Kano & Katie Pearl
Kano deals with his insecurities about fame, his ability and his motivation for music in this song.
He considers what makes him the artist he is, why he actually makes music and whether going mainstream is the right decision.
[Verse 1]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
When I see the fans go mad I think why do they like me?
There's about a thousand other boys just like me
Spitting lyrics on the mic dressed in Nike
What makes me so special?
When they say I'm the next one to blow
I say why do they think me?
All I do is stay in mostly and sleep
And all I do is watch Channel U and drink tea, why me?
All I do is listen to myself and get my lyrics in order
Play my own songs and give a mirror performance
Now I'm about to sign I'm sorta of in there with Warners
I'm moving on now, wish me good luck
My manager said this the quickest deal ever
I said 18 years ain't the quickest deal ever
I'm trying to sell and make the quickest meal ever
Support my family so I can feel better
But its not for the cheddar, It's not for the fame
It's not for the Rolex, It's not for the chain
It's just for the respect, I've been doing this for years Remember, free of charge I ain't rich yet
[Hook]
Sometimes I think is it all worth it
I ain't a pop star I can't be perfect
I've know I've got far, but is it to far to turn back?
Sometimes I have to kick myself
'Cause sometimes I can't believe this shit myself
So sometimes you'll see me in a daydream
Thinking could the underground go mainstream
Sometimes I have to kick myself
'Cause sometimes I can't believe this shit myself
So sometimes you'll see me in a daydream
Thinking could the underground go mainstream
[Verse 2]
It's so real now, I've had dreams of this album
So reality is the theme of this album
Boy I dunno if I'll make cream off this album
I just wanna see fans screaming and shouting
I ain't doubting my ability but sometimes I think why me particularly?
What different have I got to offer lyrically?
But maybe there is something about me that the worlds dying to see
And without me, who can replace me a few can amaze me
And literally do what I do to the rave scene
And go from spitting in the booth to the mainstream
But am I gifted? Maybe I am
18 I'm only a baby, I am they say
But was I born to do this? Yes
I don't have to sign no forms to do this
But I just take it one step at a time
One word at a time
One stage at a time
One breath at a time
Until I run out of time
[Hook]
Sometimes I think is it all worth it
I ain't a pop star, I can't be perfect
I've know I've got far, but is it to far to turn back?
Sometimes I have to kick myself
'Cause sometimes I can't believe this shit myself
So sometimes you'll see me in a daydream
Thinking could the underground go mainstream
Sometimes I have to kick myself
'Cause sometimes I can't believe this shit myself
So sometimes you'll see me in a daydream
Thinking could the underground go mainstream
Sometimes I have to kick myself
'Cause sometimes I can't believe this shit myself
So sometimes you'll see me in a daydream
Thinking could the underground go mainstream
Sometimes I have to kick myself
'Cause sometimes I can't believe this shit myself
So sometimes you'll see me in a daydream
Thinking could the underground go mainstream
