Stick Around (You'll See What I Mean) (Album Version) Lyrics

Knock knock, it's me again I'm back

I had to get back in it and release myself with rap so it's

Wilko with another flow, well I've been building all my lyrics up so I can do a show

I've been writing these rhymes, for 31 years

But keeping it inside not able to face up to my fears

I've gotta pack it all in tight because I'm in arrears

So now I've got my coat off and I'm moving up through the gears

Time flies by in the blink of an eye

You'll never know if you can do it if you never try

I've wasted too many chances to let this one pass me by

I've been backing them up and packing them up and stacking them all up high

As a mountain top, I'm never gonna stop

I'm pure hip-hopping never stopping body-popping beat dropping

Thinking about my lyrics unlike most of the guys that are chart-topping

Knowing that I'll never know why

You want a slow and steady singer well I'm not one

My rap is quicker than a rapid-fire shotgun

I keep it cooler than a freezing vat of liquid nitrogen with hypothermia even when I'm in the hot sun

I know you wanna find my weakness well I've got none

Just when you think I'm finished you realise I'm not done

I spent a lifetime being told I couldn't make it cos my attitude was bad when my mentality was spot on

Now I'm staking my claim I'm at the top of my game

Imaginary voices didn't make me insane

And so Instead of dodging punishment I'm taking the blame

And if I'm getting into trouble then I'm facing the shame

It's Wilko Wilkes, remember the name

I'm making an impression in the back of your brain

I'm looking at you speaking from the heart when I'm saying

I know that me and every one of you we're one and the same because

Time flies by and we'll never know why

If you need me you know where I'll be

I'll be at the mountaintop cos I'm never gonna stop

Stick around and you'll see what I mean

Well it was killing me having to sit back and watch it from outside in the cold

And dreaming of the feeling when you're breaking the mould

I've gotta cap it off and wrap it so it doesn't unfold

And keep the daylight shining through into the back of my soul

Something's coming to me pumping energy right through me

Giving me a thrill I can't sit still or do what I'm told

If I remembered about my lessons and they're answering all my questions then I'm building up my essence and I'm staying in control

Well do you defend

Or do you attack

Whichever way you go you know you're never coming back

You're going to new areas I know it feels precarious and even if it's solid you'll be finding the cracks

So you can do what you want

And do it for you don't bother listening to people when they don't have a clue

You've gotta put some time aside for finding the truth

Or might never get the chance to do what you wanna to do because

Time flies by and we'll never know why

If you need me you know where I'll be

I'll be at the mountaintop cos I'm never gonna stop

Stick around and you'll see what I mean

So when you hear me rap again you're gonna pump it

And spread it thicker than the butter on a crumpet

And then I'll leave you with a little bit of trumpet
