Upside Down Lyrics

Now let me tell a story that's all about how

I keep letting everything turn upside down

Knocked back like that but I come back round

And I'd like to take a minute just to kick it right now

It's just a couple minutes of your time

For me it's nearly every single second of my life

Yeah yeah, just a couple minutes of your time

For me it's nearly every single second of my life

I don't know what I'm expecting

Getting on this train to ride away to somewhere next and

Out my comfort, zone although I'll do it for my bro

You better know I learnt my lesson

Soaking up the sunny day, a catalyst for runaway

Thoughts, and it's unfortunate for sure cuz I didn't know where I was heading, look

I had to let it sit, it's like my second trip

Should be calm I guess

Fuck me, should've second guessed my guess a bit

Who'd a thunk it? Weird vibes and to the point that I was drinking

But my body wasn't drunk yet

Went there for my day one, on day one

Re-eavaluating where I sit upon this table, where I came from?

Yeah sentences from a pair of classic white feminists

I cannot say for definite but felt like an affront towards my melanin

Should tell em then I got a couple books that I would recommend

Now let me tell a story that's all about how

I keep letting everything turn upside down

Knocked back like that but I come back round

And I'd like to take a minute just to kick it right now

It's just a couple minutes of your time

For me it's nearly every single second of my life

Yeah yeah, just a couple minutes of your time

For me it's nearly every single second of my life

Shout to Ruby Hamad

Put me onto white women doing up scars

Weaponising every tear through gratuitous chants

And I really hate to say it, but the truth man it's harsh

Wonder why I'd ever leave the London life again

For these bubbles full of trouble and succumb to fire, brim

Stone, I'm going home where it's been known the world exists

Beyond the culture that's involved with all the ones with whiter skin

Tone, I know I've said this shit befo' but lo' behold

It's been a well enlightened trip

You won't find me there again

And if you do then realise that I've decided I'll no longer bite my tongue

When you decide to speak the lies that do reside upon your lips

And to be real, I've been sizing up my friends

Who act performative as fuck, but do not get

The type of life that I would live

And how their words and what they do would have a sizeable effect

Got no time for any of that type of shit

Now let me tell a story that's all about how

I keep letting everything turn upside down

Knocked back like that but I come back round

And I'd like to take a minute just to kick it right now

It's just a couple minutes of your time

For me it's nearly every single second of my life

Yeah yeah, just a couple minutes of your time

For me it's nearly every single second of my...

Life...

Funny how when I get back to my ends

I feel like me I'm attractive again

They lied to our faces made us feel like we're not like them and we ain't

Had us trapped in our lack of faith and upset

Don't believe that shit

Nah brother don't need that shit

It's not that deep 'til they realise that we had to live and breathe and bleed that shit

When it's "Here we go again" they can keep that shit

Cuz the route we took, can't see that shit

Yeah, there's no act or pretend

Part of a league of immaculate men

Who had to attack, no one backing them

No one's backing us, with their backs to us

Never cut no slack, always acting sus

So we ride out different

Living life now different

We're a vibe now, different

That word don't like it, victim

Too much power to the white man, pick then

What you gonna do instead?

Me, I went in the booth instead

Could've wallowed and cried like I did back then

But I built my looks, took care of myself

And I went in pursuit of the truth instead

Peaceful? Nah, what I choose instead

Went to the club got drunk with a bottle of Bub like Fif

Set fire to the roof instead

Yeah, best believe I'm on smoke

Fuck your feelings I really do hope

You hear this shit all day, everyday in the back of your brain

In the club, when the car go past, everybody's like ayyy

Your voice drowned out by the beat and the baassss

A fraction, yeah, hope you like that...

Taste...(yeah...)

Best believe I'm on smoke

Fuck your feelings I really do hope

You hear this shit all day, everyday in the back of your brain

In the club, when the car go past, everybody's like ay

Voice drowned out by the beat and the bass

A fraction, yeah, hope you like that fucking...

Taste..

Dickhead...
