The Negativity

I was born a, fortunate guy with a portion of pie Not silver spoon fed just a shiny fork and a knife I've been awkward and shy nearly all of my life But something about rap gave me all my pride Started performing at nights - I was awful on mics But you gotta start somewhere, I was in awe of the guys Who could tear it up with a freestyle and talk to the minds Till one day the sickest one of em, pulled me aside Took my number said we should hook up and mek beats "Experimentality" was too long so he named me "ExP" And that stuck, he taught me how to rap good Then we'd head out of Bradford and get mashed up Years later best friend became enemy But there's no use in just cultivating a negative memory Cos I still use the energy in every free I ever speak And if he ever gets to see this track I wrote this specially to Clear my head of the negativity Living's been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery But life's too short for that Cos one day we'll be dying and we'll want it all back Clear my head of the negativity Living's been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery But life's too short for that Cos one day we'll be dying and we'll want it all back Now we've got to keep productive, like I'm a factory The fact of the matter is - I've lost my batteries I need a positive connection to jump up And kick the negative vibes and stop with this dumb luck Possibly one option would be cracking a smirk Not a smile until I find myself residing from work Free from the jerks tryna climb the corporate mountain Monkeys in suits stood shouting, well I'm out then Make my own fate, food for my own plate Make a few moves in exchange at my own rate Going straight for my goals cos this gold ain't Going to grow straight from the ground like some old grape I'm going out to find my soul mate and be loved And if you want to join in then feel free to feel good I'm thinking we should go down in history For trying to stop the negative vibes I feel killing me (so) Clear your head of the negativity Living's been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery But life's too short for that Cos one day we'll be dying and we'll want it all back Clear your head of the negativity Living's been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery But life's too short for that Cos one day you'll be dying and you'll want it all back We gotta keep positive and lets be honest it's Easier said than done, that much is obvious And it's a fact, all of us face the mill Where you'd like to pay the bills but you're tryna make a million You might hate your boss - you're inclined to kill him Despite this in your mind it's fulfilling To smile for a little while and chill then Take a deeper breath in your lungs till you've filled them And relax Feel the stress leaving you It really helps to clear your head when it's getting full And right now mine's clouded by the break up Though I'm still bouncing round to great drums, safe love After time you'll realise you it was proper blast And just be grateful of what you had and what you'll have And though you're hurting now - I'll guarantee All you need to do to improve your mentality (is) Clear your head of the negativity Living's been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery But life's too short for that Cos one day we'll be dying and we'll want it all back Clear your head of the negativity Living's been filling my head with hate since the date of my delivery But life's too short for that Cos one day you'll be dying and you'll want it all back
