Mic Righteous - Tempo Of The Dance lyrics

[Verse 1] Trust me, never done this sh** for no one but me If we're bein' truthful, brother, I can tell you I've been hurt Sometimes I think, "f** these words" And then I write one deep verse And remind myself that I've seen worse, so I sit My publisher would rather put 1D first I remember when there was a time you used to trust me, thoughts Late night walks where it was just me Head torn, I've been tourin' up and down the country To come back to the county that I come from with no currency Visit one of my brothers cause he needs a bit of company And see he's livin' luxury Stuntin' doesn't seem so struggle-free My brother doesn't seem so brotherly You'll say you didn't mean it but the words you said are stuck with me I know you're under pressure, runnin' your own company You told me that the dream doesn't seem like it's comin' true Usually I brush it off but couldn't cause it comes from you That struck a chord, before you would encourage me, it cut me deep Too late to turn my back on everyone in front of me Thoughts? f** workin' like a horse for a couple beans Small town talk ask around If you sow a seed in doubt, plants will sprout Dumb digits'll climb up and they can't come down If you don't know your words are harmin', you better calm your mouth Vulnerable, in your lies lying comfortable Make you seem untouchable, and you're bein' gullible When that little bubble bursts you'll learn who really f**s with you That's why I'm screamin', "f** 'em all" [Hook] Only old pals around me, just allow me if you're not Cause these man only wanna be around you when you hot You wasn't 'round us from the drop, you just found us at the top And now I got these doubters, you can doubt us if you want Because I live to prove wrong (Only old pals around me) I said I live to prove wrong (I don't wanna hear your doubt nah allow me) I said I live to prove wrong (Don't doubt me if you don't know about me) I said I live to prove wrong (They won't know what happens 'til they ground me) [Verse 2] (They only wanna know about you when you're hot) Now the album's gonna drop All I hear is, "One day this" and "Some day that" Thought I got away from the devil but the c*nt came back She put that p**y on a plate and I ate that Forbidden fruit, so my ex girl livin' proof Prayin' that the next girl isn't too Wasted energy, basic memories, who's to blame? Wish the buzz was somethin' you could change If I could I would've never loved you more than this music game But will I ever love again? Took a rapper for granted, found the highest target Shoot your aim Look at what we do for fame Get all we want then do away Well that's human nature, we've been through the pain We move on to others, they move on and do the same And that's the usual, the ugliest people can be so beautiful Suddenly, the beat it doesn't seem so suitable No time for rest as I write the rest of this musical First part, don't let go of the past Now you have their ears, don't let go of their hearts You're Esco with the bars, your friends know that you're hard They want you in the charts, don't let go of the chance Headin' out to shows with no petrol in the car Every second that I let go, I get old, I can't My family don't get why I'm dead broke I'm deffo on my arse I guess that's the tempo of the dance I'm certain of my future like a psychic read a palm Maybe it's the patience that's ringin' red alarms I don't wanna see a skeptic have the last laugh Nearly spent seven years to perfect my every part Thinkin' of my examples and I don't get very far Because not many of them last or achieve What they set out from the start Selling out, dwellin' on what could be I live to prove people wrong because they overlook me I live to see my son smile, father livin' cushty Knowin' that my friends are the only ones that push me The reason I ain't sittin' 'round thinkin' 'bout what could be I pushed and I pushed since the day that I came out the p**y Came out the womb and as soon as I could speak I know where God had put me Came out the womb and as soon as I could speak I know where God had put me [Hook] Only old pals around me, just allow me if you're not Cause these man only wanna be around you when you're hot You wasn't 'round us from the drop, you just found us at the top And now I got these doubters, you can doubt us if you want Because I live to prove wrong Only old pals around me I said I live to prove wrong I don't wanna hear your doubt nah allow me I said I live to prove wrong Don't doubt me if you don't know about me I said I live to prove wrong They won't know what happens 'til they ground me
