Harley Alexander-Sule - Earl Grey lyrics

[Hook] So now it's Earl Grey Now it's Earl Grey and sugar I want Earl Grey ,sugar and milk Tea, yes tea It's a simple pleasure It's a very simple pleasure But it's a pleasure I need (Check yeah, yo) [Verse 1] It was the first of many challenges To try convince the ma**es that we're talented In a world full of watermarked canvases And radios that don't play songs if there's a rap in it And fame's instantaneously given If your face is positioned where the ma**ive population is driven Believe what the papers have written cause Rarely does truth even make any difference, yeah We watch edited versions of others' lives To deal with the issues that we have another time Everything's an unpopularity contest If you're not voted out it's you that they want less You can end your career in one tweet And child counselors don't get enough sleep Professional footballers earn more in one week Than one of them earns in ten years at least They're swept of their feet They don't wanna know now If they're listening or watching they just wanna zone out Know how We don't even know how to find our own mouth When being spoon fed a dose of being docile [Hook] [Verse 2] Hoods up is a necessity Cause when my hood's down you still think less of me Yeah it's one vicious circle I'd rather keep my hood up to hide from all this negative energy It's no wonder our society is segregated When old people act surprised that I am educated Discretion should be taught more Rules mean nothing people love it when you break 'em Cause people clap when you're bad People clap when you're good People cheer when they're told People laugh when they should People dream of a little more sleep But go full throttle at the end of the week So gimme that club beat with the same old topic I need to sing along while I drive to the office Tell me to dance or 'bout the money that you make So I can go to my desk and dream my life was the same But being in the spotlight's a dark place Cause normality's a drug that you can't take People drive hard for a shot at the fast lane It's only people from school that you can cla** mates [Hook] [Verse 3] She's not smart but she's got a good heart It's not about the winner It's who took part Tell the person who came last when they should laugh, Haha (It's not about who took part) Hold up... Put down down You've got love by the bucket load Don't turn that noun upside down Don't frown (Check it) This train's like going out inside I just managed to get in with my side out It's really taking me somewhere Except standing means you don't fit in ADHD d** are like the latest HD plugs The ideas great but once you review the finer details you realize it's depressing Having too much of something isn't pleasant If I was born rich I'd kinda wish I was a peasant Cause you learn a lot of lessons If I was Jay Z and Beyonce I'd send Blue Ivy into the ghetto till she was like 11 And then be like surprise you're a millionaire All I'm saying is yo [Hook]
