STAY STOIC ft. ThisIsHipHopp Lyrics

Listen

It's The Inglorious Poet

ThisisHipHopp yo

Big dreams

Are nightmares for naysayers

The play-safers

So go against the grain & they'll hate ya

From the days of Space Raiders

Hated the though of paid labour

Trading sacred time to chase paper

That ain't me son

I'm not a sellout

So rather than just get pounds

I'd rather get my head down

And figure out who I really am

Not what society says

Rather be dead, than life a life of regret

And course you'll make mistakes

But fortune favours the brave

So co-ordinate your pace

Force a way to change the course of fate

Ignore the hate

Don't ever let your flow be tourniquet'd

Pour blood, sweat, tears

And years before they're torn away

'Dream On

Like Aerosmith

Get your scheme on & never quit

Live with the passion of a terrorist

Better your chances

Like with a Sherpa up to Everest

Or left head in your hands

Cos without purpose champ you'll never live

I stay stoic

10 toes rooted to earth

People hate to hear the truth cos it hurts

I play poet

Conscious lines shifting the minds

You better wake up soon cos it's time

To seize the day

Dream big, take a leap of faith

Can shirk with the work

When you're trying to carve your piece of cake 'n

As these seasons change

You better wise up

No time for eyes wide shut

Rise up before time's done

My perspective has changed

Wrestled long with the shadow

Donned apparel

Chalked my hands and locked to grapple

And long we battled

Then when hands got chance to strangle

Got in an Ezekiel

Squeezed through & popped his apple

Unlocked the shackles

Shit, free now like Django

But 'I see now' like Kan-yo

That deep down I'm Rambo

I'm born to fight, but all I want is peace

Chill & immortalise my speech

But I stay cornered by the beast

Corruption

The conflict

The killing

The bombing

The lies they show our eyes

Guys the box nobody watch it

Divide & conquer

They wanting full control

Chips & social credit systems

Still nobody knows

Da-da, da-da, da-da

But I stay stoic

It's hopeless to mentally explode

When you can't control it

But just know if

We let this Eco Forum try guide the future

Pretty soon brah

Life will be like a night with Kruger

I stay stoic

10 toes rooted to earth

People hate to hear the truth cos it hurts

I play poet

Conscious lines shifting the minds

You better wake up soon cos it's time

To seize the day

Dream big, take a leap of faith

Can shirk with the work

When you're trying to carve your piece of cake 'n

As these seasons change

You better wise up

No time for eyes wide shut

Rise up before time's done

Rise up before time's done

You better rise before time's done

Rise up before time's done

And always fight for 'the light' son

Inglorious Poet
