Tempo Of The Dance Lyrics - Singles - Mic Righteous

[Verse 1] 

Trust me, never done this shit for no one but me 

If we're bein' truthful, brother, I can tell you I've been hurt 

Sometimes I think, "Fuck these words" 

And then I write one deep verse 

And remind myself that I've seen worse, so I sit 

My publisher would rather put 1D first 

I remember when there was a time you used to trust me, thoughts 

Late night walks where it was just me 

Head torn, I've been tourin' up and down the country 

To come back to the county that I come from with no currency 

Visit one of my brothers cause he needs a bit of company 

And see he's livin' luxury 

Stuntin' doesn't seem so struggle-free 

My brother doesn't seem so brotherly 

You'll say you didn't mean it but the words you said are stuck with me 

I know you're under pressure, runnin' your own company 

You told me that the dream doesn't seem like it's comin' true 

Usually I brush it off but couldn't cause it comes from you 

That struck a chord, before you would encourage me, it cut me deep 

Too late to turn my back on everyone in front of me 

Thoughts? Fuck workin' like a horse for a couple beans 

Small town talk ask around 

If you sow a seed in doubt, plants will sprout 

Dumb digits'll climb up and they can't come down 

If you don't know your words are harmin', you better calm your mouth 

Vulnerable, in your lies lying comfortable 

Make you seem untouchable, and you're bein' gullible 

When that little bubble bursts you'll learn who really fucks with you 

That's why I'm screamin', "Fuck 'em all" 

[Hook] 

Only old pals around me, just allow me if you're not 

Cause these man only wanna be around you when you hot 

You wasn't 'round us from the drop, you just found us at the top 

And now I got these doubters, you can doubt us if you want 

Because I live to prove wrong 

(Only old pals around me) 

I said I live to prove wrong 

(I don't wanna hear your doubt nah allow me) 

I said I live to prove wrong 

(Don't doubt me if you don't know about me) 

I said I live to prove wrong 

(They won't know what happens 'til they ground me) 

[Verse 2] 

(They only wanna know about you when you're hot) 

Now the album's gonna drop 

All I hear is, "One day this" and "Some day that" 

Thought I got away from the devil but the cunt came back 

She put that pussy on a plate and I ate that 

Forbidden fruit, so my ex girl livin' proof 

Prayin' that the next girl isn't too 

Wasted energy, basic memories, who's to blame? 

Wish the buzz was somethin' you could change 

If I could I would've never loved you more than this music game 

But will I ever love again? 

Took a rapper for granted, found the highest target 

Shoot your aim 

Look at what we do for fame 

Get all we want then do away 

Well that's human nature, we've been through the pain 

We move on to others, they move on and do the same 

And that's the usual, the ugliest people can be so beautiful 

Suddenly, the beat it doesn't seem so suitable 

No time for rest as I write the rest of this musical 

First part, don't let go of the past 

Now you have their ears, don't let go of their hearts 

You're Esco with the bars, your friends know that you're hard 

They want you in the charts, don't let go of the chance 

Headin' out to shows with no petrol in the car 

Every second that I let go, I get old, I can't 

My family don't get why I'm dead broke 

I'm deffo on my arse 

I guess that's the tempo of the dance 

I'm certain of my future like a psychic read a palm 

Maybe it's the patience that's ringin' red alarms 

I don't wanna see a skeptic have the last laugh 

Nearly spent seven years to perfect my every part 

Thinkin' of my examples and I don't get very far 

Because not many of them last or achieve 

What they set out from the start 

Selling out, dwellin' on what could be 

I live to prove people wrong because they overlook me 

I live to see my son smile, father livin' cushty 

Knowin' that my friends are the only ones that push me 

The reason I ain't sittin' 'round thinkin' 'bout what could be 

I pushed and I pushed since the day that I came out the pussy 

Came out the womb and as soon as I could speak 

I know where God had put me 

Came out the womb and as soon as I could speak 

I know where God had put me 

[Hook] 

Only old pals around me, just allow me if you're not 

Cause these man only wanna be around you when you're hot 

You wasn't 'round us from the drop, you just found us at the top 

And now I got these doubters, you can doubt us if you want 

Because I live to prove wrong 

Only old pals around me 

I said I live to prove wrong 

I don't wanna hear your doubt nah allow me 

I said I live to prove wrong 

Don't doubt me if you don't know about me 

I said I live to prove wrong 

They won't know what happens 'til they ground me
