Talent Lyrics by Chris James

2015

[Verse 1]
You wake up with the goal to bring these pages to the board
Make em listen to your words, to a story that you told
Of a man who beat the odds, despite the growing fear
That once you blow it though those speakers there is nothing they can hear

This is a new game, we have to ready our guns
Cause while the others fall asleep, we'll be writing this song
This job will never make you rest, so shall we take up the test?
May this melodies always pave our way to success

[Chorous]
Times have changed and so have we
The stakes are higher can't you see
Your fate depends on luck, it makes us live in disbelief

Some are skilled and some are not
And some work hard to get a shot
Dont get me wrong but talent is irrelevant for some

[verse 2]
I only rap to make you see that there are other sides of me
That I could never make you see, are you still proud of me?
I don't care about technique, I bring a message across
You'll judge whatever I'll do, I won't be mourning your loss

If I could fill expectations, I wouldn't be making more music
I'd probably work in an office, or slave away as a student
My dream to stand on a stage and sing these words out aloud
Will keep me going, day to day, till I can sing to a crowd

[bridge]
That I am proud of
What I do, what I say
You might just piss in my boots
But I know that I'll be okay
Cause at the end of the day, I really love what I do
Not even failure is able to come fuck with the truth

[chorous]
Times have changed and so have we
The stakes are higher can't you see
Your fate depends on luck, it makes us live in disbelief

Some are skilled and some are not
And some work hard to get a shot
Dont get me wrong but talent is irrelevant for some

[verse 3]
We have to constantly evolve or we will stay on the ground
I'll do whatever it takes to turn this table around
I may just stand on it, for the hell of it
Take my guitar and make you listen to this serenade

To show you that I elevate, above all the rest
I will repeatedly swear, I stand up to confess
Once you discover your strength you make the most of it
No matter what they say, just keep on throwing it

[verse 4]
Till your voice is heard and your song is sung
There comes a time in your life where you might think that you're done
Just remeber that theres a chance that you could prove them wrong
Sometimes you have to turn around to see how far you've come

(come on play that again)

[chorous]
Times have changed and so have we
The stakes are higher can't you see
Your fate depends on luck, it makes us live in disbelief

Some are skilled and some are not
And some work hard to get a shot
Dont get me wrong but talent is irrelevant for some
