talento urbano music - emancipated lyrics
[verse 1]
now 2017 was a very different time
every night after work find me on the district line
with a bottle of jd, step off the train wavey
to me, back then, that behaviour was fine
tolerance grew higher, i felt the desire
to maintain that feeling, so much pain i was concealing
insecure little boy, knew nothing of self-love
always put myself down, held everyone else above
couldn’t love my reflection, disliked it to be exact
only felt attractive wearing blue contacts
the beauty in other men was all i managed to see
so when i looked in the mirror i wasn’t happy with me
but then i said hold on, bro you got it so wrong
see, all of us are beautiful in very different ways
feelings of liberation because that realization
was enough for me to close the chapter on my drinking days
[chorus]
emanc-p-ted ’cause i learned to love me
no more trying to escape from reality
and every single day i smile ’cause i’m free
to live my life and be me
emanc-p-ted ’cause i learned to love me
no more trying to escape from reality
and every single day i smile ’cause i’m free
to live my life and be me
[verse 2]
whenever i was drinking i’d have a packet of cigs
drank far too much alcohol so my belly got big
6ft and slim with a belly like some oddly misshapen twig
that’s when i turned to green, first tried it at 16
used to smoke heavily, stayed higher than high
block was full of junkies so we had an endless supply
i was higher than a kite, see me there up in the sky
another bad habit, had to ask myself why
had to really sit down and have a talk with myself
find the root of my problems, question my mental health
far too concerned with what people might think or say
to stay intoxicated kept all those worries at bay
riddled with insecurities, self-confidence lacked
looked in the mirror said to myself “bro you’re better than that”
started travelling the world, solitarily too
constantly flying out, so much exploring to do
promoting positivity that’s what i was on
put my occurrences on paper, find it on amazon
glad the money started coming once happiness was achieved
eliminated the concept of wanting to buy weed
humility redundant, confidence in abundance
prioritized myself and that’s how i’ll forever stay
feelings of liberation because that realization
was enough for me to close the chapter on my smoking days
[chorus]
emanc-p-ted ’cause i learned to love me
no more trying to escape from reality
and every single day i smile ’cause i’m free
to live my life and be me
emanc-p-ted ’cause i learned to love me
no more trying to escape from reality
and every single day i smile ’cause i’m free
to live my life and be me
[verse 3]
now it’s 2018 and everything’s looking good
no more feeling like a child, enjoying my manhood
projecting love and kindness keeps my vibration high
an’ you know me i don’t smoke (oh so you drink?) nice try
you’ll never find me writing lyrics tearing down another man
i love men and women, should i not? well i can
i see beauty before gender, age or background
the ultimate maverick, me i’m sticking around
