[Verse 1: Truth Be Known]
A film star dies young, cash can't stop a low?
Tell a man that's about to crop a grow
Tell a man that's in his high vis vest getting up at crack of dawn doesn't wanna go
Try tell it to an up and coming MC then getting hype in the booth gonna drop a flow
Tell a homeless man that he can do without the money when the frost bite chopped off his toes
It's on a daily that I handle disappointment
This is having an effect on over all enjoyment
I never want to be a company man, because you're taking liberty because the company can
But I'm still trying to bang that overtime in
Am I picking over time over my thing?
The sky's gone dark and there's no silver lining
Us rappers burn out when we're no longer shining
[Chorus: Lewis Cox]
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I'm coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I've been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I'm still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I'm coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I've been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I'm still grounded
[Verse 2: Mr. Chuks]
I'm gifted so I express myself like Wale
See I don't care what it is y'all haters gotta say
I don't welcome negativity, get out of my face
Like Rick Ross in KFC, boy you're out of place
It's the remix, Chuks & Kaizo Minds be k**ing sh**
Writing all around the clock is the only way we see fit
Know that everything I spit comes from within
We used to haters so to us it ain't no big thing
I'm victorious all I know is win
k**ing lotta beats not sure God can cleanse all my sins
Speaking of Bun B, I know I keep it trill
I'm sorry Cox but on this beat I'm going for the k**
Wanna be rappers be outta time & discussing irrelevant matters
This culture ain't everyone & that is why they dreams getting shattered
This game is irreversible so I feel grounded
Rest in peace to Pac & Biggie, in my opinion the founders
[Chorus: Lewis Cox]
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I'm coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I've been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I'm still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I'm coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I've been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I'm still grounded
[Verse 3: Lewis Cox]
I told you before, I knew that I was Grounded
This is the empire, so you know that I crowned it
Always putting one hundred and ten into any business venture
Used to get bullied but now I bully rappers left, right and centre
MC Lars told me that he really feels the original
Now the idea of being a rapper, that feels really official
So no time for dismissal, its time to work harder
From the UK to the world Kaizo Minds we're growing larger
You know that we're expanding
Careless handling, mic damaging
Cause all these excess emotions, they all need channelling
I've stepped up into the cypher with flows and I've froze
But I knew I wanted to rap with the pros
And play shows to fans that come in droves
So I'm walking with both feet on the roads seeing where this goes
Cause some rappers have as much conscience as a nudist has clothes
If you've got nothing nice to say, make like MJ and beat it
Grounded went off so we just had to do a remix
[Chorus: Lewis Cox]
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I'm coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I've been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I'm still grounded
Cause the first time I crowd surf I want the mic in my hand
I'm coming down to earth, somebody clear space for me to land
I've been moving up, ever since the day this was founded
My head is so high in the sky, but I'm still grounded
[Verse 4: Lewis Cox]
If you keep your head in the clouds then you're keeping it grounded
If you keep your feet on the ground then you're keeping it grounded
If you keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground and you like the way this sounds, then you already know, that you're keeping it grounded
