The Prodigy - Unwritten Confessions lyrics

Intro: I guess this is my welcome rap. And I'm not going to lie I've been waiting for this for a long time now and it's been tough. Sometimes there were moments where I felt like I wouldn't make it. And I know I'm not the only one who has felt this way. So this song is dedicated to those who feel like they don't have a voice. Those who feel like they didn't have a choice man. These are my words to you. 100% real talk Verse 1: I was born and bread in Joburg City The bright lights almost instantly made a player dizzy They got me so excited and clouded all of my judgement But here's what mama told me and so far it's what I've stuck with In life you either right your wrongs or ride along but if your font is wrong, I'm sorry dawg you'll have to ride alone That's why I write these songs Life ain't no fairy-tale Sometimes the weight of living overwhelms your mental scale People will always front acting like they got your back People will always judge you just because your skin is black That's life son but I don't want to generalize That's just a point of view that's been taken from general eyes She told me that the road is way too long until you make it That struggle is a two-way street either you give in or you take it Sometimes you're going to hate it Sometimes you're going to hate me I say no to you cos I love you and you're still my baby Commentators are commonly under-raters that cry And common haters are commonly common fakers that thrive I thank you lord for keeping momma alive Without her I would've died. She's my blessing in disguise Hook: That's real talk (man) That's real talk Just know that this is real talk That's real talk Verse 2: Look, these are all of my confessions All the venting from all my misdirection's I spit my heart and my soul when I rap in these sessions It's actually only out of cla** when a brother learns lessons The wind is blowing I hope it's taking a brother with it To a beautiful land where nobody is seen as a misfit Where flowers blossom and apple seeds turn to apple trees Where people prosper and haters aren't fueled by jealousy I've got to say man it's rest in peace to the old me You know I think the time has come to let my soul free I'm soul searching hoping to find the answers to issues Life is like a f***ing exam with no memo to flip through No answers to copy and no teacher to teach you The transparency of the system is something to see through But don't let your hardships define you, don't let them defeat you You finna shine like a diamond until these people see you Until they want to be you Until they're acting like your friendship's something so essential Because you finally used your mental to earn these credentials And now that you're resting on top they can see your potential Never knew I could be so gentle on an instrumental This game of living isn't given it isn't a stencil I've still got people asking if it's me and how it's possible We had a vision 2018, situations optimal Preaches like a gospel song Man look this isn't what it's meant to be Nobody should have to go through all of this mentally The strongest ones are the ones who feel all the pain Man this s**t is just so insane The best of you gets to the best of me Coincidentally, unintentionally Sometimes you feel alone but just know that you've got a friend in me We're waiting for the better days to come and if they don't we finna drown ourselves in a bottle of f***ing Hennesy Hook: That's real talk (man) That's real talk Just know that this is real talk That's real talk
