They Say

From the EP Woke Up by Scottychams

Chorus

They say

They say

Be smart

They say

It’s too hard

They’ll say

Spend your money on a car, at the bar

On anything but the start

Verse 1

Of the journey

Where I’m earning

And learning

I picked the card of the bard

I put my heart in the art

Ask me how I’m going far

Well that’s cause I don’t stop

I’m the one in charge

Of my change

Every way every day

I’m just making music

I got to set up the pace

With some chase before they fade away

And get replaced

Like the words erased from pages

And the payments

Lost in all the phases

Now they faceless

Face it

Getting basic with stress

Cause you live with regrets

And these debts

Then you went and bet everything you had left

So we got unrest

And we’re upset

But we’re not done let’s

Get going who would of known

They used to tell me

Be smart

Yo they used tear me apart

So I departed to go and top these charts

But til I make that far

I’m spliffing, spitting bars

Chorus

They say

They say

Be smart

They say

It’s too hard

They’ll say

Spend your money on a car, at the bar

On anything but the start

They say

They say

Verse 2

Uh

Yeah they talk a lot of shit

Yeah they breaking promises

And then they send the coppers in

To confiscate the contraband

Were toking smoking coughing with

Until we get the call to get

Proper with our politics

It’s looking good but all a trick

Fall in with the congresses

Dominant with that prominence

Talkative but so ominous

And end up with the opposite

I’ll just stay anonymous

I’ll just go pay my homages

I’ll take on all the consequence

And then I’ll play up confidence

Honest with the populace

Hopefully on top of this

Pray you make it on the trip

While I sip and rip and slip

Out of sight out of mind

Spitting these rhymes

Til I’m tired

But I still woke up

Just in time

Chorus

They say

They say

Be smart

They say

It’s too hard

They’ll say

Spend your money on a car, at the bar

On anything but the start

They say

They say

Verse 3

They say

They say I work too hard

That I should take time off

They say you give it your all

But

You’re not involved and

You never calling

You’re alcoholic

And I’m so close to the edge

I think I might fall in

That’s all it is

Putting time to blessings

While I work on my gifts

So we can give to these kids

Who lost hope need a wish

But it’s all a trick

Til you ditch

And get back to mission

Where it fits

But you don’t fit in

First I had a vision

Then I had to switch it

And we went and burned those bridges

Got rid of those problems

I stopped listening

It instantly solved it

Chorus

They say

They say

Be smart

They say

It’s too hard

They’ll say

Spend your money on a car, at the bar

On anything but the start

They say

They say

Outro
