No One Believed

Lyrics

[Intro] A shimmering shape suddenly appears out of thin air - a shape that takes on human form [Verse 1] I freestyled over cassettes without a hesitant guess When suburban Australia hadn't accepted it yet I never was a follower, I read up on philosophers I read books and wrote raps and neither one was popular Pro skater or rapper, people thought that I was stupid They thought I was a clown and too unorganised to do shit A slacker with my studies but inside a straight nerd So all my teachers thought I cheated when I came first And every single person would doubt my ambition With as much hope as breaking out of Alcatraz prison And career advisers were severely bias 'Cause it was clear that I was a punk destined for years of violence The first cut cuts deepest in your upbringing My art perceived as drug dealers or thugs stealing I snuck in underage to bust free's and dump pingers 'Cause for some reason my attitude was unbeaten [Chorus] But my goals and my dreams, they were sort of like a ghost story 'Cause no one believes And my goals and my dreams, they were sort of like a UFO sighting 'Cause no one believes They're like, "yeah yeah" "Okay, alright" "Whatevs" [Verse 2] Miraculously, I found dudes who shared the same head space And like me, they disregarded all the lame templates We got a local buzz from the shows we done I was only young sixteen and on a path to blowing up My little kiddie raps got my friends to interact And most gigs were packed with skate boarders and hippy cats A few thousand from blazing a few stages We made a new album and radio soon played it And I truly believed that my crew would achieve The pursuit of my dreams and were due to succeed But little did I know that the road's long and gets tough Egos soon grow, the love lacks and heads butt We were like big fish in a small pond With some worshipping the ground that we walked on Tall poppy parents couldn't wait to see it to fall off Waiting for the bubble to pop and see it all gone [Chorus] But my goals and my dreams, they were sort of like a ghost story 'Cause no one believes And my goals and my dreams, they were sort of like a UFO sighting 'Cause no one believes They're like, "yeah yeah" "Okay, alright" "Whatevs" [Verse 3] I then felt like everything just went south Kicked out of home, no job, and living on a friends couch My girl at the time, she's sort of my stability But even she changed of what she thought of my abilities More a liability, a fruitless pursuance With usage of booze made me viewed as a nuisance My crew were like a path to a brighter picture But now we try to figure who's right and fight and bicker I nearly died when I had to break up the crew I met those dudes before I had fucking pubes Every thing the haters wanted was becoming true Washed up, broke, defeated, and bad luck ensued So in the end I lost belief in myself With no time to find anything that could help It was time to give it up and put my dreams on the shelf For a voluntary death and to see you in hell [Outro] *Phone buzzing* Hello, Ryan speaking Yes it is Oh hey man, how ya doing? [Can't hear]
