[Hook] x2 This is hip hop, you ain't gotta do it in a certain way Grab a pen and pad and let your brain waves circulate Or simply nod your head 'till it hurts your brain Or simply nod your head 'till it hurts and say... [Verse 1] I stargaze with an open mind And stay focused on the slow process of life Whilst holding a pint Holding this mic's my escape from this world full of jokers and lies See holes in the sky yet I still never question it Getting pissed, meaning of life seems irrelevant That's why I'm penning this My brain needs to make room for all these strange thoughts that I store when I take shrooms Make dreams and push my pa**ion for these paragraphs I never knew it was there until I had a chance Suddenly a spark now, Sam is addicted Spitting 'till six eyes gaze with a lit spliff Just a misfit, looking for a quick fix Lyrics over hunger and lunch, so he skips it And dig this, he was psycho and mad Used to bite on his hands without biros and plans [Hook] x2 This is hip hop, you ain't gotta do it in a certain way Grab a pen and pad and let your brain waves circulate Or simply nod your head 'till it hurts your brain Or simply nod your head 'till it hurts and say... [Verse 2] I can't think, my string of thoughts tied in knots I feel helpless and I'm sick of fighting off writer's block I know what I wanna say but it's like I'm lost Every time I put my pen to the page and try writing lots So I put my pen down Then I came to think of it If each word has a synonym Lyrics are infinitive So I started scribbling, nib dribbling Delivering a million images, visions are limitless Only when my figure is starting to die I'll depart from my mic Cause I got more bars in my mind than stars in the sky It's hard to define when every bar that I write craves to seek a deeper meaning to the saga of life I don't listen to the news I know half of it's lies It's like we're partially blind to who's crafting our mind Parliament tries, sigh, but the answer to why they whine, argue and fight seems hard to define [Hook] x2 This is hip hop, you ain't gotta do it in a certain way Grab a pen and pad and let your brain waves circulate Or simply nod your head 'till it hurts your brain Or simply nod your head 'till it hurts and say... [Verse 3] I was third place from an early age I burned a grade, and turn all the hurt and hate To words on page What I learnt to say, my mind questioned Every other second of attention Second step friends to prevent them Selfish, never would attend my detentions Friendship, every other second I pretend, kid Ever there that I meant it Lemming in my head to correct it At least I thought it did Now I'm sitting with a headache and the floor looks big I'm talking sh**, bored of this Gimme more to drink, all aboard the ship If you want to get wavy Lately, I've been lacking wait so I made me Iller and sicker with vigorous images I'm bigger and bigger and living with liquor You're looking at the kid in the mirror Just a waste man, you're about as safe as my mate's dad
