ExP+JND Chorus x2
I got this far so I’ll never look back
Sometimes I fail but I’m better than that
I need to take more than a second to act
Breathing deeper when the pressure is stacked
JND - Verse 1
Sooo whether it’s the weather that is miserable...
Or my breddas that are stressin’ I’m invincible...
Yeah, I might get down in panic
But when I write it down I’m laughing;
Cos these type of clouds that’s passing have a silver lining...
And while I’m grafting hard, man – I keep my chin up
And walk a little taller when I’m fornicating with a pin-up
It keeps my grin up plus makes me feel a smidgen stronger
And if it ends tomorrow – I’ll carry on and shrug my shoulders...
I’m not a veteran, MAN; but I’m together and packed;
When the pressure is stacked;
I take a breather or two...
It doesn’t take a genius or fool, to see that people are both venal and cruel
Forget stepping and stressing tho, I go steady so
I’ve got a second to think before I’m letting go;
Of the words from my tongue I’m just saying that;
Weigh your chance up before mistakes are had
ExP+JND Chorus x2
I got this far so I’ll never look back
Sometimes I fail but I’m better than that
I need to take more than a second to act
Breathing deeper when the pressure is stacked
ExP - Verse 2
Dedicated to the times, when I shouldn’t have moaned
I should have shrugged off the fuss instead of bullshit and groan
I musn’t have known I had somewhere to go
And friends and family who look out for me; when I’m rubbish and low
Snowed under with woe, over something that’s so
Unbelievably minimal, it just doesn’t show
Maybe I’m scared that I’ll end up alone
Just cos I don’t
Have a picture of my bird sticking out her tongue on my phone
So the pressure I’m sure, I don’t have to stack
I need to relax, before it’s the straw that snapped the camel’s back
I’m more often than not, out to have a laugh
Gimme a gange sack, some nice tracks, and that’s my habitat
Sometimes too many I have a nap
But I’m happy that I can manage rap
And work to pay for an average flat
Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped...
But banish that thought to the back of my mind; and relax...
Pause for speech...
Some people, I wasn’t sure I’d reach
But the more I keep at it man, the more it meets
Every expectation I had; formed to beats
Happiness like lying down after basketball on warm concrete
Life is not, an episode of Dawson’s Creek
But nor are dreams impossible to be all achieved
A shit month is only as long, as four more weeks
So keep your chin up with your jaws and cheeks
ExP+JND Chorus x2
I got this far so I’ll never look back
Sometimes I fail but I’m better than that
I need to take more than a second to act
Breathing deeper when the pressure is stacked? pressure is stacked
