Let's Be Honest Lyrics

I used to play dead, so that they wouldn't see,

I used to stay there, 'till the threat would leave,

And if I stayed there, who knows where I would be,

And now I stay blessed, every step as I breathe…

I used to play dead, so that they wouldn't see,

I used to stay there, 'till the threat would leave,

And if I stayed there, who knows where I would be,

And now I stay blessed, every step as I breathe…

Am I really gonna break the mould?

Will I ever forget - what I been told?

6 years old, this evolved,

Little boy, with an important role,

He blocked the noise at the waterin' hole,

Put a stop to the bullshit his cortisol,

Went drop,

Stood tall and just said what?

That's me…

I beat defeat like a gentleman,

I keep the people's adrenaline,

Up, like a life of betterment,

Fuck, the guy's with venom an,

A, mind, fed, with the sentiment,

That 'cos, I wanna be better than,

I was, they just don't get it,

They stare, but I don't sweat it…

Ain't chasin' no more approval,

I'm swift and set with removal,

Of those who find it unusual,

To open up on what's futile…

So I'll say the truth, no matter how hard it is for me,

Letting go ain't easy, but sometimes it's just what you need,

If I don't take control when I can, it gets harder to breathe,

I've lived that groundhog life, and I've lost plenty sleep,

When you start to dig, that hole only gets deeper,

So get the ball rollin', that way you can keep up…

I used to play dead, so that they wouldn't see,

I used to stay there, 'till the threat would leave,

And if I stayed there, who knows where I would be,

And now I stay blessed, every step as I breathe…

I used to play dead, so that they wouldn't see,

I used to stay there, 'till the threat would leave,

And if I stayed there, who knows where I would be,

And now I stay blessed, every step as I breathe…

Accepting pain that I've felt,

And all the cards I been dealt,

Ain't feel good right at the start,

But in the long run it helped,

I try to, push and evolve 'cos I get stuck in a hole,

Real quick, movin' resolves,

Your future, you put on hold,

Medicine is leavin' the past behind, to stop loopin' it all,

'Cos, when I win, I gotta tell myself, I'm not losin' at all,

It's like a civil war with soldiers behind enemy walls,

It's shock and awe from not knowing who the enemy was,

Yeah I went from blaze up, to work, and save up,

And bullshit came up, but I never gave up,

Burnt bridges to old ways, said see ya' later,

But I never did, that was the price to trade up…

I used to play dead, so that they wouldn't see,

I used to stay there, 'till the threat would leave,

And if I stayed there, who knows where I would be,

And now I stay blessed, every step as I breathe,

I used to play dead, so that they wouldn't see,

I used to stay there, 'till the threat would leave,

And if I stayed there, who knows where I would be,

And now I stay blessed, every step as I breathe…
