Verse 1
(A minor) Sometimes I look down,
sometimes I look up.
Sometimes I look down,
sometimes I look up.
Oi, that's it.
Oi, oi. I'm a fake.
I don't live the streets.
(E major) But there's only so many hours
in the day
and I use them to make beats.
Oi. (A minor) In the studio,
immersed in, rehears (B flat major) ing
My technique, (E major) I live loops,
sleep snares and breathe beats
Then, (A minor) sieve through, keep the best there,
and only leave to eat
(E major) Shut the door,
pen and re -record the vocal just once more
(A minor) And now you know why these walls
are the only walls I (B flat major) ever saw
Call (E major) me the quick -draw McGraw Show,
but on Logic Audio
Oi, kinda like (A minor) a street score
Though, not the genuine article
More (E minor) facts packed in
a soundtrack to the acting
In (A minor) a film, and I'm the lead
Believe me in the tragedy scene,
a tear ran (E minor) down my cheek,
so cue the fairy tale finale
Listen (D major) to the dialogue, but not too deep,
soak up (E minor) the feeling,
but don't quote me please
Incidentally,
(A minor) don't (D major) worry about continuity,
the person we hired (A minor) to do
that was relieved (E minor) of their duties
Also, in the first (D major) scene,
my jeans are green,
but then they change
mysteriously (A minor) to cream
Again, (E minor) bad continuity,
but I still mean what I (A minor) mean
I wear Nike a lot, my hoodie's a tight shot
(E major) But does my life sound as interesting
as a fight in a chip shop?
I think (A minor) not, the hype's not to be believed
I (B flat major) ain't the archetypal (E major) street geez,
but I am right on being a beat junkie
(A minor) I gave up the fight for an easy life
a long time ago
When (E major) the last bird donned me,
by me get one studio free
I use words for effect to illustrate passion
The themes ring fact
and specifics are usually fiction
Oi, oi, I probably couldn't tell you
half what has it come to this means
I was simply setting a scene of concrete,
not (A minor) sky and green trees
I still hold the same hundred
feet high dreams
(E major) But a lot of things scare me,
though I think I read somewhere recently
(A minor) that fear is a useless feeling
Because I can't run to
(E major) where I'm heading
without running from where I was
It's all because
(A minor) Where I'm from is not the issue
This is my imagination
(E major) I don't sing the blues or feel fever
Which by defini (A minor) tion ain't
spoken truth either
It floats around (B flat major) places
I've (E major) never even been to
So, don't lean toward the door at four
(A minor) Just as the dance floor gets raw
Some of the things this tour makes out (E minor)
I done been or did
Wasn't me, I weren't the one, I only (A minor) seen it
I was always too zoned out
on drum machine shit
To worry about the (E minor) day -to -day
out in the dosh pit
Oi, oi, flip the 12 -inch
This (D major) is the original mix
Called, may (E minor) be my sarcastic brick
twist dunting will be my downfall
Wait, (C major) suddenly (A minor) I'm defined
by my (D major) lyrical
So I apologise for (A minor) being
so self (E minor) -obsessed
on these tuners
Let's get back to (D major) the story
Soon as, the streets, the score
Tell (A minor) me what you (E minor) think it is
Cos I don't know anymore (A minor)
(E major)
(A minor) (B flat major) (E major)
(A minor) (B flat major) (E major)
You
(A minor)
