Outgoing Lyrics by Ettrick Shepherd

The Ettrick Shepherd EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Yo, I’m only gonna say this once
Hip-hop is dead
Minute of silence, hang your head
Got a pen with infinite ink that drips red
Cos my heart’s in every rap, it’s a bloodshed
Ain’t stopping, ain’t haltin’
When I get an idea I’m like Agent Colsien
Writing and scribbling genius shit as a result and
I’m ready to rumble like Dan Sultan
Nerd and gangster combined
Like Kid Twist, Shuffle T and Marlo
I’m taking this to places most can’t go
Cut off the baggage, jettisoned the cargo
Fuck it, yo, I’d rather smarten up then to dumb it down
Better stop, drop and roll right now
Hug a fire hydrant when I blaze through your town
Every punchline will make you wanna tap out

[Hook]
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it

[Verse 2]
Aiiyo, i’m going in for the kill
I’ma reinvent the wheel
Everything I spit it is real and original
Always keep it artistic and lyrical
Screw it, I’m saying it, I’m a miracle
And I’m different, nothing that I do is typical
People give me props on Instagram
Cos they know how relatable I am
But when I blow up and become a millionaire
Nobody will relate so will anybody care?
I got a short fuse, they sleeping on me
I wake ‘em with an alarm but they hit snooze
Hopefully soon things are gonna change
Better believe I’ma the fucking baron of the game
Creating turbulence, this shit is never plane
I‘m on the rise, I hope the efforts not in vain
So outgoing, I don’t mean friendly
I mean about my finesse as an MC
It can be tricky finding a healthy balance
Between being normal and having talent
Never been good at being social
I’m only comfortable when I’m laying vocals
Or scribbling them down in my notebook
Now you know why I‘m tryna go global

[Hook]
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it

[Verse 3]
So outgoing, so outgoing
Bossin’ up, going ham
For Brisbane, for Aus, for the fam
Get my platform and lift it because that’s the plan
Goddamn, finally I’m feeling like the man
Fuck walking the walk, I ran
And I ain’t even smoked a gram
I am finished yet
But I’m hotter than the bud of a cigarette
I’m desperate to be the one who did the best
I wanna be the one with the biggest cheque
I’ve done this correct, not wrong
Damn right I come on too strong
But I’ve turned that into an advantage
It’s a weakness I know longer take for granted

[Hook]
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
So outgoing, so outgoing
And by now I think everyone knows it
