Man on the Moon
Cuz some kids are gunna hate me
although I read one from a kid who was in his teens how he
Hated life and he didn't have shit to be
He couldn't take it, he hated this place
And he was gonna kill himself but didn't because of me
Yeah I ain't a saint and I ain't perfect
But posts like that make the hate worth it
People say the fame hurts iv'e changed
All I've done is grown up you're still looking at the same person
If my views can re-arrange your beliefs
If my songs can be saving a teen
And my words go and change how you think
Then I'mma make them believe in chasing their dreams
You see that rock, imma land on it soon
And be the motherfucken man on the moon
keep my head above the ground, I know the time is only now
And we can part the clouds and pave the path that
No one else has ever run
And I know it's time to ride the moon and chase the sun
And we can part the clouds and make our way
So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a lie
Yeah making music is nothing like working a job
People think I ain't deserve this spot
Being real yo I know that I deserve it because
I work my ass off
So I feel I've earnt, what I've got
See me battle different rappers always serve 'em a lot
Try to clown, bring 'em down, taking personal shots
Then a certain response made me understand
When I said faggot really how hurtful it was
I didn't mean to offend at all
But those stabs I won't have in my vocab' any more
I ain't standing here defending myself
Just to gain new fans, i'm trying to better myself
I'm trying to better the world, I rap to get my point across
Use to be the dude, you'd avoid a lot
Now I'm making a living out of my voice
Staring at the stars and the moon and playing join the dots
with my head, above the ground I know the time is only now
And we can part the clouds and pave the path that
No one else has ever run
And I know it's time to ride the moon and chase the sun
And we can part the clouds and make our way
So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a lie
Keep my head above the ground
I know the time is already now
We can part the clouds and make our way
So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a lie
Hey yo I never just thought
That I'd be anything more
Then a shitty rapper filling out a centrelink form
On a level I thought I couldn't ever be on
Addicted to natural highs like when I perform
Got out the hole that they buried me in
Go sober more grateful now then anyone is
I Wouldn't change any of this if I could have whatever I wish
Cuz now I'm stronger than I ever have been
I don't wanna preach but the message is this
The past happened if it's sucks just accept that it did
The past is all mental, in your head it exists
So live in the present and then it won't affect you a bit
channel all my energy to capture the mood
Tatted keep evolving and naturally grew
see that rock in the sky, I'mma land on it soon
And be the motherfucken man on the moon
Keep my head above the ground
I know the time is only now
Then we can part the clouds and pave the path that no-one else has ever run
And I know it's time to ride the moon and chase the sun
We can part the clouds and make our way
So tell me what you want but I don't wanna live a live
But I don't wanna live a lie
But I don't wanna live a lie
No I don't wanna live a lie
