Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
They say, go on barricade the way
You can sway me from my plan
Just know that I’m here to stay
(And you should really get used to that)
Before we get started let me explain the premise
Let me write you a prescription you can take to the chemist
Of course we reinforce and endorse the fairness
They careless with the truth cos the truth don’t always suit
But I ain’t chewing on the bone like a new pup
Nor am I a vet that never know when he used up
Close and sharp like a crewcut, see I don't no
Image work look at my work it’s souped up
Let me cut it straight, I couldn’t dress a million bucks
If I tried I ain’t here to peddle lies
I’m just here to peddle until the grip wears off the tires
Now you wonder why I wear a different size (that’s room to move)
I kept it baggy while the world goin skintight
See if I hold it in I’m holding out the insight
And I ain’t hanging round beggin for no invite
Just don’t you ever sideline me
So I say, don’t underestimate me
You don’t know what I could do
And I’m not going away
Don’t sideline me
Don’t sideline me
Don’t sideline me
Don’t sideline me
It’s all about the outcome I’m used to being the one to underrate yep
I’m very comfortable boxing above my weight yep
And I’ve been doing it since the days of the tapedeck
Got a fire inside that I ain’t let escape yet
And I ain’t made yet, but I ain’t made until I’m up in
The grave and until then it’s breakneck
You can relax this Sydney kids a safe bet
Been called a lot but not that I got a fake rep
What came out in the wash is what I stuck to
You pissed at the fact it cut through, *** you
I ain’t stooped to talk down and suck you in
But by the same token I ain’t gonna tuck you in
So keep me at an arms length by all means and
Sanitise the life out like chlorine
But be a good host, come invite this tiger in
Maybe he won’t bite you in
They say, go on barricade the way
You can sway me from my plan
Just know that I’m here to stay
Don’t sideline me
Don’t sideline me
Don’t sideline me
Don’t sideline me
As strong as your hands may be
You cannot hold back what was meant to be
As strong as your hands may be
You cannot hold back what was meant to be
