Show Dem Camp - No White Flags lyrics

Grinding everyday
You’re the shoulder you can lean on
(Superman) you do your stunts yourself
Oh the script is still yours
From the concrete grew a rose
Now your story will be told (no pressure)

Drawn to comparisons to give
Definitions of life
To drop the dream and chase the trees
Cause you were never right
Overactive respirations escaping lacerations
I mean they say the flesh is
Weak so curb your aspirations
But whats the use if the outcome
Doesn’t match what you bought
Into through the motions
Cause you learning what some people taught
All aboard missing the train like
You’ve been losing thought
Trying to find the right direction
When you’re really lost
Yes yes homie yes yes
Cause leaving it to chance is
Something easier less stress
To cope with the demands given
By media's best dressed
Self doubting in excess
You nothing girl nobody heres impressed nah
Na na na, i take it as it come
In tsunamis and large drama
Even a believer believes that some forces try
You to hinder connections with your creator
Leave you aloof and just jaded
Understatement

Back against the wall and shht
Back against the wall and shht (You did it)
Kicking through the doors with faith
Kicking through the doors with faith
(You did it)
Fighting through no white flags in the air
Fighting through no white flags
You did it alone you did it alone

And I wouldn't change a thang
Young boy you go learn today
Better have lead in ya vertebrae
Cause the game's the game
Never compromise my bar code
Got a nigga felling like Marlow
Nigga my names my name
So put some respeck on that G
For organic growth gotta plant seeds
If it bangs it bangs
Long as I give it all that I got
Pass the rock mehn i'm shooting my shot
Its ironic how I crave peace of mind
Alive but with my soul at rest
Yet it's chasing these dreams
That got me sleeping less
These bags under my eyes suggest I need a bed
But this addiction to beat slaughter
Just can't be repressed
Ever since mom bought me my first BMX
I've been a rider like Jax Teller
The son of Ayeni just an African rap terror
Doing wheelies down these Lasgidi streets
Causing mad tremors all in a quest for
The creative man's treasure
To make a mark with my art
Would rather these double entendres
Be left out of my ark
If it meant I'd touch a bountiful of hearts
And thats how a rose grows from gravel
Even though it was fragile
His soul broke from the shackles
And never rolled with the cattle
He let his mind travel now
When he's roaming it's astral
The road was rocky but he'd
Never throw in the towel
Back against the wall and shht
Back against the wall and shht (You did it)
Kicking through the doors with faith
Kicking through the doors with faith
(You did it)
Fighting through no white flags in the air
Fighting through no white flags
You did it alone you did it alone

God engineering, special design
Bench press flows time to incline
Inclined to reason self as divine
Cos even with Palmwine as the sound
We more refined, than them
Let that sink into your palette
Weaving special tapestry with aso-oke fabric
That means it’s heavy
Like the head that wears the crown
And like that fake Hennessy
They ask us water down the sound
Na lie, Instead we buckle up for war
The outliers spitting fire burning
Down the store my girl told me wale you
Guys need to package more
Marketing and skin color separate
Shango from Thor a lot of nuance in between
While I’m in bed thinking
How I found myself a queen
A lot of fans approach me
Say I’m living out their dreams
And the futures looking brighter
Like Dencia's up on the screen, my guy!
Back against the wall and shht
Kicking through the doors with faith
Fighting through no white flags
You did it alone
