Gripp - Metarap lyrics

[Verse 1: Gripp] I don't wanna rap about rap no more or ask to be pa**ed the torch From whatever backpacker you're clapping for 'Cos after the last batch of songs I rattled off I realized I don't give a rat's a** if you're happy or You ask for more, toss it in the basket or you pa** it off To half your friends and play it back again because the tracks are raw I ain't f**ing with the bull like out of work matadors More focused than your kid doping on Ritalin and Adderall Existence is like a prison with padded walls That opens out on a cliff with a dramatic fall And no I'm not crazy enough to make the jump But I could recognize I'm only taking up space. So, f**. Let's break it up 'Cos life is too repetitive and I'm ahead of the curve Metacognition: I express it in words And I express that I express it in words. Ad infinitum Adding synonyms, spinning them in until it's absurd [Verse 2: Gripp] No I don't feel inspired to rap; I feel required to rap It's a mother-f**ing virus, in fact I don't have much to say, and it's a tiring act Pliers latched onto my mind prying it back But I guess art is more cathartic than a high on the crack And otherwise I'd probably just be shy and hide in the back And I'm far to insecure to be resigning to that So I write to be exciting and just try to attract Attention, pining for that. Need to be seen and be heard As maybe more than just the consequence of previous Earths Cursing the deterministic sickness that's stitched in the world's existence And fixed it to sit me here speaking this verse I'm a leaf on the curb. I'm at the whim of the wind No direction is correct; I just extend and I bend Now I'm staring down the devil's most sinful of grins 'til he flips open his Moleskine to pencil me in [Verse 3: Gripp] Rap amounts to a plague. When I step down from the stage Unless mouths are agape, I'm feeling burnt out and enraged. I'm a clown when I Lay it down for them, a court jester with more pressure 'Til head-bowed and ashamed I step out of this game I'll be a beast then
