About the song
i was bored. i wanted to wait till my vocal booth is done. but then again i just couldnt wait... so yeah and enjoy
Lyrics
im from a rich country-but my folks cant feed me,
not the kinda one you see on discovery tv,
not really that poor-definitely not wealthy,
i may appear normal-dude, but you cant touch me!
for 21 years i lived my life breathless,
cheers to victory-though mine's is tasteless,
with each words in each verse-speaks sadness,
thought you had it figured out-im just scratchin the surface,
kinda funny how we practisin polygamy,
voices in the air 'why cant he just love me?'
and i feel stupid-eventhough these questions kill,
if it ever leaked, my fate is sealed,
theres no freedom of speech-im just keepin it real,
like my dad at the end of each month facin the bills,
like my mom-when insecurity kicks in,
and whenever sh*** happens-im the only one complainin~
so i pile them up one by one put it in a verse,
from my heart to the paper-traded blood for words,
and im only saying that because-im hating life,
for whatever sh*** it gave me-i give it back with a knife,
so there i was-standin-motionless,
shoulders locked to the elbow-when emotion bursts,
i'd be lying if i told you i was strong enough,
have you ever wondered why i resort to drugs?
thats why i keep my head low-cos the fam is f***ed,
and i keep my eyes closed-i couldnt bear to watch,
knowin-everythin i stood for-stands on edge,
its like-im a wild animal trapped in a cage,
lookin for the exit like im lost in a maze,
and they put me off the stage-cos i shock and amaze,
read it and weap suckas-im bringin the heat,
and this is what you get when you keep sending the beefs,
and so i thrive as a rapper at the cost of self,
and why you gotta ask me why-its common sense,
i've crossed it-an incredible threshold to a dead end,
stirred a lyrical nonsense and get it to breakdance,
see i conquered my life with deception and treason,
the whole system is a lie that's interceptin your reasons,
its an eye for an eye world-get what im sayin?
i put my life on the line so you can stay out of prison,
cos where im from-you cannot speak your mind,
and kickin doors open is 'way out of line',
and status has always contributed corruption,
it goes way back-like as if its some kinda tradition,
kinda sad to see how we the cause of our downfalls,
you witnessin the storm-we caught in its downpour,
while you sit there-lying on your couch critisizin,
walk the walk partner, you call yourselves bruneians?
steady on the ink now-im ready to burn,
let my voice lead the way-now get ready to turn,
and why you askin for an americanised brunei?
when we already have our very own fourth of july...
not the kinda one you see on discovery tv,
not really that poor-definitely not wealthy,
i may appear normal-dude, but you cant touch me!
for 21 years i lived my life breathless,
cheers to victory-though mine's is tasteless,
with each words in each verse-speaks sadness,
