Mark B - The Unknown lyrics

.We are the unknown Sometimes it feels like im chasing dimes Nothing is goin 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, force holds Money controls, k**in wit many souls...anything goes You know the rules 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 lets be real about this Its ain't what you know, its who 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 .We are the unknown Now you know the name Unstoppable clever, artistic You're about to enter a higher-level dimension We are 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 hardship, ripped jeans, a bearded face You were there at the wrong time and the 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 Yeah, you know Danny from Sony? Mike at Universal? Paul from R.C.A? I met her at the dress rehearsal Name checkin can get you recognised (for the) But in the mean time try to survive this further It's all game to them, but to us its life or d**h Or maybe they just like a bit .a. debt Or maybe they just don't understand What it means to be poor I refused to perform but we go on .We are the unknown. (chorus) Artistical brain waves of the un-sizables The streets recognise your names all of the time 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 game Like they do Who knows what is round the corner It could be the break that you.ve been waitin for As a performer Except something's about to happen Keep it up Never give it up No matter what they all might say One day you could pay off Watch the .palacites Prow your money Like you're some sort of megastar But in the mean time trying to survive is murder And the conditions you're living in could never be worse Its in your blood, you're addicted Nothing can change that Make your move . this is payback .We are the unknown Now you know the name Mark B, Blade We are fantastic Break through barriers and persist to climb .We are the unknown (Mixes of other versions of chorus)
