Yo yo let me talk
Hear the freedom in my speeches, off these teachings
Reach off the power like leeches
Overtime hours aim reaching for champagne showers
Cower under the roof, we lie awake under the truth
It's power no spoof, while we lie awake in silence
Hear my drive from the brake screeches, no violence
Don't lie around and wait for timeless features
Don't mistake the fakes for greats, it's never too late to sand these beaches
Stand out from niches, get on TV with Lorraine I ain't talking about quiches
Because our potential is waiting
Because our potential is waiting
Because i ain't no stereotype so don't put me in a box
I'm thinking outside it, my pad's got no locks
And i ain't got no tattoo's, there's no ink on this skin
Just the ink on my paper, but my words are growing thin
It's absurd like my sin, and it's lost like my patience
I feel i'm on the right track, but the train's left the station
A lost generation, trials and tribulations
If this is all there is where can we find motivation
So i look to commuters, packed in London trains
Follow like sheep to stay 9 to 5 at computers
Coz there's so much competition, and life is an audition
Yet f** thinking i need your permission to be a musician
To envision a tradition of no suits and no boots
They strangle like straight jackets, don't try to dispute
But we keep going around, forced into play like a throw-in
All ups and down but still a constant plateauing, in a daily routine
No excitement of not knowing in the queue for caffeine
Yo yo let me talk
Because our potential is waiting
Because our potential is waiting
Because our potential is waiting
Everything we dream is possible to create, this fate, and
Daymares at daytime, nightmares come alive
But you still see my vision when i close my eyes
Do you even realise the disguise you've kept hidden in the skies
While bed ridden, drawn to the light like flies
Discovering states when it gets late, no taxes or hates
Ride on the inflatables, are we plain fools with platefuls
Or desperate take it alls
Just swim with your pools of idea
We don't just educate from schools, we just don't use our tools at all here
Yo yo let me talk
Yo yo let me talk
Yo yo let me talk
Yo yo let me talk
