Where I've Been

I remember standing in the doorway of two thousand and fifteen
Just an average joe, with some big dreams
Hoping that I would go on to do big things
Ready for the year ahead and everything it could bring

I made promise to myself, that I would build
a better man before you, while I walk out on the field
where I stumbled and tripped, into the jungle of it
Went back to uni and thought it was just a horrible fit

I was back in the classroom, studying my masters
to be teacher, to inspire but after, I started
I was feeling so half hearted
because I knew exactly where my heart was

Rewind to last year
December to be exact
To an email that would tell me to go and pack
My bags in February, it felt extraordinary
To think, that I would be in Japan was kinda scary

Because, I'd be jumping up on stage
Spitting all these writtens that were living on a page
Make a living getting paid
By the people that would say
I would lift them up when they were being pushed into their graves

It was incredible and I could never forget it
To get a taste of a life that I had never expected.
I never knew from the day that I had begun
That my music would fly me to the land of the rising sun, holy smokes

I still can't believe it happened
To think that every moment I invested in my passion
would open up the gates, with the music that I had made
In my bedroom on the nights I would stay up late

I don’t. know.
I just. Had to. leave.
University because I had believed
That it was time for me, to actually
make moves to a life that I have to lead

and so a gradually, worked steady on my craft
just to get to where I’m at, slowly writing out these raps
I got sad and I got mad, frustrated at the fact
that the next song I wrote could well and truly be my last.

I need a break need a break,
You can see it written all over my face
Thought that I should slow down, so I went and got a job
Bill’s kept coming round, and I needed to get paid.

So, I signed the dotted line to the mailroom
in the hopes that my situation go and change soon
I was getting money, I was staying on my grind
But monotony had got me thinking I had lost my mind

Till I found her, she came at the right time
Till I found her, I was feeling slowly left behind
Till I found her, the mountain felt impossible to climb
But she extended out her hand, saying it will all be fine

and so, in October 2015
My first album came out and it felt like a dream
to see, my work up on that CD shelf
to claim that I had an LP under my belt

was crazy! Shout out to Goontrax and Link 6
MonoCreation, RoS we’ve got this!
I've got friends that are talented people
Talented individuals that consider me equal

Had bouts with self doubt, but I've figured it out
I'm facing the situation and I'm turning it round
I was knocked down, and had my face pushed in the ground
And now I'm back up, and I’m ready with my eyes on the crown

because I’m a king in my own mind, own mind
said I’ll make it in own time, own time
In a race against myself, and I’m in it to win
not stopping till conquer every battle within lets go
