Jess Kav - Still A Darkhorse lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] Tommy told me in the absence of my presence people recklessly conversing Second-guessing me, acting respectfully in person Allegedly I wanna be celebrity for tryna do this successfully Tommy said he heard this accidentally How could they question me, the same person wrote The Sermon I don't make bad decisions, i'm obsessively observant Understand as a man, I don't want somebody as a fan Should they ever think less of me for earning I do this to escape some sh** i'm heavily immersed in A path in life I wouldn't want an enemy traversing I give respect where its due, respect me and i'll respect you But the lack of respect for me's unnerving But everything is meant, even if the reason's yet to be determined There must have been a lesson needed learning So thank you for your energy, your negativity brought out the best in me Now you see me legacy is certain [Hook] The older heads said 'Life is what you make it, don't be waiting around You'll be a long time in your resting place in the ground' Never ran with the hares nah, I chase with the hounds And my aim is to remain until my name is renowned Oh you thought that I was just another flash in the pan Cause I was laying low-key while I was hatching a plan? Not me i'm too much of a pa**ionate man Guess i'm still a dark horse so i'm back with a bang [Verse 2] I don't do this for a living, nope.. This is what i'm living to do That's the reason my own mother thinks i'm missing a screw 'Paulie what's wrong with you?' I told her that I wish that I knew What do I do? I'm a musician, then the b**hing ensues I play the cards i'm dealt but keep my hand hidden from view So i'm only understood by a significant few But truth be told i'm no different than you Nah, f** it we are different.. You wouldn't even fit in my shoes These younger heads don't wait their turn they're all skipping the queue Ambition's cool, but you need to build discipline too Once you do it's out with the old and in with the new But while i'm here watch and learn or i'll bid you adieu They say some people stop living their lives at twenty five I'm twenty five now and feel like I lead many lives But Deano told me this and it's true Chase your dreams now or later you'll regret the ones you didn't pursue Get to your dreams kid.. [Hook] [Break: Jess Kav] How does it feel to know that you are loved [x 2] [Verse 3] You have to separate the business from the art Food for stomach, food for thought But which one do you starve? When it comes to art always listen to the heart But the other side we call that part swimming with the sharks Circling musicians with positions in the charts Wrong move and them business sharks ripping you apart That's why I rarely hit a blunt, cause my thinking should be sharp It's just a game of power, you can win it if you're smart My albums got some heavy rotation when they dropped And I nearly got complacent with the props Then some critics said the new sh** i'm making sounded pop Lost all motivation so I stopped But to them critics, I have to just give you my regards Cause you taught me how to deal with the critical remarks See i'm far too ambitious not to finish what i start So how's the sky the limit? This is written in the stars [Break]
