Lyrics

I stay hidden cos my hidey hole holds my whole hope/

... Everything under one roof, I don't go/

Out, poking my nose in a globe I can't control/

I'm never satisfied when I'm too far from home/

But, if you don't challenge your boundaries then you're bound to be/

Floundering round 'till you drown in the ground you seem/

So attached to defend/

No good asking if Ben/

Will make a lasting attempt/

To write a rap without friends/

Cos I need the support, if I'm conceiving a thought/

Need people to agree with it before I even record/

I got noooooo self esteem anymore/

And as I withdraw from society, it's weakening more/

Cos basically I'm an ego maniac who thrives on feedback/

Forget that, but remember every time someone called me crap/

A tree sap of a 6ft3 chap/

Who needs enemies with inner monologues like we have?//

Nobody, that's who, I'm unremarkable/

My generation, that's Who, I'm unremarkable/

Got a few tattoos, I'm unremarkable/

Did ok at school, I'm unremarkable//

(Gotta do a second verse)... I forgot how to write 'em/

So used to doing one verse and hoping to God it's inspiring/

And nine times out of ten it's probably not/

Even this might end up deleted from my desktop/

I hate being in the same place when people play my music/

Make sense of that, I know I was born to do this/

But you play my new ish with me in the room/

And I'll either cringe, turn it off, or leave 'till you do/

Happy for people to play it though, fill your boots/

I'm proud enough of the sound of it, I mainly cringe at you/

Cos I'm expecting you to take it in but know that you can't/

For example I wrote this track at 1 AM in the dark/

And changed this word and that word and made sure it fitted/

And the first time you play it, all that work's done in minutes/

And you can judge it like a piece of art/

Up to you if it leaves a mark/

And that's why I love it when people start/

With that whole "rap is too fast for me" malarkey/

"I don't mind the music but only partly/

The guy saying words kinda ruined the party"/

And we turn up to headline they say, "who are we?"//

... Well, kinda did and didn't/

In middle school my folks thought not enough shits were given/

So I'd do work set for me to up my level/

It gave the impression I was more intelligent than the rebels/

But a little home schooling only takes you so far/

And I paid attention less cos I thought I was smart/

...And people caught up while I slowed right down/

Thought I'd regret it but I don't right now/

A degree gets you nothing but debt/

Debt gets you nothing but vexed/

Being vexed gets you nothing but stressed/

Being stressed gets you nothing but death/

And I love living: it's the best, there's not enough of it left/

But I've bin wallowing a few years with family issues/

Coulda done an album tryna make you grab your tissues/

But I'd rather stay upbeat, with my usual grin/

And make people say, "ExP!... I don't know who that is"//
