Mark B & Blade - The Unknown lyrics

[Sample] We are the unknown... [Verse 1] Sometimes it feels like the chips are down Nothing is going your way You've been recording endlessly Sleepless nights aimlessly Songs wasted cos tapes are gathering dust Step 1, we're talented Step 2, who can we trust? The industry is full of cutthroats, false hopes Money controls, k**ing of many souls, anything goes You know the ropes But if you ain't part of the click, you ain't part of the plan So you might as well quit Studios costing the earth to hire You feel, you could set the world on fire If you had a deal But let's be real about this It ain't what you know, it's who you know It's all a game and we're all part of the show What's the role that you play? Can you do it your way? You need a hell of a lot a luck being from the UK You can say what you wanna say But remember it's rare that you'll be getting continuous airplay [Hook] We are the unknown Now you know the name Unstoppable, clever, artistic You're about to enter a higher-level dimension We're fantastic We are the unknown Now you know the name Break the barriers and persist to climb Many have travelled down the road that you're about to take Made, many mistakes while searching for the perfect break Years of hardships, ripped jeans, a bearded face You were there at the wrong time in wrong place Maybe next time when you ain't looking desperate They'll be on you like a rash Yeah, you guessed it They wanna know your name, where you're from How long you been an entertainer for And who wrote the songs Do you know Danny from Sony? Or Mike at Universal? Dawn from RCA? I met her at the dress rehearsal Name checking can get you recognised further But in the mean time trying to survive is murder It's all game to them, but to us it's life or d**h Or maybe they just lack a lot of depth Or maybe they just don't understand What it means to be record How it feels to perform, but we go on [Hook] We are the unknown Now you know the name Unstoppable, clever, artistic You're about to enter a higher-level dimension We're fantastic We are the unknown Now you know the name Artistical brain waves of the unsizables On the streets you're recognised, your name's all over the town You've been recording for years and you're well renowned Situations confuse you Bad luck pursues you Promoters hire you for your services and use you They fail to pay you They aim to play you My advice is play the games like they do Who knows what's around the corner It could be the break that you've been waiting for As a performer We sense something's about to happen Keep it up Never give it up No matter what they all might say One day it could pay off Watch the parasites Crowd around you Like you're some sort of megastar But in the mean time trying to survive is murder And the conditions you're living in have never been worse It's in your blood, you're addicted Nothing can change that Make your move, this is payback [Outro] We are the unknown Now you know the name Mark B, Blade We're fantastic Break through barriers and persist to climb We are the unknown Now you know the name Unstoppable, clever, artistical
