Speak Up Lyrics by Retep

Self Over Status

2017

Verse 1
What is it now?
Youre the feeling I get when I start to look down
The burdens you placed im feeling them now
Feeling let down the look from the clouds not to look now
Up in the sky lies these blank faces most see these safe places
What goes up must come down better brace it the underground is where I feel the safest
Can't trust these outsiders embrace the role of the outlier
You talking through pandoras box im still thinking outside ya
I get ignored but people still talking to me
Walking to me feel invisible so they walking through me
Change lob it to me but dont hog the new me
Ill never be the one to please these people
Sometimes I feel I dont need these people
But they need me tho never heard the words pete can go
If youre out of my league im getting that vetoed
Im a man of the people they fans of my ego
Demands are illegal I tell you the plan to be equal
They throw they hands up and they land on a eagle

Hook
All you have to do is speak
All you have to do is speak
All you have to do is speak up and I forgive you
All you have to do is speak
All you have to do is speak
All you have to do is speak up and im still with you ah!
(x2)

Verse 2
I feel bad for the girls who lost me dawg
Originally thought that I lost my cause
But its off and on they the black cloud just to top it off
They cut me off my brainstorms strapped with gauze
My thunder was stolen your staying cut throat till I heard your applause
Hands out reading my lines feeling the world in my palms
Im hoping regret takes over you
You lost me and you won't improve
Talking to your ex your 0-2
I was changing your tune but you wanna to continue to lose
Thats ok 17 years of the same response
Im used to it now so my shame I flaunt
Driving me crazy my lane is gone
But my brain is able to aid my brawn
Im dead to yall my cementary plays along
I laid in my grave and days went on
I gave up but my fall from grace was saved not dawned
Watching me suffer adopting my troubles
Tsunami to puddles a portal to puzzles
Machete to bubbles im the gun in a knife fight
And its impossible to find my rebuttals
They hidden right under the struggle
The light at the end of the tunnel
Whats keeping me humble
As soon as im near it I start seeing double
Im wishing I told me there nothing above you
If life is a race people can't run from the truth
Learning the hard way and walk in my shoes
Feeling my pain with every step I gotta regroup because

Verse 3
She killing my vibe like I do the last verse
Make her repeat my last words
Faster than my last breath on my death bed
Sitting next to a attendant whos a meth head
Now im independent writing raps on the bed spread
Best nurse sent in but to me thats another obsticle
So sick I infect the whole hospital
Next thing you know im next to Gregory house
Maybe its derek? Symptoms are figments of doubt
My fate got a date with destiny so I guess im taking you out
Killing them all killing them off
Line em all up and then watching them fall
She got no firing squad
Im drawing a blank and im getting a call
The call dropped reception died
I received the message go live my life
The phone lines cut in one swipe
Her mood be the grims scythe
Silent killer still coming for me
Suppressor on cupids bow can't hear that you adore me
So im remaining dormant no door mat
Gotta step up and stand before me because
