Dan Bull - Acknowledge lyrics

That's funky

I am a bit of a difficult hypocritical prick
Who'll always get into a pickle
But the sins I commit
Are all above board this is for
Everyone I've got love for
Who helped me up through the
Window by the shut doors
Pulled strings, untangled the web
And cut cords
And if you didn't assist this, then up yours
My business is to give hit's to kids
That have been amiss from
The industry hit list
This flow's for those who
Were bullied in school
You'll grow to show those tools
That they don't rule
This is for those who are bullies in school
You'll realise you can be nice and fully cool


Some of us look back at
That as the worst days
Others still suffer that exact
Crap in the workplace
From virgins that never had a first date
To unwanted babies that never had a birthday
This is for single moms, working three jobs
To keep your sprog in the
Reeboks that he wants
This rap's for single dads
Fighting to see their kids
Crying, thinking if they even
Understand he exists
Here's some acknowledgement

I've set the controls for the
Heart and the soul
Of those whose woes have hardly been told
Too many hearts of gold
Are treated like pyrite
So, it's high time I tried
To set this bias right
Feeling low? My lines'll leave your
Hopes high as kites
Incite delight like a cherry
Bright sky at night
This vocal's for locals who are
Frightened in their neighbourhood
For the same buggers doing crime
To pay for drugs
It never meant to end this way
You're stuck pain sucks
Change looks like something
That'll never happen
But, if I let that thinking win
I'd never end up rapping
For those in prison
Those who did and those who didn't
The victims that they did it to
And those who witnessed it
For those who overcome their hopeless
Bitterness to show forgiveness
Whether you do or don't is no-one's business
For those who wish to string them
Up until they know their miseries
Life's a winding hillside road and
The slope is slippy
For the people upon the picket lines
Miners who down their pick and strike
Strive for a different life
For the silent majority
Tightening your waistline to prop
Up an economy
You probably hadn't a problem with til
The bottom dropped off of it
But now you're picking up the tab
And haven't got a tip

This is for the elderly
Sitting in their chairs alone
Or bedridden in a bug ridden nursing home
A verse devoted to you, and who you truly are
The same you that you've ever been
I've seen you shoot for the stars
But gravity ravages things savagely
So let my lyrics lift your
Spirit's up from incapacity
Cause, I'm the captain of
This flagship actually
And you're a VIP invited to
Fly the galaxy with me
This is for the carers, looking after another
I understand you want to be
More than just a mother
How can you have a lover, or any other life
If you couldn't find someone else to
Come and grab the cover?
Changing a duvet's much easier with two, hey?
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Sunday, Monday, tuesday
For those stuck at home, chronic illness
Health problems a lot of guilt makes you
Want to kill yourself often
What little help I can offer
To soften the blow?
Can't invent anything off of the
Top of the dome
But, you've not been forgotten and I
Just want you to know
Wherever you are, my flow will boldly go
I swear by the Father, the Son
The Holy Ghost jehovah, Allah, Muhammad
Whoever holds the most
Control over the souls of the unappreciated
It will keep ebbing away every day
That people play this shit

I try to recognise
Those who've been left aside
Come aboard my enterprise, and boldly
I try to recognise
Those who've been left aside
Come aboard my enterprise, and boldly
