ettrick shepherd - scattergood lyrics

[verse 1]
why am i on this earth?
i do this to show why and improve my worth
i won’t lie, i ain’t from the dirt, brought up in the ‘burbs
but in school i got called an annoying little t+rd
despite that i though i could make my social situation work if i could spit a verse
so i did, i persisted with this sh+t
only followed two rules + stay dedicated and never quit
back then i should’ve invested in myself
made songs when i was twelve but i put them on the shelf
facebook was kinda big, insta wasn’t popping
so making songs to market them was not an option
i could’ve got on, i was making songs that’d rock your noggin
but it’s much easier to get on now and that’s common knowledge
i could’ve popped in grade nine or grade ten
but i was spending every minute tryna make friends
i was a kid who didn’t appreciate all the paychecks
now i’m prepared to give more and take less

[chorus]
i’m a scattergood
i don’t give a f+ck about the money if i’m rapping good
did everything that i could
i’m a scattergood
i should give a f+ck and change up my attitude
[verse 2]
lemme say this before i hold my peace
i need dosh in a safe because i’ve got goals to reach and many men who wanna shoulder me
i need more moeny and more time than my competitors
this is my war cry, with work ethic comes foresight
thought i was a slave to earn a hundred and twenty a fortnight
at least i was out there while now i’m just sitting courtside
or perhaps it’s part of my journey, wish there was a tour guide
so i could ensure that i’d be alright
i’m an unemployed mumma’s boy that all the cool f+cks avoid
still i leave every mc that i touch destroyed
i’ve got sk!ll that money could never buy
i’ve got a fire inside me and i am not gonna let it die
i have ocd that i need to get every sentence right
money is used to look alive when you feel dead inside
couldn’t care less about that, i’ve got food and i do exercise
plus spare time to sit at my desk and write
but still…

[chorus]
i’m a scattergood
i don’t give a f+ck about the money if i’m rapping good
did everything that i could
i’m a scattergood
i should give a f+ck and change up my attitude
[verse 3]
i couldn’t have ever predicted this result
had those inspirational quotes in my pigeon hole
just taking every word with a pinch of salt
thinking i could catch a dream but when i do + grip and hold
i seem to keep forgetting the fact
that nothing in my life ever fell in my lap
no wishes were granted and this is no different
stay ferociously focused on motiffs, flow and rhythms
f+ck tomorrow, i’m going for it now
on a vessel hoping i can float toward the crown
i need to move faster, jumping overboard is how
i’m sober + eyes open, i just hope my core is proud
had people taking jabs and throwing swords around
desperate to make it happen so i fought the doubt
manifesting destiny is so important now
cos giving up is something that most have thought about
i was able to get a head start
when i started + no way i was second best, part
of the reason for that was the lack of rappers in my area
we don’t have it like they have it in america
became a c+cky guy cos i bodied every
body who wanted something off me, it probably wasn’t wise
to think that top of my class meant the top of the sky
but our dreams are our guides and i’m following mine
[chorus]
i’m a scattergood
i don’t give a f+ck about the money if i’m rapping good
did everything that i could
i’m a scattergood
i should give a f+ck and change up my attitude
i’m a scattergood
i don’t give a f+ck about the money if i’m rapping good
did everything that i could
i’m a scattergood
i should give a f+ck and change up my attitude
