ettrick shepherd – workin’ progress lyrics
[chorus]
i’m livin’ a life where i don’t really know what i’m doin’
feels like i’m livin’ a lie, i don’t know what i’m pursuin’
with minimal sight
to the distant future, i need a guide
to help me to reach inside
and hopefully one day see the light
[verse 1]
so indulged with this lyrical sh-t
was never really a traditional kid
tried to remove my spiritual lid
knew that i had so much spirit to give
this is rap and freedom of speech is it
ironic i’m imprisoned in it?
or am i more limited by the fact
that no one will listen to it
all i wanna do is create a name
all i want is people to play my tape
i wanna be the hero who saves the day
ain’t no god that’s gonna pave the way
not finished yet, got far more lessons
to learn and far more mistakes to make
i’m a working progress, a project in the works
and i’ll keep on doing what makes me great
[chorus]
i’m livin’ a life where i don’t really know what i’m doin’
feels like i’m livin’ a lie, i don’t know what i’m pursuin’
with minimal sight
to the distant future, i need a guide
to help me to reach inside
and hopefully one day see the light
[verse 2]
i used to be the one to run alone
going full pelt up this bumpy road
starving for something to live for and
music is soul food, i’m hungry, yo
haunted and possessed by this anger, no doubt
will i end up on stage ranting it out?
will i ever end up slamming a crowd?
or in an office planning a town?
feels like i ended up missing my teens
but f-ck weed, parties and fl!cking a bean
cos this is the scene, this is the aim
this is the goal, this is the dream
while everyone was having benders and raves
i was home putting my pen to a page
i may not be in the picture now but
i’d do anything to enter the frame
[chorus]
i’m livin’ a life where i don’t really know what i’m doin’
feels like i’m livin’ a lie, i don’t know what i’m pursuin’
with minimal sight
to the distant future, i need a guide
to help me to reach inside
and hopefully one day see the light
[verse 3]
i don’t want a regular job right?
wanna be the one to live in the spotlight
but i’m just another mc
and the odds seem stacked against me
i’m sick of being lectured about my future
it’s where you end up, not how you manoeuvre
so i’ma make like 2pac
and do nothing but shoot hard like a bazooka
[outro]
this is my gift since i’m stuck with it
i guess i’ve kinda fallen in love with it
i just d-mn i have luck with it
and the day i die is when i’m done with it
this is my gift since i’m stuck with it
i guess i’ve kinda fallen in love with it
i just d-mn i have luck with it
and the day i die is when i’m done with it
