Messiah Complex ft. Lowkey Lyrics

70 years ago you wouldn't necessarily know

What the fuck is going on in the Middle East, you wouldn't know

If you've got that much information

And that much bad and sad and sorrow all around the world

That you have at the end of your finger tips

How are you supposed to live a happy, unscathed life

I try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

Try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

Imagine life if I just cared about myself

Only cared if I could sell

I'd probably have a fair amount of wealth

And significantly less stress

But that ain't me

Just hope they listen when I express

Look, I've never been the best dressed

Fuck drip, focused on the next step

Gotta get this bar off my chest

Guess it's bench press

With all this cortisol

God could've caught a soul

Humans weren't designed for all this stress yet

It's all we know

Full of advice that I should take too

Gotta live my life, there ain't a take 2

I should be doing more but I need cake too

Could've took the safe route

Still want that apartment with the bay view

Trying to find a balance

Between my happiness and the planet

Trust, if I can make it happen I will

My mind is manic and still

I could never not care

Know I can do better

Even though I'm not there

Always try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

Try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

I ain't perfect look I'm far from it

I've just had enough of always acting like we aren't bothered

Harsh topics everyday leave your heart rotten

I just couldn't bear to never chase what my heart wanted

Been some years and though we're yet to see a move that left a mark

Or make a large profit

Or make it chart topping

I'm making music, not for groupies though, this fame is a drug

I've seen so many lose their way and leave their face in the dust

Overthinking as I'm rolling up

I'm old enough to know my age is a plus

So many lost and never got to see this life as a gift

That's why I'm skiving these shifts that couldn't pay me enough

See, since a young'un I've been honing my craft

And I ain't ever letting go it's like I'm 50 and his trolling of Ja

Been broken apart

Older now I'm opiate-calm

Some people always trying to prove that their cojones are large

I try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

Try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

In this journey of life, twists and turns

I see turbulent times as gifts to learn

I see murderous minds like Mr Burns

I see verbalists grind but miss their turn

Still searching to find their wings to earn

The ill serve as a sign the system hurts

We spill words on the lines, it's literature

If mills circle your mind, it's this you yearn

Broken silence

There's no denying we got flaws

Some wanna hurt others, some are trying to stop wars

Some sell weapons that kill, some mop floors

Some live a horror film, some are eating popcorn

Met those that see farthest

Set goals, meet targets

Vexed souls seen carnage

Kept so clean hearted

Success, such stress

Right for me to fear that

All I know, Brotherhood inspired me from years back

I try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

Try my best

I ain't perfect

Although I'm blessed

The wicked never do so

How can I rest

It's not easy living with this constant feeling in my chest

I ain't perfect

I ain't perfect

I ain't perfect

Hoo ooh
