Breaking Out Lyrics by James Mac (UK)

Tension

0

[Intro]
The final track.... goodbye

Listen

[Verse 1]
For this life that I been given, man, I’m feeling so blessed
Through this life that I been given, I’ve been put to the test
Fuck ‘this life that I been given’, man, I call it a quest
I’ve been depressed and stressed for time, it ain’t been addressed
Whether you love it or hate it, J mac, you know the name
Been on the road for some time and I’m headed to the fame
Fourteen on a project, fuckin’ up the game
Just like Tory, you unbelievers, stay in your lane
I say that I’m the best to envision what I want
While you partied, getting drunk
I wrote endlessly for months
Hear me out, just for once
I don’t put on a front
This ain’t turn-up, I don’t stunt
My well-being ain’t been discussed
I’m writing so quick, I’m sweating on this paper
I believe in myself, I don’t listen to the haters
They downplay my skill, but bitch I’m so much greater
If i ain’t grabbing attention, trust me, Ima get it later
Bitch, I'm gonna get a gold medal, ain’t accepting failure
Don’t come running when I made it, you best switch your behaviour
Spitting it so violent, I might need an inhaler
If J Mac is the movie, then TENSION's the trailer
People counting on my music, pressures overwhelming
Writing raps and revising is painful, I can’t bare it
Instead of crying and cutting, I thought I would just share it
Since a little boy I been destined to do this, I prepared this
People counting on my music, pressures overwhelming
Writing raps and revising is painful, I can’t bare it
Instead of crying and cutting, I thought I would just share it
Since a little boy I been destined to do this, I prepared this

[Verse 2]
Just because I’m white, these people think I cannot spit
But shut up motherfucker because I don’t give a shit
I’m doing what I love and everyday my passion’s growing
I’m doing what I love; I’m riding the beat and I’m flowing
All my homies smoking green
Fucking bitches, sipping lean
It was king, it was cool
Seemed like something I do
Instead of learning, I was putting reputation ahead of lessons
It got me stressing, I must confess it
Life is distressing
Writing’s turned from a hobby to a distraction
Ignoring the pain I’m feeling instead of pure satisfaction
Goddamn, no-ones gives a fuck who I am
Just a young boy on the come up with a mic in my hand
Ain’t no-one believing, how am i gonna achieve it
A lack of support from relation got me fucking grieving
But i’m so fucking grateful for the love that I’m receiving
And i’m so fucking grateful for homies that believe in
Me, And Ima prove them right
The tunnel is dark, but I can see the light
In the distance, I’m listening to my heart
And ima keep trying until I make it to the charts
Goodbye

[Outro]
Thank you for listening to my debut album, TENSION. I hope you enjoyed the last fourteen tracks. I've really worked hard over the last 8 months to make this project absolutely perfect. It has gone through tens of drafts, but this was the version that felt right. I want to thank everyone that has supported me, for helping me do what I love. I also want to thank everyone that didn't believe in me, because you gave me a chance to prove you wrong. This is just the beginning. I've got so much more planned. This project is me breaking out. Of what? Just listen to the next album
