M-Phazes - Cinematic lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, long as cameras on us hold it, let it roll And I'll give you the greatest story I've ever told Started green, and out of my reach On the Bayside beaches and south-side streets Frankston line trains: I found my niche Teenage dreams bound by speech Native tongue I talk rap sh** but of course Fluent in the universal language of f** 'em all Testament to patience Shattered every estimate they gave With hat and hand never said it's greatness Put in four or five years, that work ethics amazing Either pay respect or be mistaken Dudes tried startin' sh**, youse no part of it I don't raise my voice I improve my argument I've done it before, won't hesitate to do it again My city, my pad, my pen [Hook] Life feels cinematic right now Life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now Life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now It's all lights, camera, action right now And life feels cinematic right now [Verse 2] There's no pressure to prove none of you wrong You the same ones judging whole careers off a couple of songs Man my sk**s still tight as sh**, but sk**s ain't love without icing So I slid a velvet glove over iron fist It worked, deal with it, I'm my own meal ticket Did it while they stayed home still b**hin' So f** a d**h threat, my family's proud I can't please everyone, but I can buy a house I've been humbled by love, toughened by hate I've grown thick-skin, never been coloured in jade I'm still as hungry as I ever was, we stayed steady on Look at everyone else, where's the effort gone? Worked magic with the mic Since the days where the pay was a fraction of the flights Now the proof rules, we don't buy in the hype It's the fourth time, cue the highlights [Hook] Life feels cinematic right now Life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now Life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now It's all lights, camera, action right now And life feels cinematic right now [Verse 3] Middle finger to the magistrate, the one that got away Middle cla** white boy, stand with my back up straight Navigated fake friends and false accolades Swear I'll never break bread with that pack again New day more extras and advances Hand in hand with more pressure, better standards I'm well aware by expressing it with grandeur I ask more questions than I answer Rack your brain, hip-hop my guardian angel Married to the music, game to stay faithful Never satisfied that where I'm at's right Cause success ain't final, failure ain't fatal, I Fall down, straight back on the bounce Diamond in the rough, now j**el in the crown Might not be much but it's all I'm about When I stop and look out at the crowd [Hook] Life feels cinematic right now Life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now Life feels cinematic right now And life feels cinematic right now It's all lights, camera, action right now And life feels cinematic right now [Outro] Maybe one day you will realise what this means to me Maybe you won't, but I know This is me from twelve till now My life has been put in these rhymes For almost as long as I can remember And this is it The moment I'll look back on as one of my greatest highs And all of you made this possible I couldn't thank you if I tried But let me try
