(Ben Ridley)

This is for those who give two shits.
I know i can act stupid.
And cos of that fact I know that you scared.
But cos of that fact I know that you care.
For those who give ...
I know I can act ...
I know that you scared ....
I know that you ...


Verse One (Ben Ridley)

I'm doing fine.
I got the ting on my mind and if only I'd.
Get a little more time.
Shit I'm lying.
This aint going how I planned it.
Still trying to juggle my exams and.
dreams. so these bitches think I'm a clown.
I got some cash in accounts.
And if I splash it about.
I'll be that nigga on the campus, how.
Is that smart uh.
I'd backfire uh.
I think I learned every penny counts uh.
Just got another letter from the council.
They been trying to get to me.
This is starting to stress on me.
How did mum and dad get the P.
Can't go calling up them in need.
This (is) a struggle, can't nobody see this.
And so I'm stuck inside the room I sleep in.
Trying to budget but the bills are heaping,
(I) sleep in a jacket, they cut off the heating.

Chorus x2 (Ben Ridley):

Where you going boy, how far, do you think your feet can take you ?
Tyrna take it to the top of the world are you getting to big for your boots ?

Verse Two (Cyrus)

So if you seen what I've seen, through my eyes you'd eyes, you'd be surprised.
Got a brother in the grave but through me, you're alive.
Try and stay humble.
But every time I say I want to get on track they always give a dirty look and mumble.
Lord, I gotta elevate.
And rise above these hell estates.
They hate me but I don't feel them, they must be featherweight.
I pray for better days.
Overcome the obstacles, the ghetto laid.
When will we ever see the ghetto change.
When you're at the bottom people give fake support.
And as you get higher people start hating more.
No opportunity meas breaking in doors.
And with a little bit of fame you'll be raking in whores.
But we aint for girls round here, we're screaming paper chasing.
White guys in private meetings wanna play with satan.
I'm only one voice I'm just saying.
Inspiration and genius, one in the same.
Osirus.


Chorus x2 (Ben Ridley):

Where you going boy, how far, do you think your feet can take you ?
Tyrna take it to the top of the world are you getting to big for your boots ?



Verse Three (Ben Ridley)

See we all got dreams and we all got problems.
(I'm) tryna find a way those dreams can solve 'em.
You have to make a promise.
that you'll never ever stop it.
No matter who tryna block it.
They can't stop our will when.
We put our heart into it, I know it sound cliche but each life is like a movie they filming.
I share mine, share yours.
free a mind, break a door.
Don't sit aside anymore.
find something to live for.
No, it won't be long when you suffer
And if you get the chance, please do help another.
Cos' you are my sister my brother.
Though our surnames aint all the same, I love ya.
I said, won't be long when you suffer.
Please do help another.
You are my sister my brother.
I love ya.

Peace.
