest I already had a touch in life My parents are still husband and wife I've already done so much in my time Mum says that's not enough I gotta shine Mumma, take time, I'm still reaching my prime I don't wanna get too deep with the rhymes Let me keep still on the seat of this bike Cause I don't wanna get bum sores I can't control what's gonna happen, it'll run course Told man you can't fully trust in a plan All you can do is do all that you can So I'm stood here thinking aloud Cause I get days when I don't know who I am Start to beat myself up then I remind myself it's normal And I'm only a man [Hook] Stood here thinking aloud What am I here to do? What's this about? Do I wanna get money? If so, what amount? Do I want so much that I can't count? Here trying to work out just what I need I think truth be told, I just wanna be Not sure what I want or what I need Truth be told, I've just gotta be [Verse 2] Women in my life don't get this They think I don't care cause I don't sweat sh** Like say I can't see where Wretch is I do my ting, they don't have to respect it What's more, they don't have to believe me I trust myself, I ain't gonna get weepy You don't trust me it's all good, leave me I'ma work hard till I get sleepy Going so hard when they can't see me Might be the reason they reckon I'm dreamy This ain't a game and I ain't no genie I can only do my best in the present Treat the future like it's a present True, I don't really know what I'm getting Best case, I can have a faint idea I can only try to make mine here [Hook] Stood here thinking aloud What am I here to do? What's this about? Do I wanna get money? If so, what amount? Do I want so much that I can't count? Here trying to work out just what I need I think truth be told, I just wanna be Not sure what I want or what I need Truth be told, I've just gotta be [Verse 3] If not being sure is a crime, I'm guilty I'm an animal, I'm filthy But I don't think that it's all that deep Don't see why you wanna call that weak I'm just being honest, so fall back, please Never did say I don't wanna make Ps Man know I don't wanna drop back to my knees I just don't wanna be part of any sleaze If not being sure is a crime, then jail me Chuck away the key, don't bail me No sweat, don't check for me, don't mail me You're best to steer clear for your own safety Sounds mad, but it's how I feel lately Being unsure's nothing like being lazy Saying that, maybe it is and I'm wrong Same way again if it isn't I'm not [Hook] Stood here thinking aloud What am I here to do? What's this about? Do I wanna get money? If so, what amount? Do I want so much that I can't count? Here trying to work out just what I need I think truth be told, I just wanna be Not sure what I want or what I need Truth be told, I've just gotta be [Hook] Stood here thinking aloud What am I here to do? What's this about? Do I wanna get money? If so, what amount? Do I want so much that I can't count? Here trying to work out just what I need I think truth be told, I just wanna be Not sure what I want or what I need Truth be told, I've just gotta be [Outro] Just a little bit of food for thought Just in case you were feeling peckish Yes
