Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm only 23 but I feel like i'm older Developed i'm a hunchback from carrying the world on my shoulders In a world full of molders and the land of tony Blair It's hard to BBC my dreams and stay focused And i've always been a loner in the form of a trio The three amigos where me, myself and I, uno mio And ain't nothing changed but my size And in fact i'm on a rise, it's 2005 I'm everybody's friend now, i'm everybody's cousin 'cuz i'm the up & comer, coming up, i see em' coming To eat with the up & comer Sleep with the up & do songs with And try steal heat from the up & comer The only person I trust is my mother from day dot Through all the ups & coming down she supported me She said that ima keep it Pregnant in secret Ignoring all the encouragements to have aborted me Family cursing me forgetting it could have been worse Remember i chose the beats over the streets Kept on telling me to go to university It's all reversed now, now that i'm tipped to do well commercially As for friends? we've moved on and grown up I used to rap with a crew called one, We broke up Now being solo only shows you who your true friends are When you invite them to shows but they don't show up [Chorus] I don't wanna hear the cries no more Find your dream i'm chasing mine Give it all you got n strive for more Life's too short to waste my time And I look up at the sky and all I see; Is I can only rely on me Because at the end of the day i'm still on my own [Verse 2] You mighta seen me standing on the streets, trying to sell my CD's At five pound a pop it was me, X-I-LEM P Back to the studio to make another beat No whip this was all done by feet Then we called up michael merridith to get a good mix He put it on a DAP, i put it on a DISC Then we give it to the DJ's Give dough to put it out I did a little bit of that a little bit of this Life's a bitch, in a relationship with time Sleeping with me on the side And in front of life is death And i'm a young dog trying stay alive i look at life doggystyle Ain't no stoppin me now No lookin back to when I was trapped between religions it wasn't simple Because I feared bending over backwards to get into heaven only to end up in limbo And this is what i'm saying now... [Chorus: x2] I don't wanna hear the cries no more Find your dream i'm chasing mine Give it all you got n strive for more Life's too short to waste my time And I look up at the sky and all I see; Is I can only rely on me Because at the end of the day i'm still on my own Don't need nobody... gonna do it on my own
