There's a fire in my heart
It’s in my soul
And I got a choice let it go out or let it grow
Let it take control holding my mind without parole
Let the flame engulf every aspect of my whole being
Till you're feeling the heat
Seeing metal and steel peeling
Degrees increasing with speed reaching a peak, steaming
I've been feeding the beast even though it’s burning me
What you know about a dream that you need
But still it hurts you see
It's Shao .. who?
You couldn't hear me if you were Horton
But I paid my dues so I never movеd like Randy Orton
Law and Business graduated so thеn music is my third degree
Sold 20,000 albums on my own before you heard of me
These nerds will see me only if there's views on screen that's cursory
My passion nurtures me
But still an anchor like Ron Burgundy
I've got a manga, headphone brand and store without a bursary
If I planet (plan it), then I murk it breeder
You can call me Mercury
The nerve of me
Thinking I could do it with no label
No middle man to come and eat the food up off my table
It's Mr DIY so if they can't believe I’m able
I will rap until I’m horse and only rest when I'm in stable
So I’m grateful
To every single fan of mine that's into me
Without you, there's no way that I'd survive within this industry
These quote unquote professionals still treat me like a mystery
Blocking and avoiding without checking out my history
I hate these tastemakers
I’m reaching for the listerene
Your greed for power is what kills the art within this scene
Turning grime to pop now grime is popping you 'wan be in it seen?
Listen for a minute please
I love music, I just want to be expressive
But if you're black and passionate then that is called aggressive
Even worse if you're intelligent, question if you're authentic
If your actions are not matching exactly with what's expected
Fam, I wanna be a legend
Expand till the whole world gets it
And Romanian (roam mainly) outta England bredder you can call that Brexit
No way for great ascension if you're standard with progression
Success is in my essence my desire and my weapon
So I'm telling
If you wanna live off music full time
Without being a puppet hidden within, a, lie
You need a brain
A tolerance for pain
The will to make the gains when they knock you down again and again
You need to understand your audience
Think of them when you're recording it
A master of your craft without a doubt the most importantest
It doesn't happen overnight
You gotta fight
Give every single drop of time
And sacrifice
And don't apologise art if it's honest
If you build it slow it can't broken fast that's a promise
It's never plain (plane), you gotta train
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Now lemme play
Cos my 16's are jailbait
My 24's are cuter
My 32's are MILFS and my 64's are Cougars
I love this thing to death so there's nothing you can do ta
Break, my direction or connection let's call it router
Ain't, no exception or protection for when I skewer
Taking their heads away their from necks like Henry Tudor
Execution's super
I chase the dream like Kruger
You dudes are music polluting get moved with pooper scooper
Because you sounded like Drake, you thinking now you Future
Originality's lacking I'll give you something newer
A whole new world I'm Aladdin (a lad in) the running for the ruler
So if you're shunning I'm hunting you down without computer
Keep believing that you safe
But really it's too late
You see you next Tuesday
I'll see you in two days
Ain't gonna stay in the shadows all my life
But it's ShaoDow fam say my damn name right
