lyrics

[Verse 1: Sam Turpin]
Uh, check (uh)
I remember quite a time when depression had me still,
Lying in my bed all the day, I had no will.
I couldn’t get up. Not for a bird in the sky,
For the people I did like and so now you wonder why.
Cause when I lost my mother, it all but disappeared:
The universe, the galaxy, the nature and my feels!
I couldn’t be arsed and it was screwing with my fam
Until one day I had the urge to play music program
And so then I made a beat! Ahh! Big, tremendous feat
For this lover of the rhythm, it’s still on my first EP!
Now imagine I could do (uh)
Nothing else but groove (uh)
And now to help my manner with the music as I move
And yes my friend, it’s true! Them people switch on you!
They see you doing better then they’ll take you for a fool.
You gotta learn to cut them out, tasting toxic in your mouth.
Take a deep breath then you shout what it is you’re all about!


[Chorus: Sam Turpin]
Ever wonder how you peacefully sleep? (Ah ha!)
No wonder how your enemies creep! (Uh uh!)
Don’t do them dirty just abide by the way:
What goes around it comes around, ah ha, true say!

Ever wonder how you peacefully sleep? (Ah ha!)
No wonder how your enemies creep! (Uh uh!)
Don’t do them dirty just abide by the way:
What goes around it comes around, ah ha, true say!

[Verse 2: Sam Turpin]
Now hold on for a second, cause nothing comes that quick.
There’s got to be a catch yeah, this industry’s some shit!
You’ve heard of the payola, and fucking people over
Well it’s as true as life is short, and trust me they’re not sober!
Everybody has their vices, for some it be mentality!
Messing with the people and their sources of vitality
Cause money makes the world spin and you tell me what sells?
The violence and the sex, bought by people who do well
In this broke economy, stripping folks’ autonomy
And it’s out here in the music, they don’t want rap properly!
“It needs to be commercial, so go water it drown!”
I just give them middle finger, they weren’t there when I was down
And my raps helped me get up, people see I got my love
And my dignity, intrinsically, said I’ma stay above
The depths of this world. The sociopaths they whirl
Like a melangerie of hate, I’ma stay practicing love!
Easy come and easy go, grateful for every show
Never ever gonna slow the pace at which I go.
Just don’t hurt nobody on the way, you never know!
You might see them coming back and then down you gotta show (Brrap!)

[Chorus: Sam Turpin]
Ever wonder how you peacefully sleep? (Ah ha!)
No wonder how your enemies creep! (Uhh uh!)
Don’t do them dirty just abide by the way:
What goes around it comes around, ah ha, true say!

Ever wonder how you peacefully sleep? (Ah ha!)
No wonder how your enemies creep! (Uhh uh!)
Don’t do them dirty just abide by the way:
What goes around it comes around, ah ha, true say!
