Dear Marshall - TGH Original

Money cannot buy/

all the love that's here tonight/

all the love that's here tonight/

ouh-ouh/

It's just you and I/

so lift your hands toward the sky/

lift your hands toward the sky/

ouh-ouh/

 

It seems like it was just yesterday I was unknown/

put in a place where everybody was just made out of stone/

except I realised your tracks were a solution/

every single written rap - you became my one and only inspiration/

day after day it was getting rough - I can relate to your songs/

especially when the times are described as tough/

been trying to run from thousands of night terrors as I'm walking/

turning so many corners with no supporters - just errors/

I'm the main one they wanna be mocking and breaking/

they're taking every bit of happiness as I hear "She won't make it"

but I gotta tell this too/

as I listened to you I made a decision to win this battle - gonna refuse

to loose/

now know the right decision to choose/

let's just say nobody can fit in these shoes/

I'll be stronger than concrete/

wait till' they see - I thank you Marshall Marthers - the person

with songs that can connect to a Y C/

 

Money cannot buy/

all the love that's here tonight/

all the love that's here tonight/

ouh-ouh/

It's just you and I/

so lift your hands toward the sky/

lift your hands toward the sky/

ouh-ouh/

 

Nobody would get it - no one would understand and it gets worse

when there's no helping hand/

just wanna get the chance to step on stage with one of the pages/

from my notebook when I wrote raps with rage/

one teacher told me to think about something else when I said my dream/

others would laugh - I guess it's not all cracked up to be/

but now I see - I'm gonna focus on my lyrics/

become MC Potter - Expelliarmus - say out loud enough so

everybody can hear it/

will no longer become complicated - no more self harm/

I guess I could call your words of wisdom a special charm/

some saying are long but why do you think people write it in a song/

had so many troubles and more are coming back/

but now I'm wearing armour so I'm ready to attack/

some may see this kid as a weak little insect/

but in fact/

I'll be more than others actually expect/

 

Money cannot buy/

all the love that's here tonight/

all the love that's here tonight/

ouh-ouh/

It's just you and I/

so lift your hands toward the sky/

lift your hands toward the sky/

ouh-ouh/

 

We don't wanna fight/

so sing with me our battle cry/

sing with me our battle cry/

ooh ooh/

money cannot buy/

all the love that's here tonight/

all the love that's here tonight/

ooh ooh/

 

So now I'm writing these lyrics with a beat to you/

I'm explaining how your lyrics saved me and helped me stay true/

Sometimes I start to feel messed up/

seeing different faces as I try to get up/

everyday I'm getting knocked out in so many rounds/

they think they can relate when I say I feel more than hate/

I'm just gonna wait - wait 'till the day I die before I wake/

desperate to say goodbye cuz I feel like a mistake/

for goodness sake isn't there an escape/

for a kid like me that feels opaque/

or at least transparent cuz I'm the definition of ghost/

since I'm invisible to how many - most/

on the surface then suddenly disposed/

and do you really understand what goes on in this head?/

having cuts and bruises while writing a note soon to be dead/

however I only look up to a person like you/

they see you as the angry blonde but I see you as wisdom and truth/

 

Money cannot buy/

all the love that's here tonight/

all the love that's here tonight/

ouh-ouh/

It's just you and I/

so lift your hands toward the sky/

lift your hands toward the sky/

ouh-ouh/

 

We don't wanna fight/

so sing with me our battle cry/

sing with me our battle cry/

ooh ooh/

money cannot buy/

all the love that's here tonight/

all the love that's here tonight/
