A metaphor for taking a gamble to achieve your dreams.
lyrics
Chorus A
It takes guts
To pick up the mic you stick you twist or you bust,
Where i come from u get bigged up or you get cussed
Always come with the flow unknown that only you’ve sussed
Originality man thats a must
Prepare for the breaks and the bruises if you’re pulling off stunts
Most people will give you a chance only the once
A planted seed doesn’t mean you’re pruning buds
But if you’re getting the etiquette, take two puffs
Verse 1
Got scuffs on the cuffs from those who got fisty
Bobbed and i weaved and i dodge and they missed me
Hot on the heels jostling with quick feet
Shot to the top of the bonce got the victory
Love on the collar from girls who got frisky
She was on wine while I was on the whiskey
Only a matter of time till we got tipsy
Lipstick glittery
Glimmer in mystery
Things move quick when you pull a fast one
Always a risk might be the last one
Without a pardon
Scars are from
where the shade darken
make your face harden
Hard done by cant be the bly or harp on
Finish If you start wrong
Live it like the last song
Even if a chance gone
Believe that the chance come
Where you near to
Where you far from
Go with what got
If you not got a lot
Coz a lot can be got
When you step off the spot
If you want what you want
You should want what you’ve got
Coz a want is the font that stop ink from the blot
Keep writing
Creating
Trailing
Failing
Smiling
Wailing
Success is lying in waiting
The only lie
Is waiting for it
If you want it
Must wage and forage
Make a promise
And always stay honest
Have respect and always pay homage
Take all comments with a positive spin
Coz not everyone will want you to win
So be inspired by the life you”re living
If you have desire you’ll never give in
Bridge 1
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never, never, never
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
Chorus B
It takes guts
To pick up the mic you stick you twist or you bust,
Where i come from you get bigged up or you get cussed
Always come with the flow unknown that only you’ve sussed
Originality man thats a must
Prepare for the breaks and the bruises if you’re pulling off stunts
Most people will give you a chance only the once
A planted seed doesn’t mean you’re pruning buds
But if you’re getting the etiquette, take two puffs
Verse 2
Throw lyrics at tracks like baseballs at bats
When it impacts
Im smacking it
Hitting a home run
When it comes to mc styles yeah you know I’ve got my own one
I ain’t cloned one
Ive grown one
Ever since
I was a little kid I’ve been influenced
Into this as a lyricist
Started in 96
Known for rhyming quick
On the playground in my lunch breaks
Used to give out nuff tapes
They said i’d make it one day
Instead of doing my homework
Made sure i got my flow learnt
Teachers used to go berserk coz at school you’re told to learn
More interested in rave tapes and bass waves coming from the airwaves
Had bare rave flyers in my wall
DJs and MCs inspired by them all
Started writing coz the price of decks was to high to afford
Now I stayed with the ones that stuck with me
Even when
No one gave a fuck for me
they showed love for me!
Bridge 2
They showed love for me,
Stay with the ones that stuck with me
Even when
No one gave a fuck for me
The showed love for me
