ettrick shepherd - my purpose lyrics

[verse 1]
since i started it’s been a long road
with this art, i put it on show
perhaps i took the wrong road
attained hate for my raps, i still stayed strong though
rewind to a time where it was all i had
whenever i found myself falling back
it’s just such an amazing thing
i ain’t doing it for the chains and blings
the therapy of it is what i’m in it for
it was young love and i did it more
began memorising verses i idolised
wanted to thrive, this was grade five
i was twelve when i first go on the mic
and i ain’t never felt so alive
now you know from where i got the drive
i won’t stop until i’m in the skies

[hook]
ever since a youngen i just couldn’t do sh-t
never had anything except rap and music
so when i don’t have a pen and pad in my hand i feel utterly useless
ever since a youngen i just couldn’t do sh-t
never had anything except rap and music
so when i don’t have a pen and pad in my hand i feel utterly useless

[verse 2]
here i am again, did you miss me?
still on my grind like i’m 50
trying to arrive at this dream
i’ma get there thought that ain’t the way it seems
do it on my own, no team
i’m just doing it to let off steam
clear and level-headed
no chemicals, i stay clean
every hater is a liar
and once i stopped caring about their opinions they seized fire
they’re annoyed that i worked hard every day
the white flag isn’t ever getting waved
the matt was rolled out for defeat
a white dude with a lisp trine be street
my aspirations are insane
but i got the vision imprinted in my brain

[verse 3]
some people think that i’ve already wrecked
but i haven’t even unleashed the full beast yet
what am i gonna do next? take a guess
pick up this pen cos it’s all i have left
climbing the ranks, man, i’m gonna be the best
f-ck being cut-throat, i’m here to snap necks
the pain is fuel and i’ve come to hurl kegs
these lines are nuclear and my mouth is a jet
tryna make the most of being cursed with a hex
so i’m jotting down rhymes from my birth to my death
i’ma be the rex one day so make way
if you think you’re accelerating we ain’t the same grade
winning is my upmost desire
these words are like bullets, i just load and fire
you swerve when i pull the trigger but you can’t dodge the bullet so face the music cos i ain’t no quitter
the terrorist of rap
say we’re friends and i’ll snap
get your neck, bend it back
do it again and it snaps
going ape sh-t ’til the day i make it
spit acidic, i told you the flow is never basic
other rappers in the picture gonna get erased quick
either that or when i get fired up they gon’ rage quit
i make songs for me and people rate it
i give it a 10 and the haters f-cking hate it
it ain’t an ego, i prefer to call it confidence
cos i ignore most of the sh-t that ain’t a compliment
i’m tryna put you into a state of astonishment
going hard and don’t pretend that you haven’t longed for it
understand that i ain’t the villain
see the roof of my mouth? i’ma raise the ceiling’
f-ck other mcs, i’ma raze and k!ll ‘em
wounds so severe penicillin couldn’t heal ‘em
