Speech Debelle - Finish This Album lyrics
My quiet observations on the bus city people lost trust Maudleys out patients are shouting with the pavements They looking rough can t get to grips so they end up looking worse than sh** Maybe if I can see who there talking too I might talk to them to so they can prove The spirit never lies but before I get to try the clouds open up and let god cry Why is this white lady nervous cause 3 black youths come on so she checking were her purse is Make me feel nervous like they aint my country like they don t really want me But mummy always love me I never had a daddy it was me and my mummy Mummy was my daddy I can either cry or see it as funny How you can have a child and then just leave Now I m walking around with my heart on my sleeve cause I m effected anytime anybody leave You can see my scars and hear my silent screams I been reading books to an*lyse my dreams and to me it seems The only chance we get to make sense of it is when we put our heads down a little bit That s why I m spittin it cause each one teach one and you can take it how you want don CHORUS Right now I got a lot of work to do I gotta smooth out my edges Eat more vedges Listen to my elders Vibe with my peers Confront my fears and Finish this album Right now I got a lot of work to do I gotta represent the youth Speak more truth Eat more fruit Get wise with my years Confront my fears and Finish this album But it seems I get side tracked it s like a mind trap I get a call real late bout were the foods at Cause certain man a certain place got certain food to taste so my Nikes are laced And I was never really one to stay awake through a working day for them little bit pay yo This nine to five is just k**ing me slowly but quitting is for quitters so I wait until they fire me But now no one will hire me cause I got more lies in my CV than a pro s had STD s When will they see I was born to reign entrapment is my pain I need to feel alive again I need a man that compliments my stride ovastand I m this way until I die Has ambitions of his own so ovastand i don t wanna be alone I just need a little time in my zone This one goes out to my shotters in the alleys were all brothers and sisters were all family All my sisters trying to raise there babies all the youth man with court cases crazy It s like the smarter you are the bigger your worries stupid people are lucky trust me This one goes out to my people with ambition I m still learning I m still trying but for now Honesty is courage and since I got the heart of a lion then there s no sense in lying I portray my life over violins no matter what it brings least I m being real When I look at my future I fear failure I fear the fact that you might not like me I know I m sk**ed but just maybe slightly what if my light don t shine so brightly I m scared of that I m telling you the truth I m scared of that What if the doctor said you couldn t have children What if the system they tried to topple what I m billing better living for all my ghetto children And I don t mean were you live I mean your state of mind Cause ghettos not just a place ghetto is a vibe And I don t need no boastie words or complicated flows If I know what I gotta do then I flow But sometimes I get tired sometimes I lose faith I guess that s the reason that we got to church Cause when you at the bottom of the barrel it hurts need something to believe in and God works You think spiritual is just hocus pocus what you really saying is you have not noticed Inside us all is a silent protest you can acknowledge or ignore but me
