REASONS

Since that young age, I guess I've come a long way/

use to walk in different shoes but now I tie my own lace/

they called me rebellious brat cause I did things my way/

brought trouble along with its best friend called pain/

never saw life as blue skies and sunny/

I only noticed danger, blackouts, plus my pockets were full of lint,

no money/

always looked out for my mumsy, dad, big brother too cause they all

mean something/

to be honest, they're like my only guidance/

the only solutions to helping me survive cause/

I guess I'm a bit of a screw up/

never use to focus at the desk, only thought about what would happen if

my songs blew up/

shoot up, as if my wish came true/

so far my wish is just never leaving the booth/

the one at home, been doing this music 'ting on my own/

when I spit those last lyrics, make sure it'll be engraved onto stone/

 

'Cause I remember the day when me and tears first met/

then came pain, suddenly we were all best friends/

though I don't know when I'll ever see them again/

cause music pushed both away while singing "you and them is an end"

and "you have me as a reason, original M-U-S-I-C, I'm staying by your side

because I see, I see you with your family, and stepping on stage with the

M-I-C and me"/

 

Money is always on my mind yet I've been told time and time, that it's evil/

but evil has got me confused cause with people, friends, the way that ship

ends at the tip of the iceberg making you see death/

you don't get it do you? Well I didn't at first, until these days turned to

months and got ten times worse/

so then I took it, took a beat and wrote a verse about every tear drop that

was hidden in this world/

in a lost little girl, everybody sees her as a weird stranger/

while everybody had friends over to watch the power rangers/

I was sitting floor watching MTV base, glasses on my face at the age of

four/

but I wanted more, I wanted something to say, I wanted people to see the

real Taytay/

the Gemstone - TGH/

I wanted to spread my wings and finally fly away/

 

'Cause I remember the day when me and tears first met/

then came pain, suddenly we were all best friends/

though I don't know when I'll ever see them again/

cause music pushed both away while singing "you and them is an end"

and "you have me as a reason, original M-U-S-I-C, I'm staying by your side

because I see, I see you with your family, and stepping on stage with the

M-I-C and me"/

 

Even though I'm all on my own/

I still pray for those that's had hearts turned into stone/

I pray for those that don't even have a little home/

I pray for those that have cancer and weak bones/

cause I know how hard it is, struggling everyday, facing drama with that

smile covering the pain/

but I'm still grateful waking up another day, alive, even if it rains/

I take those raindrops as blessings and angels saying it'll be okay/

I listen to my mum and the wisdom she has to say/

I listen to my dad as he guides me to this day/

I listen to my big brother, one of my role models who works hard and

steps away from trouble/

so many puddles I had to dodge, cause I've dreamed of this and wanted it

so so much/

it's been difficult facing people telling me that I should quit/

but rapping is my one and only chance I can never miss, yeah/
