ettrick shepherd - no luck (intro) lyrics

no luck (intro) lyrics
[verse]
so incomplete did nothing
kept doing me + still not buzzing
tried to make micro waves from what i’ve got in the oven
but when it flopped it led to a lot of self destruction
now when people say that my verses great i’m refusing to trust them
but i pushed through
cos that’s what i’ve always done
and that’s all i’m ever gonna do
if i embrace every time that i collapse
then in my mind i‘m never gonna lose
they say failure’s part of the process
but just how much? shouldn’t mattеr cos i haven’t started to go yet
but it’s likе i’m reaching
my arms have been both stretched
i see single digit numbers next to what i thought were marvellous projects
i’m deserving of more
my self+esteem caught fire and was burnt to the floor
no other calling card that i can be turning towards
so when the music doesn’t pop off you know it hurts to my core
started this album and can’t leave my burdens or dirt at the door
used music to vent and document my personal war
plus all these people wanting me to fail is birthing the thought
that if i lose i’m a loser so i’m determined to score
people ain’t seeing my grind, they don’t see that i live for the beats and the rhymes
it’s been so long do i need to remind that i stuck with it trying to reach for the sky
still there’s nothing i’ve done but i’m up with the sun, i’m a fiend for light
work like i’m under the pump so the numbers will come and the beacon will shine
what’s the point? n0body will catch the internals
still they’ll say that i can’t spit cos my lyrics are bad and it’s hurtful
but still i work on my rhyming sk!lls, it may not serve but i like the thrill
not gonna calm, i’m gonna go hard cos i’m not a nurturing guy who chills
those who know me know that’s not me
resilience and self worth is dodgy
i pin it on what other folks think of me
until the beat is on and i turn c+cky
so there’s no remorse
while i go to war with an overhaul of fears telling i’m dead still like a frozen corpse
there isn’t much that i think that i don’t record
wish i could stay shut out from the rest of the world like the covid ward
i’ll walk this road ‘til my head, shoulders, knees and toes are sore
scream my raps until i’m outta breath and my throat is horse
making no leeway is bad
but what’s worse is the fact i don’t know the cause
looking around and i can’t see anything except unopened doors
still i’m like a sleepwalker with the determination with which i
go towards my dreams even though there’s no support
still i’m waking up
turning in late as f+ck
i work for respect and i haven’t been paid enough
the adversity ain’t something i can
stay above but i’ll be fine, i haven’t been able to trace a
beeline to my dream life and i tell myself that i need time
but can’t get it back or just rewind
i can’t vomit up all that cheap wine
i can’t refund all the moments i spent with women hoping they’d be mine
it got really bad and i’m afraid of it getting worse
but nowadays i’m focusing on my personal goals and they better work
heard that hard work would pay off so i do what i’m told
or maybe i’m just entitled to think i’m due for results
get stuck in a spiral, this is my life and i’ve been losing control
and can’t get it back unless the sh+t that i’m going through is resolved
i’m rising up, awake
out of the shadows to fight another die
the fear of failure’s chasing me and i’m not the type to run away
i wish it was all about the music
i never liked the numbers game
although it’s just a game and those who think that they’re fly will come and play
got things to prove but the image is holding me back
people who have an image have success cos it falls in their lap
i hate the fact that i feel resentment and not joy
when i see other people winning
don’t wanna get drowned out by their noise
as for romance, i won’t ever find it + no chance
never had an affectionate kiss or cute lil slow dance
when i was a little i would think of girls with high hopes and plans
but now i’m older and bitter + everyone knows my stance
i know what women are like, believe me, i’ve watched
they all want someone that doesn’t have all the flaws that i’ve got
so i’ll just wait for the day my repulsive vibe just dies off
i’m a man, i’m supposed to not care but my inside’s soft
maybe it’s a case of women liking me but none love me
i can see, i’m too ugly
such a shame, it’s unlucky
cos it’s like my genes have just f+cked me
see my reflection and cringe
no wonder i ain’t getting the win
no wonder when i try to get girls to like me none of them are settling in
it’s can’t be a toss of the dice
given how often i’ve tried
my efforts flop every time
godd+mn what a surprise
don’t have the knowledge of why
i never wanted my life
my existence wasn’t designed
i’m used to not being the popular type
