I'm Performing Live Lyrics

I'm performing live, I'm performing live

In March April May in 2025

UK and Ireland it'll be incredible

Improv comedy hip hop spectacle

The tour will be going up to Aberdeen

To the Brighton Forge and in between

It could earn money and be fairly fruitful

But I wish I could earn my parents' approval

Southend and Liverpool will be great

As well as the Northampton Royal and Derngate

I'll be in Birmingham where I'll be rad

But I'll never be validated by mum and dad

Stockton, Swindon, Salford, Canterbury

Cambridge, Cardiff, Dublin Academy

G Live in Guildford's where I'll deploy vocabulary

But this G lives to disappoint his family

…rapping's not a real job, that's what they say

Edinburgh and Leeds will be fun to play

And the Belfast Limelight will be proper

My brother's in the limelight - he's a doctor

Bristol, Newcastle, Sheffield, London

Stafford Glasgow Nottingham - they'll be jumpin'

It'll be the best to rhyme in Norwich

My parents tell their friends that I'm adopted

Seeking affirmation from my parents isn't crazy

It's inexorably connected to my sense of inner safety

If I don't fulfil their dreams with my professional behaviour

I'm demonstrably an idiot a loser and a failure

These value structures mean I fear abandonment

My sister's a lawyer and I was an accident

I scream and I cry and I beg and lament

And I'll also be performing in Stoke-on-Trent
