Matt Cenere - Man On The Moon lyrics

[Verse 1] Ay yo I hardly read the sh** up on my Facebook wall-posts Cause some kids are gonna hate me although I read one from a kid who was in his teens How he hated life and he didn't have sh** to be He couldn't take it, he hated this place And he was gonna k** himself but didn't because of me Yeah, I ain't a saint and I ain't perfect But posts like that make the hate worth it People say the fame hurts of change All I've done is grown up, your still looking at the same person If my views can re-arrange your beliefs, oh If my songs can be saving a teen, yeah If my words go and change how you think Then I'mma make 'em believe in chasing in dreams You see that rock I'ma land on it soon And be the motherf**ing man on the moon [Chorus] Keep my head above the ground I know the time is only now And we can part the clouds and pave the path that No one else has ever run And I know it's time to ride the moon and chase the sun And we can part the clouds and make our way So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a lie [Verse 2] Making music is nothing like working a job People think I ain't deserving this spot Being real yo, I know that I deserve it because I worked my a** off so I feel I've earnt what Ive got See me battle different rappers, allways serve 'em a lot Try to clown, bring 'em down taking personal shots Then a certain response, made me understand when I said f*ggot really how hurtful it was I didn't mean to offend at all, but those stabs I won't have in my vocab anymore I ain't standing here defending myself, just to gain new fans, I'm trying to better myself I'm trying to better the world, I rap to get my point across I used to be the dude you'd avoid a lot Now I'm making a living out of my voice Staring out at the stars and the moon and playing join the dots [Chorus] With my head, above the ground I know the time is only now And we can part the clouds and pave the path that No one else has ever run And I know it's time to ride the moon and chase the sun And we can part the clouds and make our way So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a lie Keep my head above the ground I know the time is only now We can part the clouds and make our way So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a lie [Verse 3] Ay yo I never just thought, I'd be anything more Than a sh**ty rapper filling out a Centrelink form On a level I thought I could never be on Addicted to natural highs like when I perform Got out the hole that they buried me in Got sober, more grateful now than anyone is I wouldn't change any of this, if I can have whatever I wish Cause I'm stronger now than I ever have been I don't wanna preach, but the message is this The past happened, if it s**s then accept that it did The past is all mental, in your head it exists So live in the present and then it won't effect you a bit Channel all my energy to capture the moon Had it keep revolving and naturally grew See that rock in the sky I'mma land on it soon And be the motherf**ing man on the moon [Chorus] With my head, above the ground I know the time is only now And we can part the clouds and pave the path that No one else has ever run And I know it's time to ride the moon and chase the sun And we can part the clouds and make our way So tell me what you want But I don't wanna live a lie But I don't wanna live a lie But I don't wanna live a lie But I don't wanna live a lie
